He was about to lead Annetta away as he spoke.
Annetta did not move at all.
Halfway through, the man noticed that she was not following him. He turned around and asked, “Why aren’t you moving?”
Annetta laughed, “Did I say I was interested?”
The man looked at her in surprise, “500 dollars a day. People would kill for this role. You’re not interested?”
The man continued, “Do you think that 500 dollars a day is too little? Let me tell you, young people should not be too greedy. 500 dollars a day is already a lot of money…”
Annetta could not be bothered to listen to his nonsense. She only said, “Apologize.”
“What?” The man who was muttering to himself thought that he had misheard Annetta.
Annetta calmly repeated, “Apologize.”
“Are you crazy? It was obviously you…”
The man was just about to lose his temper when he saw Annetta turn around to leave.
The man remembered that if Annetta left, the assistant director would definitely not spare him, so he hurriedly ran in front of Annetta and stopped her. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Annetta raised an eyebrow, “So insincere. Forget it!”
The man gritted his teeth and said, “Madam, I’m so sorry! It was my fault just now! Please forgive me, madam!”
Looking at the man’s helpless face, Annetta felt much better. She decided to do it since she was free and she had made a huge investment in this drama. If she delayed filming, she would be burning her own money! Anyway, she was wearing her ugly makeup. Just take it for fun and as helping herself!
Annetta thought about it for a while and grunted in agreement, “Fine, I’ll do it since you apologized to me so nicely. Lead the way to the changing room.”
“Okay, Miss! Please come with me!”
“Don’t call me Miss, call me Madam!” Annetta retorted.
“… Okay, Madam!” The man said as he thought, “I’ll call you anything you want as long as you agree to do the shoot.”
The man introduced himself as one of the crew staff, Mr. Draven, on the way to the changing room.
“Mr. Draven?” Annetta glanced at him.
At this moment, he suddenly panicked and immediately said, “Draven. Just call me Draven.”
Annetta grunted in reply.
Draven was depressed. She was just an ugly woman, but why did she make him tremble with one glance?
While Annetta was changing clothes, Draven was waiting outside the dressing room. It took Lulu a long time to find him. “Mr. Draven!”
Lulu greeted him with a smile.
As the assistant director’s assistant, Draven naturally knew that although Lulu was a supporting role, someone powerful was supporting her. He hurriedly said, “Miss Lulu, why are you here?”
Lulu said, “I just heard that the actress who acted as my rival has left…”
“That’s right! She has no resilience whatsoever!” Draven remembered that he had been inexplicably blamed and scolded by the assistant director. Before Lulu could finish her words, he began to complain, “I have blacklisted this actress. Next time, she won’t even have a chance to act as an extra in any filming crew I’m in!”
Lulu didn’t want to listen to his nonsense at all, but she still listened patiently and said, “If she leaves, who will be my rival? Why not…”
“Oh, no worries! Luckily the assistant director saw a hideous-looking passer-by in the crowd and asked her to act! Hey—” Draven pointed behind him. “I just brought her here to do makeup and change clothes. This woman is hideous. I’ve never seen her before, and she doesn’t even need to put on makeup…”
When Lulu heard that Draven had found the substitute, her heart sank. She stopped listening to Draven, so she turned around and left.
Draven was complaining high-spiritedly. When he looked up, there was no one in front of him. He was depressed for a while until Annetta came out.
After changing into ancient traditional clothes, Annetta had a slender waist and her movements were graceful. Draven was stunned for a moment.
