Cindy said softly, “Director Cheever, why don’t we shoot the second scene first? The second scene involves a male actor and me. I’m almost done with the preparations.”
“Alright, ” Andy nodded. “Young Master Jewell, please go to the pavilion over there and have a seat.”
“Okay,” Chester nodded and was just about to walk over when suddenly, two people burst through the entrance of the studio. The person in front was Eliza, who was dressed in a gray tracksuit. Her thick and long hair draped messily over her shoulders, and her pure and natural face was flushed. Her face was full of collagen, making her look eighteen.
Behind her was a small assistant. Both of them were panting and out of breath.
Director Cheever looked at her and snorted coldly. ” Miss Robbins, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you for half an hour.”
“I’m sorry, Director Cheever.”
Eliza’s heart sank. Yesterday, Director Cheever still communicated with her over the phone pleasantly. “I didn’t mean to…”
“Eliza, be mindful next time and don’t be late again. ” Cindy hurriedly took Chester’s hand and said, ” Look, Chester came here to see me and he arrived earlier than you. And why haven’t you put o n your makeup yet?”
Eliza froze. “I…”
“Enough dawdling. Hurry up and put on your makeup and get changed. Your scene will have to be moved to the afternoon.” Director Cheever stormed off without waiting for her to finish.
“Eliza, hurry up and go. The director is really angry,” Cindy urged her.
Eliza glanced at Cindy and Chester. Her mood was already sullen, but when she saw these two people, she felt even more annoyed and simply left.
“Stop…” Chester’s deep voice suddenly stopped her. “You saw your boss but didn’t even greet him. Is this how Shedrick trains his artistes? Do I… have to hire someone to teach you proper manners and etiquette?”
Eliza closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She turned around and smiled apologetically. “Sorry, Young Master Jewell, I forgot to greet you because I was in a hurry to do my makeup. Please forgive me.”
Chester looked at her flushed face and said indifferently, “I don’t want you to see you late again, and I hope you won’t discredit Felix Media and me.”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Jewell. This won’t happen again,” Eliza apologized and turned to leave.
Cindy looked up at Chester. When she saw him staring at Eliza’s back thoughtfully, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Chester, it’s so sunny here. Let’s go over there and rest. I’ll try to finish filming early and then we can have dinner together.”
“I’m afraid that eating with you will affect my appetite,” Chester turned away expressionlessly.
Cindy’s expression twitched slightly, but she forced it down and smiled awkwardly, “Didn’t you come here for me today?”
“For you?” Chester smiled thinly. “Haven’t I made myself clear regarding our relationship?”
“Then… Are you here for Eliza?” Cindy asked in a low voice. “You forgot what I told you about Monte Patterson and her before…”
“Cindy Turner…” Chester looked back at her ruthlessly, “Don’t act like you were completely untainted before meeting me. I know very well that you went to the hospital to restore your hymen.
You’re no different from her. If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to talk about others.”
Cindy’s eyes filled with panic followed by embarrassment. “That’s not what I meant… I’m just worried that you’ll provoke Monte…”
“Do you think I’m no match for Monte?” Chester narrowed his eyes coldly.
“Of course not…” Cindy was at a loss.
“If you don’t know how to talk, then shut your mouth. Even if I want to play around with women, it’s none of your business. Besides, I don’t have those kinds of thoughts for Eliza. If you directed your schemes towards filming, your acting skills wouldn’t be so bad, ” Chester said and strode away with his long legs, disappearing from Cindy’s sight.
Cindy forced herself to hold back from crying in anger.
Chester was increasingly disrespectful to her with his words. It was like he was made of arsenic.
“Cindy, you’re so blessed. It’s your first day filming and Young Master Jewell came here to see you, ” The third supporting female lead ran over to curry favor with her.
“When you get married to Young Master Jewell, don’ t forget to invite us, ” the male lead also said fawningly.
“Of course, ” Cindy looked up and smiled. No matter how Chester was in private, in the eyes of others, she was the soon-to-be Mrs. Jewell which everyone was envious of.
In the small private lounge, the little assistant Leanne was complaining. “They’re going too far. How could they give us such a small lounge? You’re still an A-list actress. In the past, you were the apple of everyone’s eye.”
“Don’t say that. Many people would pay just to join Director Cheever’s crew, ” Eliza said faintly.
