Did this imbecile think that she was the old Lulu Coleman?
Just as Lulu was feeling smug, there was a sharp sound and a burning sensation on her cheek.
……
Lulu looked at Annetta in disbelief as if she did not believe that Annetta would really dare to hit her.
Lulu forgot she was still acting a scene and roared at Annetta, “Are you crazy?! How dare you hit me?!”
Annetta looked at her with disdain, and a classic sentence from another palace drama appeared in her mind. The corners of her mouth lifted, and she sneered, “I don’t need to pick a day to hit you.”
Annetta’s powerful aura completely crushed Lulu’s aura.
Lulu covered her swollen face with her hands and could not utter a word for a long time.
“Cut!” They suddenly heard the director’s voice. “We’re good with this scene,” he said happily.
After the director left, the assistant director walked over and said, “Miss White? Our director loved your performance. I hope you can continue to act in this role. We will give you a good price for it.”
“Yes, yes.” Draven hurriedly said, “A thousand dollars a day. This price is really the highest one I’ve ever seen for an extra!”
Annetta shook her head and said, “No, thank you, I don’t have the time.”
She had just wanted to help out for that one scene without any intention of acting a permanent role in the drama.
Just as Annetta was about to leave, Nana suddenly cried, “Oh, Mr. Brooks! You’re here! You need to help my sister! Look at her swollen cheek! Someone hit her!”
The assistant director had not expected Ben at this time. Ben was a senior executive in Infinity Group, and Infinity Group was one of the investors of this drama. That meant that it would be taboo to offend him.
The assistant director hurried to greet him,” Hello, Mr. Brooks. To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?”
At that time, Nana had already pulled Lulu to Ben’s side to let her show her swollen cheek to Ben.
Lulu had figured it out completely in the last few days. She thought that being wealthy was the best thing in the world after experiencing the status, power, and other advantages that money provided. Since she had already given herself to Ben, she resolved to merely please this man to gain additional benefits from him.
Ben liked Lulu more than Nana and was furious when he saw his darling hurt. He barked, “Who hit her?”
Everyone subconsciously glanced at Annetta, but no one pointed her out. After all, the director liked Annetta, and they would still need to work with her in the future.
Only Nana pointed at Annetta and said, “Mr. Brooks, she hit my sister!”
Ben looked at where Nana pointed and saw a hideous woman standing in front of him. He screwed up his eyes in disgust and scolded the assistant director, “How dare you let this hideous woman slap my girl?! “I think you have enough funds for this drama, and you don’t need support from Infinity Group anymore. We can withdraw our investment at any time.”
“Mr. Brooks! It’s all a misunderstanding!” The assistant director broke out in cold sweat when Ben threatened to withdraw the investment. “It’s really a misunderstanding. This scene requires Miss Lulu’s character to be slapped by an ugly palace maid. So, I’m sorry, but she’ll need to endure this just for the scene-”
“Acting is acting!” Ben cut in angrily. “Don’t you know what acting is? It just needs to look realistic to the audience. You don’t need to actually slap the person!”
“This… this…” The assistant director did not know what to say.
Ben brought Lulu to Annetta said, “Baby, if someone slaps you on the right cheek, you should return the favour to them double… No! Ten times more! Beat this ugly monster to death!”
