While talking over the phone, Michael waved goodbye at everyone and silently left. The filming set was still quiet. Everyone could only hear Michael’s voice slowly vanishing as he walked further away. “Oh, right, son, my fan gave me a big panda as a birthday gift. Next time, I’ll bring you and Mommy to visit the panda. What do you think?”

Still engaged in the phone call, he entered his own SUV. A few seconds later, the SUV’s engine revved and it rolled away, disappearing from everyone’s vision.

Sophia remained at the same spot. After she poked Danny beside her, he flashed an embarrassed smile at the rest of the crew. “Thank you everyone for putting in the effort to organize the birthday party for Taylor. He’s really happy and very touched.

Enjoy the food!” Then, to Natasha, he said, “By the way, Miss Mitchell, thank you for the big round panda. Uh, I mean the panda. I thank you and your family on behalf of Taylor’s family of three and his ancestors.”

Thank you and your family… Hearing Danny’s remark, Natasha’s expression further darkened. What did he mean by ‘thanking on behalf of Taylor’s family of three’? Is he reminding me not to be a homewrecker?

Danny and Sophia went into the car and left as well, leaving behind an awkward birthday party and equally awkward crew. The theme of the night’s party was ‘Natasha celebrating Taylor’s birthday’.

Thinking that other gifts were too commonplace, she specifically splurged two million to adopt a panda as a gift for Taylor, going as far as to incorporate her love for Taylor in the naming of the animal.

She had thought that everything was perfect, but now, she was practically slapped in the face by that one phone call. In that instant, she was turned into a clown who was being watched by judgemental eyes.

They were all secretly laughing at her. A young lady of the Mitchell Family has chosen to be a mistress! And she confessed her love to a married man in front of everyone. How shameless! How insolent!

Under everyone’s awkward and meaningful glances, Natasha suddenly covered her face in her hands and dashed away, vanishing before their eyes in her dancer outfit. Olivia felt her scalp crawling as she stared at the direction that Michael had left and looked toward the other direction where Natasha had fled. After coming to a difficult decision, she ran after Natasha.

 

A carefully-planned birthday party ended just like that. Only a group of confused extras and filming crew was left at the filming site with a huge cake.
