“I need to see you!” Wearing sungla**es, a face mask, and a baseball cap, Evelyn looked like she was terrified that a celebrity like her would be recognized.
However, she forgot that she and Brian had never been seen together in public and that even though she was now a second female lead in a big-budget film, everyone was on the set treated her well only because they had to give her a little face.
Out in the public, few people actually recognized her. To the general public, she was only a C-list actress.
“What is there to talk about?” Grace gave her a cold look. She then took her cleaning tools and put them on the Sanitation
Service Center’s bicycle before saying to Evelyn, “Excuse me, I
still have work to do.”
With a disgusted glance at the dirty bicycle, Evelyn subconsciously took a step back.
Grace directly got on her bicycle and rode out the Sanitation Service Center’s entrance, leaving Evelyn to stomp her foot in anger. She could only dash out and get a car to follow Grace to the road where she swept.
“Sis, why are you doing this? I came to see you today just to ask you something. We are sisters after all. It’s not very nice of you to do that.” Evelyn now softened her attitude.
However, Grace still ignored Evelyn and started to sweep the rubbish on the road.
Evelyn saw this and frowned a little before following Grace. She said, “Sis, I came here today to apologize for hurting your hand. Sorry about that day!”
“Right, it seems that you didn’t pay me the medical expenses the other day. Please settle the bill,” Grace said.
Evelyn’s face suddenly went stiff, but it was not a time for her to throw a fit. She could only smile, take out her purse, and ask
Grace, “How much is it?”
“It’s 106 dollars,” Grace replied directly.
Evelyn took out 200 dollars and pretended to be generous as she said, “Sis can keep the rest. Consider it a gift.”
Grace scoffed and took the money. “It’s not a gift. It’s that I’m kind enough to only charge you this much. Otherwise, if I were to sue you for harming with intent, how much do you think. you’ll owe me then?”
Evelyn’s face was very red, but luckily she was covered with at mask, so no one could see her.
She almost forgot that Grace used to be a lawyer!
“How can I hurt you on purpose?” Evelyn said, smiling sheepishly. “It was careless of me that day.”
“Is it really necessary for you to act like this before me,
Evelyn?” Grace looked at her with amusement. “You and I both know exactly what kind of person you are, and there’s no one else around here. It’s just making you look like a clown by calling me ‘sis’ and saying you were careless.”
Evelyn almost choked, and her face went dark. “Well then, tell me about your relationship with Brian.”
“I guess that’s what you’re here for today.” Grace looked coldly at her and said, “Is it necessary to tell you what’s my relationship with him?”
“Brian is my boyfriend now. You better not try to seduce him.
Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined, and you’ll get nothing!” Evelyn said sharply.
A ruined reputation? Grace only found her half-sister’s words extremely funny.
Her reputation had already been ruined by the accident three years before. “What am I going to get now?” She made a sarcastic remark.
Evelyn raised her chin. “If you know your place, then I might give you some money to run a small business in the future. It’s better than sweeping the road here, right?”
Anyway, if she did become Mrs. Hart, then having a sister working as a sanitation service worker did not sound great.
Evelyn was quite willing to let Grace go down the drain as much as possible. However, for the sake of maintaining her image in the future, it seemed best to let Grace own a small business. She could even earn some good publicity by supporting her sister regardless of the past.
“Do you think I care about your money?” Grace suddenly burst into laughter. “Besides, how long do you think you can be Brian’s girlfriend for?”
A man like Brian was not at all someone Evelyn could handle.
How could Brian not know Evelyn’s plot?
Besides, she had seen how cold-hearted Brian could be toward his ex-girlfriends.
They said Brian would spoil every woman to the skies when he was dating them. However, when she saw Brian treating his ex-girlfriend like that, she realized that maybe the man had never fallen in love with anyone.
He only spoiled those women to the skies because the things they wanted did not matter to him-money, designer clothes, jewelry, houses, cars, all kinds of resources… To him, they were only simple stuff.
He made women have the illusion that they were being spoiled.
Evelyn took her sungla**es off and stared at Grace, her eyes almost ready to burst into flames. “Grace, Brian is mine!”
“Then you should say this in front of Brian, not in front of me,” Grace said coldly.
“You…” Evelyn groaned before finally turning and walking away quickly.
Since she could not get anything from Grace, there was no point in wasting her time, but… She wanted Grace to pay for what she said today.
What did she mean by how long can she be Brian’s girlfriend? She would be Brian’s last girlfriend!
She would not give Brian up to anyone else for the world!
Later that night, Grace received a Messenger message from the organizer to go over to the film set from last time on her day off this week.
‘The director said there were a few shots of you last time, and you did a good job. The last scene involving the extras was not filmed at all. However, it will be filmed the day after tomorrow.
It will be the same crew of extras from last time so that it’s not confusing. Sidney, the organizer, also left her a message explaining everything.
Grace hesitated before replying, ‘Alright, got it.’
After all, she had already filmed it the last time. It would not be right for her to ditch this time. Besides, she was introduced by Claire Watts. If she refused to go, it may cause some unnecessary trouble for Claire Watts.
“Who is it from?” A voice sounded behind her. Grace turned her head abruptly and realized that Jason had walked into the room.
Only, he did not enter through the door that connected the two rooms but through the very door of the room.
“I just promised to be an extra again this week,” Grace said.
“Are you going to be an extra again?” He said, frowning, “Haven’t you had enough of the last lesson?”
