However, it was a surprise that Grace had come here as an extra!
It was a great pleasure to be able to show off in front of these two people.
After they finished the second rehearsal, the director was about to start filming when Evelyn suddenly said, “Director, I think they didn’t kneel orderly.”
“Not orderly?” The director was stunned. He felt that it was alright. After all, they were only extras, so it was impossible for them to be completely uniform like soldiers.
“Yes, it’s not orderly. I think it’ll affect the scene. Why don’t they kneel a few more times and practice until it’s neater? I don’t mind practicing with them. After all, I just want a good scene!” Evelyn said as if she was a professional who was doing it for the film’s sake.
Although the director was confused at Evelyn’s sudden request, she was, after all, the entertainment industry prince’s new girlfriend. He could not offend her right now and could only try his best to meet her requirements.
Therefore, at the director’s command, the extras once again.kneeled.
Grace, of course, kneeled and groveled with the others.
Evelyn was intentionally standing in front of her, making it seem that Grace was kneeling and groveling to her.
Grace knew that Evelyn was doing it intentionally, but now, it seemed that even the director was following Evelyn’s lead.
Unless she no longer wanted her part-time salary, she would have to obediently follow orders.
Thinking about how she still owed Lina her grandmother’s medical bills, Grace gnashed her teeth and forced herself to hold on.
Although she knew that Lina would not urge her to pay back the money, she owed Lina enough already and could not keep on accumulating her debt.
Over and over, Grace knelt, groveled, and got up… This repeated again and again.
The other extras became increasingly agitated as well as they knelt over and over again. Some people even shouted for more money and that they should not trouble people like that.
The director saw the extras’ mood getting worse and worse, so he sent the assistant director over to ask Evelyn for her opinion.
Seeing this, Evelyn pretended to think before saying,
“How about this? I think she did a great job. She has a good posture, and her timing is right. Why don’t she give a demonstration to the other extras so that the others can watch and learn? Once they’ve observed how to do it correctly, they can practice again. It’ll save us the effort.”
It was Grace she was referring to.
“However, I don’t know whether this extra is willing to demonstrate for everyone. After all, she will be more tired than the others.”
Evelyn looked like she had her best interest at heart.
“Why not? There’s no problem if we give her more money for it.” The assistant director was overjoyed. After all, it was better to trouble one extra than the entire crew of extras.
If so many extras went on strike, not only would it be difficult to find so many replacements at once, but it was also easy to cause a stir.
It was much easier to get one person to kneel and grovel.
Therefore, the assistant director asked Grace to come forward and asked her to demonstrate for an extra 200
dollars. If she was unwilling to do it, she would be considered as breaching the contract. That would mean that she would have to leave with zero bucks.
Grace looked at Evelyn who was standing only a few steps away. She found the smile on Evelyn’s face offensive.
She knew that Evelyn was doing it on purpose. Whatever demonstration Evelyn requested for was just to embarrass
Grace. However, 330 dollars a day was a lot for her.
Besides, her knees had long been bent and she suffered plenty more humiliations in prison prior to this. To kneel and grovel was better than the torments she had suffered in prison.
Grace looked past the assistant director to meet Evelyn’s gaze. Then, she slowly smirked and affirmatively responded with four words, “All right, I’ll kneel!”
Grace ran up to Evelyn with a calm look on her face. She was neither sad nor happy. She calmly asked Evelyn, “Shall I start the demonstration now?”
“Ah… Yes!” Evelyn answered, stammering a little.
How could she react differently than she had expected? Grace should at least be mortified or unwilling.
Only in this way could she feel proud and show off in front of her.
Now, however, Grace’s deadpan demonstration of kneeling and groveling in a perfectly standard pose left no room for error. This also left Evelyn entirely without any sense of triumph.
This situation made it seem like Evelyn was the embarrassed one! ‘Well, since Grace is going to be a robot, I’ll let her kneel till kingdom come!’ Evelyn loathingly whispered in her heart.
Sitting in the air-conditioned room, Lily listened as her assistant described the situation of the shooting. Her assistant even filmed Grace kneeling with her mobile phone and handed it to Lily to look at.
Watching the video of Grace kneeling, Lily unknowingly smirked. “Some people just want to die and others can’t stop them.”
“Isn’t it? This extra seems to have offended Evelyn, which explains why she’s always getting picked on by Evelyn.
Everyone in the film crew knows that Evelyn can’t be offended…” As the assistant spoke, she found herself saying something she should not have.
Immediately, the assistant paled and said to Lily, “I’m sorry I said the wrong thing. This Evelyn is just flaunting her power by taking advantage of the fact that she is Master Hart’s girlfriend. Once Master Hart dumps her, let’s not even talk about the second female lead. She won’t even be qualified to be a fifth female lead!”
Lily calmly said, “Alright, you don’t have to tell me that.”
Evelyn had not given her a positive attitude since she joined the crew. Every time they met, they would find themselves in an argument.
Naturally, Lily knew that Evelyn was trying to strut her stuff in front of her to work off her feelings from before.
Lily certainly did not take Evelyn seriously. She was born in a small family but was lucky enough to attract Brian. However, it was well known in the high society that each and every one of Brian’s girlfriends had a short shelf life. However, they still had no clue how many months she could remain as his girlfriend.
The more arrogant Evelyn was now, the more she would suffer in the future.
“The one who has a death wish is not the extra,” Lily said with great interest.
The assistant was surprised. It was not the extra? Then, was
Lily talking about… Evelyn?!
However, Evelyn was just troubling this small-time extra, right? What background did this extra have that Evelyn could lose out?
The one backing Evelyn was the crown prince of the entertainment industry!
However, Lily did not bother to explain either. She just rewatched the video recorded by her assistant.
It’s such an interesting novel. I love it
