Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

The actors resting nearby were talking in a normal pitch, but Veronica could clearly hear their conversation.

She glanced sideways and caught a fleeting look of satisfaction on Eviette's face, immediately discovering her hypocrisy.

"Alright."

Veronica nodded and agreed with Eviette.

As soon as she spoke, Eviette grabbed her hand. "You're such a kind person."

Veronica found her overly enthusiastic and even the act of holding her hand repulsive.

She forced a stiff smile and calmly withdrew her hand, continuing to read the script.

"I won't be disturbing you anymore. We'll leave together at half past six." With that, Eviette got up and left.

Veronica had been reading the script all along, but her mind was not focused on it. It was only after Eviette had walked away that she turned her head and stared meaningfully at the latter's back.

What exactly is she up to?

Among the large crew, almost everyone disliked Veronica, except for Melvin, who treated her as a friend.

Veronica tilted her head and looked at him. "You're the weird one here. Everyone in the crew hates me, so why are you friendly to me?"

"People are easily deceived by appearances. If that car accident hadn't happened, I would probably dislike you just like everyone else," Melvin answered with a slight smile on his lips.

He had fair skin, long brows, single eyelids with phoenix eyes, a straight and slightly upturned nose, and lips of moderate thickness. He was considered a handsome and charming young man that resembled a Hollywood actor. The more one looked at him, the more one would admire him.

"Is that so?" Veronica smiled and dismissed it, continuing to read the script.

Melvin clicked his tongue. "You're just a supporting role in the drama. You don't have to take it so seriously. In scenes with Eviette, not only Mia but even Camden would have to do multiple retakes, so you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Do you dare to say that in Camden's face?" Veronica asked curiously.

Melvin shook his head fervently. "Judging by his explosive temper, I'm afraid he'll fire me. If I lose this job, I won't have money to pay for my girlfriend's medical—"
