Tong Mo had unintentionally noticed how diligently she worked, and immediately felt satisfied, curling her lips into a smile.
Viscount Li Zijue certainly knew how to pick people.
In her moment of distraction, she heard the assistant frown and say, "Why does this clothing smell of fragrance?"
"Is there a problem?" Upon hearing this, Tong Mo immediately put down the hairdryer in her hand and walked towards her.
"Not a problem, just unusually fragrant; probably a scented sachet was used."
"Let me see." Tong Mo stepped forward, took the clothing from her hand, and sniffed it at her nose.
As soon she smelled it, she immediately covered her nose and threw the clothing on the floor, her brow furrowing tightly.
Seeing such a severe reaction from her, the assistant couldn’t help asking, "Miss Tong, what’s wrong?"
"This clothing is covered in pollen!" Tong Mo said, stepping back.
"No wonder it smells so strong..." The assistant realized at that moment, but seeing her desperately avoid it, she immediately guessed, "Miss Tong, are you allergic to pollen?"
"Yes! And it’s quite severe!" Tong Mo covered her mouth and nose and directly pulled open the door to walk outside.
She had been severely allergic to pollen since she was young, manifesting as either acne or, in severe cases, shock.
If she were to wear this clothing for an extended period, she wouldn’t be able to act for the next ten days or half a month.
And with filming about to begin, the production team surely wouldn’t delay the schedule to wait for her.
"Miss Tong, I’ve already taken the clothing to the laundry, and I had the front desk change the room," the assistant informed her.
"Thank you." Tong Mo sighed in relief, but deep down she was wondering who was behind this.
The assistant was also pondering this and prepared to call Viscount Li Zijue, "Miss Tong, I need to inform Mr. Li about this."
"Let’s not." Tong Mo quickly stopped her, "He has been particularly busy these past few days, I’d rather not worry him."
The assistant felt somewhat troubled, "But if we don’t tell Mr. Li, how will we know who the culprit is?"
"I already know who it is." Tong Mo’s eyes flashed viciously, as if she thought of something.
Only a very few people knew about her allergy to pollen, and one of those people bore a grudge against her.
No wonder she even took on the role of the malicious supporting actress this time. So, she was plotting to take her down and then take her place?
"Who?" The assistant couldn’t help asking, but then recalling those she had conflicts with, she immediately guessed, "Is it your sister Tong Nian?"
"Exactly." Tong Mo nodded affirmatively.
The assistant was indignant on her behalf, "Even if they’re half-sisters, how could she do something so vicious?"
"Why couldn’t she?" By now, Tong Mo had regained her composure and said with a mocking laugh.
Put nicely, they are sisters.
Put harshly, they are each other’s enemies!
The assistant sighed softly, looking at her, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"Return the treatment using her own methods!" Tong Mo clenched her fists tightly and said deliberately.
"She is allergic to mangos." Tong Mo hinted with a meaningful curl of her lips.
Since she knew about her allergy to pollen and used it to harm her, she wouldn’t feel sorry for using her adversary’s weakness against her.
The assistant immediately understood and said with a smile, "Rest assured, Miss Tong, I’ll take care of it."
"Thank you." Tong Mo sincerely expressed her gratitude.
"Miss Tong, you’re too polite." After saying that, the assistant immediately went out.
After a short while, she returned and nodded at Tong Mo, "Miss Tong, it’s all taken care of."
