Summer glanced at Amber without the intention of moving her hand away, as if she did not hear what Amber had said.
"Summer, didn't you hear what I said?" Amber was getting impatient, but she lowered her voice.
Summer continued to ignore her.
Amber raised her chin and sneered, "Do you know what you look like now?"
She knew that Summer would ignore her, and she did not expect her to answer her question. She continued, "You are like a stray dog trying to keep the last bit of your poor dignity."
Amber deliberately emphasized the last few words.
Summer slowly put down the magazine in her hand. She turned to look at Amber with disdain, as if she didn't take her seriously at all.
Summer tilted her head to one side, as if she was condescending to talk to Amber, "Do you know what you look like now? Like a dog that can't wait to lift its legs and pee everywhere to mark its territory."
"You..." Amber pointed at Summer, flying into a rage.
Summer reached out her hand and held the fingers that Amber extended. She smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, like a good friend persuading Amber, "Miss Amber, don't forget who you are now. If you are rude to me like this, what would people think of you?"
Although Amber was angry, she knew that Summer's words made sense.
However, she couldn't lump it, which was exactly what Summer forced her to do it.
Summer had thought of working without personal feelings, and she didn't want to be involved with Leonardo and Amber anymore.
However, it went against her wish. Money and power ruled. Leonardo invested on 'Lost City 2' and became the patron.
She was indebted to Eliza, so she could not indulge herself and quit, leaving Eliza and the crew in great trouble.
She had to face Amber's hostility and the possible persecution from Leonardo in the future.
However, she was not a coward, whose knees would buckle at the provocation.
Glaring angrily at Summer, Amber struggled fiercely and pulled her finger out of Summer's hand.
Perhaps Amber felt that she had lost her composure just now. She collected herself and said with her usual calmness, "Don't think you've won."
Summer smiled and said, "Same to you."
Amber gritted her teeth and looked away, advising herself to be patient. She tucked herself with the blanket and put on her eyeshade, going to sleep.
The world was finally quiet. Summer closed the magazine and gently pressed down on the place between her eyebrows with a solemn expression.
She had just boarded the plane and had made an enemy before the filming. When they started to work together, there would be a lot of troubles. She needed to save her energy to keep herself in good spirit, so she could deal with those troubles when they came.
Their plane took off at noon, and soon lunch was served on the plane.
The plane would land in the afternoon, and there would be a lot of things to do. Therefore, they might not have time for lunch. The most they could do was to have dinner together.
Summer ate up the meal served by the flight attendant. Amber took a few bites and said with distain that it tasted awful, so she didn't finish it.
Summer used to think that Amber was smart, but now she found that she was just an ordinary woman.
Eliza had been thinking about what Summer meant, asking, "What do you mean? Do you mean that Amber attempts to mess up with people around you? Let's get to the point. Does she want to screw me as well?"
Summer frowned. Although she felt that Eliza's words were too coarse, she nodded and said, "You can see it that way."
After she spoke, she received the reply from Douglas. "No."
Just as Summer was about to text back, Douglas replied, "Why are you still thinking about that heartless man up to this moment? You're with the crew now, so why don't you just get a handsome young man to be your boyfriend. By the way, the leading actor is very attractive..."
Summer pulled a wry face. "I am just asking."
Douglas said indignantly, "That means you are still thinking of him."
Summer was lost for words. She typed on the screen and texted, her finger on the screen a few times and said, "Chat with you later. I'm busy."
When she exited the message screen, she felt someone staring at her. Summer abruptly turned her head and saw Eliza smiling meaningfully.
Eliza gently nudged Summer, lowered her voice, and said with exaggerated excitement, "Wow. You finally change your mind and look for a boyfriend? Look at his avatar. Obviously he is handsome young man."
Did Eliza peek when she texted on her message?
"What did you see?" Summer asked crossly.
"I saw everything." Eliza said solemnly.
Summer chuckled. If Eliza had seen everything, she wouldn't have said that.
