Ailina’s POV:After walking out of the coffee shop, I checked the time, and it was already six o’clock in the afternoon. But Ricky still had not sent me a text message given a phone call.I suddenly felt chagrined.‘What does what he said last night was just casual talk. Perhaps he still felt a little lonely when no customers come for him.’I then sent Ricky two text messages. But who would expect that he still didn’t reply to my message?Thinking of it, I cursed in her heart. ‘Stupid Ricky! What the hell are you doing?”At this time, there was not much to do outside. So, I took a taxi home.It wasn’t until eight PM that received a phone call from Ricky Alfonzo.When the phone rang, my heart was beating with joy. However, thinking about how he had not contacted me all day, I deliberately put the phone on hold and wanted to answer it later.But the phone hung up.I gritted my teeth and cursed. “Fuck, you! Ricky Alfonzo! Go to the hell!”Then I sat by the bed and waited for the phone to
Ailina’s POV:I rolled down the window, not wanting to speak anymore.When the car arrived downtown, I broke the silence. “What do you want to eat?”He thought for a while and said, “It has been too long since I ate something, and I can’t even feel the hunger. I will eat anything that can make me stuffed.”I looked out and said, “Porridge? Well, it’s not that I don’t want to treat you a big meal. I just feel that your stomach need some care right now.”“Alright!” Ricky curved his lips and looked at me, saying, “I know that you are thinking of me.”“Short of!” I answered.Silence invaded every corner inside the car. Ricky was driving a template while I was sitting in the passenger seat and looking outside to find a good shop.“Mmm…hmmm.”Suddenly, he let out a snort. The car shook violently and stopped at the roadside.I was surprised. I turned to look at him and saw him holding the steering wheel with one hand and covering his stomach with the other. His eyebrows were slightly furrowe
Rican’s POV:Hearing Ailina’s question, I suddenly felt warm in my heart. Since I was a kid, I had never felt this way.‘This was a perchance… the feeling of home!’I got her from the sofa and went to the kitchen. “I’ll get it for you.”“Don’t, I can do it myself…”However, before the whole sentence was spat, I stretched my hands and pulled open the top cupboard. Then, I took out a bag of vacuum-packaged fragrant rice.Well, to be honest, this cupboard was so high that she couldn’t even reach it. So, forget what she said.“Here!” I handed the bag of rice to Ailina.She took it and said, “Go and rest.”I turned to leave, but I stopped at the door and watched her. She looked at the kitchen utensils, perplexed. Then, she took out her phone and looked up the tutorials online.She carefully read the steps and silently repeated them.“Wash the rise first, but don’t rub it too hard…”As she read, she poured the rice into the pot and slowly rubbed it.Looking at the girls, clumsy actions and
Ailina’s POV:I clenched my fists. Even if I was afraid, I had to face it. In the future, I would be alone and have to deal with everything myself.The night my mother died, it was also raining heavily. That day, Darren accompanied me for day and night. That was why I decided and was willing to give up everything for him.But now, there was no one else who could do for me. I was alone, and I had to overcome all of my fears.“Take my car and drive home.” He throws the car keys over. “It's not safe for girls to stand on the street at night.”I caught it and agreed without hesitation. “I will return it tomorrow.”When I went downstairs to drive the car, I realized that it was a Maserati.‘It probably belongs to his customer!’ I thought.I drove his car and speeded back home.However, every lightning bolt and thunderclap would still frighten me. I tightly gripped the steering wheel and in my mind, flashed the scene of my mother’s death.At the time, I was so thin that my body was deformed
Ailina’s POV:I filled up the tank and drove it to the car shop for maintenance. The car belonged to Ricky’s customer who lent it to me. So, the customer would not be happy about it. Besides, I naturally couldn’t bring any trouble to Ricky anymore.It would take some time for car maintenance. So, I left the car in the 4S shop and took a taxi to Leon’s place.On the way, I received a phone call from Maria.“Ailina, your graduation ceremony is one week due. You need to come. Also, every student must invite a parent. Your grades will be announced on this day in front of all the teachers, students as well as parents. Meanwhile, we have invited professional designer as the judges to grade you. Many companies will be present, and they can directly sign contract with outstanding graduates.”Hearing Maria's words, I couldn’t help but frown. “Do you still need to invite a parent?”“Yes.” Maria affirmed. “You must invite your parents, otherwise you can’t graduate.”“I see.” I quickly answered a
Ailina’s POV:I got in the car and said, “You Maserati is in 4S shop for maintenance. I was going to take a taxi to pick it up and give it to you.”“There is no hurry.” He said indifferently. “You can keep it for now.”I didn’t know what to say.‘I was indeed in a hurry, okay? I didn’t know whose car it was. I drove it once, filled it with gas, and even maintained it. I couldn’t afford to keep it!“No, thank you. I’m not used to driving it!” I said.“Which 4S shop? I will pick it up tomorrow?” He said.I told the address and he nodded. He didn’t say anything else and then focused on driving.I looked at his hand. His hands are slender and beautiful.Suddenly, a blue sports car overtook us from behind. We were in a dense traffic zone, but that car seemed to be crazy, directly ruining the red light and almost crashing into ours.Ricky reacted fast. He quickly turned left when the blue car was above to overtake us. After the car passed, he quickly turned right, avoiding the car on the le
