Ailina’s POV:In a week, I was familiar with all the procedures of the marketing department and finished reading the materials about Bill clothing, so I didn’t have to work overtime anymore.Just as I got up the work on Friday night. I received a call from Cathy.“Ailina, come to my house for our dinner this weekend!”Only then did I remember that the weekend was Cathy’s birthday. I patted my forehead and said, “I almost forgot your birthday. I will certainly be here.”“Alight, I will wait for you!”After hanging up the phone, I thought about buying a birthday present for Cathy, so I didn’t go home and went straight to the mall.To be honest, I didn’t understand, nor did I know what she liked. When my mother was still alive, she would often take me to the small country to see Cathy. After my mother left, to be honest, I never thought of going to see Cathy. At that time, I was just an idiot, only thinking of going out with Darren all day long.I didn’t even know that something like tha
Ailina’s POV:I looked at her with a cold gaze. She seemed to be scared and went to hide behind Richard.He protected Vivian behind him and looked at me coldly.I said indifferently, “Firstly, I bought this camera for myself. It has nothing to do with you guys. You don’t have to feel too good about yourself. Secondly, Dad is not your uncle. Your aunt and he is not married.”“So what? Even though they don’t get married, he is also my uncle. They live together, then they are family. Furthermore, the Wilson have recognized Hallie is now the second miss of the family.” Vivian raised her chin arrogantly.I sneered, “So you don’t understand? Living in someone else’s house without getting married is called having an affair. She even gave birth to a child. In the end, this child is just a bastard!”Hearing this Hallie trembled with anger, and she was crying all the time.Darren held her in his embrace and tried his best to comfort her. “Don’t listen to her nonsense.”I handed the camera to th
Cathy’s POV:I sat down where Mom was sitting. When I saw the camera, my expression changed. “Ailina, why did you buy such an expensive camera?”Mom and Dad didn’t know the price of this camera, but I did. When I was shopping in the mall, I saw it and and the price was ridiculously high.“How can I possibly give you a cheap birthday present?” Ailina smiled and said, “Here, give it a try.”I picked up the camera from the box, wanting to put it away. “I can’t take this. Take it back and return it tomorrow.”Ailina pulled my arm. “No! This is a gift I bought for you. If you don’t like it, give it to Aunty. Then you can tell me what you like and I will buy it for you.”Hearing that my eyes turned red. “Alina, I know you want to be generous to us, but there is no need to buy such expensive thing. We will feel burdened.”“What burden?” She didn’t seem to understand.‘How could a person living in a paradise know the hardship of a person living in a hell?’ I thought.I answered with a bitter
Ailina’s POV:During the meal, Tony and Flora kept picking food for me. I smiled and said, “Aunty, Uncle, I’m not having a birthday today, but someone else is.”I picked the piece of rib and placed it into Cathy’s bowl.She smirked and said, “I’m going to get jealous of you. It turns out that my parents love you more than me!”Flora stretched out her hand and poked Cathy’s forehead. “Why are you jealous? You can eat at home everyday, but Alina rarely comes to eat with us.”Although she said this, she still picked up a roasted pork for Cathy.After dinner, I helped Flora tie up the kitchen before leaving.When I went downstairs, I saw a sports car parked in front of Cathy’s house. I took a look at the license plate and noticed that it was Bruce’s car.I could never forget the look of his car.I walked to the front of the car and knocked on the window. Bruce rolled down the window, smiled, and asked, “Ailina, why are you here?”“Why you didn’t leave and why not go upstairs?” I didn’t an
Selena’s POV:As we were waiting for going for the audition, a few people started to complain.“What’s going on? Our agent decides to take time off, so who is going to take us there?”“That’s right. We must not be late for the audition of the Lowering the Bid today. This is Director Lewis project. I heard that anyone who showed up in his movie ended up being a big star. Besides, all the characters are essential to his project.”“That’s all owing to a good scriptwriter. Director Lewis only adopts the scripts written by Phoenix, who happens to be the scriptwriter I admired the most.“I heard that every edition of Phoenix book was sold out quickly, but she seldom leaves her signature. I really want a book with her autograph.”“I want it too.”As everyone was discussing the audition and the screenwriter, I did not speak or move.I stood there quietly and my hands were covered in a sweat.She was once a popular actress. I made a blockbuster called “Summer Day,” and it sold for 2.5 billion
Selena’s POV:With the movement, I heard Ailina’s voice, and my entire body began to shiver. This was indeed Miss Wilson’s voice. I couldn’t remember it wrong.I slowly raised my head and saw Ailina’s calm and gorgeous face.She seemed to be more mature and more feminine compared to the girl two years ago, but she was so more indifferent now.“Miss Wilson!” I muttered. My voice is tumbling.After two years, I finally met Miss Wilson again.Two years ago, Miss Wilson helped me to reach the peak of my life, but in these two years, when she was away, I almost ruined everything that she had given me.His gaze fell on my face, and she frowned slightly. “Didn’t you know what day it is today? How could you hurt your face?”I lowered my head and apologized, “I’m sorry.”She looked at the wound on my face.Then, she walked over and looked at me asking, “Sorry, for what?”She was stunned and a little confused. To be honest, I felt that I wasn’t wrong, but Miss Wilson seemed to be angry. So, I h
Selena' POV:Ailina shook her head and looked at the RV parked not far from her.The door opened. The first get out of for two security guards, followed by girl wearing a glasses and a woman in a professional dress with her hair tied up. Finally surrounded by these people, a woman wearing a long, white dress slowly walked down.The rookie from JK Entertainment exclaimed. “Wow, this is Anya Blake, the director’s exclusive actress.”“So beautiful!”“So imposing. Look at how many people are serving her when she goes out. Assistant, agent, and so many bodyguards.”A few girls looked at her with envious eyes.“When can we be like her? A-first-rate star?”“This time, if we get the role in Lewis’ movie, we will be closer to her status.”They continued to move forward, wanting to see Anya, but the security guards blocked them with their hands.When Anya entered the building, Ailina put away her phone and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go in.”“I really didn’t expect she would also come today. We are
Selena’s POV:I wanted to say that the female lead I played in “Summer Day” was also an innocent cute little girl, but halfway through I swallowed back my words.Ailina ruminated for a while and said, “The hardest part of this character is that the span of the acting. If you want to make yourself different from others, you must show your good understanding of the three extremes of this role. Therefore, I suggest that you will play the innocent part in 30 seconds, then switch to her mental broke down and evil part in 30 seconds, and play the emotional changes from despair to calm in the last 30 seconds.”“But…” I am a little hesitant. “Changing moods of three kinds in only one or two minutes is too challenging. I’m afraid, I can’t.”“One can change her mood in just a few seconds, let alone half a minute. If you can’t do it,” She said coldly, “Why sticking to being an actress?”I lowered my head and became silent.Alina continued, “As an actress, you should know that acting is not real.
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
