Pearl rolled her eyes. "Your job today is to shoot, so don't tease me."
"I'm not teasing. Look at this man. He's going to shoot fire from his eyes soon."
Pearl turned to Silas. The latter indeed seemed a bit intense as he kept his eyes locked onto Hugh.
"Silas!" she called out to him, and he slowly looked back at her.
"Alright, little guy, I'm here to shoot so let's not complicate things. I'm not interested in Pearl. I'm married." Hugh raised his hand, revealing a large
diamond ring on his finger.
Silas's hostile expression softened, and he smiled. "You should have started with that."

Hugh had a good impression of Silas. "You're an interesting one."
As the three of them bantered, Celine returned after touching up her makeup, but she felt ignored. Jealousy started to churn within her as she
watched Pearl laughing and chatting with these two men.
Why was Pearl so popular? Not only did she have Silas, the rich man following her like a lost puppy, but she also had this handsman hanging
around her. It seemed like men couldn't resist being in her company.
Celine's jealousy grew, and she clenched her fists. Did Pearl really think she could just make her the female lead in their video as if she were some
sort of joke? She was just trying to flaunt her desirability by surrounding herself with men. Wasn't Pearl being a bit too arrogant just because she was
the president?
Celine's thoughts swirled as she imagined the possible downfall of Pearl's arrogance. However, her reverie was interrupted when Pearl tapped her on
the shoulder.
"What are you thinking, Celine? The videographer wants to see you."
Celine snapped back to reality and forced a smile. "Alright, I'll go over there now."
She blushed as she saw the handsman waving and smiling at her, and she walked over shyly.
Meanwhile, Pearl observed Celine's interaction with the man and had an unusual thought. She realized that Celine might not be the person she had
initially assumed her to be. However, she brushed off the thought, as the most crucial task at hand was to do the video shoot.
After running her fingers through her hair, Pearl joined them. Hugh introduced himself and explained his filming plans, which both Silas and Pearl

During the filming, Celine appeared somewhat unnatural in front of the camera, often wearing an awkward smile. This hindered the filming process,
and no one seemed able to help her improve. Hugh had to use camera tricks to avoid capturing her from the front.
After a challenging filming session, the first video was finally completed. Hugh would handle the editing afterward.
Pearl bid him farewell, and before leaving, he gave her a mysterious smile. Pearl didn't think much of it at the time.
After dropping Silas and Celine off at the office, Pearl received a message from Hugh. "Your female lead might be a troublemaker.”
Pearl froze and thought about it. Even Hugh felt something was off.
She recalled the cunning smile on Celine's face and decided that she needed to keep a close eye on her.
