The tiny spark of anticipation that had formed in Qiao Anhaoâs heart vanished in an instance with Lu Jinnianâs words.
She had believed Zhao Meng for a moment. But how could she have forgotten that Lu Jinnian had been the best screen actor for so many consecutive years. He was always a one-take actor, and when he had jumped in to save her, it wasnât because of worry but to follow through her act.
Since she was soaked in cold water, Qiao Anhao was pale as a sheet of paper, without any trace of color. She tried to keep the calm on her face but Zhao Meng who stood behind her couldnât help feeling upset for her.
"Mr Lu, Qiao Qiao didnât want to drop into the water, but her heels were tampered with, causing her to lose balance and fall into the pool. She only decided to add the scenes to escape having to retake the whole scene..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lu Jinnianâs expression froze slightly as his gaze fell on Qiao Anhaoâs feet, realizing that she was not wearing any shoes. He frowned deeply, an eeriness flashing past his eyes. Before Zhao Meng could finish her sentence, his face dimmed and he left the set in his wet clothes.
Zhao Meng looked at Lu Jinnianâs back and couldnât help pouting.
"So rude!"
Qiao Anhao remained quiet, using a towel to wipe off the droplets on her face. She stood up and went to the changing room to change before leaving the set with Zhao Meng.
On her way into the hotel, Qiao Anhao bumped into a crew member, a young girl. She smiled sweetly at her, shouting "Sister Qiao". Qiao Anhao returned a slight smile and nodded.
By the time she reached her hotel room, she recalled that she had seen the girl before but since there were so many crew members, she couldnât pinpoint who she was. Only at night, when she was eating dinner and caught sight of the same girl sitting beside Lin Shiyiâs assistant, did she whisper to Zhao Meng, "Who is that young girl sitting beside Lin Shiyiâs assistant? She seems familiar, have we seen her somewhere?"
Zhao Meng chewed, her chopsticks in the air, as she stared at the young girl. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Qiao Qiao, I remember! This afternoon, when we were about to go to the changing room, she ran out of it. Do you remember? I think its her, just with a change of clothes."
Qiao Anhao was already sure but she couldnât confirm. Now that Zhao Meng had confirmed her suspicion, she nodded, saying, "Yes, itâs her."
"She is Lin Shiyiâs new assistant. This afternoon, after she entered your changing room, your heels broke..." Zhaomeng stopped in mid-sentence, staring straight at Qiao Anhao before smiling coldly. "I never would have expected that she would do this on the very first day!"