“But you didn’t want to join. It was the company who arranged for you to play the supporting female role,” Leanne fumed. “The second female lead is purely to act as a foil to Cindy. Why should you be her foil? She’s not as beautiful as you are and her acting skills aren’t as good as yours either. Why don’t we stop acting in this film? Don’t suffer through this.”
Eliza smiled helplessly, “Is this considered suffering? Did you forget how everyone only rolled their eyes at me when I wasn’t popular in the past? I even had to do my own makeup, and I stayed in small hotels.”
Leanne gritted her teeth. “But your status is different now. There’s clearly someone trying to ostracise you. You should have told Young Master Jewell earlier that you weren’t late on purpose. It’s because the crew arranged for you to stay at the most remote hotel. It takes 4o minutes to get here by car, but this morning, the car’s tire got punctured. We couldn’t get a taxi and had to walk all the way here.”
Eliza’s expression was helpless. How would she say it?
It was obvious that the person behind this was Cindy.
Most likely, Cindy became jealous after she saw how Eliza came out of the office with disheveled clothes last time and found out that only Chester was inside.
Leanne continued to complain, “Also, no one in the crew called us to tell us that we had to get your makeup done before arriving. No one came to do the makeup either. It’s baffling.”
“Go talk to the costume team later. Stop talking about it now. Someone’s coming.”
Eliza reminded her.
Soon, the stylist came in. After an hour, Eliza looked at the styling and frowned.
Leanne could not hold back any longer. “That style is horrendous. You’re making Eliza look old. It’s like she’s a maid.”
The stylist was unhappy when she heard the words. “What does that mean? I studied this shape for more than a month before coming up with it. You can’t blame me for that. The main problem is her face.”
“Hah. Eliza has played in so many dramas and everyone on the Internet praises her for her beauty. It’s your face that’s the problem, ” Leanne said angrily. “We’re not asking you to make her stunning, but you can’t make her this ugly. You’ll affect her filming career in the future.”
“This film isn’t meant to portray how beautiful she is. She’s just the supporting female lead. If she’s too beautiful, what about the heroine? Some actors deliberately dress up as ugly and sacrifice their image in order to perform their roles. If Eliza can’t do that, then it won’t work. Why doesn’t she go play in an idol drama instead?”
The stylist said with a cold face, “If you’re not satisfied with me, tell the director and get someone else.”
Then, she left straight away.
“This is driving me mad. They’re doing this on purpose. I’ll ask the other stylists if they can change it,” Leanne went out.
Eliza looked at herself in the mirror quietly.
Then, she removed the hairpin, undid the bun on her head, and combed her hair back with the comb, revealing her white and supple face.
After fixing her hair, she picked up the eyebrow pencil and drew crescent-shaped eyebrows. Her eyes were like stars, and her lips were red and luscious.
After everything was done, she put down the lipstick.
When she turned around, she saw Chester standing at the door. The man’s figure was tall and scholarly, but the smile on his handsome face looked slightly wicked.
Eliza frowned. She did not know how long he had been standing there. “Young Master Jewell, you’re a t the wrong place. Cindy’s lounge isn’t here.”
” I didn’t know that you’re quite good at styling, ” Chester had been standing there since she started working on her hair.
He saw her fingers nimbly weaving in and out of the hair at the back of her head as if she had eyes there.
This woman knew where her beauty was. It was a very simple hairstyle, but it was enough to emphasize her exquisite and refined face. He did not know a woman in a costume could look so beautiful.
” I can’t help it. Someone bribed the stylist and is deliberately working against me, so I have to fend for myself, ” Eliza said indifferently, as if she was talking about a matter that was inconsequential to her.
“Are you saying that Cindy did it?” Chester looked a t her, his dark eyes showing a slight sneer. “Are you complaining to me?”
Eliza frowned.
She could not figure out what Chester meant by that. Was he condemning her for talking about Cindy?
Or was he reminding her that Cindy was his woman, and she had no right to talk about Cindy?
“Whatever you think it is. In any case, I can handle myself. ” Eliza stood up and said, “Young Master Jewell, could you leave? I want to close the door and change my clothes.”
“Are you angry because I didn’t help you?” Not only did Chester not intend to leave, but he also braced himself against the door and his thin lips curled in rumination.
