Chapter 677
Sydney’s lips curled up slightly and her eyes filled with malicious intent.
With a smug look on her face, Naomi chimed in, “Let’s get this show on the road, there’s no time to waste. Our director is treating us to lunch.”
Celeste shifted her gaze back, about to speak, when the door of the training room was suddenly pushed open and a friendly voice echoed, “Director Javier, can I interrupt for a moment?”
Celeste blinked in surprise, turning to see Mason standing at the entrance, with hands full of coffee cups.
Javier paused, then broke into a smile, “Mason, what brings you here?”
Celeste looked puzzled
Mason spoke in a friendly manner, “Heard from a friend that you’re prepping for a new project and training the actors here. I was passing by, so I thought I’d drop in.” He looked beyond Javier to the people behind him, I’m not intruding, am 17”
“Not at all, we’re not in the middle of shooting or anything. Your visit is quite welcome.”
Javier took the coffee from Mason, had his assistant distribute it, and started chatting with Mason, “When did you get back?”
Mason replied, Tve been back for a while, been busy with a friend’s new law firm, and didn’t get a chance to catch up.”
“No worries, work comes first. Anytime is a good time to catch up.” Javier paused before asking, “How’s your health?”
“Doing great”
Javier smiled, That’s good to hear.”
As Eaton had said, Javier sure was a chatterbox. He and Mason talked for half an hour.
It was only when his phone rang that he excused himself to take the call.

Mason nodded, “His daughter was studying abroad and got involved in a bullying case. I helped her out.”
Mason lowered his voice, “I can stall for a bit longer. Your friend should be here with your clothes soon.”
Celeste blinked in surprise, “How do you know?”
Mason chuckled and whispered, “I saw your Instagram post last night. I actually came to see you and wanted to bring some treats, but I didn’t know where to find you. So I called your friend and she told me about your ripped clothes.”
“She’s going to another set to borrow clothes for you, but it’s a bit far. She was worried she wouldn’t make it in time, so she asked me to stall for you. Lucky that I know the director, huh?”
So that’s what happened.
Celeste sighed in relief, “You’ve really saved me.”
If her clothes didn’t arrive today, Sydney and Naomi would definitely use this opportunity to slander her, saying she’s causing trouble before shooting even starts. That wouldn’t leave a good impression.
Mason asked, “How did your clothes get ripped?”
Celeste shook her head, “Don’t ask. I was set up.”
Mason’s gaze swept the room, landing on Sydney, before he lowered his head and suddenly asked, “Do you want revenge?”
“Huh?”
Mason smiled and changed the subject, “Your outfit is very stylish.”
Celeste was always happy to receive compliments, “It’s a gift from my mom. She modified a pattern she found in a book, then had a tailor make it for
