At least, her beauty was less infuriating now."I'll take care of the clean-up today." Derek began gathering the dishes. It was not a lot, and Wyneth seemed exhausted, so she simply nodded in agreement.Seeing Wyneth's worn-out state, Finn decided to check in on her. "Tired, huh? Want to take a nap?"Wyneth did feel a wave of fatigue wash over her. But as she glanced around, she could not spot any suitable spots for her to rest."There is..." Giada pointed at a room nearby. "When I lost my way earlier, I stumbled upon it. There's a little bed and a blanket inside, should be good for a rest. Not the cleanest, though."Wyneth looked at Giada with a touch of surprise. 'An illusion? She doesn't seem as hostile now?' She replied, "I'll take a look." Wyneth got up and walked toward the room Giada had pointed out. Upon opening the door, she found a small bed and blanket, likely a resting spot for the workers. It was more than just unclean; it was downright filthy. But then again, she was

By afternoon, Giada had joined the rest in the toil of the day. After messing up in the morning, she would have no chance of redeeming herself if she dared to slack off in the afternoon. By the time they returned in the evening, she was dog-tired, collapsing on the oxcart like a spent hound.Finn, as usual, was using the rechargeable fan to cool Wyneth down."You can stop," Wyneth abruptly said."Huh?""The wind is picking up." Wyneth leaned back, her gaze fixed on the distant sunset.Following her gaze, Finn took in the fiery sunset. The sun was nearly swallowed by the horizon, and at last, a breeze began to sweep away the day's relentless heat. In these peaceful fields, the twilight hour was always extraordinarily serene.Wyneth closed her eyes, relishing the cool breeze. Strands of her soft, dark hair danced with the wind, and her face, illuminated by the setting sun, appeared even more tranquil.Finn had always been a stickler for cleanliness. These past few days, enduring t

"I know," Lauren replied.Soon after, Wyneth pulled up the covers and lay down. Staring at the ceiling above, she mused, 'Tomorrow, this filming will end. Time sure flies. I suppose I'm genuinely stepping into this circle now, right?' Just as sleep was about to claim her, she was jolted by Lauren's voice."Wyneth..."Turning toward the sound, Wyneth saw Lauren biting her lower lip, looking at her with a troubled expression."Can I ask you something?"Wyneth rolled to her side to face her. "Shoot."Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Lauren asked, "Why... why didn't you ask me?""Ask what?"Lauren's face twisted even more with uncertainty. "Why I switched teams." After the words tumbled out, she exhaled, as if a weight had been lifted."Why did you switch teams?" Wyneth returned, prompting a slight nod from Lauren. After pondering for a moment, Wyneth chuckled lightly. "Is there a need to ask?"Lauren opened and closed her mouth, words caught in her throat. 'So there's no

When dawn kissed the sky, everyone began to rise, packing their belongings.Lauren's spirits were high as she meticulously folded the sheets that Wyneth had given her, a picture of precise neatness. When Wyneth awoke, Lauren beamed at her. "These sheets, I'll definitely take them with me if I ever get invited to other shows. I'll use them at home too."Wyneth chuckled at the sentiment. "There's no need for that; they're just an ordinary set of sheets.""No! This represents friendship." Lauren carefully stowed them into her luggage with reverent hands. After they exchanged contact information, they finished their packing and ventured out together.This was the final day of the show, a free day, meant for dining and chatting. The meals were prepared by the farm's hosts, Mason and Bella, with the others lending a helping hand. When Wyneth emerged, the hosts were already busying themselves with food preparations, while the rest of the teams were still dusting off their sleep. Wyneth st

In the throes of her dilemma, Giada was torn between joining Finn at his side or settling in to savor the enticingly aromatic braised short ribs. 'The ribs look... utterly divine, but then again, sitting with a top-tier star like Finn will definitely mean more camera time,' she thought. But her feet had a mind of their own, not complying with her calculations. By the time she snapped back to the present, she was already seated right in front of the braised short ribs. A wave of embarrassment washed over her. 'When did I become such a foodie? How mortifying!'"Are you all leaving right after lunch?" Mason's wife, Bella, asked."Yeah, that's the plan. The production crew arranged it. Plus, we've got work lined up this afternoon." As the team leader, Derek was the first to answer. His voice was steady, instilling a sense of calm."So quickly back to work? No time to rest after wrapping up the show?""Well, everything's pre-planned.""Same here," Lauren lamented, cradling her head in

