Love Unspoken

Maya crossed her arms, leaned against the doorframe, and looked at the two of them indifferently. "Why? I just don't like her."

Quinn frowned. She'd never met Maya before, so she wondered why Maya was so hostile towards her.

She couldn't figure out what Maya was thinking.

To Maya, Quinn was a threat to her spot on the team and her plans with Alexander. After all, Getty hadn't shown up for days. Maya thought maybe Alexander and Getty had broken up, giving her a chance. Getty's hospitalization was a well-kept secret, so Maya had no clue. The longer Getty was gone, the more Maya believed they had broken up.

'Maybe Alexander already dumped Getty,' Maya thought, her resolve hardening. She looked at Helen and said, "I've said my piece. You figure it out."

"Maya..." Helen started, but the door slammed shut.

Quinn and Helen exchanged bewildered looks.

Quinn hadn't expected this on her first day and was at a loss.

She was about to speak when Helen cut in. "Forget it, let's just go back."

Quinn followed her downstairs in silence. Finally, she said, "Maybe I should just quit, Helen. You can tell her."

To Quinn, it wasn't a big deal, and she doubted Ronald would delay filming for a newcomer like her.

'Why face more trouble?' she thought.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Helen grabbed her hand. "Ignore her. Let's go back. Maya's tantrums are nothing new."

Helen explained, "Since she got popular, she's been causing trouble daily, trying to get the company to terminate her contract. Ronald doesn't like her either. Let's talk to Ronald. This isn't your fault." Quinn thought for a moment, saw Helen's determination, and nodded.

On the way, Helen told her a lot about Maya.

The company decided not to terminate Maya's contract but instead opted to let it run its course until its expiration. Maya's contract would conclude in three years. Going against the company would likely result in her being marginalized and achieving little else.

Back at the office, Helen told Ronald what happened, and Ronald's face turned red with anger.

Ronald fumed, "We've all been waiting for her, and she just doesn't show up? Does she think she's irreplaceable?"

No one dared to speak.

Helen asked, "So what do we do now?"

Ronald sneered. "She thinks we can't shoot without her? We'll shoot without her."

"How?" Helen asked.

Ronald's gaze landed on Helen. "How about you take her place?"

Helen was shocked and smiled wryly. "Mr. Lewis, you must be joking. I can't do it. We can't just replace her like that."

Ronald said irritably, "The last series is done. It's normal to change people for a new series. I'll talk to Mr. Bell."

Helen waved her hands. "No way. I don't look as good as Maya, and she has so many fans. We need someone better, or the fans won't be happy."

Ronald thought about it and realized she was right. He looked around and his gaze settled on Quinn.

Quinn's back stiffened, and she had a bad feeling.
