Ning Ran woke up the next morning to see that the two rascals had already woken up and made her breakfast.
Breakfast was simple – two lukewarm toasts with two slightly powdered eggs.
“We made you this lovely breakfast to wish you a great first day. You’re the best, mommy.”
Erbao pulled up a chair and invited Ning Ran to take a seat.
Ning Ran looked away in an attempt to keep her tears in.
“You two must be exhausted from waking up so early and preparing this breakfast,” said Ning Ran warmly.
Two little heads shook like rattle-drums as the duo said, “Nope, not tired at all.”
“You two are still young. You need to sleep in to grow up to be big and healthy. Don’t wake up too early in the morning anymore, okay? Mommy will make my own breakfast,” Ning Ran said with a smile.
“Mommy is tired from working so you should sleep in. We’re not tired at all,” refuted Erbao.
Dabao nodded his head in agreement.
After breakfast, Ning Ran rushed to the movie set.
The female leads of the show – Luo Fei and Zhao Mingjie had already arrived when Ning Ran was still en route.
Luo Fei was a celebrity who usually came in late, but she came in early that day for some reason.
While preparing in the dressing room, Luo Fei signaled everyone except Zhao Mingjie to leave.
“Ms. Fei, do you have something you wish to talk to me about?” Zhao Mingjie asked cautiously.
Zhao Mingjie was a new singer with an average voice. After showcasing her sexy figure and provocative outfits in a couple of movies, Zhao Mingjie had become famous, but that was nothing compared to Luo Fei’s fame.
“Mingjie, I wanted to reserve the role of the second lead in this movie was supposed for you, but that b**** -Ding Mi – showed up all of a sudden and took what was yours,” Luo Fei told Zhao Mingjie.
Zhao Mingjie’s eyes started to fill up with hatred.
“The truth is, your acting skills are better, and as one of the sexiest women in the show biz, your body figure is better too. The role of the second lead should’ve been yours. I was rooting for you,” said Luo Fei as she observed the change in Zhao Mingjie’s facial expression.
“Ms. Fei, the role of the second lead has been given to her so I could only play the third lead,” said Zhao Mingjie in a frustrated tone.
“So you’re just going to admit defeat like that? I feel bad for you,” said Luo Fei coldly.
“But there is nothing I can do either. After all, the director had given his orders.”
“Mingjie, do you trust me?” asked Luo Fei as she looked into Zhao Mingjie’s eyes.
“Of course I trust you, Ms. Fei. You’ve always been my role model.”
“Okay, then do exactly what I say, and you will be able to take back the role of the second lead.”
Zhao Mingjie’s eyes shone as she said, “Really?”
“Of course.”
Luo Fei scanned her surrounding to make sure that no one else is around. Then, she fished out a bottle of ointment.
“That b**** Ding Mi always takes advantage of her beauty and does not normally wear make-up so she’s probably not going to put on make-up at home.
“We’ll put on our make-up first then pour the ointment into the remaining make-up. Her face will be all red and swollen like a pig after using that make-up.”
“Just think about it. Today’s the first day of work. They can’t shoot the movie if the second lead actress is all swollen like a pig.”
“That’s when I’ll recommend changing the role of the second lead, and you will be able to replace her!” explained Luo Fei darkly.
“What is that?” Zhao Mingjie asked because she felt a little guilty about it. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Don’t worry about that. Just tell me, are you in or out? If you’re out, then be a good girl and play the third lead honestly while letting that b**** bully you.”
“Let’s do it!” Zhao Mingjie said with determination.
