Sofia experienced excruciating pain, as if her heart and soul were being torn apart. While listening to Keysha's words, she couldn't help but inwardly sneer, despite feeling helpless. Life had to move forward.
Skyler's actions had pushed her to the brink of despair, but Keysha had a valid point... Skyler didn't have a heart of stone. Sofia believed that if she was sincere and kind enough, she could surely change his mind.
...
On the eighth day of the New Year, Veronica returned to the film crew. As soon as she arrived, she bumped into Melvin.
"It's been a while, how have you been?" She approached Melvin, her tone particularly gentle.
Veronica believed that the death of Melvin's girlfriend, Selene, had deeply affected him, which explained why he hadn't been responding to her messages lately.
Melvin, wearing a gray casual jacket, forced a smile when he saw Veronica. "Happy New Year. I'm sorry for not replying to your messages recently."
"I understand." Veronica nodded. "My condolences, but life must go on. You're stronger than I thought."
"We always have to look ahead." Melvin shrugged, taking a deep breath. "For Selene, death is a release."
"That's a positive way to look at it." Veronica sighed, then said, "Work hard, and I'll treat you to sushi after work tonight."
"Okay, sounds good." He nodded.
Veronica pointed towards the makeup room. "I'm going there." After saying that, she headed towards the makeup room.
