How could you do something that could ruin someone's face indefinitely? Zoe was vicious. Leda stopped talking. She was thinking about the credibility of Zoe's words.
Zoe seized the favorable opportunity, "Leda, it's not worth it.
Do you want to ruin our relationship for such a small matter?
You haven't actually lost anything. I'll pay you ten thousand dollars. How about you forget about it?"
It is true, and she didn't suffer? If Edie did not discover it in time, then everyone would have thought that Rena had an allergic reaction. If she goes to the director, could Zoe easily persuade him to forget about it?
Leda's heart sneered repeatedly. On the surface, it seemed to be tempted by the money. Her heart began to race rapidly.
What should she do? "How about twenty thousand dollars, Leda?"
"Well, I can promise you one thing, nothing happened." Zoe breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact, she was almost furious.
She took advantage of the situation, but in the end, she suffered a double loss.
Edie came into the makeup room, and Leda stood beside her.
"Have you found out yet?"
Leda's face was angry, "Miss Edie, just like you said, I took out a handful of foundation, and Zoe kept pushing it away. She didn't want to use the bottle and broke it on the floor." This was what Edie told Leda yesterday. "Zoe told the truth."
"So, she did admit it?"
Leda grudgingly said, "Yes, she admitted it all. She put the lead powder in the foundation to hurt you." Edie sneered, why would she do this. It was the first day of the shooting. I don't understand.
"Did you record it?"
Leda nodded and took out the recording pen that Edie gave her yesterday. "I sure did. It's all recorded. It's clear, and it's all in there." Edie took the pen and smiled at Leda, "Thank you, Leda."
"I would like to thank you for not being dragged down by Zoe if you didn't find it in time. Well, I don't even want to think about it."
"Unkindness often reacts to the unkind person." Edie smiled faintly, "Leda, would you mind putting on my makeup first."
"Not at all."
Today, Edie was going to make her first scene with the lead actor. Charles was so famous that in addition to his good looks, his acting skills were also excellent.
Edie, a drama graduate, was standing right beside him. It was enough to say they were a perfect match. Their natural skills and their good looks, even the staff were stunned.
The director kept his eyes on the monitor, saying words like
"Good," "Perfect,' the film kept rolling. There were no remakes.
Susan couldn't talk. So it was not easy to understand her. You had to look at the emotions in her eyes. Edie looked at Charles with the kind of love that inspired everyone. It was mysterious and mischievous, and you were wondering what was going to happen next. Their acting was exceptionally great.
Whether the camera was on her or him, the scenes were fun and exciting. All you had to do is look into her eyes, and she got the point across. Everyone knew what she was saying without speaking a word.
She was not an actress, but a woman who truly loved what she was doing. Even Charles, who was so famous, could see the woman in front of him who was playing the part was actually becoming the woman in the movie.
Even Charles could not help looking at Edie with pity. Feeling she was actually the woman in the scene of the play. The director shouted, "Okay, pass," he quickly pulled away and calmly and politely said to Charles, "Thank you, predecessor Sims."
Charles had a hard time coming back from the character. He felt a sudden loss of feeling for her.
Charles laughed at himself as Edie walked to her assistant. It was the first time he couldn't get out of character. He was afraid that he was going to be laughed at.
Charles went to sit down and rest. He took a sip of water to sober himself up. Queenie was sitting next to him. Queenie laughed and said, "I can clearly see that when the director said, 'Stop, that you are still playing the part."
They have worked together many times, and their friendship was perfect. Charles smiled bitterly, "Just stop laughing at me.
She was outstanding, and I was a bit fascinated by her performance."
Queenie didn't come yesterday afternoon, and today was her first look at Edie's acting. "It's not easy to get praise from a movie queen. Are you jealous of her? Don't worry, and you're doing well."
Charles looked at Edie, who was not far away from him and she was laughing with her assistant.
"What do you think of this woman?" Queenie thought for a moment, "I think she is terrific. She has been acting for almost two years and seems to be the most amazing new actresses. I think she's a natural."
Charles seemed to be thinking something, and he paused a little, "Just like you did five years ago."
"Like me?" Queenie arched her eyebrows. Charles thought she looked unhappy because he said she was like her. He smiled and said, "Are you jealous, too? She's excellent. She looks amazing, and she's very good at acting."
Queenie could tell that Charles misunderstood her, so with a faint smile, "No, I just think she is good, but not better than me. Yes, she is very talented, and eventually, she will become famous."
When Edie arrived back at the Villa, she was so tired that she laid down on the bed. Filming all day was exhausting. Not to mention, you had to be highly concentrated. It was a great test of your physical strength and spirit.
She just wanted to take a break and have a bath, but when she went to bed, she fell asleep.
She woke up in the middle of the night and was looking for the time on her phone. That was when she noticed several unanswered calls.
It was from Stuart. At the sight of this name, Edie felt a bit of tension. She had been in the Villa for three days and had only called Stuart once, and that was to tell him she was safe. Yes, she was busy, but she also wanted to keep a little distance from him.
She thought it was a problem with her way of dealing with Stuart as an instinctive sense of danger. If she were to keep talking with Stuart, she would fall in love with him. She touched the name on the screen, and she was a little hesitant.
Should she call him back?
The touch-screen phone was so sensitive. She just lightly touched his name, and the phone started dialing. What?! No!
Can't she call him back in the middle of the night? Edie's hair almost stood up. She jumped out of bed, and nervously tried to hang up.
Unfortunately, there was someone on the other end. She went to hang up but pushed a button, and it became a hands-free device. "It's me," he said — a man's magnetic voice, transmitted through the device. His voice sounded so sexy.
Edie swallowed the water and answered the phone. "Hello."
"Just finished? You are filming this late?" Stuart glanced at the clock, saw that it was close to two o'clock in the morning. He frowned and sounded a little unhappy. "No, I came home early, and I was exhausted, so I slept for a while, and I just woke up." Edie hastily explained.
Stuart's brow remained unloosened. "I can talk to the crew and see if you can shoot your play first. Then you can come back to rest early."
"No, please don't. I don't want any special treatment. It's not hard at all. Please don't contact anyone."
Everyone would think it was a joke. She had already taken someone else's role, and many people in the crew were not pleased with her as it was. If Stuart said anything, then the rumors would spread like the plague.
Seeing Edie's attitude was firm, Stuart didn't insist anymore.
"When can you come home?"
"I have no work next Monday and Tuesday, so I can come home for two days."
"I'll have the driver pick you up."
Edie was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What happened?" Stuart didn't understand. So if nothing happens, she isn't going to come home? He was displeased, "nothing happened. Do you not understand our arrangement? If the family sends people because I never know when they will investigate, they could perhaps come to the Villa. If my wife is never home, how are they going to believe it is real marriage?"
Edie was afraid to delay their business deal, she nodded,
"Okay, I'll be back on Monday and Tuesday." His heart ached for her. He wanted to listen to her voice for a while longer, but he restrained himself, "Then go back to sleep, good night."
