Now Sybil was the darling of a talent agency, landing the role of the second lead in her very first show. Why on earth would she even notice someone as invisible as the air? Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Avery. He was a mafor the spotlight no matter where he went. Right now, every paparazzo and fan lurking around probably had their cameras trained on this spot.
Suddenly, she stood up from her chair and bowed to Sybil.
"I'm so sorry for the slip-up on the talk show last tthat upset you. If you need to let off steam, please aim somewhere other than my face. After all, I've got to make a living with this mug, | beg you!" Sybil was taken aback, never expecting Bonnie to pull something like this.
"What are you babbling about? | was just too into the scene. Don't you dare try to frme?" The director was internally face-palming. All these queens, always overacting.
With Avery present, he couldn't very well lose his temper. He decided to send them off to rest and called in others to shoot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBonnie found an icepack for her face and silently retreated to a corner, tears streaming down unchecked. She seemed to be the picture of misery, pitiful and forlorn.
Avery stole a glance at her, and he couldn't deny the twinge of compassion he felt.
After all, she was his first girlfriend, and they had shared many happy times.
He pulled out a tissue, intending to walk over and hand it to her. But Leah quickly intercepted, "Don't even think about it. I'll go." The paparazzi from all over the stuhad converged, eager for a juicy scoop. If he went over there, he'd be plastered all over the trending topics for days.
Leah hurried over to Bonnie, handed her the tissue without a word, and left just as quickly.
By then, Avery had already left the set. It was no place to linger. But he knew he'd be all over the news again tomorrow.
Such a juicy story was irresistible to the gossip mongers. Even if the two of them merely exchanged looks from ten meters apart, the tabloids would spin it into a saga of tortured romance.
By that afternoon, the gossip columns were ablaze.
“Bonnie's face swollen after on-set revenge by Sybil.” “Avery visits the set, pained by the sight of his ex-girlfriend.” “Could Avery and Bonnie rekindle their romance?” “Avery sends an assistant to comfort Bonnie with tissue.” They were overwhelmed by gossips.
The top ten trending topics were all about Avery and Bonnie.
The public was in an uproar.
[I thought the show was over, but it looks like there's a sequel.] [Avery still has feelings for Bonnie, doesn't he? She was his first love.] [Avery's always been about loyalty. Others may be heartless, but he's honorable.] [Sybil's just disgusting. Get her off the set already. I'm not watching if she's in it.] [Why is this nobody acting up? No matter what, you can't take personal revenge during a shoot.] [Bonnie's got a real good temper. If it were me, | couldn't have held back but slapped her right back.] Discussions like these were reaped without a stop.

The biggest beneficiary of this whole mess was Bonnie. In just one afternoon, her following skyrocketed by two million, and she managed to kick her nemesis, Sybil, down a peg.
Sybil's agent rushed to clarify that Sybil was just too immersed in her role, that there was no personal vendetta between Sybil and Bonnie, and even insinuated that Bonnie was stirring up for attention.
Bonnie's agent immediately posted the shooting video with the caption "Slap once might be an accident, but to slap again? If that's not intentional, what is?" With her rising popularity, the agency was quick to strike while the iron was hot and give her a push.
Netizens rallied behind Bonnie and turned on Sybil, telling Sybil to get out of the entertainment industry.
Leah poured two cups of coffee, handing one to Avery.
"You just wanted to give Bonnie a leg up by sending her that tissue, right? A simple gesture that sends the paparazzi into overdrive." Avery didn't respond, just murmured, "With her talent, if she wasn't my ex, she would've been a star by now."
