The Woman From Hell

"How did you end up getting locked in here? You made me worried sick." Marius' brows furrowed together as worry filled his dark eyes.

I knew Marius was worried. Just when I wanted to explain, he beat me to it. "It was Zoey, wasn't it?"

His expression was severe, and I could tell at a glance that he was pissed.

"Yeah. She asked me to bring her clothes here, and I realized the door was locked the moment it closed," I explained roughly.

"So it is." Marius sneered. His attitude toward Zoey had not been that good these few days either. His disgust had been accumulating until today, and it was about to blow up now. "I asked in the group just now where you and she pretended to be pitiful."

Seeing that Marius was nearly enraged, I was afraid that he would do something impulsive, leading to unpredictable consequences. I quickly patted his hand. "Just endure it for a bit, yeah? It's better not to cause more trouble before the filming is over. It won't do us any good."

He knew I had a point, and the anger on his face subsided by some.

Zoey had been very gallant toward Marius every day for the past few days. Anyone with eyes could see it.

Yet anyone with a brain also knew that Zoey's enthusiasm was wasted on Marius.

The others naturally felt dissatisfied with Zoey when they saw this.

Of course, I, who had been locked up here for so long, was also dissatisfied. However, I could only endure it when I thought of the advertisement.

"We're not under another's control, so we can't act rashly," I persuaded again.

Hearing what I said, Marius' anger extinguished wholly, his eyes filled with distress when he looked at me.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"But Wanda..."

"No buts. It's just a small setback. I'm not that weak." I smiled and patted him on the shoulder. I rounded past him and exited the bathroom. "You definitely haven't eaten yet since you came looking for me, yeah? Let's go, dinner's on me."

I took Marius to dinner and more or less tamped down on his thoughts about getting revenge on Zoey.

Shooting went on as usual the next day. Zoey also made trouble for me as usual.

"Wanda! Move a little, you're blocking the makeup artist's light!" Zoey yelled all of a sudden. The make-up artist next to her was also baffled.

I was standing three meters and was stumped, thinking that Zoey was really trying to find fault with me.

"Ah, right right." I echoed perfunctorily and then moved a little further.

What the heck?

My brows twitched, and I felt disgusted when I saw Zoey's drama queen look. I simply sat next to the director and watched the cameraman as they adjusted the equipment.

If it was not for the Hyperspace partnership, I would have immediately kicked Zoey out.

Marius probably went to bed late last night after sorting out the documents. He only just arrived now. He waved and greeted me while he was still a few meters away. "Sis Wan!" He was smiling brightly, and I felt much better when I saw his smile. "Good morning."

It was supposed to be a harmonious atmosphere, but Zoey's phony voice entered the ears of everyone present in the next second.

"Marius! Good morning!" Zoey pushed the makeup artist away, smiling charmingly in a conceited manner.

The makeup artist's eyebrow pencil instantly drew a line across Zoey's brows after being pushed like that.

It was a shame that Zoey was so obsessed with Marius that she did not notice that anything was wrong.

Marius' brows twitched. One could tell that he felt really unlucky. He walked toward me without saying a word.

That stroke from the make-up artist was really magical. I saw the disappointment on Zoey's comical face and could not help but want to laugh.
