Matthew smiled lightly without further explanation.
On the other side, Veronica looked at the crew already distributing lunchboxes and immediately said to Matthew, "The crew is distributing lunch now. I gotta get going. Bye."
"You—" Beep, beep, beep…
He wanted to ask her if she was used to eating lunchboxes, but before he could ask, she hung up on him.
He held the phone as a hint of gloominess and heartache painted across his face.
He could imagine what the crew's lunchboxes were like.
Imagining how Veronica had to adapt to everything in the crew, he felt guilty.
Knock, knock!
Miguel knocked on the office door and entered the room.
"What are you daydreaming about?" He held a cigarette in his hand as he wore a new pair of gold-rimmed glasses. A faint bruise could be seen at the corners of his mouth.
Matthew glanced at him and leaned back in his chair without moving.
"Thinking about your wife?" Miguel could read his friend's mind and comforted him, "She can take care of herself even though she's at the set. If you care less about her now and keep your distance, Flavian will think you are really divorced.
"Most importantly, you still haven't figured out Flavian's true intentions." Miguel sat on the edge of the desk and sighed.
Instead of replying to his statement, Matthew questioned, "Why are you here?"
"After that day, Eleanor hasn't come to work anymore. She doesn't answer my calls or reply to my messages, so I came to ask you what's going on." Miguel flicked his cigarette between his fingers. "I did make a mistake that day."
He tilted his head, a touch of helplessness evident on his gentle face. "Should I apologize to her? Actually, I think Hadley Winson from Smokey Corporation is pretty good for her. After all, he is one of the top ten young elites in our city, so he should be a good match for Eleanor."
