He Cheated. I Rose.
Emily quietly hoped Chloe wouldn't touch any of that fruit. Chloe didn't eat it. She never even looked at Carolyn's so-called "special supply". "Chloe... I'm really surprised you came for me today. This is my first major role in a big production. You visited the set right away, and I'm so touched." "Did I say I was here to see you?" Chloe met Carolyn's gaze with a light smile. Carolyn had a sharp reply ready, but Chloe's words shut her down completely. "Honestly, you've been putting on a one-man show this whole time—totally entertaining yourself. With skills like yours, only getting the second female lead? Such a waste." Robert chimed in, mocking her directly. "The Oscars are totally missing out by not giving you a golden statue." Carolyn's face instantly darkened.How dare this little brat speak to her like that? Was Chloe teaching him this? Carolyn shot a cold look at Chloe. "Chloe, what do you mean by that? If you didn't come to visit me, then who are you here for?" She cast a sharp glance at the stark divide between the VIP area and the regular rest zone, then cranked up her voice, irritation cutting through every word. "You only squeezed your way into the VIP lounge because I pulled strings for you. Now you're saying you didn't even come for me? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Her tone dripped with haughty disdain—like she owned the place. She'd gone out of her way to get Chloe and Robert in, and now they had the nerve to talk back? Total ingrates, the both of them. If she wanted, she could have security throw them out right now. Let's see if they'd still be acting so proud. "The lounge staff brought us here. What business is it of yours?" Robert stepped right up, looking completely unimpressed. "You're such a big shot—you can just snap your fingers and get a VIP lounge, right? Then why aren't you in there?" Carolyn's face flushed bright red. Her number-one fan, Emily, was standing right beside her, and this kid had the nerve to talk back—basically saying she wasn't important enough for the VIP area. "I'm the second female lead in Rebirth. The crew treats everyone equally—no special treatment. The VIP lounge is only for two people: Brian and the female lead, Oralia." Carolyn sniffed. "Even the male lead uses the regular lounge. I don't need the VIP spot. But you two... I arranged it out of kindness, and this is how you repay me? I'm honestly heartbroken." She pulled out her phone like she was about to make a call. "If you don't appreciate my arrangement, I can cancel it right now." She'd already tapped a few numbers. Just then, footsteps and voices came from the set entrance. "Hey guys on the Rebirth set—thank you for all your hard work. Ms. Lewis has prepared welcome gifts for you all. Hope you like them, and wish you smooth filming and happy days." A few staff members made the announcement. Soon, everyone saw what the "gifts" were. The newest LV silk scarves. One, two, three... there were over a hundred of them. One for each person. So many scarves. "Ms. Lewis" was really going all out—every single person got one. This was insane. Did "Ms. Lewis" refer to Carolyn? Several crew members turned to look at her. Over a hundred limited-edition LV scarves—the kind most people couldn't even get on a waiting list. And here was someone just giving them away, one per person. As a welcome gift, this was absolutely over-the-top. Seeing all the admiring looks, Carolyn felt a surge of pride. Henry had really come through—sending such expensive gifts under her name. From now on, she would definitely be the center of attention on set. Everyone would remember her generosity. She smiled to herself. Those nights with Henry hadn't been wasted. When it counted, he delivered. Thinking about how she was about to have her moment, Carolyn's smile grew wider. "If you like them, please take one—no need to be polite, and no pushing. There's enough for everyone." Carolyn addressed the crowd with a warm smile, even urging Emily to help distribute them. LV scarves for everyone—sure, they cost a lot, but there was no need to hold back. As long as they appreciated the gift, she was happy. "Ms. Carolyn Lewis, you're amazing. I've been in this business for years, and this is the most expensive gift I've ever received. Thank you so much." "Ms. Lewis, your welcome gift is so thoughtful. Thank you." "Ms. Lewis is incredible. If you need anything, just let us know. We'll make sure you're well taken care of." "Ms. Lewis really put her heart into this—getting such wonderful gifts for everyone. This is definitely a first in the industry."
