Chapter 143

Pearls

The set of Shades of Love was buzzing with activity—it was the final day of filming, and everyone was working with exits enthusiasm Crew members moved with purpose, adjusting lights and cameras, while the actors prepared for their scenes Rose and Lily were in the makeup room, getting their final touch–ups, while Leon the film’s male lead, sat nearby, practicing his lines.

Once her makeup was done. Lily returned to her seat next to Mix, her script in hand. She was deeply focused, reading through her lines, when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

Surprise, surprise!” a familiar voice chirped from behind her

Laly turned her head, and a warm simile spread across her face when she saw Mira standing there. “Mira, shouldn’t you be saying that to your boyfriend first?” Lily teased, raising an eyebrow “This is your first time visiting our set, and if you don’t greet him first, I’m sure he’s going to be jealous of me.”

Lily giggled, and Mira laughed as she took the seat beside her. Casting a glance toward Leon, who was still engrossed in rehearsing his lines and oblivious to her presence. Mira shrugged playfully “If he gets jealous, then so be it,” she said with a mischievous chuckle.

Both Lily and Mia burst into laughter. Over the past few weeks, Lily and Mira had grown quite close. Their frequent meetings to discuss their upcoming fashion boutique had blossomed into a genuine friendship. Ever since Mira and Leon had learned about Lily’s secret marriage to Ethan, they had become a trusted part of her inner circle, vowing to keep her personal life away from the prying eyes of the media.

Meanwhile, Leon glanced up from his script and finally noticed his fiancée chatting happily with Lily playful pout formed on his lips as he walked over to them, crossing his arms like an upset child.

“So, it seems my darling doesn’t love me anymore,” he declared dramatically, puffing out his cheeks in -mock offense.

Mira, clearly amused, glanced at him briefly before turning back to Lily, completely ignoring his antics, “Baby” Leon continued, his tone even more exaggerated, “have you finally realized you don’t care about me anymore? How could you do this to me? What am I supposed to do now? How will I survive without your love?”

Mira rolled her eyes. “You’re such a drama king,” she said with a smirk. Turning to Lily, she added, “Let’s just ignore him.”

But Leon wasn’t ready to give up. “Wait, wait! Tell me, who is this rival of mine? Who’s bold enough to steal your attention away from me? Who dares to come between us?”
