Aiah opened her Instagram, reposted the notice post and, taking advantage of the fact that filming had yet to start, went through the comments section. The comments lay on both extremes.

[How funny, to have a need to post a notice about such a small thing and not call it looking for attention.]

[But Aiah Arceta really was always denying it, Gelo kept following and unfollowing and she had no reaction whatsoever. Plus, when the notice was posted, all those famous troll accounts immediately deleted all the related posts on their pages, if that's not their guilty conscience acting up, what is?]

[I feel bad for Gelo, he probably met a horrible woman.]

[I feel bad for my Aiah, it was bad enough that she was harassed by paparazzi, those Gelo fans wouldn't let her be either!!!]

[You're fighting so badly, did no one realize that the company only came clear about Aiah and Gelo, and not about that bigshot....]

Hold it! Aiah you must refrain, you absolutely cannot like that!!!

Aiah pressed on her right hand, silently saying that to herself.

Only the heavens knew how much she wanted to post a few dozens of Instagram updates to livestream her life, such as -

[Hello everyone, today I made out with Mikha Lim.]

So on and so forth.

Just thinking about it cheered her up . She locked her phone, picked up the box just filled with strawberries and slowly got up. Daisy beside her looked up. "Aiah, where are you going?"

Aiah said, "I'm going to see if they're filming."

"Please sit." Daisy put down her chopsticks, hurriedly swallowing a bite. "I'll go take a look, when they start filming, I'll let you know."

"There's no need, continue eating. I'm a little stuffed so I think it's better if I take a walk." Aiah picked up some strawberries and placed them in Daisy's bowl. "Fruit dessert."

When she went out, Maloi was on a call by the door and did not look too happy.

When Maloi saw her, she raised an eyebrow as a greeting, then walked further away to continue her call.

When she saw that Maloi did not want her to know about the contents of the call, Aiah did not linger, walking directly over to Direk Jho. "Direk, do you want some strawberries?"

"I don't really like eating these." Direk Jho roughly ate a few mouthfuls, not bothering with her image. "Didn't you say you're going out during mealtime?"

"Not anymore." Aiah propped her chin up. "I think I got stood up." She said, pouting.

Direk Jho side-eyed her. "You only have one scene left today, I'll adjust the timetable and let you go first."

"For real?"

"Don't you want to leave early and rest?"

Aiah smiled sheepishly. "I do."

Aiah's scene passed in one shot. Aiah left the set and was about to board the car when she was called out by a person who just got out of the black car beside hers.

It was a short and skinny guy.

She looked behind and saw that the guy got out of a nanny car, so it was probably not a fan. He was walking towards her so she stopped, and asked, "Can I help you?"
