[Hey, look who's spreading bitterness here? You're welcome to join the fun, but don't stir the pot.][I wonder, why are they so blatant even if they want to insult? She's a newbie in showbiz; how many enemies can she make? Wasn't there someone who claimed to be sweet and non-competitive? Do her fans want to destroy her reputation?][Just a little trending topic bought for a small actress by the crew. It's her first time acting and she's fortunate enough to be appreciated by the crew, just a little trending topic. It's not even in the top ten, so there's no need to keep criticizing.]"Quickly look, Wyneth, you actually have fans now," Yoyo called, pulling Wyneth onto the bed beside her."How can you tell?" Wyneth thought those defending her were all Luke's fans."Check the profile pictures." Yoyo pointed to her phone screen. "This one named Wyneth Petalcrunch, the first word is your name."'Wyneth Petalcrunch...' Wyneth pulled a face. 'What kind of bizarre name is that?'"Usually
The words left a lingering bitter taste. "But we can't do nothing, can we?" Hayden indeed wanted to do something, yet the current Wyneth seemed to need nothing from him. She signed the papers and walked away nonchalantly, even managing to put on a tough front in his presence. The version of her when she was drunk was a complete contrast to her sober self. Yet, there was nothing he could do about it."What if..." Dexter's eyes sparkled with an idea, "you present Ms. Walford with a screenplay?"Upon hearing this, Hayden's eyes widened slightly. "Huh?""If Ms. Walford wishes to make a mark in the showbiz, then you could assist her in doing so. This is your strength," Dexter declared. As the puppet master pulling the strings of everyone in the industry, it was child's play for Hayden to provide an artiste with top-tier projects. And for a newcomer like Wyneth, what she needed most was a good script, a dedicated team, and promising opportunities.Hayden's thin lips pursed as he finally
'For everyone?' At his words, Wyneth felt relieved and accepted the ointment. "Thanks." She thought, 'I must be overthinking this. After all, he's the leading man and I'm just a minor character. There's no way he'd be interested in me.' However, Wyneth was certain that Leo was a kindhearted person."No need to thank me, we're all in the same boat. Looking after newcomers is my duty. Some seniors took good care of me when I was just starting out."'Really? So he saw me as a newbie and it reminded him of his own rookie days? That does make sense,' Wyneth mused."When you get home, you can apply a hot towel to the sore spots, and then rub this ointment on. You'll feel much better in the morning. The only downside is the smell of the medicine. It's a bit off-putting.""No worries. Thank you."Leo wanted to say something more, but seeing Wyneth maintain a distance, he did not push further, fearing he might scare her off. "I'll let you get back to work. If you need anything, just ask me
'And to think they said I was too sweet for the role of a beauty like Aurelia. What's the result? A role I pursued for so long, not only did I fail to get it, but it actually landed in Wyneth's lap,' Gigi muttered internally. The makeup room was left with only Wyneth, Gigi, and Gigi's assistant. No longer needing to put up pretenses, she glared at Wyneth, her smile icy. "Feeling smug, are you?"'Huh?' Wyneth thought, 'This woman really cannot go a day without stirring trouble, can she?'"Don't think that just because you've snagged this role, you can walk around the entertainment industry like you own it. Being Luke's leading lady isn't that easy. Plus, you're not even the lead; you're just a minor character!" With no one else around, Gigi snapped at Wyneth without a hint of politeness. When Gigi found that Wyneth did not even glance her way, instead taking a seat to start removing her makeup, she was livid. "Wyneth!"The assistant at Gigi's side tried to hold her back, but she shoo
Upon returning to her hotel, Wyneth received a cryptic text message from her older brother, Bruce. It was so simple—just a single question mark—that Wyneth thought there might be something wrong with her phone. Her brothers had never sent her such a message before.Wyneth immediately texted back: [What's up?] As soon as she sent the message, her phone rang. It was Bruce."Aren't you supposed to be on set?" he asked, his voice icy and distant."I wrapped for the day. What's going on?""Which set were you on?" Bruce inquired.Wyneth switched her phone to speaker mode, then sprawled out on the couch. "Le Palais. Where else?" she replied languidly."What about Cessation? What's the deal with Facebook?"Realizing that he must have seen her pictures on Facebook, Wyneth said, "It's just as you saw. Did you text me just to ask about that?"Bruce and Luke were sworn enemies. Wyneth knew this through her best friend, Amelia, and later confirmed it with Gordon. But she figured it did not
Yet, upon further reflection, Gordon added, "However, Shaun, despite his annoying demeanor, generally treats his artistes well. He shouldn't let your sister face any sort of bullying."Bruce pondered for a moment before saying, "Keep a close watch for me. Anything out of the ordinary, you report it.""Alright, alright. If I notice anything suspicious, I'll tell you. Are you satisfied now?"Only then did Bruce feel secure enough to focus on his acting.Two days later, Shaun handed a stack of scripts over to Wyneth. "Take your pick. You can keep any that you like."Wyneth eyed the pile of scripts and then glanced at Shaun, a look of bewilderment etched onto her face. "Has my reputation really spread so far?" She thought, 'Scripts are flocking to me this quickly?'Shaun adjusted his glasses, his gaze enigmatic as he responded, "Wake up; it's your manager's reputation that's far-reaching."Wyneth had no words."Go ahead, see which ones you like." With that, Shaun nudged the stack o
"What's wrong with this script? You haven't even delved into the content yet, have you?"Indeed, Wyneth had not yet ventured into the content. The moment she noticed that Bruce was invited to play the male lead, she instinctively ruled out the script. "I haven't, but the setup is too grand, too much for me to handle," Wyneth spoke with a tranquil air.Hearing this, Shaun's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could that be? If you can handle Luke's performances, there's no doubt you'd be a match for Bruce. They're of the same caliber."In response, Wyneth merely uttered softly, "Aurelia's role is small, but taking on the main female lead throughout could be a different challenge.""That might be a valid point, but surely, after performing as Lucienne and Aurelia, you would've improved," Shaun persisted. However, no matter what he said, Wyneth showed no interest in the script. Tentatively, he asked, "Is it the male lead that bothers you?"Hearing this, Wyneth raised her brows. "Why shou
'Did I agree?' Wyneth silently retorted in her mind.Shaun thought to himself, 'There's no way I'm passing up a chance to have Wyneth star opposite Bruce. It's Bruce, for heaven's sake! As much as I dislike him, he's on par with my man, Luke.' Having decided the role for Wyneth, he began to flip through the other scripts. "Take a look at these too, see if there's anything you like. There's no rush though, you can take your time. You've already got two roles lined up, so if nothing here piques your interest, you can always check back later.""Okay." Wyneth obediently nodded. A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she glanced back at the script Shaun held. "Are you sure Bruce will accept that script?""He probably will? If he doesn't, we'll just back out too.""That's very whimsical of you."Shaun grinned. "Well, why not? It's not like you're lacking in opportunities." Internally, he added, 'Especially when someone keeps lining up scripts for you, it's only natural to be a bit whi