Bruce’s POV:I looked at Ailina in surprise. Three years ago, the organizer and investor of Black Panther had suddenly vanished, leading the team to be forgotten. Black Panther was once my dream.Unfortunately, the team disabled me after I had just become one of them. I had disappeared for a long time since then.During the past three years, I have not heard any news about Black Panther. I was indeed shocked when hearing a little girl talk about it.“You know about Black Panther.” I asked in surprise.“Don’t embarrass the team.” Ailina said.“Black Panther is dead now. Don’t show off in front of me. How ridiculous! I can do whatever I want. Its none of your business!” I stuffed the piece of gum into my mouth and said ruffianly.“If I win, you must listen to me in the future.” Ailina said.“You want to win?” I was extremely amused. “How? By that Volkswagen?”“Exactly.” She said and looked at the man beside her uncertainly.“Be my guest.” the man said. “But I have to sit in the passenge
Rican’s POV:Sitting in the car, Ailina asked, “Am I nosy?”I shook my head. “I think you are merely you want to show off your driving skills to me?”“No, I was simply noisy.” She raised her eyebrows.I only smiled and didn’t say anything else.We arrived at the restaurant selling spicy hotpot. The food here was all threaded to skewers.I had never been to a place like this before, and he had not been used to the for a while. However, Ailina was quite at ease. She opened the can of beer and continued to put the food on the skewers into the spicy broth.“My mother used to say that one cannot always hold his/her horses. This world is delicious. Be free to eat whatever you like.” She poured a glass of beer for me. “Come on cheers.”I shook my head. “I have to drive. You taught others to be a obey traffic rules yet now you want to get me drunk?”She laughed. “Don’t do you know about substitute driving?”I smiled and took a sip of the beer that she had handed over. I didn’t think that cup
Harold’s POV:The first scene is of a noble consort meeting a general.“Action.”Ailina’s performance was still steady. She handled her facial expression properly and even added more little finger movements.I looked at the way she integrated herself into the role and felt chill. My so-called performance was only performed with skills, but Ailina seemed to have poured all her feelings into it, and she could still control them freely. It seemed that her acting skills had reached a certain level.I tried my best to calm myself down, afraid that I would not be able to keep up with the play last time.Fortunately, this time I had put in all my efforts and played a scene with Ailina.I took a step back, lifted my robe, and knelt on both knees. My body was bent, but my back was still straight.”“Thank you for your, Grace.” I bowed respectfully and recited my numb voice. “Thank you. for your Grace.”However, when I looked up again, there was a light in my eyes. It seemed that the Imperial Co
Ailina’s POV:After I put on my makeup, I took the script that I had changed and told Jane that I had changed the lines. She read the revised lines and nodded, saying, “These changes seem to make the script better.”“Then I will act according to the revised script.” She said.“Okay.”After the script was finalized, the makeup of the others was almost done. The filming began.This novel was narrated from the end. It was about a beautiful and kind woman who tried to live a calm and simple life, but she encountered many things. And finally, she reluctantly joined the killer organization.She was no longer kind and used her wisdom and determination to gain the trust of men. She dealt carefully with men and gained a great deal of power.Jane decides to shoot along the development of the novel. In the beginning, the female lead succeeded in being a high-ranking imperial concubine.There would be three scenes at first, which were a conversation between the female lead and the male lead, the
Ailina’s POV:On the first day, I entered the group, all the staff were allocating room. Because I like to be quiet, Jane arranged in the innermost room for me, separated from the other by a glass door.Clara’s room was outside the glass door. She said jealous, “The female lead room is different from ours. She doesn’t even have one. Stay with us. She is superior.”I ignored them and moved my things into my room.However, she continued, “She gets these things because she is the female lady, or something else?”Then the other actress came out. Some actresses who were close to Clara, “It is said that Mr. White is Ailina’s sugar daddy, but Mr. White denies it. I think that there is something wrong with them. I heard that Mr. White went bankrupt. Did Mr. White go to make it clear because of this?”“I think it’s possible. It seemed that Mr. White loved Ailina a lot. He knows that he’s going to bankrupt and break up with his lover so that she can find another financial banker in the future.”
