In the meantime, in Gu Xinhan’s makeup room…
Gu Xinhan had a kitten in her arms as she spoke to the director. “It’s so adorable! I can’t bear to part with it. Can I play with it for a bit longer?”
“Ha ha! Of course you can play with it a bit more. I’ll get someone to pick it up later.”
“Thank you, Director!” Gu Xinhan replied happily.
“It’s not a big deal. Xinhan, I shall not disturb you any longer. I’ll go check the videos now.”
“Sure!”
The director turned and left the room.
In the makeup room, only Gu Xinhan, her assistant, manager, and makeup artist were left.
The moment the director shut the door, Gu Xinhan threw the kitten onto the floor. “It’s so dirty! Quick! Get me the disinfectant!”
Her assistant rushed to get her wet tissues and disinfectant.
Gu Xinhan wiped her hands frantically before spraying the disinfectant on her palms. She then scowled at the kitten and kicked it. “How dare you scratch me? Filthy cat!”
Her manager comforted her. “Xinhan, you have to endure this for the sake of work! At least the music video and the promotional campaign will come out nice!”
Gu Xinhan sneered coldly. “If it weren’t for that, do you think I would have been willing to carry these filthy creatures in my arms to take photos? Hurry up and kick that cat out of my room!”
Gu Xinhan had no idea that Lin Shuya had accidentally witnessed the entire scene.
Lin Shuya wasn’t surprised in the least. It was as though she had expected that to happen. She curled her lips as she scoffed under her breath.
She waited for a few minutes before she strode in.
Gu Xinhan’s assistant was holding the kitten with a hand when Lin Shuya walked toward her. She hastily carried the kitten with both arms and said, “Sister Shuya! Are you here to look for Sister Han?”
“Yeah. Where is Sister Han?”
“She is removing her makeup inside.”
Lin Shuya nodded and feigned ignorance.
“Sister Han!”
“Shuya, are you done with your part?” When Gu Xinhan saw Lin Shuya, she put her polite expression back on.
Lin Shuya nodded. “Yeah, I finished the last scene.”
“Were you looking for me?” asked Gu Xinhan.
Lin Shuya took a red gift box out of her bag and placed it on Gu Xinhan’s dressing table. She then said casually, “It’s not much. I heard that you were trying to bid for a necklace at an auction last week…”
At the mention of that necklace, which had been bought by someone else, Gu Xinhan’s face fell.
She had liked that necklace very much and had been thinking about pairing it with her favorite dress. It was a pity that her budget hadn’t been enough to bid for that necklace. In the end, someone else had bought it.
As a result, she had been in low spirits for several days.
But why would Lin Shuya bring this up?
Gu Xinhan was feeling puzzled as she studied the box on the dressing table. Seconds later, realization struck her. It was the necklace she had seen at the auction!
“Why do you have the necklace?” asked Gu Xinhan in surprise.
Lin Shuya chuckled lightly. “I got the necklace from someone else. Coincidentally, I heard that you liked it so I wanted to give it to you, Sister Han.”
