Caroline said merrily, "All right!"After hanging up the phone, she booked a reservation at a barbecue restaurant near the set. Then, at around 4:00 pm, she drove to Sonia's set.Since Caroline had informed Sonia of her plans in advance, Sonia asked her manager, Helena Copley, to meet up with Caroline when she arrived.As the two walked to the film set, Helena said many nice things to Caroline. "Thank you so much, Ms. Evans. Sonia would still be an unknown D-lister if it hadn’t been for you."Caroline smiled at her words. "There's no need to thank me like that. Sonia and I mutually benefited from this cooperation. Besides, if she had no real talent, she wouldn't have the fame she has now, even with my help."Helena scratched her head. "Well ..."Before she could finish her words, the two heard a slap from the film set.Caroline looked at the source of the sound and saw Sonia, with disheveled hair and cheeks that were swollen from getting hit. The person who hit her was none ot
However, Daphne couldn't refute Caroline's words. After all, she just had a wonderful comeback! She bit her lips in frustration, and after a while, she couldn't handle being here anymore. In front of everyone, she stormed away to the dressing room.The director knew he couldn't keep filming under these circumstances, so he told Sonia, "Let's call it a day. We'll continue filming tomorrow."Sonia stood up with Caroline's help and nodded to the director and crew. "Thank you, everyone. Good job."The crew returned the pleasantries and then moved their equipment to pack them away. Caroline was touched to see Sonia remain humble even after becoming famous. People like Daphne, who had no portfolio or acting skills, could still become popular in the entertainment industry just because she was the wife of Eddy's second uncle.Meanwhile, Sonia had to endure humiliation despite having skills because she had no one backing her. At the thought of this, anger welled up in Caroline's che
Sonia was stunned. Her answer was similar to Helena's. This kind of thing happened often, so she was used to it."Actually, I met someone who was even more cruel." Sonia recalled the past without a hint of resentment. "In one of my shows, there was a scene where the leading female actress was supposed to torture someone. "But because someone on the set had secretly said that I was prettier than her, she actually proposed to torture me for real."She continued, "Thankfully, the crew didn't indulge in her insane plan and stopped her. Otherwise, I would look like an ugly pig right now."Seeing the bittersweet expression on Sonia's face, Caroline's expression turned serious. She asked, "Then, what did you do?""W-what else could I have done? I still got tied up and—" Sonia took a piece of beef. She dismissed it, saying, "It's fine, Caroline. Let's not talk about this anymore. Now, I've triumphed over my hardships."Caroline still had a serious expression as she advised, "Sonia,
Sonia was keenly aware that Caroline's mood was off, and she scratched her head. "Caroline, did I say something wrong?"Caroline looked back at Sonia and shook her head. "No …"After pondering for a moment, she asked, "Sonia, you've been an actress for several years, right? You must have read tons of weird scripts. Can I ask you something?"Sonia nodded. "Of course.""Have you ever read any scripts about a man who loves a woman but is also married to another woman?"Looking at Sonia's and Helena's stunned expressions, Caroline realized she seemed to have a problem and needed help.Fortunately, Sonia was very earnest and didn't think too much. Instead, after listening to Caroline's question, she started thinking about whether she had encountered a messed-up story like this. But she couldn't think of anything.However, the knowledgeable Helena was able to think of something. "Actually, situations like these are rare now, but they were very common in the past, especially in the 1
"Do you want to come upstairs?""Um, it's okay …" Charles said hesitantly, "I-it's better if I don't go upstairs."Caroline glanced at the bright lights upstairs and understood. "You're here to see Kirk, right?""Yes. I-I mean, no." Charles spoke incoherently like a mentally disturbed lunatic. "I'm not here to see …"Caroline's gaze landed on Charles, and she asked suspiciously, "How does Kirk usually make you work? How did you end up like this?""No!" Charles laughed. His brain wasn't functioning anymore. He had been intensively searching for information about Dolly and the mysterious person for the past few days. His mind was now full of data and statistics, and his mouth was opening and closing instinctively. He explained, "Sir asked me to investigate Dolly and the mysterious person. He told me Dolly was an actress, and the mysterious person contacted you in Macovo, madam."Caroline didn't notice the change in Charles' address at all. All her attention was on how he
Kirk's eyes turned slightly cold. He realized that, right now, Caroline would protect anyone but him."Look!" Caroline put her hands on her hips. As if disciplining a pet, she scolded, "A smart man like Charles is now acting like a fool. Don't you know intensive work can drive people insane? "If his family sued you for exploiting your subordinates, they would win every single time."Charles, who had been so moved that he was about to shed tears, gawked at her. "Huh?"So she was so worried because she was afraid he would sue Kirk for abusing his subordinates?A hint of a smile appeared on Kirk's face."How are you still smiling?" Caroline became even more annoyed. "You know, I can actually report you to the authorities for threatening your subordinate that you'll deport him to another country. Also, please have some common sense. Not every winter country has penguins!"Charles wanted to interject and tell Caroline that there were penguins in winter countries. However, this w
Caroline was speechless. For some reason, she sensed the childishness in Kirk's tone.However, she was a reasonable person. Kirk's words did make sense. It was difficult to figure things out with such little information.Caroline found it hard to drive him away now. Forget it. She would just tell him tomorrow.She walked to the dining table. When she saw the sumptuous feast on the table, her already full stomach started to growl again.After eating, Caroline completely forgot about asking Kirk to leave. She only remembered about it after she reached work the next day. However, she couldn't tell Jack to turn the car around. She massaged her forehead resignedly, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Daphne was helping Jane choose a dress at home.It would be Jane's 55th birthday soon, and Howard planned to take advantage of the occasion to announce his cooperation with Eddy's second uncle.The public had actually known about this for a
The horoscope-themed outfits were selling like hotcakes. In addition, Caroline had had the insight to develop the second batch of clothing in advance, so the company had already started discussing the announcement and distribution of the second batch of clothes.Everyone was busy except for Caroline. She discovered that her subordinates were not incompetent. On the contrary, they had taken on a passive attitude toward their work because they had thought Evans Group would go bankrupt sooner or later.But things were different now. Everyone was motivated and energetic due to their success. They were now doing the things she had had to handle alone previously with no trouble.So Caroline was free at the moment. All she did was sign documents all day. Being a boss was really easy. No wonder everyone wanted to be one.However, Caroline didn't want to relax. If she did, her mind would wander. In desperation, she called Gwen. She didn't know what her friend had been doing lately since
