âAshlyn talked to Lucas personally for you? Why is she being so nice to you while she assigned Tinsor and me to the Haddock Group internship program?â complained Blair in an envious tone.
âAshlyn assigned a job to you? Sheâs treating you just fine too! I mean, I found my job on my own.â
Naomi was just as envious as Blair was.
âMs. Nolan, weâre the acting coaches Ms. Berry hired to teach you.â
Suddenly, a man and a woman walked up to Naomi and introduced themselves respectfully.
Naomi was dumbfounded as she stared at the two coaches.
After hearing what happened on Naomiâs side over the phone, Blair got so upset that he just hung up.
No, I canât let Naomi continue to have Ashlyn all to herself. I have to find a way to get Ashlynâs attention and let her know how talented I am.
Iâm much better than Naomi, that hippie, anyway.
Surprised, Naomi stuffed her hands into her pockets before asking, âArenât you guys the coaches from UCLA? Mr. Miller and Ms. Carter?â
These two were on that acting variety show and they have pretty great reputations!
I canât believe Ashlyn got them to coach me in acting!
Naomi was so touched that she could almost cry.
Iâm so lucky to have a sister-in-law like Ashlyn!
âYes, we will coach you throughout the entire filming process, and youâll definitely see significant improvements.â
The two coaches were as good as Naomi had expected, providing her with clear guidance whenever she was off camera.
Besides her, the coaches also instructed Jonathan and some of the other actors.
They were willing to give advice and provide guidance to whoever came asking.
Because of that, the burden on Gregâs shoulders reduced significantly.
At this moment, Naomi picked up a cup for a sip of water. Not long after, her throat was burning and her entire body just felt off, so she frowned in puzzlement. Whatâs going on?
She then checked the cup. Is it the water? Or have I been working too long? My throat doesnât feel right.
But before she had time to figure it out, she went back to filming again.
Unbeknownst to Naomi, a woman was hiding in a dark corner not far away from her. She watched Naomi secretly and stomped her feet in anger as Naomi drank the water.
Helena slapped his assistant angrily. âDidnât you tell me that was Ashlynâs cup? So why did Naomi drink from it?â
A mysterious person had given her a colorless and tasteless drug. It was said that after consuming it, it would not take long before serious consequences, like a car accident, happened.
Damn it! I had the drug and clear instructions but I still couldnât get the right person to take it!
Furious, Helena gave her assistant another hard slap.
Just my luck! I thought that if I could do something about the investor, the filming next door would have to stop.
Whatâs the use of getting Naomi drugged instead?
Sheâs just a rookie!
Afraid to say another word, Helenaâs assistant held her cheek in pain and kept her head down.
Although she had been Helenaâs assistant for a long time, she would have left if it werenât for the fact that Helena could offer the money that she needed.
Hence, she had no choice but to endure the hardship because of her sick mother in the hospital.
Helena was not the sweet and kind person that she appeared to be. On the contrary, she had a bad temper and was vicious in nature.
âIâm sorry, Helena. I know itâs my fault.â
Helena looked daggers at her assistant for wasting the only pill she had.
Overwhelmed with anger, she reached out and pinched her assistantâs arm with all her might.
âYou trash! You canât even get the right information!â
Helenaâs assistant was in so much pain that she turned pale. âPlease forgive me, Helena! Iâll do better next time!â
âIdiot!â Helena continued to pinch her a few more times before her hand became tired. âGo! What are you still standing here for? Waiting to get caught?â
