I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 281

Sienna firmly believed that the world was just a massive simulation, and obnoxious NPCs were randomly spawned everywhere to ruin your day. Changing maps didn't make them disappear.

Whether it was the corporate office or a film set, work felt exactly the same.

Take Joey Quinn, for instance, who had just arrived a step behind everyone else.

She glared at Sienna with a deep scowl, whispering something to her assistant.

It definitely wasn't anything nice.

Joey was indeed complaining. She had just found out yesterday that Sienna held the title of Vice Director at Stellaris Corp. She was actually management, which explained why Joey couldn't just get her fired with a snap of her fingers.

But recalling Madeline Vaughn's stern warning, Joey felt it was purely an exaggeration.

This wasn't her first rodeo. She had a massive fanbase and a naturally sweet, approachable face. She was the kind of person where, even if they got into a screaming match, the public would instinctively assume the other party was the aggressor.

Even if she did clash with Sienna, the woman was just a behind-the-scenes staffer with zero social media presence. On the internet, whoever controlled the narrative was the innocent victim.

Today was the final test shoot. This sequence required the female model to be on camera entirely solo.

Stripping away the romantic couple dynamic, the lens would focus purely on the jewelry itself. This was a pristine accessory showcase, making it the most critical part of the campaign.

Director Quentin Sinclair had adjusted the lighting and angles countless times, but he still felt something was off.

By noon, at the temporary poolside set, Joey stood in a dark green velvet gown with a classic V-neck. The delicate jade necklace rested against her pale, flawless neck, its translucent emerald hue perfectly complementing the crystal-clear pool water.

She posed sideways by the edge of the pool, lazily running a hand through her hair while trailing her fingertips across the water's surface, flashing her standard, picture-perfect commercial smile.

"No, no, no." Quentin poked his head out from behind the monitor, his brow deeply furrowed. "Why does this feel so awkward?"

One sentence instantly shattered Joey's hopes.
