Tyrone was scowling, trailing behind Quintessa like a dark cloud.
Whenever Quintessa was on set, he'd plop down in her designated resting spot, with his eyes glued to the set.
The sight of the fruit platter Manny had prepared for Quintessa instantly reminded him of that photo—Snow feeding her fruit.
After a scene, Quintessa came off set for a break, only to find Tyrone crunching away on her fruit salad; his gaze was locked on her as if he were biting into her flesh instead, which sent shivers down her spine.
The crew seemed to have sensed the tension, as not a soul dared to approach. Manny hurriedly fetched a chair for Quintessa, and as she sat, she asked, “Why are you still here? Did you come just to watch me act?”
Tyrone took a bite of an apple, “Yeah, I'm here to inspect the workplace, and to see how my new employee’s acting chops are. Why don’t we have any dragon fruit today?”
Quintessa had her mouth twitched, ignoring his last remark, “New employee? Who’s your new employee?”
Violet was pale as a ghost on the side, knowing the truth was about to come out. Would Quinn kill her?
With a mischievous grin, Tyrone said, “Of course it’s you!”
Quintessa rolled her eyes, “What are you babbling about? From your woman to your employee, just like that?”
In a faint whisper, Violet mumbled, “Quinn, you see, it’s Mr. York, he-he bought our studio.”
Her voice was almost inaudible by the end.
Quintessa froze for a second, then whipped around, “You sold out?”
Tyrone, flipping a fork between his fingers with an annoying swagger, proclaimed, “Now you not only have to call me landlord but also boss.”
No sooner had he finished than Quintessa snapped, “Shut your mouth.”
She fixed her gaze on Violet, “Violet, tell me.”
Quintessa’s face was expressionless, and she stared at Violet with her piercing eyes, which made Violet shudder. Violet grimaced, “Well, I-I had no choice, I wouldn’t have made it out alive to see you if I didn’t sign.”
