Love Unspoken

Just as they were about to start, a rushed voice cut in.

Quinn turned and saw Maya, panting and leaning on her knees, trying to catch her breath.

"Aren't you not filming anymore?" Ronald asked coldly.

Maya explained, "When did I say that? It's Helen spreading rumors again. I just had a stomachache and asked her to tell you to wait. How did that turn into me quitting?"

Helen looked shocked. "Maya, what are you talking about? You said it yourself!"

Maya glanced at her, then pretended to be upset, wiping away fake tears.

With tearful eyes, Maya said, "I know you don't like me and think I'm not good enough for your script, but we're a team. We should support each other."

Helen was so mad she couldn't speak. She pulled Quinn over and, in her anger, directly called out Maya's real name. "Quinn, tell everyone. Didn't you also hear her say she wasn't filming? Angela, how can you slander me like this?" Maya replied, "If you insist, I have nothing to explain. Let's wait for Mr. Kennedy to decide."

Helen laughed angrily. "Mr. Kennedy doesn't have time for you. You're overestimating yourself!"

Quinn nodded, about to defend Helen, when Kyle's voice came from behind, "What's going on here?"

Everyone turned to see Kyle and Alexander. They were shocked; Alexander rarely showed up at the company, let alone the filming site.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

They all looked at Maya, thinking, 'Did she really foster a bond with Alexander? Is that why he's here? No wonder she's getting more and more arrogant; it turns out she has Alexander's backing.' Seeing their expressions, Maya felt secretly pleased that her little trick really worked.

Even if Alexander didn't help her, it was just their speculation and had nothing to do with her.

Anyway, she wouldn't lose anything.

Ronald quickly approached Alexander, asking respectfully, "Mr. Kennedy, what brings you here?"

"I was passing by and thought I'd take a look," Alexander said, glancing at Quinn.

Quinn frowned, thinking, 'Is he worried I'd run away? I've only been at work for half a day, and he's already here. What is he up to?'

Maya complained, "Mr. Kennedy, I wasn't feeling well and was a few minutes late. They want to replace me with a newcomer. Is that fair?"

She continued, "I've been with the company for two years, built my account from zero followers, and now they want to replace me. Is there any fairness left? What do they take me for?"

Maya started to cry, looking very aggrieved. "I've been dedicated to this team and the company, and this is the result?"

Everyone else was angry but uneasy, unsure of Alexander's intentions.

"Newcomer?" Alexander asked.

Maya pointed at Quinn. "It's her. She's been here less than four hours, and they replaced me with her. It's really disheartening."

Alexander's gaze lingered on Quinn before he looked away. "What are you filming?"

Ronald quickly handed him the script.

Alexander flipped through it casually, glancing at Quinn. She sensed danger and worried. 'Does Alexander not even want me filming with another man?' Alexander asked, "Who's the male lead?"

Rex stepped forward nervously. "Mr. Kennedy, it's me."

Alexander looked at him expressionlessly, raising the script. "You two, filming this?"

"Yes," Rex replied quickly.

"Holding hands and hugging?" Alexander asked.

Rex was stunned, not knowing what he meant, and nodded stiffly. "Yes. It's necessary for the plot. It's not a very intimate scene."
