Celeste simply shook her head.
"What's there to be surprised about?"
Just then, their car pulled up, and the two slipped inside without delay.
However, Lyla didn't let the matter drop.
She turned toward Celeste and continued,
"I know you don't like Clara Scott, Celeste. But that doesn't change the fact that she's quite good at her work. She is currently the most popular face in the industry and widely recognized as well."
"Seeing her not getting selected is surprising —especially when we all know how much she had prepared herself for this role."
Celeste turned to meet her gaze.
There was unmistakable mockery in her eyes.
"Quite good at her work?" she repeated with a scoff.
"The most popular face?" She let out another scoff. "Aren't those supposed to be jokes??"
Lyla frowned.
She was about to respond, but Celeste spoke again, cutting her off.
