Chapter 771 Get Back At Her
Donald rubbed his stomach and said, “I'm a little hungry indeed. Come on, then. Show me what thefood is like on this set.”
Since Belle had personally signed Evelyn on as an artist, it went without saying that Werner BrothersStudios had to cover the meals for Evelyn and her team. However, the food prepared for the film crewusually consisted of packed meals, and a minor influencer like Evelyn would only get an extra chickendrumstick at most.
Meanwhile, the film's lead actors and directors would eat together at a restaurant outside. Not only didthey get to eat well, but they also had the opportunity to chat and mingle. It was also considered a wayof privately currying favor with others.
Nikita had urged Evelyn many a time to join them and eat together. However, the latter was reluctant tospend several hundred on a meal and felt she had nothing in common with them.
As a result, Evelyn made herself stick out like a sore thumb from the first day of filming, causing thedirectors and lead actors to think of her as a rookie who did not understand social conventions.
After listening to Nikita's explanation, Donald said calmly, “I still have some heavy lifting to do thisevening, so I need to have a good lunch. Let's go to that restaurant for a meal. My treat.”
“Mr. Campbell, that doesn't sound like a good idea. The director and the others—”
“What's the matter? You're an artist under my company. Are you saying you're still at the mercy of the
director's whims even when it comes to having your meals?” novelbin
Upon hearing that, she knew not to protest further.
The trio went to the restaurant and had just walked up to the entrance when they heard Xaiden cursing.“D*mn it! That Evelyn really thinks of herself as some pure and innocent woman. She told me just nowthat she would not film any revealing or intimate scenes. I've no idea what was going through Belle'smind. Why would she sign someone like her to our crew? Isn't this just making things difficult for us?”
Malcolm Kline, who was playing the male lead, also looked displeased. Having debuted as an idolmore than two years ago, he was confident about his good looks. However, it was the first timesomeone had refused to film a kissing scene with him. Is this a joke? Nowadays, reporters in theentertainment industry are willing to write about anything to get a trending article. If they find out that aminor influencer refused to do a kissing scene with me and write about it, how am I supposed tomaintain my image as an idol?
As that thought crossed his mind, he turned to Xaiden and said, “She's just an unimportant influencer.Since she has signed a contract, how can she refuse to film such scenes simply because she doesn'twant to? When did you become so soft-hearted?”
Xaiden gave a wry laugh. “Oh, you don't know half of it. It's stated in Evelyn's contract that we have torespect her wishes. Otherwise, do you think I'd bother to reason with her? Nonetheless, you don't haveto worry. I've arranged to move up filming of the scene of her getting hit. If she doesn't cooperate...Hah!”
Hearing that, the others at the table exchanged knowing grins.
At that moment, Donald pushed open the door and walked in with Nikita and Evelyn.
Their sudden appearance caused Xaiden to panic a little, but he quickly regained his composure. Sowhat if they overheard what we were talking about? As long as we vehemently deny that we'replanning to make things difficult for Evelyn during filming later, she'll have no choice but to cooperateobediently.
Xaiden and his companions were determined to get back at Evelyn.
After taking a seat, Donald proceeded to order several hearty dishes. “Please bring us a few of yoursignature dishes.”
Seeing that, Xaiden snickered and remarked, “Ms. Shabelle, my advice is not to eat too much. After all,you'll be filming an action scene in the afternoon, and it won't do if you throw up on set.”
