After the meeting, Xin was the only one driven back to the filming set by the company chauffeur.
The ride was quiet, filled with the hum of the car and the faint city sounds outside, but inside his head there was nothing but noise.
He sat back, eyes fixed on the blurred buildings that slipped past the tinted glass, pretending to be calm.
When they reached the set, most of the crew had already left. The day's scenes were done, and only the quiet traces of activity lingered.. half-empty coffee cups, cables looped neatly on the floor.
The few who remained were Director Sicheng, Nana, Jun, and Yushan. Yushan was still there, waiting for Xin to return so they could leave together.
Xin stepped into the living room. Only Yushan and Director Sicheng were there, standing near the couch. The instant Yushan saw him, the conversation between the two seemed to lose meaning. Yushan's focus shifted entirely to Xin.
