"It’s about me?"
Lily Sterling jumped, instinctively getting up from the sofa. She looked at Jessica Reynolds and pressed, "What happened, Jessica?"
Jessica crossed her arms and pursed her lips. "I didn’t catch all of it. It seems Andrew Sutton overheard someone bad-mouthing you. He probably couldn’t hold back and stood up for you!"
Jessica had a playful look on her face. After all, she’d been around the block; how could she not see the hidden implications here?
’Andrew Sutton is a top trending actor. He’s usually so careful about his words and actions. Now he’s willing to get into a fight with someone for Lily Sterling. Isn’t it obvious he likes her?’
Lily Sterling didn’t have time to think it over. She grabbed Yuna and ran out. Seeing this, Jessica smiled and called out after them, "They’re at Soundstage Six on the west side."
When Lily Sterling arrived, the scene wasn’t chaotic. It seemed the "excitement" was already over.
"Lily? What are you doing here?"
Andrew Sutton noticed Lily Sterling right away and immediately went over to urge her, "Your next scene isn’t for a while. Go back and wait."
’His reaction was quite strange. Normally when people ran into each other on set, no one would ever shoo them away. In his haste, Andrew Sutton had accidentally revealed that he didn’t want Lily Sterling here.’
"Jessica told me you got into a conflict with someone?"
Lily Sterling asked, looking at him with a very serious expression, "Because of me?"
Andrew Sutton choked on his words and shook his head. "No, it’s just..."
"You’re a terrible liar." Lily Sterling cut off Andrew Sutton’s feeble defense, staring into his eyes. "You haven’t even started talking, and your face is already red."
Drake, who was standing to the side, sighed. He looked at Andrew Sutton and said, "Lily’s right, when have you ever been able to lie? Just tell the truth. So many people saw it, you think you can hide it?"
Andrew Sutton turned and shot Drake a glare. Drake just pursed his lips helplessly and looked away.
"So what was it really about?"
Seeing this, Andrew Sutton finally spoke, albeit hesitantly. "It’s just... I overheard some people talking about you behind your back. They weren’t saying nice things."
Hearing this, Yuna wrinkled her nose in anger. "Our Lily is always so kind to everyone. What could they possibly have to say about her?"
"Forget it, Lily. I’m not going to say it. I don’t want to talk about it," Andrew Sutton said.
Lily Sterling looked at Andrew Sutton, feeling both touched and a little annoyed at his impulsiveness.
"Thank you," Lily Sterling said, feeling a bit apologetic. He had, after all, been trying to defend her honor. But then she added, "Don’t be so reckless next time. If this blows up, it will have a huge impact on you. I don’t care about these rumors and gossip."
"But I ca—"
re.
Andrew Sutton stopped himself, the words almost tumbling out.
"You’ve been in the industry for so much longer than me. You should be better at handling this kind of thing."
’The entertainment industry has no shortage of rumors. Whether you’re famous, washed-up, or infamous, no matter what tier of celebrity you are, you’re bound to have some gossip and scandals attached to your name. If you cared about all of it, you’d never have time to think about anything else.’
’Rumors die with the wise, but not with the foolish.’
’Just doing their own thing was hard enough.’
Andrew Sutton also knew he had been reckless this time. It was mainly because their words were so vile, and they were definitely lies.
