The two laughed after they finished speaking, with mockery in their words.
Maria looked at the two actresses who were supporting roles in the play but often gathered around Osborn to gain popularity. Their scheming was obvious.
“Do you really think someone would lay hands on her? She’s so skinny, it’s uncomfortable just looking at her.”
Hearing this, Maria not only looked down at her own figure but also felt a hint of anger.
She may not be curvy like waves, but she definitely wasn’t skinny either!
For a moment, Maria felt that her dignity had been challenged and she walked straight into the room.
“Being skinny is natural too. It’s better than some people who spend money to pile up their bodies,” Maria chuckled lightly and looked contemptuously at the person in front of her.
The two didn’t expect Maria to suddenly come in and their expressions were somewhat ugly. One of them forced a smile and opened his mouth to say something nice, “Oh Maria… what a coincidence. Are you here to remove your makeup?”
“Why stop there? I want to hear more evaluations from you guys about me,” Maria leaned against the door frame with a mocking smile on her face.
“We…”
The actress in red couldn’t keep up with her smile anymore. She tried hard to say something nice but the girl next to her stepped forward directly towards Maria, “What’s wrong if we talk about you? You know exactly what kind of person you are inside out! Don’t be shameless just because you have connections!”
“Summer…” The actress in red had an extremely unpleasant expression on her face.
The person known as Summer looked Maria up and down and said, “I really don’t know what abilities you have to be held in such high regard.”
“I don’t know the extent of my abilities either, but I do know that walls have ears, so remember to lock the door when talking bad about others,” Maria replied.
Saying that, Maria took out her phone from her pocket, and it displayed a recording.
She pressed pause and looked at the pale faces of the two people in the dressing room.
“You recorded it!” Summer almost screamed.
Maria raised an eyebrow, took a few steps back, and stood directly in front of the corridor’s surveillance camera. “What do you think my big connection above would react if he heard all this?”
“It’s a misunderstanding… all a misunderstanding…” the actress in the red dress tried to mediate, even tugging at Summer’s clothes.
“You!” Summer bit her lip, her attempt to snatch the phone coming to a halt. “Maria, you’ve gone too far.”
“Too far? So this is what you call going too far,” Maria sneered disdainfully, casually pushing her phone back into her pocket.
“In the entertainment industry, it takes more than just a big chest; you need a brain too.”
Speaking up to this point, Maria suddenly seemed to think of something. Her gaze swept across Summer’s face, and she covered her mouth as she laughed.
“Oh, no, I remember our assistant director likes people with big chests, right?”
Without even looking at the reactions of those behind her, Maria turned and walked away.
“Maria, you wait for me…” Summer gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred as if she wanted to devour Maria alive.
…
“The shooting went smoothly, and we’re almost finished.”
The producer looked at Jane beside him and said briefly.
His gaze fell on Maria and Osborn, who were currently filming. Jane nodded. After going through so much, the filming was finally proceeding smoothly.
As Maria was filming, she caught Osborn’s gaze, causing her to pause for a moment. Taking the opportunity to turn around, she unexpectedly spotted Jane’s figure.
No wonder…
Maria couldn’t help but sigh inwardly and even admired Osborn’s persistence.
As the filming was about to end, Osborn had originally planned to find Jane, but he saw that she had already left. His previously happy mood was suddenly dampened as if cold water had been poured over him.
However, Jane was unaware of this. Although she came to visit the set today, she didn’t stay long because she had a business collaboration in the afternoon.
It was strange, though. Originally, the contract was scheduled to be signed tomorrow morning, but the collaborating company insisted on advancing the signing time to this afternoon, for reasons unknown.
With nothing else planned for the afternoon, Jane agreed. However, she couldn’t help but be curious about the reason for the early collaboration.
“Miss North, it’s Mr. Beach on the phone,” the assistant handed Jane the phone in the car.
Sawyer Beach was the owner of the company Jane was collaborating with in the afternoon.
“Mr. Beach, I’ll be there soon.” They had agreed to meet at a technology park where Jane planned to invest in a film and television base.
However, a voice filled with apology came from the other end of the phone. “Miss North, I’m really sorry, but can we change the meeting place?”
“What do you mean, Mr. Beach?” Jane furrowed her brow.
Sawyer hesitated for a moment on the phone and finally said slowly, “Actually, I value this collaboration with Star Entertainment a lot. I thought we could have a conversation first… um… and find an opportunity to visit the technology park more thoroughly.”
Hearing Sawyer’s incoherent words, Jane sternly replied, “Mr. Beach, if you don’t want to collaborate with Star Entertainment, you can just say so. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
“No, no, Miss North, you’ve misunderstood.”
Upon hearing this, Sawyer quickly explained, “To be honest with you, there’s another company that’s interested in that technology park, and it seems like they’re determined to get it.”
Upon hearing this, Jane suddenly became interested. She didn’t expect to encounter a competitor.
And they dared to say they were determined to get it. Jane was curious to see which company it was. After all, in the entertainment industry, there was no company that could compete with Star Entertainment.
“Mr. Beach, why don’t you tell me which company it is?”
“Um… it’s called Vast Ventures Company.” Sawyer cautiously glanced at the person in front of him, who was smiling, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.
“Vast Ventures?” This unfamiliar name furrowed Jane’s brow, and she gestured for her assistant to look it up.
However, what Jane didn’t expect was that it was actually a new company that had been registered for less than a week.
How could a new company have such confidence to compete with Star Entertainment?
And the name “Vast Ventures” seemed to have been prepared specifically for Star Entertainment.
“Mr. Beach, if I guess correctly, the CEO of this Vast Ventures Company should be sitting across from you right now.”
A smile crept upon Jane’s lips.
Sure enough, there were rustling sounds and the sound of a chair moving on the other end of the phone. Jane patiently waited.
After a while, a soft voice penetrated Jane’s ears through the receiver.
“Long time no see, clever beauty.”
Jane’s body stiffened. This voice…
Seemingly anticipating Jane’s reaction, a low chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
“Let me introduce myself, I’m Tristian.”
