" Miss Hamilton , I don't know what I did to offend you , " she said . " There's really nothing between me and Ian . " Patrick tugged Mia a few steps back . " Watch out , she's trying to practice witchcraft on you just like she did to Ian . " Mia shrugged him off , pointing a finger at Andrea . " Look , Ian is a realist .

" Ms. Sherman , filming doesn't look fair to me . " Andrea quickly shut off her phone . " I'm just scared . I don't want to do anything .
