“No problem! I’ll buy you a big meal after I get paid! I’m poor now!”
Hazel pouted. She should get 3 million for shooting “The First Challenge”. Lucy was negotiating with the crew. Because of investors’ withdrawal, Elva’s scandal, and Leonel’s quitting, it was likely that the show would end there.
There was a lot of scolding on the Internet. Trolls blamed Hazel for the show’s closing and took her every word as an excuse.
“Alright, no big meal then. I’m free this weekend. Take me out. Any restaurant will do.”
Eleanor immediately made a request. Afraid that Hazel would forget, she repeatedly reminded her of that. Suddenly, Eleanor changed the topic. “Speaking of which, do you have a handsome and rich boyfriend?”
Eleanor began gossiping around. Last time on TV, Baron protected Hazel by putting himself at risk, which impressed many girls and made Hazel the envy of those girls.
The online criticism for Hazel was that a pretentious bitch got true love while good women got nothing!
Because of this, Hazel became a fake love rival in the hearts of many women.
“Yes, but he’s very busy.”
Hazel did not feel offended by that question. She has nothing to hide about her private life. She said playfully, “I’m playing a miserable supporting character in the show. Mercy, my lady! Please do not torture me too badly.”
“So far I’ve only shot plots of PDA. Just now, the director asked me and Bob to practice kissing scenes. The director only got gag reels because of me. I just couldn’t immerse myself in the show.”
Eleanor thought of those gag reels and laughed. Because she had never cooperated with Bob before, they didn’t perform well just now. Eleanor found that Bob was very averse to kissing scenes. Every time he kissed Eleanor, he looked calm, but helplessness was deep in his eyes.
“I feel like I’m forcing him to kiss me.”
After Eleanor finished that sentence, she laughed again. The director also didn’t know how to deal with them.
If only their side faces were required, the director could find a substitute. But sadly, they needed to kiss each other in the front.
Bob had mysophobia and never messed around with girls. He barely filmed the kissing scenes. Because cameras were shooting him from afar, he could put a layer of plastic on his lips.
“It’s distressing. Hazel, I think you should play the female lead.”
Eleanor ignored her assistant’s dark face and stared at Hazel’s bosom.
“Hooligan, what are you talking about? You also have big boobs!”
Eleanor and Hazel were familiar with each other enough to make such jokes. The female lead in the drama was a beautiful girl with big boobs, who also had a smart brain. Eleanor would be very suitable if she put on makeup.
On the other hand, Eleanor’s assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wondered, ‘Eleanor looks sharp, but sometimes she is a fool when she’s around a familiar person. How could she say that another person would make a better female lead? Fortunately, Hazel didn’t take her words seriously.’
After seeing Hazel, the director praised her nonstop. Hazel was indeed beautiful and graceful, which were exactly the characters possessed by the cutest girl in school.
“Your character needs a friend who’s always by her side. I haven’t found a suitable actress yet. If you know someone suitable, you can introduce her to us.”
To make sure Hazel gave her best performance, the director let her choose an actress as her partner. Hazel immediately thought of Lucy.
The director was satisfied. Hazel soon entered the zone. Both the director and the actors were very dedicated to their work. No one wanted to leave until they got the perfect scene.
“This must be the Virgo Team!”
Eleanor clutched her stomach in pain. She had never heard that the production team was lacking in funds. However, it was already ten o’clock in the evening. And she had no dinner, which was insufferable for her, a foodie!
“Don’t blame Virgo for that. Not every Virgo is a perfectionist!”
Hazel was also a little hungry. She made Lucy her supporting role, so no one showed her concern. Hazel didn’t know where the snacks she brought were, either.
“Hazel, I’m so hungry! I can eat a cow!”
Eleanor wasn’t working. She exaggerated how hungry she was, turning from a goddess into a cute girl. But Hazel liked Eleanor that way better, for she was more approachable.
Many stars thought they were better than ordinary people and thus acted like kings and queens to belittle others, but Eleanor and Hazel weren’t one of them.
“Last scene. Go! The director has called your name!”
Hazel slowly walked over after seeing the staff raise the cards.
Coincidentally, their shooting location was a movie school. Hazel saw the student union office, basketball court, teaching building, and the canteen that Bruce had been to.
“Hazel, I thought you wouldn’t come.”
Bob looked at Hazel under the moonlight. His eyes were melancholy. He had seen her walk past this road in a white dress many times.
During the day, she followed him in public. At night, he sent her back to the dormitory in silence. Yet he could not show any love to her.
He thought that she would understand him one day, but he did not expect that his mistake would eventually lead to Hazel ending up in another man’s embrace.
“If he’s not nice to you, you can always come to me.”
Bob’s eyes suddenly lit up, full of affection towards Hazel. He thought, ‘Yes, I still have a chance. I can pay attention to her silently just like in the old days.’
“I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.”
Not far away, Baron carried a plastic bag, which contained lunch boxes and fresh-made juice. He ignored Bob and stared at Hazel with love.
“Baron, why are you here?”
Hazel cheered and ran forward. In front of him, she could always be an innocent girl, who had nothing to worry about.
“I’m for you. Haven’t had dinner yet, right?”
Baron’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of the entire crew. Baron was unsmiling and cold, but he had the magic to make people notice him.
“So few words, yet precise.”
“How did you know that I didn’t have dinner?” Hazel rubbed her belly.
“I didn’t know before I came. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I came.”
It was windy. The wind blew against Hazel’s hair, her hair scattering in the wind. Baron walked to her and held her in his arms, blocking the cold wind. Then, he took off his coat and covered Hazel with it.
Baron was so considerate, which touched the girls surrounding them. ‘Heavens! Who’s this? Rich, handsome, and considerate!’
“Show PDA in a play. See PDA in reality. I suddenly feel like I’ll be single forever.”
Eleanor was shocked by the sweet love and covered her chest. She turned to her assistant and asked, “Where can I find such a handsome boyfriend? I want a dozen of them!”
