"You gave this role to Esther?"
Max's face was aloof, no hint of guilt. He nodded, "What about it?"
"You replaced someone who had worked hard for that role… just like that?"
"Are you talking about that girl… Violet? That's what she is called, right?" Max casually waved a hand, dismissing Ruby's makeup artists.
Once they left, the room was empty, except for Ruby and Max who sat there, facing each other.
"Yes."
"If you don't know about it, let me tell you. She was kicked out because she had deceived everyone. With her disfigurement, she is not fit for this role…"
Ruby cut him off coldly, "It has nothing to do with Esther?"
"You have never meddled in my affairs before, Ruby. What has happened now? Are you finally playing the part of my fiancee?" Max stood up and walked towards her.
"Back off," Ruby narrowed her eyes the moment he leaned in.
Max sighed, "I am not here to argue with you, Ruby. Have you made your decision?"
Ruby pushed herself to her feet, "I have decided."
