Chapter 86 After confirming over and over again that Agnes would be the leading lady in âthe Magical Romance of Cinderellaâ, Beatriceâs face turned sour as hell When the kickâoff ceremony ended, the crew led everyone on a tour of the shooting site.
When Agnes was alone in the lounge, Beatrice seized the opportunity to walk over and said, âAgnes, did you sleep with the director or get into some shady business with some bigâshot investor? I canât believe you could stoop so low. Youâre despicable.â
Agnes retorted, âBeatrice, can you not be such a venomous snake? Youâre still young, donât always have the word âdespicableâ
on the tip of your tongueâ
âAgnes, youâre not one to give me a lecture. How else could you have landed the lead role if not for some underhanded tactics?â
Agnes replied. âSame as you, I got it through auditionsâ
âYou think Iâd buy that? Youâre not even from an acting background. Besides your body, what else could you possibly offer?â
Agnes responded coldly. âIf you think Iâve had an illicit affair with the director, go ahead and blow the whistle, as long as you have proof.â
Beatrice snorted. âYou think Iâm stupid? If I expose the director, where does that leave my acting career? But Agnes, I really admire you, even Director Zoeâs old age doesnât faze you Dad would blow a fuse if he knew.â
âDirector Zoe, youâre here.â Agnes stood up straight, looking behind Beatrice.
Beatrice stiffened, her face turned ashen. She turned her head toward the door, but there was no one there Beatrice was furious. She turned back to see a smirk on Agnesâ face, âAgnes, you tricked me.â
âWhat, you were hoping he was really here?â
Beatrice was quivering with rage Agnes said calmly. âDonât talk behind peopleâs backs. If you have the guts, say it to their faces. Thatâs my advice to you as your elder sister.â
With that, Agnes left the lounge.
Beatrice was fuming. Every time she argued with Agnes, she never seemed to come out on top. Agnes seemed gentle, but she was cunning deep down.
Just a few days ago at home, she didnât say anything when Beatrice announced she got the fourth female lead, even though Beatrice was the lead.
Was Agnes mocking her then? Was she just playing her for a fool?
Thinking of this, Beatrice was gnashing her teeth.
Agnes, donât get cocky. How long you can stay as the lead is still up in the air. We will see...
After leaving Beatrice, Agnes ran into Ava Tomorrow was the official start of shooting today everyone was excitedly touring the site.
Upon seeing Agnes, Ava walked over. âAgnes, weâre bunking together. I was about to put away my luggage, wanna join?â
Agnes replied, âSure, why not.â
Agnes moved all her stuff from Kerriâs dorm into their new one.
By the time they finished, it was already 5 PM.
Though the dorm was in the schoolâs dormitory area, it obviously had a late renovation, and the environment was refreshing and elegant The dorm had bunk beds, Ava volunteered for the top bunk, leaving Agnes with the bottom bunk.
After tidying up, the two sat on the bed and started to chat.
Ava said, âI canât believe the Starlight International Group star is Justin. You know how fast my heart was beating when I saw him today? Heâs so handsome. I canât even look him in the eye, Iâm afraid I might faint.â
Agnes, munching on her chips, said, âArenât you exaggerating a bit? He canât be that goodâlookingâ
Ava retorted, âHave you seen anyone more handsome than Justin?â
Without hesitation, Agnes replied, âOf course.â
The first face that popped into Agnesâ mind was Jaredâs.
