Chapter 143

• The set of Shades of Love was buzzing with activity—it was the final day of filming, and everyone was working with extra enthusiasm. Crew members moved with purpose, adjusting lights and cameras, while the actors prepared for their scenes. Rose and Lily were in the makeup room, getting their final touch-ups, while Leon, the film’s male lead, sat nearby, practicing his lines.
• Once her makeup was done, Lily returned to her seat next to Mia, her script in hand. She was deeply focused, reading through her lines, when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.
• “Surprise, surprise!” a familiar voice chirped from behind her.
