A few people instinctively followed Freya Yeager’s gaze, and in the distance, they saw paparazzi with long lenses aimed right at them.
Seeing them all turn their heads in unison, the paparazzi on the sidelines immediately snapped photos of this moment with their long and short lenses.
Upon seeing this, both Nova Lambert and Emily Young immediately showed radiant smiles. However, since their smiles were performed, they looked unnatural and somewhat pretentious.
Two show-off peasants!
Emily Young glanced sideways at Nova and Emily, who were smiling at the paparazzi, with a hint of mockery in her eyes. The look was so fleeting that the others didn’t notice it before it disappeared.
Due to recent events, Lily Turner didn’t have a good impression of entertainment journalists. She tugged slightly at the corners of her lips, then turned her back to those reporters.
"Lily! Take a break in the car."
Freya Yeager noticed Lily Turner’s dissatisfaction with the paparazzi, worried that her emotions might be affected. Regardless of whether Lily agreed, she grabbed Lily and headed for the car parked not far away.
Lily went along with it, not only did she not shake off Freya’s hand from her wrist, but she also followed Freya’s steps towards the car.
Seeing this, Helena immediately followed them.
Watching the three leave, the remaining three people felt nothing but envy and jealousy, and even some resentment towards Lily Turner.
"What on earth is so good about that woman Lily Turner? Why is Freya Yeager so protective of her?" Nova Lambert was puzzled, turning to look at Emily Young and Nova Lambert, hoping to get answers from them.
Nova’s confusion and puzzlement were also shared by Emily Young and Nova, but they didn’t show it.
"You shouldn’t ask us; you should ask the people involved," Emily Young glanced in the direction Freya and Lily had gone, the meaning clear—if you dare, go and ask them.
Nova understood Emily’s implication and shook her head vigorously, "I don’t dare!"
"If you don’t dare, then keep your mouth shut and stop asking randomly."
Nova Lambert gave Nova a disdainful look and turned to walk toward the rest area.
"You..."
Nova, seething with anger, raised her hand to point at the departing figure with arrogance. Just as she was about to retort, Emily Young subtly nudged her and whispered a reminder, "There are journalists present."
Emily’s timely reminder made Nova very grateful, and she quickly lowered her raised hand, turning away to give Emily a thankful smile, "Thank you, Sister Emily."
"You’re welcome," Emily replied with a smile, "Let’s go sit over there too."
"Okay!"
Nova seemed very happy, but in her excitement, she didn’t notice the strange look that flashed in Emily’s eyes the moment she turned away.
Unbeknownst to her, this moment was sharply picked up by Freya, who looked long at Emily before getting into the car with Lily and Helena.
"Be cautious with that Emily Young in the future; it’s best not to have too much contact with her," Freya reminded once she was seated in the car.
Although Lily has been in the entertainment industry since sophomore year, now five years in, she still doesn’t understand some aspects of it.
For instance, how to interact with other actors; she thought simple interaction was enough. However, her idea seemed so naive and even foolish to them.
