With Benjamin in the car, Melvin dared not stick his camera into the vehicle. Even Carlos was mindful and respectful toward Benjamin, let alone a cameraman like him. The unexpected shot he captured of Benjamin carrying Shannon last night became a stroke of genius on his part.
Inside the car, Benjamin simply nodded in response to Carlos' words and turned to Shannon, saying, "I'll pick you up once you're done."
Shannon had yet to process Carlos' words when she was stunned by Benjamin's offer the next second. She had emphasized that she had recovered during the car ride, yet he didn't seem to believe her.
For some reason, he particularly enjoyed driving her around lately. However, she convinced herself the next moment that he only did it out of professionalism to make the relationship look real. As such, she nodded at him. "Okay."
Since they had tacitly publicized their relationship, it wouldn't hurt to have him drive her around, right? Regardless, Shannon wasn't one to care about details like this.
Once his car left, Shannon followed Carlos to the filming location the production crew had rented, where Skylar and the other cast members were seated. When she arrived, Olivia was the first to run over and give her a big hug.
Then, she agitatedly asked about last night's incident. "I heard you got hurt last night. Are you alright, Shannon?"
While asking that, she scrutinized Shannon's body from head to toe and finally grabbed at her gauze-wrapped hand, sounding sorry. "You did get hurt! It must've hurt, right?"
Shannon shook her head, responding, "It doesn't."
Her wound had healed, after all. The reason why she kept the gauze on was that she didn't want others to notice her rapid recovery.
However, her decisive response only made Olivia think she was pretending to be tough. She said disapprovingly, "How could it not hurt when you were already bleeding?"
Olivia began comforting her like an older sister. Then, she pulled her to the food station at the side and offered her some cupcakes and a milkshake.
Shannon couldn't help but notice the vast array of food and beverages on today's set. Not only were there desserts, filling up the tables, but they also came with special stickers.
"Have something sweet to brighten your mood."
Olivia pointed at the milkshake in Shannon's hands and the desserts on the tables. "These are the gifts from your fans. While these are from my and Vincent's fans."
She pointed at the other few tables.
