The next day, it was Queenie and Edie’s first ti acting together. Susan and Abbey Sanchez in The White-Love-Song were swapped at birth. It was then discovered at the age of fourteen, and they returned to their biological family. They had both fallen in love with the sa man.
Susan and Abbey were the main characters in the film. The whole film revolves around them. It generated the action of the story and engaged the audience’s interest and empathy. The director yelled, "Action," and they took their places on the stage.
There was a knock at the door on the modest apartnt. Abbey had just taken a shower and was wiping her hair when she heard a faint knock on the door. She opened the door. Standing outside was Susan in a white dress.
Abbey’s face quickly cald down, "How do you know where I live? What are you doing here?"
Susan looked a little nervous and bit her lower lip. She looked at Abbey and pointed her finger in and out of the room. She was trying to ask her if she could co in.
Feeling her neighbor’s eyes on her, Abbey hesitated and finally let her in."Co in," she said.
They each sat down on the sofa. Susan’s long, white fingers, along with parts of the body, started moving around. She was using sign language. Signing is like speech and is used instead of speaking.
When Abbey saw that she was trying to tell her sothing, she thought the unthinkable. She had no desire to look at her at all and said impatiently, "Don’t do that, I can’t understand you." Susan did not get angry. She sat there motionless She reached for her bag and took out her small book and pen and wrote in her book, "Hank told you lived here."
Abbey had a flushed face and was sweating when she heard the na, Hank. "I’ve made it clear to Hank that I don’t want him interfering in my life, and I don’t want to have any more contact from you. The affair was ten years ago, and I am trying to erase it from my mind. Please do not force to look back at all the bad mories of the past."
Susan started to panic and writing on the paper as fast as she could. "I am sorry, I didn’t an to upset you. I ca here to give you sothing." Abbey picked up her arm as a defensive gesture.
"Then tell , Miss Wilson, why are you here, and what do you want from ?" Susan put her hand in her bag and took out an envelope ."I heard you haven’t paid off your student loan," she wrote."
Abbey’s eyes were fixed on Susan’s face, and you could see the sarcasm trickling from her eyes, and then a sneer appeared on her face.
"Miss Wilson, you’re just like your father. Twenty-four years ago, Mada Wilson discovered that you could not speak and secretly switched you with another girl in the hospital. Ten years ago, before Mada Wilson died, she told her husband the truth. Mr. Wilson struggled to get you back. All of you rich people are so selfish? I was the girl they chose, and then I beca a Wilson. Then when Mr. Wilson found out the truth, he didn’t want . I originally was Sanchez. I had a wonderful life until he denied of being his daughter. My biological family was poor, and I no longer had any of your rich and noble people serving and taking care of . So why do I deserve to be manipulated by you!"
Susan looked worried, but she, of course, she could not speak. She could only write with her paper and pen. Abbey didn’t want to see what she wrote. She opened the envelope on the table and saw all the money in there.
"Money? What is he trying to do with this? What does Mr. Wilson want from ? He was my father, and he didn’t think twice about giving back. There was no hesitation, and he just passed over like a piece of trash."
"He has sent money before. What do you want? Do you want to pretend it never happened and protect your family na? Then you feel no guilt. Is this what it takes to make you both feel better? That’s impossible, Susan. No way!"
Abbey suddenly broke out in tears and threw the money at Susan. "Susan Wilson! Take your money and get out of here! I can’t be bought, and I will never forgive the Wilson family! This was an evil thing that the Wilson family created, and you and your father can go to hell."
Susan was surprised at Abbey’s actions and left the money lying on the floor. She closed her eyes, and then a tear ca out of the corner of her eye and ran down her cheek.
"Stop!" Director Lane shouted. He had watched the show on the monitor. His eyes were glowing, and he couldn’t help clapping his hands. "That’s great! Perfect! Queenie, you played your part very well," he said.
Queenie and Edie ca out and thanked the director. "Thank you, director." Director Lane laughed. "Edie, the tear that fell down your cheek, that was not in the script, but it was magnificent. You two are a perfect match!"
Edie modestly said, "It was Queenie who played well. I feel so comfortable working with her, and it is easy to let go of my feelings." Queenie took two bottles of mineral water from her assistant and handed Edie a bottle, "It makes very happy to hear you say such wonderful things about ."
Today’s shooting went smoothly, and they were only on take one. They had finished the scene two hours ahead of schedule. The staff was enthused and thanked Queenie, but no one ntioned anything to Edie.
Edie didn’t care. She was in a movie with Queenie. She was so famous and Edie was a new actress. No one knew her and her acting skills, so it was normal for them to not say anything to her.
Queenie saw that no one acknowledged Edie and was a little concerned. She was afraid that Edie might feel left out and instantly ca over to talk to her. "Tired?" she asked.
Edie smiled, "Yes, I am tired, but I can’t tell you enough how happy I am to have the privilege of working with you." Queenie smiled, too, "I am also pleased. I have acted with new actresses before, but I have to say that no has ever been as good as you are today. You should be very proud."
Edie didn’t expect Queenie to be so polite in private. She smiled and said, "Thank you. It ans so much to to hear that coming from you." Queenie told Edie not to worry about the crew mbers, not acknowledging how well her performance was today.
She just said, "Showbiz is the most snobbery place in the world. Everyone cares only about famous people, and they always look down on the infamous actors and actresses."
Edie shook her head. "Honestly, I don’t care about their attitude." Queenie looked at her expression carefully and said, "You are a lot better than . When I first started acting, I was horrible. Everyone looked down on , and it upset so much that I was going to quit acting several tis, but I never gave up. Now look at , I am famous."
It was a lovely thing for Queenie to say. She definitely was a very kind woman. They talked for a while and then her assistant called her. Edie sat down for a mont, as all the people on the set were getting ready to leave. She decided to call Rhoda, "Rhoda, would you like to co with and get sothing to eat?"
Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped, "Miss Edie, please wait." She turned around, and it was the stage supervisor who was running after her panting. "What can I do for you?" she asked.
"Miss Eddie, Miss Queenie forgot her script, and you are staying on the sa floor. Would you mind taking it to her?"
