Chapter 19: Trapped In Our Own Game

I stayed behind and asked my assistant to bring me my laptop so I could continue working there.

A few hours passed, and just as I had predicted, my assistant finally came to inform me at 11:30 that Lilian and her team had arrived.

I closed my laptop and stood up.

When Kendra saw me, a smile curled on her lips as she walked over.

"

Director Alicia, I’m terribly sorry. We had an early meeting at the company, and it ran longer than expected. My phone was with my assistant, and he must have hung up on you by mistake. I don’t know why he didn’t notify me or even send a message, but I’ll definitely have a word with him. I hope you don’t mind."

Although her words sounded apologetic, there was no sincerity in her expression.

"Alicia, I’m really sorry," Lilian added. "Something came up, and it took longer than we expected."

I smiled calmly.

"I was just about to head out."

Kendra returned the smile.

"Don’t worry, Director Alicia. You can go. We’ll take care of everything here."

"Actually, the photographer and the makeup artist stepped out for lunch since you didn’t arrive earlier," I replied. "So we postponed the shoot to 1 p.m."

I glanced at my watch.

"It’s also my break time, so I’m going to take care of something as well. I’ll return with them in about an hour."

Kendra’s smile immediately faltered.

"What does that mean? Are you expecting us to wait here for an hour? It’s already noon. If we only start at 1 p.m., when will we even finish?"

"I’m sorry, Kendra," I said evenly. "They needed a break after waiting for hours. For a moment, I thought your team wouldn’t show up at all."

I gestured toward the set.

"Everything is already prepared, so you can use this time to double-check things. I’ll be back in an hour. But if that’s inconvenient for you, we can always reschedule."

Behind me, Lilian and Kendra stiffened, but I didn’t care. By then, I was already outside. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
