Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 82

After the two returned to the break room, Amara shut the door with a serious expression. She said, "Lucian, I know you meant well earlier, but please don't do that again."

Lucian had been silent ever since, his lips tightly pressed together and his face stern, the thought difficult for her to decipher. Seeing him like this, Amara sighed.

"Lucian," she said, her tone softening. "Guys like Finnian, they're in a whole different league from us. If you really piss him off, forget about making it in this industry; doing anything else might be tough too. You get what I'm saying, right?"

After a few moments of silence, Lucian finally spoke up, "Not our kind of people."

"Hmm?" Amara was momentarily puzzled. "What?"

"Not our kind, my kind," Lucian clarified, looking at her intently.

"Ama, you're not like me. You come from a rich family. You're not any lesser than Finnian. He shouldn't treat you like that."

Amara understood instantly, a small smile playing on her lips as she replied, "You know, we're really not that different."

Given her situation with the Sullivan family, she wasn't in a much better position than Lucian, but she chose not to elaborate on that for all the entanglement it emanated. She reminded Lucian to focus on his acting and not to clash with Liliana or Finnian anymore.

Whether Lucian truly listened or not was uncertain, but he didn't argue. He glanced at Amara before leaving the room.

Amara took a deep sigh, sat for a while, sipped some water, and prepared to head back to the set. But as she stepped out, she found Finnian waiting at the door.
