Chapter 530

Since Luna was a newcomer who hadn’t appeared in any major productions, her arrival was met with an awkward silence. No one on the van recognized her.
“Hello everyone, I’m Luna,” she said, breaking the silence and introducing herself with confidence.
“Hi, Luna, welcome. Take a seat. We’re about to leave,” Darnell said, being the first to respond.
Luna smiled and nodded, walking directly to the seat behind Yvonne.
“Yvonne, long time no see,” Luna said after sitting down, raising a hand in a friendly greeting.
She acted as if they had always been the best of friends, as if all their past friction had never happened.
“Hi,” Yvonne replied. She wasn’t going to embarrass Luna publicly, but she had no interest in engaging with her either, so her response was cool and detached.
Luna got the hint and sat quietly in her seat, not trying to provoke Yvonne further. The van headed out of the city and toward the countryside.
Yvonne looked out the window and was surprised to see the scenery becoming increasingly familiar.
The filming location was Riverbend, the same place they had gone camping with Noah and his wife.
“Why are we filming here?” Yvonne asked, puzzled.
Shirley also looked out the window and shook her head in confusion. “Yeah, Istra has so many tourist spots and famous landmarks. Why pick a place that hasn’t even been developed yet?”
“You guys don’t know anything,” Luna chimed in from the back seat. As Mr. Ward’s current favorite, she was privy to more information. “The Thompson Group just bought this land and is planning to build a port here. Mr. Ward wants to suck up to the Thompson family, so he chose to film in the middle of nowhere.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be the apple of Mr. Bennett Thompson’s eye? How come you didn’t even know this?” Luna added with a contemptuous glance at Yvonne before huffing.
Yvonne glanced back at her, then turned away again, not bothering to explain.
The van stopped by the riverbank. Not far off, the river met the sea in a magnificent display, with mist using from the water and refracting the sunlight. The view was breathtaking.
However, the area was undeveloped and overgrown with weeds. Even with the production crew’s thorough preparations, spending two days filming here was not going to be comfortable.
“We’ve reached our destination. Everyone can get off now,” the show’s director announced, standing up from the front passenger seat.
The guests disembarked one by one. Seeing the deserted surroundings, many of them couldn’t help but frown.
But the cameras were still rolling, so no one let their disappointment show, continuing to laugh and joke around.
“Hey, we’re not actually staying here tonight, are we? There’s not evenza building in sight. Where are we
supposed to sleep Shirley
whispered to Yvonne linking
arm through hers.
“I just saw the crew unloading tents. I think we’ll be camping out tonight,” Yvonne whispered back.
“Camping? But it’ll be so cold!” Shirley pouted, her lower lip sticking out dramatically. “The crew will probably provide some heating. Come on, let’s go help,” Yvonne said, pulling Shirley along to assist the crew.
Luna, not knowing anyone else, trailed behind Yvonne and Shirley.
Seeing this, the male guests naturally followed suit. If the female guests were all helping out while they stood around watching, it would look really bad in the final
cut.
With everyone pitching in, the tents were set up quickly.
Once they were up, it became clear that the guest tents came in three sizes: large, medium, and small, ranging from luxurious to basic.
