"Clear your schedule for the next while and get ready to play Crissy."Wait, did she just land the role? Eulalia was confident she could nail Crissy's part, but she never thought Mr. Reid would pick her straight away.In this industry, it's all about the money, not talent. They don't care how well you act, just if you can bring in the bucks. With Eulalia's tarnished reputation and bad press, even she wouldn't hire herself for the lead role.The role of Crissy was too captivating, better than the protagonist Yanet. The audience might have a hard time accepting Eulalia in this part.The producer was still reeling from Eulalia's performance. Watching her sit down, he almost wanted to kneel and call her "Your Majesty."When Reid declared Eulalia as the second lead, the producer snapped back to reality, startled. If it weren't for the setting, he might have throttled Reid. He whispered urgently, "Mr. Reid, what are you thinking? That's Eulalia Clearwater.""I know who she is.""She has a l
Jane was in shock and couldn't believe it even after they got back. Eulalia, who had initially auditioned for a vicious supporting role, ended up securing the role of the cherished second female lead. Jane was dying to know what had happened in the audition room, but no matter how much she asked, Eulalia wouldn’t spill a word."Eula, I feel like you’ve changed so much. It’s like you’re a different person," Jane said, unable to contain her curiosity.Eulalia put on her mask and sunglasses. Hearing Jane's murmurs, she paused and looked up at the bright sky. "No, I've always been like this..." she said. Yes, she should be like this, the proud Eulalia who could overcome any challenge.She shouldn't be the Eulalia who lost everything for love. Loving someone should include self-love, a lesson she knew as a child but somehow forgot as she grew up. She learned the hard way that if you want to catch the l
Eulalia got up at 6 AM, went for a jog, and then came back to shower and make breakfast. Her previous life experience with stomach cancer taught her the importance of maintaining a healthy routine and eating on time. She remembered how she used to prepare elaborate meals for Percival, only to be met with disappointment and illness instead of his company. Reflecting on this, she couldn't help but think she had been quite foolish.At 9 AM, she received a call from the delivery guy to pick up a package. After getting the code, she put on a jacket, sunglasses, and a mask. On weekdays, her neighborhood wasn't very busy, mostly just elderly people exercising and moms with kids. She picked up her package, took it back to her apartment, and opened it to find a bunch of small parts. After some assembly, she ended up with a device about the length of a finger. She clipped this newly assembled gadget into her hair, where it looked like an ordinary hairpin and wouldn’t attract attention.With limi
Eulalia’s face paled, her eyes misting with tears. “I... I just want to end our contract…” She struggled, but Cylus’s grip was too strong. She trembled like a leaf in the wind.Cylus glared at her, deleting the recording and formatting the phone for good measure. He then smashed it on the floor, shattering the screen.“No…”After searching her thoroughly to ensure she had no other recording devices, Cylus yanked her by the hair, throwing her to the ground. Her small, terrified face looked up at him, eyes wide like a frightened deer.“Unless you pay the breach penalty, an astronomical amount, you can’t end the contract,” Cylus sneered.Eulalia shook her head fearfully.“Then behave and stop with these tricks. You think you can outsmart me? Pathetic.” He raised his hand and slapped her hard. She tried to dodge, but her neck still took the blow. She crumpled to the floor, clutching her neck as tears streamed down her face.Lying on the ground, she curled up defensively, sobbing. “the com
Luckily, the protective film did its job and didn't get damaged. It would've been such a waste to sacrifice a phone just to deal with some scumbag.The phone got wiped clean, and the recordings were gone. Recovery was out of the question. But Eulalia never intended to use the phone to trap Cylus. Cylus has been in the entertainment industry for a long time; his guard is pretty high. He wouldn't easily spill the beans. But he has a major flaw—he can't handle anger.He's like a string of firecrackers ready to explode or a balloon that pops with the slightest prick. People tend to say things they've bottled up when they're emotional. Cylus had been annoyed with her since yesterday, holding it in until today, looking for an easy target to release it on. Eulalia, who he saw as worthless, was the perfect target. Plus, Evette, who was with him, didn't like him either.Sure enough, she easily got him to say more than she expected, and the content was even richer than she'd hoped.Eulalia took
“You weren’t like this before, were you?” Same face, but definitely not the same pushover. How could someone change this much? It’s like she’s a different person. If she had always been like this, hewouldn’t have underestimated her.“Well, think of me as having a split personality then. Get used to this version of me, and if you can’t, I’ll make sure you remember me vividly.”Eulalia tossed the magazine she was holding onto the table and said in an orderly manner, “I want the money transferred to me before midnight, and the termination contract sent to my email by the weekend.”Cylus’ face twisted, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t terminate the contract?”“I don’t want to terminate it now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t want to in the future. Do you really think your lousy co
Percival watched the car drive away, feeling a sudden emptiness inside. How could someone have eyes so similar to hers? The way she looked at him was exactly like in his dreams, and just thinking about it brought him immense pain.Oliver ran up to him, out of breath. “Boss, what’s up?”Percival murmured, “I just saw Eulalia.”Oliver paused, thinking back to the scene. “You mean the woman who just got in the elevator was Eulalia?”Percival didn’t reply, but his silence was confirmation enough.The woman who got in the elevator was wearing a mask that covered her face entirely, showing only her eyes. Oliver couldn’t understand how Percival recognized her as Eulalia.Besides, Eulalia had died three years ago, burned alive on a snowy Christmas day. They all knew that.“Boss, she’s been dead for three years. There’s no way you saw her.”
Back then, Ms. Hayak wanted to take Misty away, but Misty refused to leave. She absolutely refused to leave that empty mansion.Her legs were badly injured at the time. Even after recovery, she walked with a limp - a lifelong injury.The once beautiful ragdoll cat was left with only one ear after the terrible fire, and her fur was patchy. Percival kept glancing at the selfie Eulalia had taken with the cat.It was hard to believe this was the same gorgeous ragdoll from the photo.Misty became lonely after Eulalia died, eating and sleeping all alone. She spent most of her time in places Eulalia used to hang out.Percival tried to approach her, but always ended up scratched and bitten. Eventually he gave up and just filled her food bowl daily. He left the litter box cleaning to the daily cleaning service.After putting out cat food and water, Percival went upstairs with his pajamas to shower.He took a cold shower. With his clothes off, various scars were visible on his skin - knife mark