The journey back was as bumpy as ever. The group that had come together for the event had all exchanged contact information. When it came time to follow each other on Facebook, Wyneth politely declined."My Facebook following is still tiny; I wouldn't want to take advantage of yours.""Nah, it doesn't matter if you've got few followers or many," Lauren replied.Henry adjusted his glasses. "You can't possibly have fewer followers than me, right?"Intrigued, Wyneth peered at his screen to find Henry boasting a following of 1 million on Facebook. Her own count was a modest few tens of thousands, an amount amassed after Gigi had found and shared her Facebook account. These followers were mostly admirers of her looks, and they trailed her despite her having no notable work to showcase yet. Her follower base was a precarious one, always on the brink of an unfollow.Henry, thinking he had read the number wrong, asked, "Is that over 300,000?"From his side, Derek leaned in for a look, fe

Wyneth had no words, thinking to herself, 'Alright, perhaps my expectations for him were too lofty in the first place.'"By the way, the director of Cessation has asked for you to do makeup this afternoon. With Le Palais moving smoothly in production, you can afford to rest for a couple of days before diving back into the scene.""Okay," Wyneth agreed.Just after lunch, Shaun arrived to lead the way.Upon hearing that Wyneth was here for a makeup test, someone from the Cessation crew responded, "We'll have a slot for you in about half an hour."'Half an hour?' Shaun, unphased, led Wyneth elsewhere. "Come on, let's head over to Luke's."Recalling the icy gaze Luke had fixed on her, Wyneth pursed her lips. "Maybe I should head back first; it's just next door, after all.""Why? It takes you 15 minutes to walk back and another fifteen to come here. What's the point?" Shaun retorted, leaving Wyneth wordless. He continued, "Luke is currently filming, so his dressing room is empty. Let

Almost simultaneously, Wyneth awkwardly averted her face as Luke pivoted away in embarrassment. Immediately following, Wyneth heard Luke's cold voice seethe. "What are you doing here?"Rubbing her forehead, Wyneth replied, "Shaun brought me here.""Him, again!"In the ensuing silence, Wyneth said, "Shall I step out for a while?"He did not respond, implicitly accepting her suggestion. Thus, Wyneth rose and exited the room. As the door to the refuge opened, the summer heat washed over her. Wyneth leaned against the wall, waiting. Her phone vibrated—it was a message from Yoyo, a co-star.Yoyo: [Darling, heard you're back from the variety show. Where are you? Went to your hotel and you're nowhere to be found. You haven't arrived, have you?]Recalling that Yoyo might still be waiting at her hotel room door, she sent over her room password.Wyneth: [This is the hotel room password.]Yoyo: [Got it, but I won't go in. I'll see you tonight. I have a scene later. Where are you now?]Wy

"Right, right." Shaun glanced at his watch. "Seems about time too."Luke emerged, his face unreadable. "I'll take you two."Shaun looked at him in surprise. "What's gotten into you today?" He wondered, 'He's offering to take us to the makeup test? He'd never usually do something like this.'Luke's face darkened at his words, his voice frosty. "In that case, it seems unnecessary.""No, no, we need you. We do," Shaun agreed hastily with a grin. "It's best if you're willing to lead. Let's go."Luke stalked off, expression as cold as ever. As he passed Wyneth, he paused and gave her a glance, his gaze far from pleasant."Come on, it's a rare occasion he's being cooperative. Let's not lose him."As Shaun nudged Wyneth forward, she quirked an eyebrow. She was sure Luke's change of heart was not genuine; he simply did not want anyone knowing about what had just transpired and was using this to distract. And sure enough, Shaun had already completely forgotten their previous conversation

A single joke had everyone roaring with laughter, a wave of hilarity sweeping through the room. The shirtless young man's face flamed brighter, hastily diving into a nearby dressing room, chased by more ribbing from the other men."Let this teach you not to strip in public! Learn some decorum, will you?" No response came from the dressing room.Wyneth's female escort snorted softly, murmuring to Wyneth, "Don't mind them. They just love their banter.""Sure." Wyneth, chuckling, nodded her agreement.Although there were actresses on the set, they had sparse screen time, so they typically did not linger around the set when they had no scenes. At that moment, Wyneth was the only actress on set, and an incredibly beautiful one at that. Nick Biden, informed that an actress was coming in to try on makeup for the role of Aurelia, had everything ready first thing in the morning. He had been swamped with other tasks and only just managed to free himself up. When he was told that the actress
