Chapter 284
Tyrone unscrewed the lid of his thermos, pouring a cup of water and handing it over.
Quintessa took it but didn't drink, laughing, "What am I overthinking? That you came over to seduce him? Or that you could even manage that?" Tyrone, visibly annoyed, retorted, "Why all the chatter, all these lines? Aren't you thirsty? Haven't had breakfast, aren't you hungry?" Crystal's eyes were slightly red as she bit her lip, "Quinn, not everyone thinks like you do. I was too rash; I'm sorry. It won't happen again." As Crystal turned to run off, Quintessa clicked her tongue, "There she goes. Does it hurt your heart?"
Tyrone, dragging his chin, asked her, "I made Jonathan throw up. Does that hurt your heart?"
Quintessa, remembering Jonathan's pale, greenish face, couldn't help but pout, "Pfft."
She opened the paper bag Tyrone tossed her way, finding a bag of doughnuts inside, "Bought specially for me?"
"Keep dreaming. They're leftovers."
Manny rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Like you've eaten any."
When Crystal ran back, tears were spotted in her eyes. Someone asked, "Crystal, why are you crying?"
Crystal shook her head, "I'm fine." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Leona, who was closest to Crystal, said, "Bullied by Quintessa, right? I told you not to go over there. That woman doesn't see any of us."
Crystal shook her head, "I went for my brother. I think Quinn isn't like that. Maybe not easy to get along with, but not a bad person. But I didn't expect her to accuse me of flirting with her boyfriend without asking anything."
The other actresses chimed in with their opinions.
"How can she not be bad? I heard Roxanne probably got kicked out because of her. That woman plays dirty."
"Yeah, and accusing you of flirting
with her boyfriend? Who knows how she got her boyfriend. Did you see the scandals online? She even slept with her sister's and her aunt's man. That kind of tramp, what wouldn't she do?"
"I've had it with her for so long. But, alas, she's got the director backing her, even Mr. Winters sees something in her."
Leona gestured for the other actresses to come closer, "The next scene is a group one. With the temperature rising, why don't we..."
Upon hearing it, Crystal looked uneasy, "I don't think that's a good idea. It's so hot at noon; someone could get heatstroke."
"What's wrong with that? It's just a
little punishment, to take her downt mene bullied you after all. Trust
peg.
me, we'll all be in it together
Cynthia, sitting a bit away with her script, frowned upon hearing their conversation, and then glanced at Quintessa.
After a brief rest, the director called

Let's get this
Wanext scene. Tyrone said, "It's el.next."
Quintessa smiled, "Got it. So caring."
"Please, as if I cared."
Quintessa reached out, playfully touching Tyrone's face, whispering in his ear, "Since you care so much, tonight I'll allow you into my chambers."
Watching Quintessa walk away, Tyrone clenched his teeth. Into her chambers, how dared she suggesting such a thing.
Words spoken, actions taken, let's see if she dared to back out tonight.
