It seemed that Clara was unwilling to let it go so easily.
“I’m sorry, so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you!” The little girl in shorts was intimidated.
Clara was about to give this girl another slap when she got grabbed by the wrist.
She turned around and saw the actress.
Jessica Miller, who played a concubine in the drama. Although she was the third female lead, she weighed just as much as the second lead.
“Clara, my assistant displeased you? She’s young reckless. Please spare her for one time.”
Jessica then released her hand. Clara glanced at her contemptuously.
“I was wondering whose assistant she was. So it’s yours! You really should think twice before you hire an assistant.”
“You are right. But she’s new here and I’ll teach her how to behave herself.”
Jessica looked down at the juice sprinkled on the ground and said, “Clara, this juice is on me. I’ll buy you another one later.”
“You buy me another one?” Clara snorted coldly, “It’s boiling hot right now. I happen to have a glass of iced juice to quench my thirst, but this little girl broke it into pieces. How could you possibly compensate me with another one?”
“Besides, Clara just put on her makeup and she will have to redo it in a while.” Clara’s assistant on the side also had a look of contempt.
“Then…” Jessica didn’t know what to do at this point.
She had always been cautious, but in the end, she was just an unknown actress who was struggling to climb up the ladder. This third female lead was already the best role she had gotten.
The staff at the scene hurried over and whispered in Clara’s ear.
Clara immediately beamed with joy.
“Alright, alright. You tell her to watch out next time. I don’t want to waste more time on you!”
Clara left after this.
Jessica sighed and looked at the assistant who was still sobbing, April White.
“April, don’t cry. Go back to the hotel and wash up. Just rest for half the day and I’ll be fine by myself.”
April sobbed, “Jessica…”
“I know you are wronged, but this is how things work in this industry. Be careful in the future.”
April nodded.
“Go, buy yourself a bottle of ice water and apply it to your face. Otherwise, your face would be swollen.”
“Okay, got it.” April covered her face and left.
In Clara’s exclusive lounge
Sammy sat on the rattan chair and waited. He had seen everything that had just happened.
In a daze, he felt that Clara was a totally different person just now.
It was not the Clara that he knew!
The door opened, and Clara walked in with a smile, “Sammy! You came!”
Sammy stood up while Clara ran over and grabbed his arm, “Amazing! Did you bring me anything delicious?”
“Of course.” Sammy pointed at the boxes of various sizes on the table. Inside of them were all things that Clara loved.
Clara leaned on Sammy’s shoulder intimately, “Sammy, I know you are the best. You even brought my favorite pineapple pastry.”
“If you’re not busy, just sit down and take a rest.” Sammy smiled.
Clara nodded and sat down on the chair. She also pulled Sammy to sit down with her.
“I am shooting and can’t gain weight recently. But since you came all the way here to visit me, I’ll eat one!”
Meanwhile, Clara opened the box, took out a piece of pineapple pastry, and gently took a bite.
Sammy hesitated for a moment and went, “Clara, that little girl just accidentally spilled your juice. How could you hit her just for that?”
Hearing this, Clara slowed down.
She didn’t expect Sammy to see that.
“Well … Sammy, you think I did it wrong?” Clara put the rest of the pineapple pastry back into the box.
“It’s just a glass of juice. There’s no need to hit her, right?”
Clara pouted and turned her back to Sammy, “How could you side with an outsider?”
“I didn’t. It was just a matter of fact.”
“What fact? You only saw me hit her. Do you know that she and her boss are bulling me?”
Clara’s tears fell just like that. In a blink of an eye, the bean-sized tears slid down her cheeks.
“Bully you?”
“That’s right! That Jessica is only the third female lead in the show, but she is always so arrogant!”
As Clara spoke, she wiped away the tears on her face, “She once stole my makeup artist. Furthermore, there was a scene when she needed to slap me. So she deliberately made mistakes and reshot. My face ended up so swollen afterward, and she even laughed at me for that.”
…
“She made fun of me for being a jinx because as soon as I got married, something went wrong with the Nathan Group. I’ve always kept a low profile on the set because the dispute has just been settled. In fact, I keep holding my anger with her.”
Sammy sighed and patted Clara on the shoulder.
“Today, that assistant clearly did it on purpose! It was Jessica who instructed her to do it. I couldn’t bear it anymore and so I slapped her!”
“How dare you criticize me!” Clara sobbed.
“Alright, alright. I don’t know about this. I didn’t mean to criticize you. I just thought it’s wrong to hit someone.”
“Didn’t you already know who I am? If I weren’t forced to the point where I couldn’t take it anymore, would I have done it?”
Clara pouted.
“Fine, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said that to you, okay?”
“Then I want to punish you when you get home!”
The two of them smiled at each other. “Alright, stop messing around. Wipe your tears. You still have shoots later.”
“Yes, I am going to shoot now. You should go back.”
After sending off Sammy, Clara let out a long breath.
“Jessica! Look what you did to me!”

S City
In the past few days, Derek had recovered a lot in Yolanda’s house. He could already stand up and walk, even walk out of the house for a stroll.
Yolanda had originally thought that Serina was not a very patient person, especially with these troublesome errands.
However, Serina was very diligent in cooking for Derek every day. Yolanda witnessed how Serina kept herself busy taking care of Derek.
She thought to herself that her daughter might fall in love with this man.
Serina helped Derek to the garden. There was a small pond in the garden, where there were many goldfish and lotus flowers.
It was now the season of lotus flowers. It had just rained yesterday, which made the blossoms even more beautiful.
Serina helped Derek sit on a stone beside the pond.
“Serina!”
Serina turned around and saw Yurem with her mother, Yolanda.
