Chapter 90
The luxurious room was just as comfortable as her own home. Even the washroom was well-equipped with essential toiletries. She found the service of the hotel to be very attentive.
Angeline was happy with her living condition and nodded with satisfaction. She could finally stay there and complete the shooting of the film in peace.
After putting her luggage away, Angeline did not even lie down for a rest. Instead, she returned to the set.
“Angeline!” Derek was watching a bunch of monitors when he spotted her and quickly greeted her. “Why didn’t you rest in your room for a while more? I’ve already arranged for your scenes to be pushed back. It’s all right if we shoot tomorrow too!”
Upon hearing Derek, Angeline looked apologetic. His words sent a warm feeling through her.
“It’s all right. I’ve already caused a delay in the shooting for the past few days, and I feel very bad about it. I’ll try my best to make up for the delay.”
Angeline gave Derek a bow. After all, it was too kind for a huge film crew such as that to push back the filming because of her.
Derek helped her up and said patiently, “Please don’t do this. You should thank Mr. Golding instead. He’s the one who promised to compensate the film crew for the delay.”
Angeline was surprised. Evander? Why would he do something unnecessary like this? This isn’t his style.
Since Angeline wanted to start filming, Derek was more than happy to oblige and immediately arranged for her scene to be set up.
Originally, the current filming slot was meant for Denise. Now that it had been taken by Angeline, Denise’s slot would have to be pushed back to the afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly. One could imagine how torturous it would be to wait so long in that condition.
When Denise received the news, she stomped her feet in anger. Since she dared not question Derek, she decided to direct all of her frustration to Angeline instead.
D*mn it! I thought she was supposed to stop filming? How can her scandal be squashed so soon?
Angeline was getting her makeup done in the dressing room. She was holding her script in one hand and a glass of water in the other.
The moment Denise walked in and saw that leisurely look on Angeline’s face, it made her even more furious.
She picked up the makeup remover and poured the whole bottle into Angeline’s glass.
The hot water started bubbling before a few drops splashed onto Angeline’s hand.
Angeline winced in pain and turned to glare at Denise.
Sensing the impending war, the makeup artist excused himself and left the dressing room.
When Denise saw that she was alone with Angeline, she became bolder.
“What are you staring at? Angeline, you’re really capable, aren’t you? Even when you know that the next filming slot is mine, you still snatched it away from me!”
Denise was infuriated. She had been keeping a lid on her anger for so long. Not only had Angeline stolen the endorsement deal from her, but she had also caused Denise to become a supporting role in
the movie. There was not a single day when Denise did not hate her.
“Is it? I really had no idea.” Angeline sounded extremely nonchalant. She glanced coldly at Denise. “Lucky for me then. I just love to steal your things!”
“You wh*re! I wonder how many times you’ve slept with Mr. McKenna for him to be so biased toward you. How disgusting can you get!”
Denise was so enraged by what Angeline had said that she raised her hand and was about to give Angeline a slap.
At that critical moment, Angeline picked up the glass of water and threw it on Denise’s face.
“Ah! It hurts!” Denise groaned in pain as she covered her eyes.
The makeup remover stung her eyes badly. For a moment, she was unable to find any tissue, so she used her loosely-fitted costume to wipe her eyes. As a result, she smudged her heavy makeup and looked frightening.
In a way, she suffered the consequences of her own action.
Angeline decided to ignore her and took out a tube of lipstick from her bag. As she looked into the mirror to touch up her makeup, she warned Denise, “Ms. Campbell, I suggest you watch what you say. There are so many surveillance cameras pointing at us. If you get sued for defamation, you may not be able to continue working in the entertainment industry.”
Upon hearing her warning, Denise appeared guilty. She looked up at the ceiling and said, “What? You’re a shameless homewrecker, so why can’t I say it? Mr. McKenna should get a good look at your true colors. Let me remind you that his wife isn’t a pushover. If she finds out that you’re seducing her husband, you’ll be in trouble.”
Click. Angeline closed her lipstick and began to walk toward Denise with a grim expression all of a sudden.
“You can’t do your job well, but you are certainly the best at spreading rumors.”
“Am I wrong? Otherwise, why would Mr. McKenna allow the film crew to stop shooting because of you? If you haven’t slept—”
Bang!
Before Denise could finish her sentence, Derek barged into the dressing room with a grim face.
“Is that right? Then, how come I know nothing about it? Why don’t you explain it to me?”
Denise was stunned to see Derek.
“Mr. McKenna, I wasn’t targeting you. It’s all because Angeline is a shameless woman—”
“I think you are the shameless one!” With that, Derek threw a newspaper at her face.
Denise took a look at the headline and saw photos of herself working as a bar hostess. Her heart sank.
“You did this, didn’t you?” Denise glared at Angeline with utmost hatred. Her hand that was holding the newspaper was trembling. It looked as if she was about to charge at Angeline.
Derek grabbed her and pushed her to the ground.
“B*tch! Get out of the set right now. I will get someone else to play Belladonna. You aren’t the only person who knows how to act.”
With that, Derek stomped out of the dressing room.
Angeline looked at Denise, who was sitting on the floor with a dumbfounded expression, and frowned. Despite that, she did not feel an ounce of sympathy.
Everything that happened is her own doing. If it weren’t because of her, I wouldn’t have so many problems.
However, now that Denise had become the scapegoat, her online scandal of her getting pregnant out of wedlock could finally be squashed completely. That way, she could concentrate on the filming of the movie.
The filming in the afternoon was completed without a hitch. It was as if Angeline understood Alleria’s character and style much more clearly. In fact, she finished all her scenes in one take. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Meanwhile, at the beauty salon, Joseline was lying down with her face covered with a facial mask. She was enjoying a massage from the beautician.
“Ms. Sorelle, your tummy looks so huge. It must be twins, right?”
Upon hearing that, Joseline could not help but smile. “I won’t dare to ask for that. As long as it’s a boy, that’s enough.”
“I’m sure it will be.”
When the beautician massaged the acupoints on her shoulders, she moaned with pleasure.
Knock! Knock!
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Joseline’s assistant walked in and informed her, “Ms. Campbell is waiting for you at the reception area. She insists on seeing you today.”
Joseline frowned with disdain when she heard Denise was looking for her.
“Get rid of her. I don’t want her to appear in front of me.”
