Bryson shot Pierson a brief, icy glance.
“Let’s not tarry any longer, shall we? Weren’t we bound for a late- night repast? My stomach is already voicing its complaints!”
Lydia, perceptive as ever, guided Pierson out.
“It seems Hannah won’t be available tonight. Let’s proceed, just the two of us!”
Being led away by Lydia, the reluctant Pierson left the set.
Hannah, still clad in her theatrical attire, tilted her chin ever so slightly while regarding Bryson.
“Do you mind waiting for me while I change out of these garments?”
“I shall patiently await your return.”
Emerging after a swift costume change, Hannah discovered that the majority of the cast and crew had already departed the set, leaving only Bryson, who stood waiting beneath the sheltering boughs of a tree.
“Where is Miss Glyn?”
“She departed early, owing to some pressing matters.”
Bryson’s voice bore a casual, indifferent tone.
“May I have the car keys? I’ll take the wheel.”

Upon spotting Hannah’s sleek Ferrari parked nearby, Bryson’s response was anything but astonished. He inquired, “Is this your car? It’s quite exquisite.”
“It’s an old companion of mine; fortunately, it has undergone meticulous restoration.”
Both of them entered the vehicle and Bryson initiated the engine.
“Lately, our companies have been engaged in a joint project, marking a collaboration between the Mitchell and Glyn families. Hence, our presence here.”
Hannah cast an inquisitive glance Bryson’s way.
“Is the Mitchell family also intertwined with the entertainment industry?”
“My family dabbles in a multitude of industries, though seldom do we venture into the realm of entertainment. I had a connection with that director and agreed to lend him assistance,” he mentioned.
Hannah offered an acknowledging nod and remarked, “I see”
“And please, pay no heed to Melina’s utterances today.”
The mention of Melina caught Hannah by surprise, as Bryson voluntarily broached the topic. She responded with a warm smile, saying, “She’s your friend; I won’t be swayed by her words.”
“You need not be overly courteous to her for my sake.”
