“Tell me about it. I thought she was some wealthy kid! Turns out, she’s all style and no substance.”
Catalina was so furious that she could have confronted them. However, this time, she was too embarrassed and hastily left.
An hour later, the news of Gloria and Catalina returning their purchases became the top trending topic. Catalina sat in her car, her face flushed. No matter how others talked about her or looked down on her, she could ignore them.
However, she knew that Harmony must be laughing at her somewhere. Her earlier arrogance matched her current embarrassment. She was certain Harmony would mock her for this whenever they met again.
“D*mn it.” Catalina slapped the steering wheel in anger. Just then, her phone rang, and she answered it. “Hey, Reuben, I’m upset tonight. Come and keep me company!”
“Catalina, I was just about to tell you that I have a night scene tonight. I can’t come back.”
“I don’t care. You have to come back and keep me company,” Catalina huffed.
“I really can’t. How can I make a name for myself if I don’t focus on acting? I saw the news online; don’t overthink, alright?”
“Do you know who got me into this situation?”
“Who is it?”
“Harmony Mayo, that b*tch!”
“What does she have to do with it?”
“She tricked me into buying so many bags this afternoon. I shouldn’t have fallen for her scheme!” Catalina thought that if she shared her grievances with Reuben, he would definitely feel sorry for her and comfort her. However, Reuben’s reply was somewhat cold. “Well, you better watch out next time. It really affects you and your mother’s image like that.”
“Don’t you feel sorry for me? Don’t you care about me?” Catalina flipped out.
“You’re an adult. You should consume rationally.” Reuben’s tone became even colder. “I need to return to the set now.”
News of Gloria’s failed gamble had spread throughout the industry at this point, so Reuben naturally learned about the Martins’ bankruptcy quickly. In this case, how could he still care about Catalina?! He was currently looking for other wealthy individuals to escape this predicament.
The new production Harmony was cast in began its principal photography, and an outdoor scene was arranged for the afternoon. Harmony appeared in the crowd wearing a police uniform, blending in seamlessly. Her unique protagonist’s aura was accurately captured by the camera.
“Cut! Good.” The director gave a satisfied thumbs up. The male lead was also a serious and talented actor who performed exceptionally well. He was a male lead with an excellent personal image named Ryder Lyfeld.
After Harmony finished the first scene, the director arranged the second scene. It involved her chasing a drug dealer on the street and then meeting the male lead.
Harmony’s phone rang. Sera glanced at the name and immediately answered. “Hello, Mr. Weiss.”
“Where are you guys?”
“We’re on set. Are you coming over?”
“I just finished my work. I thought I’d pay a visit,” Ezekiel said. As soon as he finished his work, the first person he thought of was Harmony.
“Alright, I’ll text you the address,” Sera replied, sending the address through Harmony’s phone. She also unintentionally saw their chat. She truly envied and blessed Harmony for meeting a man who loved her so much.
Half an hour later, around 4 p.m., Ezekiel arrived. Under the sunlight, the set created a bustling street scene, and Harmony, in her police uniform, was quite eye-catching.
Sera welcomed Ezekiel, who stood on this side of the camera. Harmony also coincidentally turned around and saw him. She flashed a radiant and sweet smile, and Ezekiel’s breath paused slightly. This girl is also quite charming in a uniform, he thought.
Just then, the director received a call. After the call, he walked up to Harmony and said, “Harmony, we might not be able to shoot this scene anymore today. The sports car we borrowed can’t come.”
