Ninian headed to the restroom when she noticed not everyone was there yet.
The discomfort that she felt finally disappeared when she washed her arms with cold water for three minutes. No one in her family knew that ever since the assault three years ago, she had become particularly sensitive to outsiders touching her, especially men.
Her good upbringing kept her calm on the outside. But deep down, she could feel a wisp of disgust and rejection gradually growing in her heart.
Fortunately, this time it was just an accident, and Paul was a close friend of hers. Her discomfort was not too severe, and she could just barely suppress it after rinsing her arm.
Ninian returned to normalcy again when she headed back to the set.
The shooting went by smoothly.
When it ended, Ninian went to the restroom. But someone blocked her way.
When she looked up, she saw Agnes staring at her with a hint of jealousy and resentment in her gaze. Agnes’ beautiful and elegant face showed a sinister and arrogant expression at the moment.
“Ninian, do you think you can make Everett stand up for you just because you have a pretty face? Do you see how reluctant he was? He took two days off already just so he could avoid you. Are you upset about it?”
Before Ninian could respond, Agnes continued, “Oh, I almost forgot, a shameless person like you won’t feel sad.” She covered her mouth and said, “You’ll only start looking for and seducing your next target with your innocent face. Everett is not around, so you’re targeting Paul. You’re onto him because Paul came from a decent background, aren’t you? You’re disgusting!”
Ninian’s expression darkened.
She grew up in a loving and caring environment, and the people she met were kind and gentle.
To be jealously targeted by a stranger with such intense malice for no reason was an unfamiliar situation for her.
Even so, she was not afraid.
