Who would've thought that the next moment, the man would open the gift box to reveal a massive diamond ring? The women around gasped in astonishment. "It's the Supreme Series diamond ring from KLO! And it's the largest one!"
"That must cost millions, right?"
"So jealous!"
"It's stunning! I dream of having something like that."
"..."
Thanks to the diamond, Linda's expression softened a bit. "Hello, thank you so much for liking me, but this gift is too extravagant. I can't accept it."
The man responded, "What's the big deal? My family owns a diamond mine. If you like it, I can send you a new one every day."
A family with a diamond mine?
The actresses were stunned.
Suddenly, the man who seemed unremarkable became much more appealing to them. They quickly started making small talk. "Where do you work, sir?"
"Where are you from?"
"How old are you?"
"Are you free? Want to grab dinner with us tonight?"
"..."
Gracie watched these women fawning over him like wolves, her face twisted with disbelief. "Are these women that desperate? Their taste is questionable—how can they be interested in someone like him?"
Astrid shook her head, chuckling, "Once the lights are off, they're all the same."
Gracie: "..."
When Gracie saw the Facebook post, she pretended to gag. "Seriously, this woman has no shame! She clearly accepted the gifts, yet claims she only accepts love?"
"Why does she sound so insincere?"
Gracie ranted for a while but noticed Astrid remained indifferent, so she snatched the script from her hands. "Astrid, aren't you attending the event with her? Where's your diamond? Go blind her with it!"
Astrid rolled her eyes at Gracie. "You know I don't care for those things."
"Besides, why should I compare myself to someone like that?"
"True, but don't all female celebrities try to outshine each other when they share the stage?" Gracie pouted, then grinned. "But honestly, with your stunning looks, Astrid, you don't need any diamonds to outshine her."
Gracie continued to mutter as they finally set off for the event.
The event was a live promotional activity for their TV series, attended by nearly all the main cast members.
