Guinevere walked toward her, looking stunning and exquisite as usual, no different from how she
usually was.
But Stella had an inexplicable feeling that something was off.
Guinevere stood before her and said, “We’re almost done filming the movie, and there’s something I’ve
been wanting to say to you. If I’ve offended you in any way previously, I’m very sorry.”
With that, everyone on set fell silent.
No one expected the reason for Guinevere to call out for Stella to apologize.
Almost everyone broke out in cold sweat for Ella, thinking that Guinevere was creating trouble for her.
Even her manager was ready to step forward to stop her. None of them expected Guinevere to
apologize to Ella.
… Is she all right?
Since when did the arrogant and bossy Guinevere bow down to anyone?
What in the world was going on?
A glint flashed past Stella’s eyes as she nodded calmly. “I didn’t take it to heart, what’s more, you didn’t
really
offend me anyway. I don’t know what you are apologizing for.”
Guinevere’s eyes turned dark, but she covered it up with a chuckle. “It’s good that you weren’t
offended. I was still worried that there might be a misunderstanding between the both of us. After all,
the conflict between our characters in the movie is rather significant . I’m afraid we get so immersed in
our roles that we might bring that relationship from reel to real life.”
She nuanced her words very carefully by shifting the blame onto their professionalism. “Whatever it is, I
should still apologize to you,” Guinevere leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “After all, I’ve been
rather busy during this period, and need to bother you to serve Weston on my behalf. It’s saved me
quite some time and energy. In fact, I might have to spend some money hiring a nanny from
elsewhere.”
Stella knew that her apology was but an act put on for others to see. She smiled back at Guinevere and
said, “ There’s no need for that. He’s very generous in compensating me, too. I didn’t want to do such
tedious work to begin with, but he’s the one who refused to let me go.”
Guinevere gritted her teeth, but her smile remained plastered on her face. “As long as you don’t mind.”
Guinevere had just stepped away when Angelina walked
toward Stella and exclaimed in disbelief, “Ella, what just happened? Was I hallucinating or did she
actually apologize to you?”
Stella remained composed, guessing that Guinevere’s apology was probably Weston’s doing.
However, she really didn’t care for such an unwilling, insincere apology.
She didn’t want to dwell on this topic any further, and instead asked Angelina, “You’re done filming your
scenes?”
“Almost done,” she was not done with talking about Guinevere. “Don’t you find it strange? That’s
Guinevere we’re talking about, and she actually apologized to you! The sun’s rising from the west!”
Everyone else on set was discussing what Guinevere had just done.
“Has Guinevere really changed in character recently?”
“Seems so. She treats the crew members much better nowadays, and she even took the initiative to
apologize to Ella just now…”
“For all you know, it’s really because she just gave birth and has post partum depression, that’s why.”
“We should sympathize more with someone who just gave birth…”
“Yeah, it’s not easy going through labor and taking care of a baby…”
In the washroom.
Stella removed her make-up and overheard everyone talking about Guinevere.
Just a simple apology was enough to turn the tables on public opinion about her.
For people like them who were used to being in high positions, bowing down once was like a huge
compromise for them.
She shut her eyes, her face paling.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten how Guinevere treated her previously.
Indeed, such things had a time limit; no one would remember the injustice you faced except for
yourself.
