After polishing off the dessert, Aurelia and her crew had had enough of Megan's antics and decided to leave. But Megan dogged as ever, followed closely behind, convinced that as long as Aurelia was around, Leopold would eventually show his face.
Little did she know, Leopold had already revamped his entire look and was out and about, enjoying his freedom, and was invisible to her recognition.
Back on the movie set, an assistant, panting with the effort, hurried over to Leah with an armload of snacks, "Leah, here's everything Avery asked me to prepare for you, your favorites, and even your most-loved strawberry milkshake."
Leah cast a glance at Avery, who was in the middle of a scene and felt a twinge of regret for her earlier outburst.
Love was not something one could force. If Avery didn’t fancy her. She couldn't make him like her. She just wasn't his type.
With a sigh, she plopped down into a chair, took the milkshake in hand, and began to get rid of her worries.
They say there's nothing like comfort food to soothe the soul.
After some time, Avery joined her.
"I hope that by the time you've finished your milkshake, you're not upset anymore?"
She pouted, "I wasn't angry in the first place."
Avery playfully tapped her nose, "With a pout like that, you could hang a Christmas ornament, and you still claim you're not upset?"
Her lashes fluttered, "Hyvin and I are just friends. You misunderstand me."
Avery gently patted her head, "You want to date?"
She hung her head low, silent. The truth was, she didn't want to date just anyone. Her heart was set on him.
Avery sighed, "I can't control you. Alright, if there’s someone you like, just tell me. I'll check him out, and if he's alright, you have my blessing to date."
