The lovey-dovey couple was reluctant to leave each other.
"Hmm?" Veronica tilted her head and raised her head slightly, meekly demanding a response from Matthew.
In the face of such adorable sight, he couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her cheek. Then, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I can't bear to be without you either. How about not going? That way, I can see you every night and not miss you."
"Nice try!" She chuckled lightly. "I've memorized the script and even took extra classes with a teacher. It would be a waste if I don't go for the shoot. Let's go."
"I'll walk you there." Matthew held her luggage and held her hand, walking towards the car parked in the yard. The red Chevrolet seemed out of place at Pinewoods Villa.
He asked again, "Do you want to change a car?"
"As long as there's a car to drive, why bother changing? Besides, I'm just a supporting role. Do I need to make a big fuss and drive a different car? Forget it, I don't like to stand out," Veronica decisively refused.
Matthew deemed it unbecoming of him if he persuaded her further, so he put the luggage in the trunk.
He turned to look at Veronica again. The morning sun shone on her, casting a golden halo on her, taking her beauty to another level.
He put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her in her black casual outfit. With her hair tied in a ponytail, her simple and clean attire made her look exceptionally elegant and charming. He couldn't help but sigh. "Roni is gorgeous. It makes me feel insecure. What should I do?"
She burst into laughter at his teasing and playfully slapped him on the shoulder. "Stop fooling around. Be serious." With that, she waved her hand and bid goodbye, "I'm leaving, bye."
She quickly got into the car and drove away in a cloud of dust. The whole process was swift and decisive, without any hesitation. Such determination seemed to show no attachment to Matthew.
