Chapter 335


    At first, it was just an ordinary scene rehearsal, but now it felt like a secret affair. Casey was so


    tense that his whole body stiffened, and he stuttered his lines.


    He long forgot any sense of professionalism.


    However, as he acted with Izabe, he gradually got into the role. Izabe was impressed by his


    acting skills and had to admire him.


    Casey acted on par with Harper, and his extraordinary talent was enviable.


    Izabe gradually felt the gap between herself and him during their scenes together.


    Because they rehearsed several hours during the day, Casey had a dream at night. In his dream,


    Izabe clutched his sleeve and seductively called him " brother", making his heart race.


    When he woke up, Casey was still immersed in the dream and felt weak and numb all over. He


    shamefully covered his face and huddled under the nket, blushing with embarrassment.


    On Wednesday morning, Izabe got up at six o''clock as usual. She didn''t have breakfast, as


    hunger helped her develop character. The recording wouldst all day. With everyone using their


    phones to order takeout, Izabe wasn''t worried about going hungry.


    She arrived at the recording site just past seven-thirty. Half the artists were there, divided into


    groups getting their makeup done.


    Izabe didn''t have a makeup artist and did her own makeup. She casually found a corner from the


    camera to do her makeup and review her lines.


    At nine o''clock, Harper and Ariana finally strolled in. Both had their own makeup artists, discussing


    their uing performances while getting their makeup done.


    "Why is Ariana working so hard, even going over her lines while getting her makeup done?"


    someone nearby asked.


    "Since I''m in thepetition, I have to give it my all. I don''t want to hold back my senior and bezy


    like some people."


    The person understood the hidden meaning in her words, then asked, "By the way, where''s


    Izabe? Who''s in your group?"


    "She only rehearsed with us once and never looked for us again. We invited her, but she didn''t


    come. Maybe she''s just naturally confident."


    As they were talking, there was amotion around them. Ariana''s words were interrupted, and


    she frowned at the blocked entrance.


    "What''s going on?"


    "It seems like Mr. Dempsey has arrived."


    A glint appeared in Ariana''s eyes. Was Casey here? Could it be that he was here to see her? After


    all, they had once filmed a movie together. Although she was just a minor supporting actress in that


    movie, at least she and Casey appeared in the same shot.


    Moreover, Casey was cold and distant, not liking to interact with strangers. Suddenly showing up in


    the makeup room must be to see someone familiar.


    Who in this room had a closer rtionship with Casey than Ariana?


    Thinking that Casey was here for her, Ariana''s heart raced, and her face flushed. She stared at the


    entrance, wanting Casey to see her as soon as he walked in.


    Casey''s patience and kindness were only for Izabe. He wouldn''t even spare an extra nce at


    anyone else. With an indifferent look, he nced around the room, and his intimidating gaze forced


    people to make way for him.


    His eyes swept over Ariana, and then walked towards her.


    Some people whispered from a distance, "Could it be that he''s here specifically to see Ariana?"


    "No way! How could Casey have anything to do with Ariana? She''s innocent, so don''t spread


    rumors."


    "You don''t know? Ariana was in Casey''s second movie. Although she was an insignificant


    supporting actress, they worked together. It''s normal for him to visit his former colleagues or


    friends..."


    Ariana covered her heart. As she saw Casey slowly approaching her, she felt her heart was about


    to stop. She stood up, her face red with nervousness and her voice trembling, "…"


    She wanted to greet Casey but didn''t know what to call him.


    Before Ariana could speak, Casey coldly nced at her and walked right past her.


    Regardless of his expression or attitude, he seemed extremely unfamiliar with her. What was going


    on?


    A sense of embarrassment grew in her heart. Ariana thought of her previous nervousness and felt


    her eyes redden with shame.


    Her excitement had just been doused with cold water. Although Casey looked in her direction, he


    wasn''t looking at her.


    She stiffly turned around and followed everyone else''s gaze at him.


    Casey surveyed the room like an emperor, seeming casual but secretly focusing on an


    inconspicuous corner.


    "You guys go about your business. I''m just here to see how you''re doing with your preparations."


    As Casey spoke, he moved from one makeup table to another, making his way to the corner where


    Izabe was. His usual dislike for interacting with others vanished, and he patiently answered


    everyone''s questions before finally reaching that corner. He sneakily took a chocte bar from his


    pocket and ced it on the table.


    "Don''t forget to eat. Good luck in thepetition; I''ll be watching from below." These words were


    meant for Izabe, but he didn''t name names, as if encouraging everyone present.


    "Thank you, Casey."

    "We''ll remember to eat well."


    "You''re such a nice person."


    "Who said he''s difficult to get along with?"


    Casey looked at Izabe and gave her a faint smile; having delivered the treat, it was time to leave.


    Izabe raised an eyebrow at Casey, and only after his figure disappeared behind the door did she


    shift her gaze to the chocte on the table.


    Their subtle actions went unnoticed by others, except for one person.


    Ariana.


    After Casey walked past her, she couldn''t help but stare at him, watching him secretly take a


    chocte bar from his pocket and put it on Izabe''s table.


    Why was it Izabe? Why did it have to be Izabe?


    How did Casey and Izabe meet? Or did Izabe seduce him?


    After Casey left, Ariana felt some malicious nces directed at her, like knives slicing her flesh.


    At this moment, her hearing seemed to fail her amidst the surrounding noise, but she could clearly


    hear the whispers about her.


    "Did you see that? Ariana just tried to say hello to Mr. Dempsey but got totally ignored. I thought you


    said he knew her. He treated her like a stranger, or even worse."


    "I think maybe Mr. Dempsey didn''t recognize Ariana."


    After getting her makeup done, Izabe received her costume from the production team. She put on


    a light-colored dress and loosely tied up her hair. The bright light in the dressing room made her


    look wless, her skin milky white and her eyes dazzling like jewels.


    Izabe was drop-dead gorgeous. Even without makeup, she could make people feel inferior. When


    she made her entrance, the room immediately quieted down.


    Many of the artists there looked down on Izabe, initially thinking she was just average-looking.


    Later, they realized her bare face wasn''t as bad as rumored, but they still didn''t like her, treating her


    like a pretty useless face.


    But who wouldn''t want to be a good-looking pretty face?


    The dress on Izabe seemed tailor-made for her, entuating her waist.


    Izabe seemed oblivious to the strange looks around her. She stood in front of the vanity mirror


    fixing her hair when Ariana appeared in the reflection. She turned her head.


    "Vixen!" Ariana cursed. "All you do is seduce people!"


    Izabe was baffled by the insult.


    "How did you meet Casey?"


    Izabe immediately understood. It must have been when she saw Casey secretly giving her


    chocte.


    Izabe narrowed her eyes, leaned in close to Ariana, and said with a graceful smile, "None of your


    business."
