Chapter 1310:
She had followed Margo from the moment Rory pulled her away. But she hadn’t gotten too close, keeping a safe distance. Because of that, she’d seen the two of them talking, but she hadn’t heard a word of what was said.
In a way, it was just as well. The agent didn’t want to eavesdrop on the conversation between Margo and Rory. She already knew certain things, but since Margo had never brought them up herself, it felt inappropriate to ask.
The agent wasn’t the type to care too much about her clients’ private lives. To her, Margo was an actress whose career she managed—nothing more.
“I’m sorry,” Margo said softly.
“Save your apologies for the director. He’s still waiting for you,” the agent replied coolly. “Margo, there are things I’d rather not get involved in, but remember this—you’re a public figure, an actress living under countless lenses p>
Margo froze for a moment, then forced a smile. “I know. I plan to stay in this industry for a long time p>
After hesitating, Margo decided to shut off her phone completely.
When the two women returned to set, the agent made Margo apologize to the crew, blaming her sudden departure on feeling unwell. The director still looked annoyed, but he didn’t want to damage his relationship with Margo, who was rising fast.
The makeup artist touched up Margo’s face, and filming resumed without further incident.
The shoot went smoothly. After a few retakes, they were finally done.

“What’s wrong?” she asked around her mouthful, nearly choking.
“There seems to be something wrong with the car. It won’t start,” the driver explained.

Margo’s expression darkened. “Then what are we supposed to do? We need to get to the set as soon as possible p>
A thought struck the agent. “Ask Rory to give you a ride. The two of you have to go back to set anyway,” she suggested.
“You want me to share a car with Rory?” Margo shot her an odd look. “What about the paparazzi? Aren’t you worried photos of me and Rory in the same car will end up trending again p>
“Both of you work for the same company,” the agent replied flatly. “Besides, who’s to say there aren’t paparazzi around right now? Honestly, it might’ve been better if they photographed the broken-down van p>
As she spoke, the agent casually patted Margo on the shoulder and sent a quick message to Rory’s agent.
Margo rolled her eyes but didn’t argue.
A moment later, Rory’s agent arrived to pick her up.
Margo had originally planned to tweet about her bad luck, but now all she could do was stare at her dark phone screen.
“Still standing there?” Rory’s agent teased, snapping her out of her daze. “Are you planning a photo shoot p>
