Chapter 93
Catherine smiled and said, “Sure. We will make progress together.”
“Alright, the time is approaching. Everyone, please take your positions,” Kemp announced. “Sera, you’ll stand next to Cathy
Everyone else was shocked. They thought, ‘Standing next to Catherine, who is in the center position, is a huge honor for a newcomer. This is practically the spotlight for Seraphina, while even the first female supporting lead is standing at the back
“Come on, Sera” Catherine reached out, taking Seraphina by the wrist, and warmly pulled her along to the opening ceremony, looking like they were close friends.
The reporters present raised their cameras, snapping photos of the two. With one being well–known and the other taking center stage right away, it was bound to make headlines.
Seraphina faced the camera for the first time and surprisingly didn’t feel nervous. She smiled naturally. The next day, the opening ceremony photo became the cover story, with Seraphin standing out beside Catherine.
Netizens flooded the comments, praising Seraphina’s beauty, claiming she was even prettier than Catherine, pure and radiant like a goddess. It seemed like she was destined to be a star even before the film had even started,
In the office, Clarence was on the phone with Seraphina. “How are you feeling today?”
“Pretty good, Seraphina replied, sitting back in her chair. I used to think filming was mysterious, but now I realize a lot of it is done in post–production. The scenes shot on set are not that wonderful. I really admire how everyone manages to keep a straight face. It’s actually quite fun!
Clarence said, “Regardless of how fun it is, once this movie is done, you need to focus on other things.”
“I know,” Seraphina said. “Honestly, I’ve realized that this industry isn’t really for me. The interactions between people feel
too fake.”
“You’re such a silly girl, Clarence said gently.
Seraphina pouted, “Yeah, if I weren’t silly, why would I come back to you?”
Clarence chuckled, “That’s because I’m so charming.” He sounded extremely self–satisfied.
Seraphina thought, “That is true, but his tone is way too boastful What a narcissist.
“Take care of yourself. If anything bothers you, make sure to tell me. I won’t let anyone bully you,” Clarence said seriously.
His domineering protective tone made Seraphina’s heart flutter Mr. Gissing takes care of me so well that no one would dare to bully me. You can rest easy.
“Okay. I’ll get back to work now,”
“Alright. Bye.
“Bye.”
After hanging up, a cup of coffee was placed in front of her. She looked up to see Catherine, who was smiling at her.
Seraphina hesitated for a moment before accepting it. “Thank you.”

Seraphina remained silent..
Catherine continued, “Do you think I sound fake when I say tha
Seraphina smiled and replied, “Everyone has their own way of speaking.”
“I know. Five years ago, I wasn’t very friendly to you. I was immature back then, which is why I said those things” Catherine looked apologetic, gently placing her hand over Seraphina’s. Her expression seemed very sincere. Tm sorry, Ms. Johnson.
“At that time. I had some fantasies about Clarence. When you suddenly appeared by his side, I found it hard to accept, and that’s why I said those things I shouldn’t have. I regretted it
Seraphina pulled her hand back and held the coffee cup with both hands, remaining silent.
Catherine didn’t mind Seraphina’s avoidance and continued. That night, I answered the phone.”
Seraphina hadn’t expected her to admit that.
Catherine sighed, looking a bit remorseful, “At that time, Clarence and I were at Graceful Manor with our godmother. He was in the shower when your call came in. I saw it was you and picked it up, but you didn’t say anything before hanging up. I knew you must have misunderstood. Later, Clarence scolded me and became a bit distant because of it.
“I really regretted that night. Jealousy clouded my judgment when I answered your call. But what’s the use of regretting? Clarence is the kind of person who, once he decides to distance himself, won’t come back. I brought this on myself.”
After finishing, she gave a sad smile, tears welling up in her eyes, I’ve hidden my feelings for over a decade, and now it’s all out in the open. Clarence saw right through me. I carefully guarded this secret, hoping to confess to him when we could both feel the same way. But.. I messed it up myself, and now there’s no future for us.”
Tears rolled down Catherine’s cheeks, her eyes red from crying. It was clear she was truly heartbroken.
Seraphina didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t expected Catherine to come to her with such heartfelt confessions,
Catherine wiped her nose, trying to control her tears. “Sera, I’m jealous of you because you have Clarence’s affection. You’re the first person he’s cared about for years. You must be very important to him. That kind of importance is what I’ve always longed for, but suddenly it was taken away by you. I’m really jealous.
“In this world, you can ask for anything, but a person’s heart is hard to win. I can ask Clarence to do anything for me, but I can’t win his heart. That’s why, in a moment of jealousy. I did things I shouldn’t have.
“I really regret it, but what’s the point? I’ve lost Clarence, and that’s a fact I can’t change. It’s hard for me to accept, but I have to. Otherwise, I won’t even be able to get close to him.”
Catherine lightly wiped her tears, managing a smile as she looked at Seraphina, her expression softening. “Sera, I know you might be somewhat hostile towards me. That’s a natural feeling.
“But from now on, you can let go of any grudges you have against me. I won’t do anything undignified out of petty jealousy anymore. So, I hope we can bury the hatchet and enjoy working together on this film. Sera, would you like to be friends?”
Seraphina didn’t answer her question but said, “We were never enemies.
Catherine smiled and nodded. “Yes, we’ve never been enemies. Now that I’ve let go of my feelings for Clarence, we definitely won’t be. Have some coffee. It’s really good.
Seraphina took a sip.
Just then, someone walked over and called out. “Ms. Johnson, Ms Howard.”
Seraphina looked up and recognized the girl standing in front of her. It was Cora, the one who had shown her the way to the

Cora said, “Ms. Johnson, don’t you remember me? I’m Cora.”
“I remember,” Seraphina said. “Thank you again for that day”

“No problem. It was just a small favor,” Cora said with a smile. “Ms. Johnson, you still haven’t found an assistant, have you?”
