By lunchtime, Luo Xiaoqian and Xu Xia had not returned.
"Time to eat!"
The staff called everyone to go for the midday meal. Shen Xinyi watched as everyone went out to get their boxed lunches, but she remained seated, not moving.
Seeing that nobody was paying attention, she stealthily took out a small paper parcel from her bag and hid it in her pocket. She then walked cautiously towards the entrance of the stage. Observing a few staff members adjusting a camera beside the piano, she pursed her lips but ultimately retreated back the way she had come.
Just as she reached the makeup room entrance, she saw a courier peeking inside.
"What are you doing?" Her mood was foul, so her tone was naturally less than cordial.
The courier politely inquired, "Hello, I have a parcel for Miss Luo Xiaoqian. Is she here?"
"She's not!" Shen Xinyi retorted irritably, intending to pass by and have her meal.
