Julian saw Kylie approaching, and he hurriedly called her over to the lounge. "Kylie, sit down here, please.""Director Johnson, I" m sorry for all the trouble..." Kylie apologized sincerely, looking ashamed.
When seeing her gaunt face, Julian"s heart ached. "Don"t be disturbed by the mess, and the entertainment industry is not always peaceful. You are trustworthy. Your portrayal of this character is by far the best I have seen."
"Thank you for your affirmation." Kylie highly appreciated that Julian was willing to support her at this time.
"However, this time, public opinion is very important. You look tired. You must not have slept well last night. Would you like to go home and sleep off your mood? When this is over, you can start to work again?" Julian suggested.
Kylie quickly waved her hand. "I"m fine, director. I have new scenes. If I stop working, it will affect me even more. When the time comes, you won"t be able to say that the investor is not satisfied."
Since she was very considerate about the situation, Julian nodded with satisfaction and said: "OK, You can start your work. But if it gets to be too much, you must take a vacation."
After the director left, Kylie headed to the bathroom to fix up her makeup.
She had been wearing heavy, gaunt makeup. But after such a long time, it would be sure to be looking off. But as she walked towards the washroom door, someone pulled her into the men"s washroom.
"How did you become like this?" someone said, sounding worried. They tried to touch her face, but the hand was slapped away.
"Are you trying to ruin me, pulling me like this into the men"s washroom?" Kylie turned and tried to leave, but she was pulled back again.
"Did I hurt you?"
"Never mind." Kylie rubbed her arm. It was scratched, but not bleeding.
William was anxious. "I wanted to clarify, but John stopped me. He was worried that I was being asked questions about the black girl. It would cause even more trouble if somebody found out that you"re the girl in the video."
Kylie punched him hard in the chest. "He is smarter than you."
With a pained look on his face, William said: "If you hadn"t agreed, I would have announced our relationship."
Kylie glanced at him. "Just go ahead, if you"re not afraid of your uncle."
"You..." William looked heartbroken.
Kylie simply put on her makeup in the men"s washroom. And before she left, she turned to William and said: "By the way, no matter what you see later on—don"t worry about it and leave me alone, do you understand?"
"Leave you alone? Do you think that I can watch you flirting with other men without doing anything? I am the most handsome man in the crew. Please flirt with me; don"t flirt and hurt others."
"Get out of my face."
That was the start of a really bad day.
There were even a few scenes that Kylie had to shoot with Lily.
Kylie had been off to the side, learning her lines, when she had heard an arrogant and squeaky voice behind her.
It was Lily, speaking, with a gloating expression on her face. "Oh, it"s you. You are now the most famous internet celebrity...You really have no shame."
If Kylie got into any arguments on set, the director would definitely ask her to leave. She had no other choice but to look towards William, in an escape from Lily"s glare.
Kylie crumpled the script in her hand and closed her lips. She looked embarra.s.sed and lonely.
Upon seeing her expression, Lily became even more proud. She put her hands on her hips and walked towards William. "Mr. Woolf, you"d better not appear on TV with her. She might disgrace you. Your fan group argued a lot about it yesterday."
As soon as she approached, his vicinity was taken over by the pungent smell of her perfume. William frowned, turning his face. He wanted her to leave, but when he saw that Kylie was watching, he decided to tolerate Lily.
Lily noticed that he wasn"t in a good mood, and she a.s.sumed that he was upset because of the Instagram video. So, she became even more considerate and walked forwards.
"Mr. Woolf, I know that you are stressed about this, but you don"t have to worry about it… Kylie will quit the show when she can no longer handle the pressures of public opinion."
"Be Quiet." William couldn"t bear it, but he continued to subdue his temper. "I"m learning my lines."
"I"m sorry. I"ll leave you alone." Lily was somewhat embarra.s.sed.
But no matter what, she told herself, she was the best newcomer actress of the year. Still, when she actively tried to talk with him, he continued to look cold and indifferent.
However, she quickly comforted herself. When Kylie left the crew, she would ask her sugar daddy for some additional investments, which could help her more scenes with William.
At the thought of shooting a scene with William, of them being face to face, looking closely into each others" eyes, Lily"s heart began to beat fast.
What the h.e.l.l?! Kylie had a bad reputation, so why was the director still allowing her to continue with her work?
If Kylie continued to be in the picture, they might not be able to broadcast it yet. It was a waste of time and money.
Still, Lily loved today"s rivalry scenes.
There was a scene in which she had to push Kylie down from a horse, at which point she deliberately used her strength... Since Kylie refused to take the initiative to leave the crew, Lily had to help her out.
"Director, I think in this scene, it will be more realistic to push her down, what do you say?" Lily, who never appeared behind the scenes, this time chose to stand directly behind Julian.
Julian has seen so many disputes between actors. He said, with a gloomy face: "Just shake her clothes a little."
"Got it," Lily said, all the while making up her mind to push Kylie down from the horse, in order to teach her a lesson.
Anyway, she was good at doing this kind of evil thing without too many people realizing her intentions. Once, she had hidden a needle inside the soul of an actress"s shoe, who resultantly suffered for a whole day of acting.
