Hearing his chuckle, Pearl felt frustrated. "You're incredibly shameless.”

Silas insisted, "Il just want to get closer to you."

"No, there's no need for that. | don't want to get close to you." Pearl didn't want to stay. She turned to leave, but Silas held her wrist tightly.

"Don't be so cold," he said.

"I've been very clear with you."

In this standoff, they stared at each other, unaware of each other's thoughts.

"Miss Pearl."

Estrella's voice brought them back to reality. She had changed into her regular clothes and stood nearby, watching them with mixed feelings. "Miss

Pearl, I've changed my clothes."

"Okay—"

Estrella interrupted Pearl. "I'll head back to the company since the shoot is paused.”

But Pearl frowned when she saw Estrella was alone. "I thought you cwith your assistant. Where is your assistant?"

At the mention of the assistant, Estrella explained thoughtfully, "My assistant had to return to the company due to an emergency, so I'll just go back

on my own."

"How could you do that? This place is quite isolated, and you're a young woman. What if something happens?" Pearl then looked out of the window at

the drizzling rain and said, "It'll be difficult to get a taxi in this weather."

Suddenly, she turned to Silas. "I'll ask Silas to give you a ride back."

Surprisingly, both Estrella and Silas refused at the stime.

"No, that's unnecessary!"

"No, | don't want to."

Estrella refused in panic. Seeing this, Pearl spoke firmly, "I'm not joking. Do you want to get hurt again?"

Estrella's anxious refusal weakened after hearing Pearl's concern. "But | feel bad inconveniencing others."

Silas, filled with frustration due to Estrella’s whispered protests, added, "She doesn't wantto give her a ride. Why should | insist? Can't you see

that | like you?" He declined the suggestion and confessed his feelings for Pearl.

Estrella’s face paled, and Pearl could see it clearly. "I just want you to give her a safe ride home. | didn't ask for anything more. It's just a small favor.

Why is a grown man like you this petty?"

Pearl's disdain and disappointment in Silas finally convinced him to reluctantly agree. "Alright, I'll give her a ride home, but I'm doing it because of

you."

Pearl waved him off. "I don't care about the reason, as long as you make sure she gets hsafely.”

Silas put his hands in his pockets and shot Estrella a contemptuous look. "I'm taking you home. Why are you still standing there? Let's go.”

Estrella replied politely with a "yes."

Pearl watched them leave, touching her chin in thought. She wasn't sure if she had made the right decision.

At least, she could see that Estrella hadn't completely let Silas go, and there might be unresolved issues between them. As for Silas, he was just too

annoying, so it was best to send him away.

Then, she shook her head and tried to head back to the company. But when she got into her car, she was surprised to find that it had run out of gas.

"What bad luck!"
