“ Killing someone in Huthailia ? You’ve got some nerve , ” he said coldly ,
Huthailia jobs were the hardest to pull off . That’s why the payout was so high .
White Fox’s lips parted hesitantly , her eyes clouded with conflict , “ I did take the contract and tailed the target for a few days , but .. they didn’t deserie la
die . ”
“ Boss , I won’t take action . Even if I did , there’s no escaping . There are surveillance cameras everywhere . You have my word . ”
“ I wouldn’t have come to Kanit City if it weren’t for you , ” White Fox grumbled .
At those words , Aria’s suspicions eased somewhat .
White Fox suddenly remembered something and turned to her . “ By the way , Boss , you’d better stay away from Russell and Olivia . After all … ”
After all , Sara got caught up in her mess and died because of it .
White Fox left the last part unsaid , but Aria understood perfectly .
Aria replied , “ Rest assured , I know what I’m doing . ”
Vanessa was still waiting for her , so Aria didn’t linger . “ I’ll head over first . Let me know if you need anything .”
White Fox grinned widely . “ Sure … ”
As Aria turned to leave , White Fox watched her retreating figure , her grin fading as her eyes clouded with worry and solemnity .
The studio complex had its own hotel , where Aria and Vanessa shared a room .
Once everyone had settled in , they headed straight to the set when the call came .
The woods surrounding the studio complex served as the primary filming location for this production .
The crew bustled about setting up equipment while the actors got familiar with the set and ran lines .
When filming started , the director took Vanessa’s bag from Aria and passed it to his assistant . “ I’ll take care of Vanessa from here . Why don’t you go somewhere to relax ? ”
The director noticed yesterday that whenever Aria was present , Vanessa would easily break character during filming .
Vanessa wasn’t a formally trained actress . She started out as a pop idol and was still new to acting . She still needed time to become a professional
-actress .

The director was strict , and Russell was even stricter . He didn’t allow a single flaw .
Vanessa was a gifted actress , but her inexperience left her easily distracted by what was happening around her .
The director planned to help her overcome this distraction issue through a step – by – step approach .
Luckily , the assistant director happened to be a woman and could temporarily fill in for Aria as Vanessa’s assistant during filming .
Aria smiled at the assistant director . “ Thanks , I’ll leave it to you . ”
The assistant director waved her hand dismissively . “ No trouble at all ! ”
Aria had showered her with gifts , all high – end designer brands .

Not to mention just being a temporary assistant during the shoot , she would’ve been happy aven acting like a nanity .
The cast members were prohibited from taking on other jobs , and no fan visits were permitted . The shooting schedule strictly adhered to predos requirements , requiring no coordination from Aria .
Being Vanessa’s assistant was a pretty easy gig for Aria .
Aria had just settled into a shady spot when , out of nowhere , a hefty duffel bag came slamming
into her lap .
A sharp metallic clatter came from the bag as something pointed jabbed painfully into her kneecap .
Aria’s eyes turned ice – cold in an instant .
“ Ms. Saxon , you’re not here to lounge around , ” Russell ordered coldly . “ Since you’ve got nothing better to do , hold onto my bag . If anything in it gets damaged , you’ll pay for it . ”
The crew froze mid – task at the sight , exchanging knowing
aces with those nearby as they inched closer without making a sound .
Noticing the tension , a crew member rushed to alert the director .
The director had specifically instructed him to keep an eye on Russell and Aria , and to alert him at the first sign of trouble .
One of the extras leaned in and whispered curiously , “ What’s in the bag ? That clinking sound … don’t tell me it’s actual gold ? ”
“ Who brings actual gold to work , anyway ? That’s not even the point . The real story is , Mr. Nicholson was just looking for an excuse to talk to Aria , and he deliberately made her hold his stuff . ”
“ The hot guy and gorgeous girl’s chemistry was totally shippable . ”
“ This shift was totally worth it . We’re witnessing the big boss chasing after a girl . ”
But in reality …
They locked eyes in a battle of wills , neither yielding an inch , the air between them crackling with tension .
