After a round of going through Alice’s parts in the scene, the director nodded in satisfaction. “You know Alice, you have
great learning ability, a hundred times better than those actors who got professional training!”
And at that moment, Sheryl just happened to exit the dressing room and hear what the director said, and her face
darkened like the bottom of a pan.
Hmph, Alice Doyle’s got better learning ability than the rest of them?
What kind of joke was that?
This director had probably slept with Alice as well.
“Director, I’m a very busy person. Please don’t delay my time!” Sheryl spoke up arrogantly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Realizing Sheryl’s presence, the director promptly regarded her with a smile. “Oh, Ms. Lynn’s here. Let’s quickly begin
shooting then!”
Meanwhile, the rest of the crew also bucked up so as to handle Sheryl properly.
Everyone in the business knew that Sheryl Lynn wasn’t just top-tier in fame. She was someone whom no one wanted to
mess with due to her family background!
As Alice and Sheryl stood under the blooming tree, Freddie and Josh were also walking toward them.
Hugging Freddie without care, Josh was at first talking about his games, but upon seeing Alice, he immediately said, “Freddie, remember the promise we had, tonight you’ll treat Alice and me to dinner!” Freddie’s faint gaze swept over Alice, and he replied through thinned lips, “Alright.” Initially, he had come to the set for Josh, intending to ask Josh to collaborate with his group and act in an artistic film. Upon exiting the dressing room, he did not expect to encounter Alice and Sheryl acting in the same scene. He did not have much expectation for Sheryl’s acting skills, but he wanted to see how Alice would handle this scene opposite Sheryl. Sheryl was already deathly jealous of Alice because of how the director had praised Alice. After
hearing the conversation between Josh and Freddie, she became even madder. No doubt about it then, Alice Doyle and Freddie King had an affair with each other! In that case, Sheryl couldn’t be blamed if she hit Alice so hard today that the latter forgot who she was! “Clash With The Celestial Maiden scene, everyone to their stations, action!” The director announced the start of the scene. The next moment, the props team turned on the blower, and the flower petals on the floor flew up with the resulting wind. With the help of the stunt wire, Alice descended from atop the blooming tree. She was about to say her line when, with a thump, she got hit on the head with a plank, which left her totally dumbstruck. “Alice!” Both the director and the rest of the crew were shocked by what they had just witnessed, and all rushed toward Alice. “Sheryl, what was that for? Is that how the plot was supposed to go?” The director could clearly remember finalizing the plot with Sheryl. Why did she suddenly get violent? Could it be that Sheryl had really come to make things difficult for Alice, as Maisie and the others had said? No matter what’s going on with Alice, she still had a suitor in Travis Richards, and they could not afford to let her get injured just like that while working with the crew. “Oops… sorry, director, I misremembered. I thought I was supposed to hit her… sorry about that,” apologized Sheryl casually, Though the crew resented Sheryl’s behavior, everyone knew about her status within showbiz, so they could only keep that resentment to themselves for the moment. “I’m fine, director. It’s just that my hair’s a bit messed up. I’m not injured! Let Linda help fix my hairdo, and it’ll be alright. Ms. Lynn has many acting projects going on, so it’s understandable that she misremembered… Alice put a hand to her forehead, with tears contained in the corners of her eyes, giving the
expression of an aggrieved yet sensible person. This appearance aroused sympathy from even Freddie, who was considering whether to tell Daniel Kaur about this, not to mention from the rest of the crew as well. 1/2 12:14 Chapter 53 Only Josh slightly raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and calmly stared at Sheryl. Bullying his dear Sister-in-law Alice, Sheryl Lynn must have been tired of living… There would be hell waiting for her! Taking Alice’s response as a show of weakness, the corner of Sheryl’s lips curved up in satisfaction. “Director, she says she’s fine. Let’s restart the scene!” “Um…” The director frowned, men tally hurling curses at Sheryl. This woman was taking advantage of her status as a big shot to bully others without care. “Alright, later, we’ll give Alice’s landing on the ground a close-up and give Sheryl some time to find the right feel for her role. The director adjusted the camera angle in case Sheryl picked up the plank again later. Send Gift Comment 7 2/2 12:14
