Michelle’s eyes opened wide in shock. She had never expected Kace to analyze everything so well and end at thest bus stop. Michelle felt as if her cupboard had just been opened, and all her secrets had been let out.
She thought she had done everything so well that nobody would pin any kind of me on her. But she should have expected Kace to always be around her and open up her closet filled with secrets.
Michelle stared around her and found all the crew and cast looking at her with confusion as they waited for her to defend herself or say something at least.
All that Kace had said made sense and she hadn’t imagined that he woulde to Selene’s rescue, else she would have already practiced earlier on how she was going to reply to his usation.
"I didn’t do anything," she said, her voice barely audible since it was muffled by her silent cries. "Yesterday, Selene came to me and apologized for the p and I forgave her immediately. I’m not the kind of person to hold a grudge against people," she added, tears streaming down her eyes as she hoped they would believe her, especially director Jeunes.
If he doesn’t believe her, then that would be the end of her participation in the movie. People are going to tweet about what she did and her fans are going to hate her for it. So she internally prayed that Director Jeunes would believe her.
"Michelle is not the one behind this," Selene suddenly spoke and everyone’s eyes were on her. "We are friends and friends can’t possibly do such a thing to another friend," she added.
Kace stared at her, wondering why she would say such a thing. He could see through Michelle’s lies and fake cries but he couldn’t understand what was going on in Selene’s mind.
"And Natalie is not the one at fault either. It was just a simple mistake. The shoes do look old and the wood probably gave up holding my weight so it broke," she continued.
She stared at director Jeunes.
"No one was at fault here, it was just the bad condition of the wood the shoes were made with."
Everyone was shocked but no one was more shocked than Michelle.
’Has she always been this stupid?’ Michelle wondered.
But she was also d that Selene was able to cover up for her. If any second had been wasted, she was sure director Jeunes would have fired her from participating in the movie.
"What a beautiful friendship they have," said one person.
"Even though she was in pain, she managed to bite through it so that she could save her friend."
People started murmuring around them, admiring how their rtionship was.
"I see," director Jeunes suddenly spoke. "If that’s the case then I think I should be yelling at whoever made these shoes. He’s so ipetent," he added.
His eyes went to Natalie who was crying her eyes out, and apologized.
"I’m sorry for yelling at you earlier, Natalie."
Director Jeunes might be a renowned man but he knew when to apologize whenever he was wrong.
"It’s no problem, sir," she nodded in understanding, wiping her tears. "But I think we should call a doctor immediately for Ms. Selene," she added.
"No it’s okay," said Selene. "It still hurts but I think I only need to put ice on it in case it swells."
"Please take care of yourself, Selene. You can have the rest of the day to recover," said director Jeunes.
After that, Kace helped Selene up and took her to the car. Michelle was about to follow them but was immediately stopped by Kace.
As soon as they entered the car, Selene stared at Kace as she asked with a grin stretched on her lips, "So, how was my acting?"
