As soon as Heather appeared, she was surrounded by several staff members, all eager to know what had happened yesterday.
Despite their envy and jealousy, what they wanted to know most was where Nian Shen had taken her last night!
She didnât care about that, what she cared more about was: "Has Mr. Nian arrived?"
Heatherâs question reassured everyone a bit.
This at least indicated that Nian Shen and Heather hadnât spent the night together, hence they didnât arrive together.
Is that right...
Everyone sighed with relief.
It made sense for Nian Shen to fancy Qu Leqi, at least sheâs got the looks and the figure, not to mention sheâs a big star.
But if it were with Heather...
Oh dear, how many people would feel dissatisfied!
"Mr. Nian only needs to invest, he doesnât need to come here every day."
It seemed like there wasnât much gossip there, so everyone lost interest and gradually dispersed, discussing whether last nightâs events were just coincidences, and that Nian Shenâs helping of Heather was just because he is a generous and helpful person.
"Wei Wei!" Su Jin ran over to her, "Why did you come back to work so quickly? Didnât they give you a break?"
Heather honestly replied: "Yes, Mr. Nian did allow me a few days off at home, but I refused."
"Ah? Why did you refuse!? Itâs rare to find a boss so nice these days!"
"Do you have a way to get Mr. Nianâs contact information?"
"Ah? How would I have Mr. Nianâs contact information! Maybe the director has it... What do you need Mr. Nianâs contact for?"
"Got it... never mind."
The director probably wouldnât tell her anyway.
"Hey, come over here!" Su Jin suddenly pulled her.
A staff member walked past them, holding a bunch of bright red roses and heading inside.
"Definitely another suitor whoâs been blinded by Qu Leqi."
Those who work with Qu Leqi every day have already stopped believing in any public personas projected by big stars; they know itâs all just a facade. Qu Leqiâs personal character is particularly poor in the work circle.
Heather wasnât very interested in her business.
But soon enough, someone came running out excitedly discussing something: "Oh my gosh, Su Jin! Do you know who sent those flowers to Qu Leqi?"
"Who?"
"Nian Shen!"
"What?" Su Jin jumped in surprise, "Is Nian Shenâs eyesight going bad or something? Why would he actually fancy Qu Leqi!"
Nian Shen?
Hearing this name, Heather also looked over.
"No kidding? Although the official reasoning was that he couldnât make it to dinner as promised yesterday and felt sorry for standing the lady up, hence he sent a bouquet as an apology, but anyone with clear eyes can see itâs more than just that, right?"
"Ah, another tall, rich, and handsome man has fallen!"
...
Qu Leqi received the flowers and placed them in the most conspicuous spot on set.
While Heather was preparing to change clothes for her stunt harness work, Qu Leqi picked up the flowers right in front of her and sniffed them, her expression seemingly repeating yesterdayâs words: If Nian Shen doesnât fancy me, would he fancy an ugly freak like you?
Heather didnât care about any of Qu Leqiâs actions, she saw them as too childish.
While she repeatedly messed up takes and the director kept ordering retakes, someone quietly arrived.
He came very discreetly without alerting anyone; while everyone was busy filming, he stood at the very back of the seating area, watching everything.
