A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Bring it on. I won't give in." Julia smirked, a gleam of determination dancing in her eyes.

Consuela arrived just in time to see Jean leave the room, briefly exchanging glances with one another. When Consuela closed the door behind her, she widened her eyes at Julia. "What happened? Did she give you a hard time?"

"No, she didn't." Julia breathed in and gave Consuela a bitter smile. "I think you should take a look at the script."

As Consuela skimmed through it, her frown deepened, mirroring Julia's reaction from earlier.

What does she mean? Is she mocking you?" There was anger laced in Consuela's voice when she spoke. "Jean has done so many bad things, and she even wrote such a novel to defame you. This is ridiculous!"

"Jean's novel is so popular now, and we can do nothing about it," Julia said with a bitter smile.

"It's all my fault. If only I read the script earlier," Consuela distressingly said. She felt sorry for her friend.

Julia casually glanced at her with a puzzled expression. "What the hell are you talking about? What does it have to do with you?"

Julia calmly patted Consuela on her shoulder and reassured her, "I'm fine. Don't worry, I know how to play well."

"But..." Consuela looked at the script, still annoyed at the storyline.

"Julia, the director is calling you." A voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Coming," Julia replied in a hurry. "Well, I have to go now. It's my first day of filming and I want to do my best."
