“I’m sorry. Miss Chavez is occupied at the moment. If there’s nothing urgent, I’ll end the call.
Please try reaching her after she finishes work.”
After hanging up, the assistant grabbed a glass of water and headed to the filming site.
Sabrina was engrossed in a scene with another actor whose assistant lingered nearby.
During a break, they discussed the recent rise in online scams.
Reflecting on the phone call moments earlier, Sabrina’s assistant couldn’t help but express her frustration.
“There are all sorts of scams nowadays. I just encountered a woman pretending to be someone’s mother.”
“I’ve come across similar cases. The scammer records someone’s family member’s voice and then uses AI to replicate it.
Sometimes, it’s challenging to distinguish.”
“It’s terrifying,” the assistant sighed.
Around three o’clock in the afternoon, after wrapping up the shoot, Sabrina came out and strolled toward her car on the street.
Having an assistant made things considerably more convenient. While Sabrina got changed in the dressing room, the assistant
had the foresight to call the driver to bring the car to them, sparing Sabrina the trek to the parking lot.

As Sabrina was about to step into the car, a woman’s voice rang out.
“Sabrina!”
She halted, recognizing the voice instantly despite having heard it only once before.
Sabrina hadn’t anticipated Rita’s persistent wait here, indicating the matter must be of great importance.
Surprised, Sabrina turned to face Rita.
“It’s you! What are you doing here? I don’t believe I’ve offended you or your son this time, have I?”
Rita, a bit flustered, approached and suppressed the frustration from her long wait.
“It has nothing to do with what happened last time.
I need to talk to you. Come with me.”
Rita proceeded ahead, and after a few steps, she noticed that Sabrina hadn’t followed her.
Turning back, she found Sabrina standing there, who spoke coldly.
“You expect me to go with you as you said? I had no idea that we were friends. If you have something to say, spill it here.
Otherwise, I’m leaving.”
Sabrina had a hectic schedule, with an evening dinner party and a meeting with some potential foundation donations on her
agenda.
