“Here’s a gift for you.” Winnie walked over to Skylar’s side while she was doing her eye makeup.
Skylar opened her eyes and saw a book tied with a red ribbon left on the makeup table. It was the novel of the drama they were acting in.
At that moment, Skylar felt narrow-minded as she began to doubt Winnie’s true intention behind that gift. Was it to show me who the real female lead was?
Skylar held the book up and looked at Winnie. “Thank you for the book, but I don’t have time for reading.”
Winnie raised her brows. “It only took me two days to finish. I love the female lead in the book. She’s pure-hearted with a strong mind. The book described her as petite, bright-eyed, and has a beautifully sculptured face. She was like a milk candy – you could smell her sweet innocent scent from far.”
Winnie was basically self-praising. No wonder there was a sickening strong smell of milk candy when she stood beside me earlier.
Skylar lowered her head to use her phone as she did not want to deal with Winnie. “That’s too bad then cause you are very similar to the female lead character. Even the netizens agree.”
Winnie replied humbly, “N-no! Don’t listen to those netizens. Maybe the director wanted to portray her in a different style.”
Skylar shrugged her shoulders and said, “No matter what they say, I was chosen to be the female lead by the director and the crew. If you feel that you should be the female lead instead, please tell them directly instead of doing all these to hint me.”
Winnie froze and her face fell. She turned and left.
She was mad – she threw the glass bottle of artisan water that Connie passed her. It shattered into many tiny pieces.
She bit her lips and muttered, “She’s just showing off that the director and the crew had her back.”
“Exactly! The director will surely regret it. Just look at your popularity!” Connie added.
After Winnie left, Skylar gifted the book to Hannah.
That day’s filming was exceptionally smooth. Skylar’s scene with Harry ended in one shot. Harry was a true professional, and Skylar admired his adaptability.
Since that day Vensa gave Harry some feedback, she improved significantly and had maintained that standard of acting.
As they were near the end of the shoot, the director requested one more scene that needed to be shot outdoors.
The venue was at Ford Group, right smack in the middle of the Central Business District.
They sent in several requests previously but were all rejected. When they heard that Ford Group finally accepted the request, it felt like they had won the lotto.
They took a bus there. Skylar shut her eyes to keep her eyes well-rested and overheard Connie’s conversation with the crew.
They were really loud, as Skylar could hear them clearly even with her earpiece on.
“The reason Ford Group allowed us to film there was due to Winnie. Who else could beat her popularity?”
“The previous team that I was with requested for a whole month to no avail,” one of the crew added.
“Well, it’s all thanks to our dear Winnie. She’s so capable that she didn’t even need to send in a request.” Connie spoke louder as if she feared that no one could hear her.
