Jane lifted her head and spotted a tall silhouette standing in front of her. The bright light behind him made it difficult for her to discern his features.

"You've blooped twice in a row today. Perhaps you'll do it a third or fourth time soon, and you might even surpass me. The favorable impression you left on the director might be ruined," Matt chuckled softly. "Are you afraid?"

Jane furrowed her brows slightly. Was he relishing her failure?

Maintaining her composure, she replied, "Even if I blooped a hundred times, will I stop acting? Thank you for your concern."

She stood up and headed towards Director Kurt.

Matt watched her depart with a glint of interest in his eyes.

It feels like it's been ages since we last saw each other at the awards ceremony. Why don't we catch up over dinner?"Gwen remained composed and replied, "Thank you for the invitation, but unfortunately, I don't have the time tonight."Ciara understood and nodded, "Of course, Director Kurt is strict with actors, and you must be under a lot of pressure, Gwen. But don't overwork yourself. And, I wish you all the best for the Best Actress award this time."Gwen's face stiffened a little, "Thank you for your kind words."She walked past Ciara and continued ahead.Ciara turned around and looked at Gwen's departing figure, her smile turning into a sneer.Director Kurt's film i

    Oliver chuckled heartily. After spending a considerable amount of time with Jane, he realized that Jane was not as meek as she appeared on the surface."I was only joking.

    Ciara was struggling to breathe, feeling choked up by the situation.She wanted to counter Gwen's words, but the opportunity was snatched away as Gwen walked past her.Ciara held her breath and turned to Jane, asking doubtfully, "I forgot to ask you last time, has the contract run out? Why wasn't I informed?"Jane felt sorry for Ciara, who was so angry that she wanted to keep up the act.It was undeniable that Gwen still had a lot of power.She said coldly, "You're busy with personnel matters, so you don't have time to bother with such a small contract. However, my assistant informed me that you have found five new replacements for yourself, so I can leave with confidence."Ciara's face turned green upon hearing this. She retorted coldly, "What nonsense are you spouting!"How did she not know about the five replacements?!Jane's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, Miss Tyla. I misspoke. There are not five, but only three."Ciara was furious. "You..."Her wor

    The longer Ciara thought about it after leaving the set, the more furious she became. She dialed Salem's number and berated her straight away."I instructed you to investigate Jane's situation, yet you failed to discover that she had joined Director Kurt's crew. Are you incompetent?"Salem was a little perplexed on the phone and inquired, "Are you serious that Jane joined Director Kurt's crew? Are you kidding me?""Do I sound like I'm joking? That little wench is so arrogant. If I hadn't visited the set today, I would have been in the dark," Ciara shouted.Someone walked by and glanced at her, causing Ciara to realize that she was outside. She turned her head away and hurriedly walked forward.She lowered her voice, clenched her teeth, and said, "I don't care how you do it, just take her down for me."She ruthlessly hung up the phone, her face twisted with anger.Even if that little wench had taken over Director Artus and Director Kurt's scene, so what?

    Jane was surprised by how beautifully she had been captured in the photograph. She couldn't even doubt that it was her. "Isn't it stunning?" Olivia smiled and asked.Jane nodded, "The photographer's technique is exceptional."Olivia chuckled, "I'm complimenting your beauty, not the photographer's skills."Jane noticed the unreserved admiration in Olivia's eyes, and her cheeks flushed a little. She suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.Olivia smiled and said, "You're blushing. Why do I feel like I'm teasing you?""No, you're always kind to me." Jane replied seriously.Olivia looked into her clear eyes. It had been a while since she had seen such pure eyes that needed protection.She suddenly said seriously: "Life is fair to everyone.

She is a young and talented individual. She won the International Jewelry Design Award at the age of 21. Do you know her?"Jane smiled faintly, "She was my senior.""You're also an art major?"

    Piper asked again, "Is he the guy you mentioned that you have feelings for?"Jane replied without hesitation, "No.""Don't lie to me, if someone is so into me, I'll definitely fall for him too." Piper didn't believe her.Jane went silent and said, "What if the person is a middle-aged man in his 50s with acne scars all over his face, would you still love him?"Piper was at a loss for words.After a while, she reluctantly said, "But he's tall and has a good physique.""That's just his back, you haven't seen his face." Jane said seriously.To convince Piper, she had to feel sorry for Damien."Fine, but don't hate on netizens, or they'll accuse you of being ungrateful." Piper warned."Don't worry, I won't." Jane assured her."I've made up my mind, I'll teach you how to sing starting tomorrow, and Anderson is also here, we'll meet at the usual place."
