Davina Rowe looked at Director Wright in a panic, "Direc... Director Wright, I... please let explain..."
Director Wright snorted coldly, "Davina Rowe, you’re using such tricks in my crew. I can’t keep soone as high and mighty as you here anymore. Get out of my crew now!"
Director Wright directly kicked her out of the crew.
Davina Rowe couldn’t utter a single word; she could only look to Justin Xavier for help.
She was brought in by Justin Xavier, and although Director Wright was furious, as long as Justin spoke up to keep her, Director Wright would surely let her stay.
Davina Rowe placed all her hopes on Justin Xavier.
But Justin Xavier showed no reaction, not even intending to speak. Davina just saw his cold black eyes fall on her face, which seed calm on the surface, but had a few sharp glints of coldness underneath.
Davina shivered for no reason. She suddenly realized how foolish she was. She had drugged Leah Thorne and still dared to hope that Justin Xavier would save her. Not killing her was already the greatest rcy Justin could offer.
"Davina Rowe, pack your things and get out of the crew. I don’t want to see you again!" With that, Director Wright flicked his sleeve and left.
Davina still wanted to plead, but everyone in the crew avoided her like the plague. Ever since she got involved with Justin Xavier, she had beco so arrogant and disrespectful that everyone couldn’t wait for her to leave.
Davina felt like a rat crossing the street, suddenly collapsing to the ground.
Leah Thorne looked down at Davina from above, then turned and walked away. She had warned Davina long ago to not provoke her, lest she end up in trouble.
She’s seen plenty of dirty tricks in the entertainnt industry. Not to ntion that Mada Goldie, with her sharp eyes, had already suspected that clumsy girl. Just one glance at her and Leah knew there was a problem.
She simply turned the tables and swapped the water, making Davina drink the problematic water.
As Leah took a break, Justin Xavier walked over, his tall and graceful figure blocking her path.
Leah ignored him and moved to the left.
Justin Xavier also moved to the left.
Leah moved to the right, and he also moved to the right, blocking her completely.
Leah raised her hand to brush her hair from her cheek, then looked up at him with charming eyes, "So, President Xavier, I just dealt with your new favorite. Are you here to teach a lesson and defend your new favorite?"
Justin Xavier looked at her with amusent, his thin lips curving into a doting smile, "Leah, are you sure it’s not my new favorite who pissed you off, so now you’re giving the cold shoulder?"
"... President Xavier, you’re overthinking it."
Justin Xavier reached out his long fingers to pinch her delicate chin, "Then smile for . You were smiling so happily on stage just now, weren’t you?"
Earlier, she was smiling charmingly on stage, but with him, she turned her face in an instant, not giving him a single good look.
Slap.
Leah directly reached out and slapped his hand away. She raised her willow eyebrows and gave him a teasing look, "President Xavier, so many people are watching. Please be mindful."
Justin Xavier withdrew his hand, "The way you say it, it feels like we’re having an affair. Quite thrilling."
Leah ignored him and returned to her dressing table.
Justin Xavier followed her like a puppy, lowering his voice, "Leah, let’s have lunch together. I’ll have my secretary make a reservation."
"No ti."
"Oh, I see. Then I’ll ask again tonight." With that, Justin Xavier walked away.
...
Leah shot a few more scenes, all single shots. In the evening, Director Wright suddenly said, "Leah, our ’Floating Life’ is aiming for awards. Your photo in costu has been released today, and several critics are very interested in our ’Floating Life.’ Tonight, accompany to a dinner to entertain them."
Leah couldn’t refuse, so she nodded, "Okay."
The group went straight to a luxury private room in a six-star hotel. In the car, Mada Goldie handed Leah her phone, "Leah, look, your photo in the cheongsam was released 25 minutes ago, and it’s already topped the trending list. In just 25 minutes, it has over a billion shares and comnts. Leah, I must say, you’re the most incredible actress I’ve ever managed. You’re my greatest achievent."
Leah clicked on the trending comnts,
"Wow, Leah looks stunning in a cheongsam."
"Just opened Weibo and got a beauty shock, Leah is gorgeous, I’m a fan!"
"Another day being a simp, I’m shallow, just a fan of Leah’s looks."
"I’m a fan of Leah’s acting, she’s enchanting just like Anya."
"Where are the haters who said Leah was just a pretty face? Look at her acting, haters have no heart."
Leah read a few comnts and stopped. Sotis she felt that she and Anya were very similar, laughing at life in the midst of indulgence. She wasn’t unaware of the pressure from the outside world at first, but she didn’t care. No one cares about the effort and sweat you put in; outstanding people always speak with their results. Clearly, she submitted a perfect answer sheet.
"Leah, several international luxury cheongsam brands and silk companies have already extended olive branches, wanting you to endorse them. Your comrcial value has risen again," Mada Goldie said with a smile.
Leah looked at the scenery outside the window, "Take care of these arrangents, Mada Goldie. What happened to Davina Rowe?"
"Leah, there’s no wall that doesn’t leak. The strip show Davina staged on stage has already gone viral online. PR couldn’t keep up. She’s now a laughingstock, known as the shortest-serving support actress in history."
"Director Wright isn’t bothering with it either, which is good. Davina brought a wave of attention to ’Floating Life’ with her biggest folly."
Leah nodded and didn’t speak further. Everyone has to pay for what they’ve done; she was never a pushover.
Just then, a "ding" sounded, and her phone chid with a new WeChat ssage.
Justin Xavier asked again if he could invite her to a candlelight dinner that night.
Leah replied with a "No, I’m already booked."
Just then the luxury car stopped at the entrance of the six-star hotel, "Leah, we’re here, let’s get out."
...
At the six-star hotel, in a luxury private room, Leah sat next to Director Wright, with a highly influential critic in the entertainnt circle across from her. Among them was a portly old man whose eyes were fixed on Leah as if they wouldn’t move.
Director Wright stood up and poured the old man a drink, "President Stone, I haven’t seen you in a long ti. I heard you’ve settled abroad."
"Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve been back, and I didn’t expect to find such a rare talent like Miss Thorne in the entertainnt circle."
