Chapter 605 The Odor Of The Costumes
Deep down, Laurel snorted sorrowfully. If I were from a wealthy and prestigious family, Gavin would be marrying another woman.
Meanwhile, Skylar had already finished the hot chocolate. Initially, she thought of notifying Tobias that she had to stay back to work overtime with the filming crew at night.
Nevertheless, she held herself back after pondering for a while. After all, he had never asked her anything when she worked overtime with the filming crew previously. Hmph! What an uncaring boyfriend!
Moments later, Hannah was seen carrying bags of various sizes containing costumes sent by the fashion designer. Feeling exhausted and out of breath, she shot Laurel a look of sheer indignance. Why should I be the one rushing here and there while she’s savoring her hot chocolate here?
The moment she approached Skylar with the bags, Skylar’s nose caught a whiff of an odor. She instinctively bent down to sniff the bags one by one and discovered that the odor was from the costumes. It seemed like those were someone’s unwanted old costumes thrown aside for ages.
Perplexed, she asked right away, “Are these new costumes?”
Hannah ran off to double-check with the particular person in charge and rushed back in a short while to explain breathlessly, “The costume section explained that these are the costumes that the filming crew prepared for actresses of previous movies. Mr. Lynch pointed out that this set of costumes is meant to be for you. According to him, it matches your body size as though it was custom-made for you, so alteration is unnecessary.”
Skylar took out the set of costumes mentioned by Hannah and grimaced at the odor that seemed to have become stronger. She sneered in dismay, “It never occurred to me that the filming crew would try to cut
down their expenses this way. I bet it’s unbelievable to others that even the costumes worn by a female lead are old ones!”
Hannah drew closer and whispered into Skylar’s ear, “I heard that Ingrid Ford should be the one wearing this set of costumes, but she couldn’t fit into them. Thus, she asked someone to alter the set of costumes initially prepared for you by the filming crew. She’s now wearing your costumes instead.”
Skylar got all riled up and glowered ferociously at Ingrid, who was in a scene with Maxim. The latter had obviously squeezed herself into the female lead’s costume. The blouse was gaping, and the two buttons above her chest looked as if they would pop out at any moment. Apart from that, her tire belly was utterly visible.
In a split second, Skylar even felt that the hot chocolate she savored a while ago was not sweet anymore. She reminded herself to be on a strict diet, fearing that she would end up putting on weight like Ingrid.
Her temper flaring, Skylar tossed the costumes back into the bag. After wiping her hands with wet tissue, she instructed, “Tell them that I refuse to wear it for fear that I’ll have an allergy. They shouldn’t ask me to wear old costumes with the odor of someone’s sweat. Since others have new costumes, why should I give in to wearing old ones?”
Hannah knitted her brows and stated indignantly, “Ingrid Ford insisted on wearing your clothes. After all, her elder brother is the producer of this movie, and nobody in the filming crew dares to step on her toes. She’s a typical socialite trying to ‘experience life’ her way here!”
An infuriated Skylar refused to compromise. She realized the others would continue to take advantage of her if she went with the flow all the time.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
When Shay overheard that Skylar refused to give in, he unplugged his earphones and rushed over to talk her into changing her mind. “Mdm. Skylar, all the clothes are the same to match the movie background set in the eighties. Just spray some perfume to get rid of the smell, okay? Why make such a big fuss? The props crew has made a mistake, and we’re racing against the time. Could you please be more tolerant?”
Skylar pointed at the collar of the costumes and fumed, “My goodness! Don’t you see the disgusting stain on the collar? How could you pester me into wearing it? Where is the fairness? Do I deserve to wear old costumes just because I’m usually the one to relent?”
Rendered speechless, Shay could only try to talk things out with Ingrid. He was numb to the politics among actresses at the filming site throughout the years. However, that was the first time he came across actresses fighting over costumes.
Needless to say, Ingrid was not easy to deal with either. She insisted on snatching everything given to Skylar by the filming crew. Subsequently, the duo blew things out of proportion unendingly.
Paying no heed to Shay’s request, Ingrid raised her voice disdainfully. “Pfft! Why should I take off the costumes? Can she fit herself in it? Look at how skinny and flat-chested she is!”
