With that, Luke was suddenly burning with indignation and dialed Shaun's number. As soon as Shaun answered, Luke said, "You ever barge into my dressing room again, old man, I'm dumping you as my manager.""What?" Shaun was clearly taken aback. "When did I ever...?" He got no further before the line went dead. "Hello? Hello?" After several futile attempts to reconnect, Shaun realized he had been cut off. "Mysterious as always." He tucked away his phone, shrugging off the incident. The longstanding animosity between him and Luke was something he had grown used to.Ever since the day Wyneth had "held Luke hostage" with her threat, and every time he laid eyes on her, his expression darkened even more. Nevertheless, he stopped singling her out. Whenever he saw her, he would stride past her without a sideways glance. The first few times were no big deal, but as the instances increased, rumors started to circulate in the production crew that Luke was displeased with the female lead."Why i
[Can the backdoor entry skedaddle back to her own garbage shows, please? She better not tarnish our man's hard work he puts into filming all year round.][Seriously, is she clueless? He's giving her the cold shoulder and she doesn't even realize it? Do us all a favor and quit. We can crowdfund another gig for you, just don't mess with our idol, okay?][What I'm really itching to know is, who's the sugar daddy. He's got his fingers in Luke's pie too? Now that's a head-scratcher.][Well, to be fair, even with a sugar daddy, it's understandable. Check out how gorgeous she is! If I had the money, I'd want to keep her around, too.]Wyneth skimmed through the top comments before searching her own name on the platform—a new trick she had learned recently to keep tabs on what was happening in her world. What she found was a whirlwind of rumors about Luke's disdain for her and his grim-faced interactions on set. She sighed, mentally acknowledging, 'This industry is indeed a complex beast.'
"L-Luke, there's something I think you should know about.""What is it?" Luke asked, thumbing through his script."It's about... the rumors that you're upset on the set."Hearing this, Luke paused. "Oh?""Apparently, word got out to the public. It's trending on Facebook. People are saying you're dissatisfied with Wyneth." The assistant showed Luke his phone, his furrowed brows deepening as he scrolled. "I thought I should bring it up since this could potentially harm your reputation, so...""What about her?"The assistant blinked. "Pardon?""What's happening with her Facebook?"Only then did the assistant realize that Luke was asking about Wyneth's Facebook. "I'm not quite sure about her situation." After all, he was only Luke's assistant; when news like this broke, his first thought was how it could impact Luke's image, not someone else's.Luke was silent for a moment, before saying, "You can go."After his assistant left, Luke pulled out his own phone and logged onto Facebo
Shaun gaped at him, astonishment widening his eyes as his mind grappled with what he had just heard. 'Did I just mishear? There's no way I just heard Luke say that Wyneth caught him in the midst of his post-shower routine. Surely, not that intimate, exposed moment?' The shock was swiftly replaced by exhilaration, causing Shaun to bolt upright from his seat as though he had been jolted by an electric current. "Then what?" he urged eagerly.Luke narrowed his eyes, the palpable danger in his gaze evident. "What do you mean 'then what?'"Shaun was practically quivering with anticipation. "What did she see then?"Luke was rendered speechless."Did she see you—"Before Shaun could complete his scandalous thought, he was promptly cut off by Luke's dark glare. "Keep your disgusting thoughts to yourself.""What's disgusting about it? You're the one who brought it up." Shaun pouted, but his eyes began to twinkle mischievously. "You weren't... actually naked, were you?"Luke became even mo
He paused for a moment, then asked, "What exactly are you doing?"Luke responded, a touch of impatience in his tone. "You asked how I was going to solve it, right? Well, here's my solution."Without further ado, he followed Wyneth's Facebook account.Shaun was taken aback. "This is your idea of a solution? That simple?"Luke pocketed his phone, his gaze icy. "Or what?"Shaun stood still for a moment, processing this before a realization dawned on him. 'Indeed, everyone currently believes Luke is disgruntled with Wyneth, leading to all sorts of speculations about her. But if Luke willingly follows her, isn't it a clear slap to the faces of these gossip mongers? A silent proclamation that they're on good terms?' He then said, "Well done, Luke, swift thinking. This solution is brilliant and doesn't even require PR."Seeing the matter resolved, Luke cast him a glance. "You can leave now.""Hold on," Shaun said, trying to keep the conversation going. "I don't get to see you often. Ca
Actually, there was no real need for a crisis PR. All Luke had to do, as long as he did not genuinely dislike her, was give her a follow. Most importantly, Luke had followed her without Wyneth having followed him first. This simple act was proof enough.Wyneth refreshed her page once more, and the tenor of the comments had shifted again.[Why hasn't she followed him back yet? Hurry up and do it!][Luke's first female star follow... she should return the gesture, right?][If she doesn't, she might get dragged through the trending hot topics again, and it won't be in the same light as today.]Exiting the comments section, Wyneth found Luke's profile and clicked to follow him back.[Oh my god, she followed back! Who would've thought I'd be here monitoring a female star's Facebook to see if she follows Luke back? The universe truly works in mysterious ways.][I feel you!]Meanwhile, someone who had been anxiously waiting for the follow back finally relaxed upon seeing it. He set do
First, they tagged Wyneth, following up with a string of hideously goofy selfies accompanied by a caption that read, [Goddess, please accept our apologies.]Wyneth was speechless. Seeing these horrendous selfies, she could not help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. She wondered, 'Is this an apology or a jump scare?'Since it was early, many netizens were still asleep, and the comments were sparse. The group wanted to chat further with Wyneth, but seeing a stern-faced man approaching from behind her, they quickly turned and ran. "We'll chat later. We need to go train now." They made a swift exit.Without turning, Wyneth knew who was coming up behind her. She raised an eyebrow, not wanting to turn around, and continued walking forward. She had barely taken two steps when she felt a hand clutching her collar, pulling her back. Looking up, she met Luke's somber handsome face."Yesterday..."Wyneth blinked. "What about yesterday?"The young lady standing before him had a fair com
[Really? Why is Luke always scowling? Do you have pictures or a video as proof? Just on someone else's word, you all believe it?][As we all know, Luke isn't one for showing much expression. Perhaps something's been weighing on his mind these past few days, hence the lack of a smile.][Honestly, I think the guys on the set can be a bit gossipy, but that's not an insult. They apologized after all, and they were just discussing it among themselves. Looking at Facebook and their interactions, they seem to get along pretty well. I think the real villain here is the one spreading the rumors.][Exactly. Let's not get carried away. Luke has followed Wyneth, and she has followed him back. Let's drop this issue.]The rational ones were in the majority. Since there was no real conflict between the main characters, and considering Wyneth hardly had any fans, the issue died down.After training with everyone for a few days, Wyneth officially joined the shooting. Her screen time was not much,
