Chapter 591 Fights
Skylar recalled seeing Kate and Amelia wearing couple rings and that had deepened her suspicion. There were some shocking dark sides of the entertainment industry where people would pretend to be queer in order to get what they wanted.
She continued saying, “I can’t always appear to have it all, can I? Previously, Amelia had never had any endorsement deals, not even for an electric bicycle. So, it’s not surprising to give this contract to her now.”
Hannah fretted. “I’m afraid Amelia will replace your status in the industry. You know, the Golden Eagle Awards is just around the corner. Amelia is getting some high-end labels to customize her gown, but there’s no news from your sponsors yet. How are you going to beat her on the red carpet?”
Right then, the director had started urging everyone on set to take their places and get ready. Swiftly, Skylar buttoned up while Maxim lay on the bed with a casted food.
Skylar took the props handed to her. It was a basket filled with two cans of fruits, yellow peach, and hawthorn.
In the past, those were the standard must-bring items when visiting a patient. Now, it was expected for visitors to add a card or a love gift as an additional courtesy.
Maxim was sent to the hospital due to an injury that occurred during a basketball match. He was cared for by his childhood sweetheart, Renee Crowe, played by Ingrid.
Skylar played the female lead character, Lindsay, who was jealous when she saw Maxim and Renee showing affection to each other. Lindsay forced Maxim to choose between the two women and the man chose love.
“Action!” yelled the director.
Within a split second, Skylar had entered into her role. Batting her entrancing eyes and dressed in a pompous manner, she made the b*tchy character come alive.
Except for Ingrid, everyone who was present on-set thought that Skylar was extremely gorgeous. She was nothing like the newbies who were amateurish in their acting and coy about their appearances. Her demeanor and mannerisms were beyond her age.
That was probably why people say, “A child from a poor family often matures at an early age.”
Ingrid stared at Skylar blankly. I guess I know now why Tobias has stayed with her for such a long time. She has an exceptional physical appearance… Ingrid turned green with envy.
Throughout the shoot, Ingrid had to repeat multiple takes of each scene because the director was not satisfied with her articulation. He was seriously considering dubbing her voice, but Ingrid insisted otherwise. She felt that her intonation was better.
Due to the fact that Ingrid invested in the production of the filming, the director acquiesced to her demand.
After eating the canned fruits umpteen times throughout the series of failed scenes, Maxim had been going back and forth, to and from the bathroom a few times. He complained, “Director, I can’t do this anymore. I’m going to suffer from a stomachache.”
Skylar observed from a distance and checked the time on the wall clock on and off. If this drags on, I won’t be able to get off work on time to meet with Miranda.
Knitting her brows, Ingrid threw a tantrum and reprimanded Skylar, “Can you speak more slowly? You need to give me time to respond.”
Skylar pointed at herself and questioned, “Are you implying that it’s my fault?”
“If it’s not you, then who? Do be more professional and don’t delay others.” Ingrid cast a look of haughty disdain.
Skylar was rendered speechless. She recalled a reminder from Tobias to keep her distance from Ingrid. He told me that Ingrid isn’t doing well mentally and emotionally. Seems like she’s having it worse than Cassidy.
Faced with Ingrid’s appalling behavior, Skylar could not be bothered to argue with her. One shouldn’t lose one’s dignity and self-worth by engaging in meaningless fights with a fool. Karma will hit her one day for all the outrageous things that she’s done.
