She’d boasted to her classmates that she was going to be filming a drama. If they found out that she had been kicked out, she would no longer have a place to stand in school.
Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “Whatever I say?”
“Yes, yes!”
After flipping through a few pages of the script, Elspeth noticed that the girl was playing an antagonist who was trying to end her life by taking pills. “This won’t do. Since she’s so eager to present herself, make her fall into the lake.”
The girl’s face immediately turned white as a sheet.
“If I fall into the lake in this weather, I might catch a cold…” she stammered, clearly frightened.
However, Elspeth only raised an eyebrow with an expression full of doubt. “What, didn’t you just say that you’d do whatever I say? Why are you unwilling to do something as simple as jumping into a lake now?”
At her words, the girl immediately wailed noisily, nearly falling to her knees in desperation as she pleaded, “I’m sorry, Miss Lynwood! I won’t do it again! Please don’t make me jump into the lake!”
Elspeth looked at the assistant who was whispering in Aiden’s ear earlier and noticed that he was avoiding her gaze. Hence, she asked with a smile, “Mr. Assistant, is there anyone else who would suit this character?”
The assistant had been bribed by the girl and was about to decline, but after meeting Elspeth’s sharp gaze, he hurriedly nodded in fright.
“Yes, yes, of course there is.”
After saying that, he pulled someone out from the crowd of actors. The girl was young with red lips and a seductive face, making her perfect for the role of an antagonistic woman.
“Haven’t we got someone here? She looks better than this crooked-faced girl.”
Elspeth glanced at the trembling girl nearby and said indifferently, “Miss, please leave the filming set right now.”
With one sentence, she easily ended the girl’s fate.
A look of hatred flashed past the girl’s eyes. After shooting a fierce look at Elspeth, she left in a huff.
Upon seeing how tactful Elspeth was to take care of such a huge problem on his behalf, Aiden suddenly felt glad that they were working with Luminous Entertainment.
The filming proceeded as usual, and as everyone knew that the investor was here to supervise the work, there were no more disturbances. Soon, it was noon, and Yelena came to look for Elspeth after changing out of her costume. They had been given a two-hour break, so she decided to take Elspeth for a stroll.
“Since it’s your first time working at a place like this, I’ll take you out for a spin. Actually, if we ignore the filming, this place really isn’t bad at all.”
Elspeth knew that this place was specially built for the purpose of filming, but she did not understand it. However, once she went out, she was met with an antique building across the street. It was a rather… unique sight.
Upon seeing her interest, Yelena took her straight inside. In the building, a historical drama was in the works, and both the male and female leads were dressed beautifully. Yelena had not been aware, but when she saw the people who were currently drinking water inside, her face immediately darkened.
“Let’s go somewhere else! I don’t think we should stay here!”
Elspeth felt dubious after seeing her expression change instantly, but she instantly understood after taking a look at the people inside. It really was a small world—they had bumped into Emma.
“Why not? She’s not the one who bought this piece of land, so why can’t we stay here and have a look?”
As long as she didn’t affect Emma’s filming, Elspeth thought it wouldn’t be a problem even if she took a nap in the building.
Yelena pouted. “It’s mostly because I keep recalling what she said last night whenever I see her. What’s she boasting about? She’s not even his official girlfriend, so what is she being so proud of?”