James’ POV:I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the restaurant with Anaya.I had a bad meal. Firstly, I didn’t like the dishes, Anaya ordered. Secondly, I always thought about Jenny’s expression in the parking lot and wanted to go to the boxing club to have a look.“I am done, you?” Anaya asked.I nodded, Me too. You have not eaten much?”She gently wiped her mouth with a napkin and smiled, “Girls need to maintain our figure. So we just eat a little.”“Really?” I recall that Jenny ate all she liked.“Well, do you know how to do boxing? I asked Anaya, suddenly“No. Could you do it?” she denied.“I can. Do you want to take a look?” I asked and continued after a while. “It’s good for girls to learn boxing. It can protect you and lose weight. I am not saying that you are fat. It can strengthen your body.”She said with a smile. “Then I will go with you to take a look. Could you teach me?”I nodded, “Alight, let’s go.”Thus, we headed towards the Boxing Club.After changing clothes, I
James’ POV:Anaya smiled and threw her car key to the mall manager.Then, she held me and took the elevator upstairs.Anaya took the initiative to hold me. I was secretly happy. I turned my head and asked, “You have not eaten yet, right? What do you want to eat?”She said, “I am here for a beauty saloon. But if you have not eaten, I can eat with you.”I nodded, “I have not eaten yet. I’ll book a restaurant then.”“Sure.” She immediately nodded.I quickly made a call and booked a more stylish restaurant.We sat down. Just as we were ordering, my phone rang again. It was a call from the manager. “Mr. James, it didn’t work. She doesn’t want money for compensation. She wants to park the car here. What do you think we should do?”I was stunned and puzzled that there was someone who didn’t want money.In my impression only that tom
Jenny’s POV:After a few days of preparation, Ailina was also officially involved.I called her, “Ailina, do you need an assistant? I see other artists bringing assistants. You are the heroine and isn't inappropriate not to be one.”“I don’t want to. It’s too troublesome.” She replied indifferently. “It’s only two or three months. You have to handle the affairs in JK for these two or three months. Thank you.”I pretended to scold her. “It seems that I don’t usually handle those affairs. You are a good absentee leader. Now you even say such a word.”“Never mind. Isn’t this representative of a big boss? I was just saying that to be nice.” Ailina laughed. ‘It feels really good.”“Well, since you don’t need an assistant, you go by yourself. I am short of hands now. Call me if you need anything.” I said.“I se
Lewis’ POV:I was stunned for a moment, “What chance? I haven’t had any new plays recently. I am still in deep trouble with ‘Joy of Life’.”“It’s ‘Joy of Life’ the film version. Director Jane will shoot the film version of ‘Joy of Life.’ I didn’t get the heroine in the previous play, so I want to act as the heroine in the film version. Jane seems to have already decided on the heroine. Could you put a good word for me with Director Jane? You know, I love acting. My acting skills are personally taught by you. This role is really important to me. Director Lewis, please help me.” Anya pleaded with me.I touched my head. “Well, Anya, you have been in the circle for so long. You should know the rules. The directors usually do not interfere with each other when other choose roles.”Hearing this. Anya’s instantly face turned pale.I comforted her, “
Anya’s POV:I looked at myself in the mirror and touched my face. I immediately took out the makeup remover and took my makeup off.Looking at my slightly exhausted face, I was no longer as pure and fresh as I was back then. My eyes were a little dull, and there were a few wrinkles on my face.I suddenly covered my face and cried. “I can’t go back. I am no longer the original Anya.”The two stylish looked at me in a daze. They were both a little confused about why a first-rate celebrity was so unhappy.John said to them, “You guys leave. I want to talk to Anya.”After the stylish left, he held his hand and said, “Anya one wants you to go back to the past. You don’t want to go back to the past, right?”I nodded and replied, “I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to live like that anymore. I don’t want to be bullied again. I don’t want to have a walk on
Anya’s POV:I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “John, I am sorry. I am just too nervous. I have not worked for half a year; I am just waiting for a ‘Joy of Life.’ My whole year will be wasted if I can’t get the female leading in the film. If an actress doesn’t appear in front of the public for a long time, people will soon forget her. I have been working so hard to become who I am today. I don’t want to give up and I can’t give up.”John also felt sorry for me. He patted me lightly and said, “I know. I know all of this. Anya, we have no choice now. We have failed to take down Ailina. I think you should ask Director Lewis for help. After all, you were once his chief female lead. He will at least give you a face. It is said that he has a good relationship with Director Jane. So go beg Director Lewis to plead for you.”I said through gritted teeth, “Director Lewis is related to Ailina. It was clear when at the scene of ‘Lowering the Bid. Can’t you tell that?”“Then what do you
