Chapter 36: It Was An Act
"I might have an idea who was behind this," Kace suddenly spoke and everyone’s attention went to him. "It wasMichelle."
Michelle who was trying her best not to laugh out loud at seeing Selene’s state immediately stiffened. Her face went pale when Kace called her name as everyone’s gaze was on her.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" She questioned Kace, high on alert at his accusation even though he was right. "I would never do that to Selene, Kace. She’s my friend."
Kace sighed, his eyes focused on Selene’s ankle as he tried to massage it for her. He could see that the ankle wasn’t completely bent at an odd angle which was good news. But the pain was still there.
"Are you sure about that?" Kace questioned her. Director Jeunes and the rest kept quiet, wanting to see where this would lead. Director Jeunes wanted to find out immediately who was behind the accident that happened to his lead actress, Selene.
"What nonsense are you trying to say here, Kace? Selene’s my friend," Michelle repeated, hoping that Kace would just drop the topic but she knew that was impossible to achieve. She tried to maintain her pure reputation in front of everyone by looking as pitiful as possible. She forced some tears out of her eyes as she added, "Why would I even do that to Selene?"
Kace turned to look at her, a smirk on his lips as if anticipating that question since he started accusing her.
"There are many reasons why you would do this to Selene," he started. "For example; when she got the role but you didn’t? You are an A-list celebrity, Michelle, so it must have been a huge slap on your face while a noob like Selene got the biggest role in the movie and you didn’t." He paused, letting the information sink into her ears and the ears of everyone else.
"Plus what happened yesterday," he added. "She slapped you when it wasn’t even in the script. I’m sure that must have hurt your ego. So you decided to get revenge by doing something with the shoes."
