Ninian headed to the restroom when she noticed not everyone was there yet. The discomfort that she felt finally disappeared when she washed her arms with cold water for three minutes. No one in her family knew that ever since the assault three years ago, she had become particularly sensitive to outsiders touching her, especially men. Her good upbringing kept her calm on the outside. But deep down, she could feel a wisp of disgust and rejection gradually growing in her heart. Fortunately, this time it was just an accident, and Paul was a close friend of hers. Her discomfort was not too severe, and she could just barely suppress it after rinsing her arm.Ninian returned to normalcy again when she headed back to the set. The shooting went by smoothly. When it ended, Ninian went to the restroom. But someone blocked her way.When she looked up, she saw Agnes staring at her with a hint of jealousy and resentment in her gaze. Agnes’ beautiful and elegant face showed a sinister and
Agnes gritted her teeth, and did not utter a word. ‘How am I supposed to tell her I’m being mean to her because of some trivial matter?!;‘I initially wanted to give the character “Elliot White” to my junior. But Ninian snatched it from me. That is where it all begins.’‘The main reason why I hated Ninian so much is the first time she met Everett. ‘According to the staff, the unruly and unrestrained Abelardo Fitzgerald is a perfect match with the firm yet gentle Elliot White.‘They said that my role as Yolanda in The Boss Lady looks way too old. I looked more like a sister with Abelardo than a partner.‘They said Ninian became more popular than her. They also said that her acting skill is much better than mine too! My popularity as an actress has become an undeserved reputation.Agnes was so angry that she wanted to smash things in the dressing room, but she could not.‘I’m an actress, I need to be gentle and dignified. I have my own pride. Ninian is just a low-tier rookie. I
When she went back to the shooting site, she saw Lana searching for her with an anxious expression. When Lana saw her, she sighed in relief.“Ninian! You’re finally back!” Lana said, “Someone told me that you had a conflict with the female lead, Agnes Mitchell. Is that true?”Ninian quirked her eyebrows in surprise.They got to know about it so quickly?When Lana saw Ninian’s expression, she understood everything. Her expression instantly changed, and she angrily rolled her sleeves up. “Did she bully you again? She crossed the line! Not only is she acting as she pleases in the production group because of her status as the main lead, but she’s also even targeting you repeatedly! I’m going to beat her up!”“I’m fine! It’s okay!” Ninian immediately pulled her back, and she helplessly said, “She was acting like a crazy maniac all by herself, but I’m fine. I also don’t want to hold it against someone who has a mental problem.”It was only after Lana heard it that she snorted in frustr
In the crew, Ninian went back home with Lana after filming the last scene.When she sat in the car, she subconsciously clutched at her heart. She felt suffocated for some reason.Lana, who was in the passenger seat in front, still kept talking, but Ninian did not hear anything at all. She leaned back on the seat at the back, and she looked lost.“This is what people mean by ‘a bad penny always comes back’. Am I right, Ninian?” Lana’s nosy tone was filled with joy at others’ misfortune.Ninian slowly raised her head, looked at Lana, and asked, “Lana, is it possible for you to get Zayn’s contact number?”“Of course… hmm? Who?” Zayn? Everett’s agent?Lana looked at Ninian in surprise. “Ninian, you…” Lana looked slightly troubled. Ninian shyly lowered her head, and she blushed slightly.She actually did not intend to bother Everett.But Everett did not come these two days, and she had grown anxious. Her anxiety seemed to become stronger, especially after Agnes caused that scene t
But Everett was like a lone beast that had lost his rationality. As he frenziedly struggled and resisted, he kicked the doctors to the floor, where they remained, unable to get up.When Zayn saw that the situation was getting out of control, he gritted his teeth and got ready to get up, but his phone suddenly rang. He unintentionally cast a glance, and he saw an extremely familiar number on the screen.“Mr. Craig!” Zayn was surprised and happy. He immediately said, “It’s Ms. Ninian Winters! She’s calling you!”The name Ninian Winters was heard by Everett like a spell.His gesture of throwing a punch instantly paused in the air.Soberness and struggle crossed his cloudy eyes, which was very rare.When Zayn saw it, he immediately picked up the phone, walked forward, and showed it to Everett. “Look, Mr. Craig, it’s really Ms. Winters’ number. Do you want her to find out about your situation now?”His words made Everett’s complexion instantly turn pale.The cloudiness in his eyes f
As a die-hard fan, Ninian knew that Everett came from a mysterious and powerful family.But she never used her family’s power to investigate Everett’s background because her gratitude and admiration for Everett were always pure.If he did not want to expose it, she would also not want to know.Ninian was no longer worried. After she thanked Zayn, she was about to hang up.But Zayn stopped her.“Hang on, Miss Winters,” Zayn said, “Let’s add each other on Whatsapp. Is this number yours?”Ninian was slightly dumbfounded. “Huh?”Everett also looked at him. His gaze was cold and profound, and it was filled with killing intent and a desire for exclusivity that was perverted and lethal.Zayn stroked his nose, and he felt slightly helpless. Who was he doing this for?While being glared at by Everett’s death glare, Zayn immediately said, “Everett and you are partners in the set, and you’re also a celebrity whom he doesn’t really reject, which is rare. So, if anything happens, we might
Zayn did not stop walking. His back still appeared determined, but his eyes were filled with doubt and hesitation.Would this really happen?When Zayn thought of Ninian’s smiling eyes and the lights in her eyes that could not be hidden when she faced Mr. Craig, Zayn’s heart calmed down slightly.Perhaps Ninian would be the only hope in this tragedy.After Ninian went back, her phone received a new message about a friend request on Whatsapp.There were only two simple words. [Cloud Entertainment]Cloud Entertainment was Everett’s agency, and it was also one of the biggest media corporations in the entertainment industry currently. When everyone heard Cloud, they would think of Everett by reflex.The person who added her on Whatsapp must be Zayn, Everett’s assistant, whom she had just spoken to on the phone.After Ninian clicked to approve, she thought for a while, and she sent out a message for greetings. [Hi, Mr. Barnes!]After all, Zayn was Everett’s agent, and he had taken t
The girl was always gentle, soft, and cute. But she looked serious and stern at that moment, which was rare. Her clear and brown doe eyes were somber.“I did a little digging on the incident just now.” Ninian looked at everyone and said, “The culprit did not accidentally injure Agnes purely because he was drunk driving. He and Agnes have had bad blood for a long time, and they’re siblings with different fathers. Before this accident, they already had many conflicts. A week ago, the culprit announced that he would kill Agnes.“This incident has also been recorded in the police’s files, and it’s considered a case of personal grudge in Agnes’ family. It has nothing to do with Everett.” Ninian raised her chin. Her gaze was indifferent, and her tone was low. “So, I hope you won’t discuss this again to avoid causing further conflict that involves innocent people.”Right after she spoke, everyone in the room was shocked.Firstly, it was rare for this soft-spoken young girl to appear so fi
