Chapter: 348
Caught off guard, Francis stammered, “Well... It's a misunderstanding. | was here for Miss Cicio.” “Miss Cicio isn’t here. Please leave.” Tyler was firm.
Annoyed but in the wrong, Francis had no choice but to exit begrudgingly.
Once he was gone, Tyler exhaled in relief. Without tuming to face Ariana, he said,
“Ariana, get dressed. I'll keep watch outside, and no one will bother you again. Trust mae
The door closed once more. Though Tyler was standing guard, Ariana didn’t feel comfortable lingering in the lounge. She hastily changed and left the room.
Sometime during the ordeal, Selene and Meadow had gathered outside.
Upon seeing Ariana, Meadow immediately apologized, “I’m so sorry, Ms. Edwards. | had no idea Miss Cicio had scheduled a meeting with Mr. Salazar about the script. | shouldn’t have brought you here without her permission.” ©
Ariana’s mouth fell open in shock.
Fearful of something, Meadow didn’t let Ariana speak. She rattled off her words quickly, not allowing interruptions. “I apologize. It's my fault. | should’ve been guarding the door, but | suddenly had an upset stomach and had to use the restroom.”
Ariana’s mind raced with questions. Meadow had claimed Selene wanted her in the lounge, yet now it seemed Meadow had brought her there without consent.
Additionally, she had locked the door before changing. How could Francis have simply pushed it open and entered? By now, a crowd had formed, eager to learn what had transpired.
Whispers and gossip rose one after another.
“Meadow, are you saying Mr. Salazar stumbled into the lounge and caught a glimpse of Ariana undressed?”
“Seems like it. How awkward, right?”
“Not really. It’s not unheard of in the entertainment world. Who knows if Ariana was intentionally trying to seduce the director?” “True. She might've jumped into the pool on purpose to set this up.”
Hurtful words reached Ariana’s ears, leaving her complexion ghostly pale. She couldn't tell if it was from the cold or fear of Francis, but she looked dreadful.
No longer able to endure the scene, Ariana hastily gathered her things and fled. © Seeing her distressed, Tyler followed close behind.
The film and television center was a bustling place, but Ariana barely noticed the passers-by. She felt as though she were drifting alone in a desolate wasteland.
