Rosa Sullivan’s face was deathly pale, utterly embarrassed to face anyone, as all the eyes around her seed to pierce into her like thorns, making her so ashad and angry that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
And, at a certain mont, she caught a glimpse of Rosie Sullivan, Katherine Collins, and Nora Scott from the corner of her eye.
Nora and Katherine seed okay, but Rosie was blatantly obvious, directly raising her phone to take pictures or videos.
"..."
Rosa was so furious she felt like exploding on the spot.
She lowered her head and hurriedly got into a car with soone.
"How did Rosa Sullivan and Luna Durant end up fighting? It’s not surprising with Luna’s temper, but Rosa Sullivan is the campus belle of the Royal Conservatory, the most promising young artist..."
"Luna Durant is quite ruthless too, those cuts on Rosa Sullivan’s hand... Tsk, no amount of makeup can cover them up, it’ll probably be days before she can film again."
"It’s probably over a man, right? Is it Mr. Langley?"
"Who would’ve thought, Rosa Sullivan fighting over a man."
...
The crowd buzzed with gossip.
Sitting in the car, Rosa glanced at the retreating figures of Nora and the other two, shaking in anger.
She had intended to use Luna Durant’s infatuation with Pedro Langley to incite a rivalry, causing a major fallout between Luna and Nora upon discovering Pedro and Nora together.
Unexpectedly, Nora turned the tables on her.
Pedro invited Rosa to talk about so matters concerning Flora Loughton, which Luna discovered. As soon as Pedro left, Luna pounced on her like a madwoman.
Rosa was speechless in defense.
Besides, she wasn’t adept at crafting lies.
She was unwittingly dragged into an utterly brainless fight by Luna.
Luna Durant...
This ticking bomb, once entangled, would stick to her like glue during their shared filming ti at school.
Rosa clenched her teeth in anger, only regaining so sense when her nails dug into her palm.
*
Even after Rosa left, the matter did not rest.
Rivalries among actresses are common, but fighting and falling into a lake is rare. Both crews were intent on covering it up, yet couldn’t stop people’s curiosity, as it beca inevitable small talk during breaks.
Luna’s arrogant, domineering persona didn’t surprise anyone, but Rosa Sullivan, who was seen as a graceful, talented, untouchable ice queen...
That was certainly sothing to talk about.
By the afternoon, in so staff chat groups, embarrassing photos of Rosa drenched and miserable circulated, prompting various comnts and discussions.
Diana Johnson had few scenes and was in classes all day. She was stunned to learn of all this only after school and imdiately called Rosa Sullivan, only to reach a turned-off phone.
Feeling helpless, Diana turned to find Nora, curiously asking, "Miss Scott, how did Bella get into a fight with Luna Durant?"
"I don’t know."
Nora was lazily redoing her nails due to filming needs, sitting in a chair with her hands left to the stylist. With the cooler evening breeze, feeling sowhat listless, she seed drowsy.
Diana squatted nearby, holding her cheeks, "I can’t believe Miss Sullivan would get into a fight."
"Are you familiar with her?"
"Kind of," Diana said. "My cousin was her classmate, so I got to know her while hanging out with my cousin. She’s incredible at playing the flute, low-key and calm, though appearing quite introverted, she was very patient during lessons. We’re about the sa age, so sotis we’d go out together."
Nora lowered her gaze, nonchalantly responding with an "oh."
Beside her, Rosie held a small fan for Nora, wearing a slightly disgruntled expression but remained silent.
"By the way, do you know Julian Linfield?" Diana asked.
"I know."
"Bella is his top disciple," Diana continued. "I heard Julian wrote a piece for Bella, and there’s a director of a martial arts film negotiating with Bella to use it as a the. Julian is hard to get, so they’re hoping Bella can perform it."
Nora: "..." That unfaithful old coot Julian Linfield.
Does Rosa Sullivan look better than her or what?!
Next to her, Rosie let out a soft "tch."
Nora glanced at Rosie’s frowning, annoyed expression and temporarily withheld further complaints about Julian.
Perhaps there’s more to the story.
"They say artists, especially masters, are quite proud. For Julian to value Bella so much, there must be sothing extraordinary about her." Diana muttered to herself.
Rosie’s disdain was almost palpable.
Diana added, "So, for her to fight with Luna Durant... it’s just unbelievable."
"Maybe her only unusual trait is ’faking being high and mighty’." Rosie couldn’t bear it anymore and outrightly snapped.
Diana, absorbed in praising Rosa, was startled by Rosie’s untily comnt, raising her eyes in surprise, suspiciously staring at Rosie.
Nora changed her hand for the stylist, not even glancing up.
— She also was about to lose her cool.
Diana remained amicable, not getting angry with Rosie, only speaking naively, "Rosie Sullivan, do you have so misunderstanding about Bella Sullivan?"
Rosie was almost exasperated by her.
"Don’t say I didn’t warn you," Rosie took a breath and said irritably, "Get too close to her, and she could backstab you without you even knowing."
If it weren’t for Diana being underage and generally kind-hearted, Rosie wouldn’t have bothered saying more.
Still, it seed in vain.
Diana didn’t take it to heart, rely conjecturing that Rosie and Rosa had so grudge, and believed Rosie’s disdain arose from her grudge against Rosa.
Diana sighed inwardly: Clearly, even the most excellent people can’t be liked by everyone.
Seeing Diana’s expression, Rosie realized she’d wasted her breath, shook her head, and decided to say no more.
Targeted by Rosie, Diana appropriately toned it down, refraining from overly praising Rosa behind her back, and soon left tactfully.
Over half an hour later, with the manicure done and night having fallen, the stylist left.
Admiring her beautiful nails, Nora appeared quite satisfied. Once alone, she suddenly turned to ask Rosie, "Do you know about the thing between Rosa Sullivan and Julian Linfield?"
