My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 276: Quit The Showbiz 

"It's okay!" Wendy agreed without hesitation.She had been staying at the hospital recently doing nothing but wait for Raymond to recover.

‘If I'm busy with other things, my mind won't be filled with nonsensical things, ‘ she thought.

Since she didn't have many scenes left, it wouldn't take long for her to finish the shooting.It was advantageous for her since she would have more time to accompany Raymond in the future.

"That's great.Then it's decided.Wendy, after your shooting today, you'll go back to pack up."

"Okay."

Carter was more satisfied with Wendy.

Because of the recent news, Wendy's popularity had skyrocketed.She was one of the most trending actresses right now.

Lots of opportunities were waiting for her, including variety shows and interviews.

If she chose to take them, she would certainly become very busy.

When she signed the contract to play in the Story of Concubine Ivanka, she got paid similar to what the newcomers were getting.

In contrast, the money she would get from a variety show would be a lot more.

Because of that, Carter was afraid that Wendy would refuse his request.

He never expected that she would agree without hesitation, which meant she was likely to put aside all other work and focus on shooting this play. He was surprised that Wendy could stay true to her heart despite the temptation of fame and fortune right in front of her.

He had always thought highly of her, but more so now.

"Okay.Let's get ready for today's shooting," Carter said to everyone present.

"Sure!"

After a while, Carter left.

The next scene to be filmed was Daisy and Mason's.

Both of them quickly practiced their lines with each other.

After them, only Odette and Wendy were left. Wendy nodded at her and pulled a small stool where she sat down.She began to silently recite her lines written on the script.

Suddenly, a figure stood in front of her.

When Wendy raised her head, she saw Odette looking at her inquisitively.She was wearing a denim coat and a pair of casual pants.

Her hair was tied into a ponytail, which made it hard to tell that she was in her early thirties.

She looked like someone who had just graduated from college.

‘Why is she looking at me like that?’ Out of courtesy, Wendy nodded at her.

"Miss Finch, I've heard a lot about you."

Odette reached out her hand, which stunned Wendy for a moment.

She held Odette's hand politely and, in a self- deprecating tone, said, "My reputation really isn't worth mentioning..."

The two of them shook hands and separated as soon as they touched each other.

Odette sat down beside Wendy.

Her assistant immediately opened the sunshade to shield her from the sunlight.She tilted her head and kept staring at Wendy without blinking.

Odette's stare was so intense and persistent that it was hard to ignore.

Wendy sighed, closed her script, and asked, "Miss Haska, is there something you'd like to say to me?"

Odette shook her head.

"I'm just curious about you.".

"What are you curious about?" Odette smiled but said nothing.

Wendy took a breath and tried to calm herself down.

This interaction completely changed her impression of Odette.She didn't like her now.

‘She's so strange! Although we're in the same company, we've neither known nor seen each other before.From what I know, she's one of the company's top stars.Why is she paying so much attention to me? And her eyes...I don't sense any malice in them, and yet they're making me feel a little uncomfortable.” Wendy's intuition told her that Odette was hostile to her.

‘This is the first time we've met! Why is she being so hostile to me?’ Wendy couldn't figure it out, but did not press to find out more about it.

As long as Odette didn't cause her any trouble, she would have no need to provoke her.

Wendy lowered her head and continued reading her script, ignoring Odette in the process.

However, Odette's attention towards her did not falter.

"Miss Finch, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you," Wendy replied coldly without raising her head.

Watching this interaction, Odette's assistant took a step forward and was about to scold Wendy before she was stopped by Odette.

Odette stood up from her seat and said, "I hope we'll enjoy our cooperation.I won't disturb you anymore.Goodbye."

Wendy nodded.

Once she was gone, Wendy frowned.

‘‘She looks very kind and amiable.But I don't think it's that simple.She entered the entertainment industry at the age of sixteen and stayed there for sixteen years.She must be a smart woman to achieve her current status. Alas! Eris might be gone, but here comes Odette and her hostility!’’

Thinking about it just made Wendy exhale a heavy sigh.

‘All I want is to shoot and pour my heart out during my scene.Why does trouble keep coming my way?’’

On the other hand, Eris was standing in front of the mirror, drawing the last line of her eyebrows.She had just finished changing her clothes.

Once she was done, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.

However, her eyes looked blank and vacant.

Her apartment was robbed! She called the police, and because of the huge loss she garnered, the police treated her case with utmost importance.

However, since the apartment was close to the suburb and there were only a few CCTV cameras, it was not an easy thing to find the thief.

The police recorded her statement and asked her to come back to wait for the news. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Eris sneered.

‘Wait for the news, you say.Ha! That's just an excuse.I know that I won't be getting anything in the end"

The thought of all the luxury goods she had accumulated over the years being instantly gone made her heart ache.

‘I've got no money! No job! And now, all of my valuables were stolen!’

The only things she had now were the apartment left by her parents and the two cars she owned.

In order to make a living, she started advertising that her apartment was for sale.She also managed to sell one of her cars.

But because she sold it in such a hurry, she didn't get a good deal out of it.

Normally, she wouldn't sell it.

But because she was short on money, she had no other choice.She looked at herself in the mirror and made sure that she looked good.

Once she was satisfied, she headed out.

Today, she made an appointment with many reporters.She was going to hold her last press conference.

Forty minutes later, Eris drove to the press conference.She used to avoid reporters, but now, she was the one inviting them.

The irony of it all made her snort in derision.

As soon as Eris arrived at the scene, reporters flocked towards her from all sides.It didn't take long for her to be completely surrounded

"Eris, do you want to prove your innocence by holding this press conference today?"

"Do you know that the director of the Story of Concubine Ivanka has issued a statement saying that you've been replaced as the leading actress, and now, the actress taking the role of Lady Ivanka is Odette? Do you have anything to say about that?"

"Eris, are you here to repent?"

Eris “..."

The reporters threw all of their questions simultaneously.

Normally, Eris would have security guards to shield her from them.

But right now, she couldn't afford such a luxury.

She only asked people to set up a simple open-air stage, and then put a table in the center filled with microphones from various media outlets.

The reporters were so unruly that Eris ended up being pushed onto the stage by them.

"Everyone, be quiet.Please listen to me," Eris said to the microphones.

Her voice was heard all over the place, but reporters continued throwing their questions at her.

When she saw that the reporters were ignoring her, Eris pressed her lips and declared in a loud voice, "Today, I called you to officially announce that I quit the showbiz today!"

It worked.

Those words managed to catch everyone's attention.

The reporters, who had been so noisy the entire time, were all stunned in silence as soon as they heard the announcement.
