The set of Shades of Love was buzzing with activity—it was the final day of filming, and everyone was working

with exits enthusiasm Crew members moved with purpose, adjusting lights and cameras, while the actors

prepared for their scenes Rose and Lily were in the makeup room, getting their final touch-ups, while Leon the

film’s male lead, sat nearby, practicing his lines.

Once her makeup was done. Lily returned to her seat next to Mix, her script in hand. She was deeply focused,

reading through her lines, when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

Surprise, surprise!” a familiar voice chirped from behind her

Laly turned her head, and a warm simile spread across her face when she saw Mira standing there. “Mira,

shouldn't you be saying that to your boyfriend first?” Lily teased, raising an eyebrow “This is your first time

visiting our set, and if you don’t greet him first, I'm sure he’s going to be jealous of me.”

Lily giggled, and Mira laughed as she took the seat beside her. Casting a glance toward Leon, who was still

engrossed in rehearsing his lines and oblivious to her presence. Mira shrugged playfully “If he gets jealous, then

so be it,” she said with a mischievous chuckle.

Both Lily and Mia burst into laughter. Over the past few weeks, Lily and Mira had grown quite close. Their

frequent meetings to discuss their upcoming fashion boutique had blossomed into a genuine friendship. Ever

since Mira and Leon had learned about Lily’s secret marriage to Ethan, they had beca trusted part of her

inner circle, vowing to keep her personal life away from the prying eyes of the media.

Meanwhile, Leon glanced up from his script and finally noticed his fiancée chatting happily with Lily playful pout

formed on his lips as he walked over to them, crossing his arms like an upset child.

“So, it seems my darling doesn’t loveanymore,” he declared tically, puffing out his cheeks in -mock

offense.

Mira, clearly amused, glanced at him briefly before turning back to Lily, completely ignoring his antics, “Baby”

Leon continued, his tone even more exaggerated, “have you finally realized you don’t care aboutanymore?

How could you do this to me? What am | supposed to do now? How will | survive without your love?”

Mira rolled her eyes. “You're such a king,” she said with a smirk. Turning to Lily, she added, “Let's just

ignore him.”

But Leon wasn’t ready to give up. “Wait, wait! Tell me, who is this rival of mine? Who's bold enough to steal your

attention away from me? Who dares to cbetween us?”

Mira gave him a sly look before pointing toward Lily. “It’s her”

Leon gasped in mock horror, but before anyone could react, he wrapped his arms around Mira and planted a

quick kiss on her cheek. “If it's Lily,” he said with a mischievous grin, “then I really don’t mind.”

Mira raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And why’s that?”

“Because,” Leon whispered into her ear, though loud enough for both Lily and Mia to hear, “she can’t sMUMiY

you the way | can.”

His cheeky remark sent the whole group into fits of laughter, the lighthearted moment filling the room with

warmth and joy as the busy day carried on.

the fact that they weren't alone. “If you two want to keep kissing, the vanity van's just over there,” Mia. teased,

making Mira’s cheeks flush red with embarrassment.

“This is all your fault!” Mira scolded Leon, who responded with a laugh, pinching her cheek affectionately “Who

told you to ignorein the first place?”

Lily and Mia couldn't help but laugh at the couple's playful hanter. Despite Leon being a top actor and Mira a

highly successful businesswoman, neither carried an air of arrogance or superiority. Their down-to-earth nature

made them easy to be around, and their relationship was something others couldn't help but admire.

The lively, carefree atmosphere was interrupted by Rose, who walked in after finishing her makeup. Her eyes

immediately fell on the group, chatting and laughing together. A wave of resentment surged within her. Why

does everyone always gravitate toward that woman? What's so special about her!

Clenching her fists. Rose forced herself to plaster a sweet, polite smile on her face. “Hello, everyone!” she

greeted in a sugary tone.

Lily and Mia pointedly ignored her, while Leon and Mira offered an awkward smile in return. “Hello,” Mira said

curtly, making it clear her greeting was out of courtesy, not warmth.

Mira had always trusted her instincts, and from the moment she met Rose, something about her had felt off. Her

polished exterior and carefully crafted image didn’t fool Mira-she could sense the underlying falseness. However,

now that she knew the truth about Rose’s history with Lily, her dislike had deepened into outright disdain.

Rose, aware of the cold reception, felt anger bubbling beneath her carefully maintained facade. Her eyes flicked

to Lily, who was busy reading her script, seemingly oblivious. If no one else was here, I'd scratch that smug face

of hers, Rose thought bitterly.

Taking a deep breath to suppress her frustration, she composed herself and smiled brightly. Turning to Mira, she

said, “Miss Mira, it's such a pleasure to see you here for our last day of shooting.

“Why wouldn't | be here, Miss Rose?” Mira replied casually. “After all, it’s the final shoot for my fiancé and one of

my close friends.”

“Oh! I didn’t realize you and my elder sister were so close.” Rose said with a feigned look of surprise.

Mia's sharp tongue didn’t miss a beat. “Miss Rose is such a busy and talented actress-how could she possibly

keep track of her elder sister's life or the people close to her?” she quipped.

Mira smiled at Mia's jab. “Sister Mia is right. Miss Rose has earned the title of Goddess Rose, so I'm sure her

schedule is packed. But | must say, I've heard quite a bit about Miss Rose... from Lily.”

Rose stiffened at this comment, her gaze snapping toward Lily. Narrowing her eyes, she forced a tight smile. “I

trust it was all good things, of course?”

Mia interjected with a mischievous grin, “Absolutely not.”

Lily and Mira both chuckled at Mia's bluntness, while a deep blush of humiliation spread acru Her heart raced

with fear at the thought of Lily revealing the full truth to Mira.

Noticing that Mira didn’t elaborate, Rose let out a quiet sigh of relief. Gritting her teeth, she gave an awkward

laugh. “Hehe... Sister Mia, you're such a joker.”

Mia's expression turned cold. “Miss Rose, | don’t think we're close enough for you to call‘Sister Mia.” Hearing

it from you is... unsettling.” She rubbed her arms mockingly and added, “Honestly, I'm getting

“You—" Rose's smile faltered, her temper dangerously close to snapping.
