Annie Anne was left speechless, with no desire to defend herself.
She simply ignored her and walked straight to the director to explain.
"Director, I was followed by paparazzi on my way here, which led to a rear-end collision; that's why I was late."
Hearing Annie Anne's reason, Mia Carter couldn't hold back her laughter.
She laughed uproariously.
"You're not joking, right? Someone like you has paparazzi following them? Can't you even make up a better lie?"
Although paparazzi were shunned in the industry, they were also linked to fame.
Usually, only very popular stars had such obsessed fans. To Mia, Annie Anne was just making up excuses for her tardiness.
"Are you okay, then?"
The director yawned and looked Annie Anne up and down, straightening his back.
"If there's nothing wrong, let's start the shoot."
The filming officially began, and because it was a major scene involving many actors, some shots often required many retakes.
