Abel was in Blakewell Corporation, but he was also absent-minded all afternoon. He gave it some thought and felt that what Mrs. Greenwell said made sense. Ruth was not someone who made trouble out of nothing.But what other mistake did he make?The phone on the table vibrated. It was a call from Apollo. Abel frowned and answered it. “What’s the matter?”Apollo sounded flustered and anxious. “Does Ruth know the truth?”“Yeah. What’s wrong?”The calm answer made Apollo splutter.Did Abel just ask him what was wrong?“You don’t sound anxious at all. She didn’t get angry at you and just accepted the truth peacefully?” Yet she told him to eat sh*t. How unfair.Abel’s silence made Apollo relax. “So she got angry, right? Aren’t you anxious after doing something wrong?”Abel sounded helpless. “I apologized to her, but she didn’t accept it.”The underlying message was this: There’s nothing else I can do.“You only apologized to her? Did you do anything else?”“What else?”Apollo wa
“How many takes has it been? Are you picking on me?” Eislyn’s expression instantly changed, and her voice became sharp and mean. “The original script was good enough. Why did she change it? To highlight that she is the head screenwriter?”Hugo frowned in displeasure. “You haven’t read the edited script?”Eislyn spluttered. “I’d act like this even if I had read the edited script! This is how Maia is. You can’t force me to change her character! I’m tired. Let’s end today’s shooting.”After saying that, she threw the props away and turned to leave.Her manager immediately rushed forward and gave her coffee and a fan. The manager also comforted her and asked her to calm down.Why should she calm down?The people who were angry were the staff of the production team!They had been filming this scene for two days, but the director was still not satisfied. The filming had also ended like this yesterday.All the actors of the drama were newbies, so Eislyn was the most famous among them.
Summer was stunned by her yelling and did not dare to say anything. She bit her lip while feeling wronged.It was true that they had to repeat a scene in the afternoon once because she forgot her lines.At that time, something was wrong with Eislyn’s gaze, so she paused for a second.However, the director did not stop them. Yet when she wanted to say her lines, Eislyn started scolding her.After Summer admitted her mistake by staying silent, Eislyn smiled proudly. Then, she turned and went for Hugo. “And you! You can’t handle something as basic as coordinating time, but you dare to lecture other people. I wasn’t interested in this web drama, but I accepted it because of Vincent, yet the reality of its filming has disappointed me!”Her manager chimed in as well. “Yeah! Eislyn is a famous actress. It’s your honor to cooperate with her! But if you keep that attitude, we won’t be able to continue working with you! I’ll make it clear in front of Miss Ruth. If you don’t apologize to us,
Her words sounded familiar. They were clearly what Hugo meant earlier. Ruth just expressed them in a different manner and tone.When Hugo suggested reshooting that scene, he said, “I think we need to reshoot it.” On the other hand, Ruth concisely said, “No, reshoot it.” She also scolded Eislyn mercilessly after that.Hugo used “please bear with it” when he asked Eislyn to stay, while Ruth gave an order by saying, “No one will leave until the shooting is finished.”When Ruth said they did not hire Eislyn to give attitude to the investors, it clearly meant that she had seen what had happened.She did not believe a single word of Eislyn’s lies.Everyone was delighted.Eislyn was used to putting on a fake nice act. Whenever Vincent or Terran came, she pretended to be professional, and no one could find fault with her.However, the moment Vincent and Terran were not present, she looked for trouble in various ways.Anyway, she was not cooperative and walked with her head up to show
When Hugo said to prepare for the next scene, his words were directed to the staff. The others quickly left to get ready for the next scene. They were afraid of getting involved in the argument.Summer was happy and nervous. She hurriedly turned around to go and touch up her makeup.She was happy because Ruth did not believe Eislyn’s nonsense, but she was nervous because she was afraid that she would not do well later.The company hired many teachers for her and spent a lot of time and energy training her. She could not let Ruth down.“Summer.” A cold voice stopped her from leaving. “Come here.”Summer stopped and trembled. She slowly walked to Ruth. “Miss Ruth…”“Don’t put on that pitiful look. Would I beat you?” Ruth frowned and felt speechless when looking at her.Summer hurriedly shook her head. “No!” Ruth looked at the slap mark on Summer’s face and frowned even more. “When you go back, ask Mr. Herbert to hire a martial arts instructor for you.”Summer looked confused. “
When Eislyn was slapped for the fifth time, the atmosphere was very tense. Everyone could tell that Eislyn’s patience had run out.“Cut!” Hugo yelled for the last time. He secretly turned around to look at Ruth and asked a question with his gaze.Before they started shooting, Ruth told him he should use unreasonable methods to deal with unreasonable people. Besides, Ruth would not allow her artist to be bullied. She had to get back at Eislyn.With a skeptical attitude, he started to nitpick and find fault with Summer. However, Ruth did not say anything.Hugo knew what he should do.After repeating the same scene multiple times, it was about time to stop, right?Ruth sensed his nervous gaze and sighed helplessly. She played the villain and said, “It’s just so-so. I think the first take was better.”The others were dumbfounded, while Eislyn was shocked.She thought. “This b*tch must be picking on me!”With a swollen face, she glared at Ruth like a poisonous snake.However, Ruth
Ruth froze, and many things instantly flashed through her mind.She thought. “How does he know I am in the restroom?“Did he hire an informer to spy on me?“More importantly, is he laughing at me?”Ruth pondered over it and cautiously sent three question marks. [???]She immediately received Abel’s reply. He gave a concise explanation. [I heard you are at the filming spot of Strawberry Season, so I came to pick you up from work.]Ruth was silent.Honestly, this was not the best plan, but it was the only plan now, and she had no choice.She called Abel. However, as soon as Abel answered, she hung up.What tone should she use to tell him?It was too embarrassing to ask for help.After hesitating for a few seconds, she typed in the chat. [Help me buy something…]She deleted what she had typed and sent another message in a self-righteous tone. [Buy this for me and come here.]She knew Abel was superior and did not know much about common people’s things. He probably did not kno
“You want me to give it to you through the door?” Abel asked in displeasure. His words had a hint of sarcasm.Ruth did not notice it. She was in disbelief. “Is there another option? Or maybe you want to help me?”Her rude tone probably lessened the embarrassment. She bit the bullet, unlocked the door bolt, and slightly opened the door.She stretched her hand and said stiffly, “Give me!”Hearing the sound of the door opening, Abel looked away.His good manners made him turn away.After hesitating for a few seconds, he convinced himself and stiffly stretched his hand to pass the thing over.It was a small box.Ruth took it, closed the door with a bang, and locked the door bolt.When she saw the delicate small box, she frowned with a puzzled look. She thought. “What is this thing? A new compressed sanitary pad?”She looked carefully and opened it. A huge pink diamond appeared and brightened the cramped, smelly environment.However, Ruth was bursting with anger. “Abel Blakewell!
