Sonia seems to have heard Queenie's voice. When she looked up, she saw her best friend winking at her.
Sonia actually wanted to laugh. Most of the time, when something happened, Queenie was even more excited than her. And she was always the first one to jump out and stand up for her. In fact, Sonia can deal with Hertha by herself. And she doesn't need Queenie to specially come over. But Queenie being here actually comforted her.
However, Hertha is trying her best to get Dixon's attention now. After Hassan was slapped in face by Sonia earlier, she felt that the situation had gone out of control. So she immediately changed her target and planned to let Hassan take all the blame. Then she could get away from this.
Anyway, she was just the one who made the proposal and helped. And it was Hassan who made the move and got photographed. So there will be no problem to blame him.
However, Sonia and Dixon's reaction are exactly the same. They both walked pass her without looking at her, as if they didn't see her at all. They completely ignored her greetings and looked extremely indifferent.
Queenie smiled on the side. This is the real Sonia! When a nobody comes to provoke her, Sonia never even pays attention to her.
Sonia took a look at her watch and realized that it was really about the time to walk down the aisle. Later, Sonia separated with Dixon and came to the backstage. She tidied up her hairstyle and took a look Floyd. "Do I look okay?"
"Hmm."
Floyd said. "Later, there will be photographers on both sides of the aisle. So you need to pause for a while and give photographers some time to take pictures. After all, you are our image ambassador."
He paused and then added: "Well... as for Hassan, the staff on the backstage are trying their best to save the situation. He will still show up on the aisle. But as you know, the fingerprints on Hally's face... may be discovered by the sharp-eyed media. We have asked the makeup artist to help him cover it up. Don't be too angry. I would have done the same thing if I were you."
In the end, it is necessary for him to appease both parties. He has to try first to make the mistake sound less serious and then to reduce it to nothing at all.
He intended to ask Sonia to stop making trouble and suck it up no matter how wronged she felt. After all, they are both spokesperson of the same company. Things won't look good if they completely turn against each other.
Sonia understood the reason why Floyd made this decision. But when he really said those words to her, she felt uncomfortable. This means he intends to ask her to take a step back and quell the discord.
Sonia picked up a helpless smile. In the entertainment industry, whoever has the stronger background has the final say. So she could only pretend to agree. Later, Queenie and Leon came in and comforted Sonia. "Did they ask you not to make a big deal out of this?"
"Yeah." Sonia lowered her eyelashes. "They probably can't afford to offend Hassan."
Queenie sighed. She felt distressed by Sonia. "It's okay. Anyway, we don't work in this circle. We will never meet that guy again."
"It doesn't seem to be that bad." Sonia said in a faint tone: "At least, it makes me completely give up on everyone in this circle."
Queenie patted Sonia on the shoulder. "Walk down that aisle today and surpass all the other hypocritical female artists with your good look. I'll be waiting to see you conquer everyone."
Hearing her friend's comforting words, Sonia smiled: "Good."
