Chapter 1272:
While the photographer and brand teams continued their discussions, Hadley stepped away for a moment,
looking to catch her breath in peace. She sat beneath the sunshade, sipping water quietly.
“Hadley!”
A tap on her shoulder made her turn. When she looked up, she found Ayla smiling at her with a mix of surprise
and delight.
“I knew it! | wasn’t mistaken, it really is you. What are the odds of running into you again like this?”
“Yes,” Hadley answered after a short pause, offering a gentle smile.
“Quite the coincidence.”
“Wait, are you...” Ayla glanced toward the set. “I heard you took over Linda's endorsement for the high-end
skincare brand. Is that what you're filming today?”
“I am,” Hadley said with a nod.
“That's amazing!” Ayla said, her tone sincere. “To land a top-tier skincare endorsement after just one —

Hadley didn’t respond to the compliment. Instead, she shifted the conversation. “Why are you here?”
“Oh,” With a small pout, Ayla pointed toward a nearby set. “I'm doing a minor role in a film. Nothing major.”
“Miss Pearson!” a photographer's assistant called out, waving in her direction.
“I'm on my way!” Hadley replied, setting down her cup and glancing at Ayla. “Sorry, | need to get back.”
“No worries. Go ahead!” Ayla waved as she watched Hadley walk away. She remained in place for a while, her
gaze fixed, hands slowly tightening at her sides.
“Excuse me, could you please...” a voice said from behind.
Ayla turned around, and her eyes widened slightly. A smile slowly formed on her lips. “Mr. Scott.”
Eric stopped in his tracks, a faint frown appearing on his face.

“It’s me, Ayla,” she said, eyes locked on him. “Don’t you remember? I'm with East Entertainment Media. We had
dinner together once...”
Noticing the impatience on Eric's face, Ayla stopped speaking at once.
A sudden thought crossed her mind. “You're here to see Hadley, aren't you?”
As soon as he heard Hadley’s name, Eric's expression shifted. The sharpness faded, and he gave Ayla his full
attention. “She’s here?”
“Yes, she is!” Ayla said quickly, pulling out a chair for him. “Please sit down. She was just sitting here a moment
ago.” She gestured toward a direction on set.
Eric looked over and saw Hadley a short distance away, posing for the billboard shoot.
Since she was still working, he decided he might as well wait.
“Thank you,” he said as he took the seat.
“Mr. Scott,” Ayla said, hurrying to
