The Despised Luna's Comeback

Chapter 701 No Acting Skills

"So, how are things going on set? I thought you were almost done filming," I asked. Naomi gave a small nod. "Yeah, the wrap party's right around the corner. We've only got two more scenes to shoot, and we'll be finished the day after tomorrow." I smiled and said, "Well, I'll still need your help a little longer. Even after shooting ends, you and Jasper will have to team up for a few promotional events." Even though Naomi was dating someone now, plenty of people still rooted for her and Jasper to be together. Because of that, they had to keep the act going to hold on to their fanbase—plus, the new show the company was pushing needed extra attention. Naomi understood how things worked in showbiz and agreed without saying a word. I glanced around, trying to spot Caden, but instead noticed Jessica standing beside him. She had a glass of champagne in her hand and was smiling brightly as she spoke to him, though I couldn't make out what they were talking about. Caden was facing away from me, so I had no way of knowing what kind of look he had on his face. With a chilly smile, I stood up, brushing down my skirt as I headed toward them. "Don't mind me," I said sharply. Naomi's POV: I looked over at Samuel and asked, "Any idea who that female werewolf is?" The moment I saw her, I could tell she had feelings for Caden. Still, she had some nerve—thinking she could go after the same guy as Rosaline. "That's Jessica—the Stars Pack's heiress. She's known for being a genius at witch's stone betting," Samuel said offhandedly while absentmindedly toying with my fingers. "Witch's stone betting?" I asked, raising an eyebrow in interest. "Yep," Samuel said. "The Stars Pack built their whole empire on it, and Jessica's seen as their most gifted talent in years." "Seriously? That's pretty amazing," I murmured, genuinely impressed. Still, something about Jessica struck a chord—like I'd seen her somewhere before. But I was sure we'd never met. Maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me. Rosaline's POV:Just as I started walking toward Caden and Jessica, a young werewolf suddenly stepped in front of me, blocking my path. I scowled slightly and glanced up at him. "You're Ms. Sinclair, right?" he asked. His tone was calm, but there was a faint knowing smile in his eyes. "And you are ... " I asked, trying to place his face, but I came up blank. He gave me a polite grin, pulled a card from his inside pocket, and offered it to me. "Ms. Sinclair, my name's Matthew Hoover. I'm with Neo Media." I took the card out of politeness, glanced over the details, and said, "Alright, Mr. Hoover—what's this about?" There was a flicker of hesitation in his face before he spoke. "I just wanted to treat you to a meal, Ms. Sinclair." "A meal?" I asked, narrowing my gaze. "Why do you want to treat me to a meal?" He paused for a moment before saying, "I've looked up to you for a long time, Ms. Sinclair. I've always hoped for a chance to meet you." "I'll take your card," I replied calmly. "But I don't think a meal is necessary. Now that I know who you are, that's enough," I said plainly, and not interested in getting involved. But Matthew moved fast, once again cutting me off and standing in my way. "Ms. Sinclair, please—having a meal with you would be an honor. I really do admire you," he said. There was a hint of urgency in his voice that instantly raised red flags. It felt like he had another reason for approaching me. I met his gaze and asked, "Is having a meal with me really that important to you?" "Of course," Matthew said quickly, nodding eagerly. "It would be a great honor to get to know you." "Well then," I said slowly after thinking it over, "I'll call you when I have time. If I'm free, you can treat me to a meal." But Matthew's smile faded slightly. "Why wait? How about now, Ms. Sinclair?" I let out a short laugh. "Are you seriously trying to keep me here on purpose?" That clearly rattled him. His eyes twitched for a split second before he quickly pulled himself together. "I'm not sure what you're implying, Ms. Sinclair." I folded my arms and gave him a sharp look. "You do know I run an entertainment company, don't you?" He looked genuinely puzzled as if my words had completely thrown him off. "I've seen many actors, but you have no acting skills at all," I said with a slight grin. Matthew's face froze, his smile vanishing. I didn't waste another second on him and simply stepped around him, making my way straight toward Caden.
