Chapter 135
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 135 Madeline put the breakfast she bought on a plate.
Jasper smiled and asked, âMs. Larson, 1 heard youâre still a university student. Will filming affect your study?â
âYou donât have to call me Ms. Larson. Just call me Madeline, Iâve already finished my term paper. I can take the credits in advance. So, it wonât be an issue,â said Madeline.
Bully, many top students would graduate early after completing all the credits. It was common in universities.
âOkay, I let you know when itâs time to join the crew,â Jasper said. âIâll arrange an assistant for you since youâre the second female lead. Itâs not practical to handle everything on your own. Youâll need help with many thingsâ
Madeline did not expect Jasper to be so kindâhearted. âNo, thank you!â
Madeline was also experienced in the entertainment industry. Even if she needed an assistant, she preferred not to be involved with Yohannes company too much âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll take the breakfast out, Madeline said.
Jasper looked at Madelineâs back and couldnât help shaking his head. He believed it now. âHow could she set a trap for Yohannes? Sheâs so cold and distant, completely different from others in the industry, he thought.
Is it possible that Yohannes went and begged her for resources? Jasper wondered. However, when he looked at the strikingly handsome Yohannes, he thought it was unlikely to happen.
He scratched his chin and thought. The atmosphere between them is really subtle. There must be a story behind it.â Jasper could not help but laugh at his thought.
After having breakfast, they went to the shooting set. It started out as a fine day, but when they wanted to get out of the car, it started to drizzle. The rain did not last long, but it was heavy and quick.
The rain made a loud noise against the window, and the carâs windshield was getting blurry âWhy is it raining so heavily all of a sudden?â Jasper was puzzled.
âItâs okay. Itâll be over in half an hour, Madeline said calmly. âI brought an umbrellaâ
Jasper could not help but laugh. âWell, it probably wonât be r e neededâ
âOh, itâs not an outdoor shoot. Itâs indoors. The car can be parked in the underground garage Madeline nodded and understood.
Yohannes suddenly looked at her and said. âYouâve never been an assistant before. How do you know about the weather!â
âEven so, Iâm not an idiot,â Madeline retorted.
Yohannes looked at her. Her bright, clear eyes reflected the dim light from outside, just like before He resisted the urge to touch the mole at the corner of her eye. âFind a place to sit down and the staff will call you when itâs done,â he said.
âOkay, got it,â Madeline muttered. She thought Yohannes called her here today to mess with her.
She had worn comfortable sneakers in case she needed to run errands. She did not expect to just need to sit and wait. This job is quite easy, she thought The staff had been waiting for them. As soon as they appeared outside the shooting site, Stella Reed, a staff member, came to greet them. âMr. Yandell, itâs raining outside. Do you need a towel!â
Jasper raised his hand and said. âNo need. We took the elevator directly from the underground garage:
âDo you need some ginger lea, Mr. Yandell? Itâs a little cold,â Stella continued to smile considerately and glanced at the strange beautiful girl beside Yohannes. She remembered the assistant was different last time.
Jasper was about to refu to refuse. After all, Yohannes would not eat casually outside. Then, he remembered Madeline was with them.
He pointed at Madeline and said, âGive her a cup. Itâs cold, and sheâs dressed lightly. We donât want her to catch a coldâ
Yohannes said, âStay here and donât run around. If I canât find you.â He pointed close to her nose but pulled back before touching it and continued, âYou be in trouble.
After saying that, he went straight to the makeup room. He did not dare to touch her, afraid of ruining the moment.
Chapter 135 Madeline could not help but shrink back, thinking. He is too domineering. Does he really expect me not to walk around when thereâs nothing to do? Anyway, he canât control inr Just as she was thinking this, Yohannes turned to Jasper and said, âIf she runs away, you y, you will be responsible for i Jasper was speechless. He thought, I came here to watch the drama, not to keep an eye on his gir Stella smiled and asked. âIs she a newly signed artist with the company? Sheâs so pretty.â
âNo, sheâs Yohannes temporary assistant. His regular one. Sophia Blake, is on leave for a few days,â said Jasper.
Stella glanced at Madeline and thought, Temporary assistant? Thatâs a temporary worker. Although the staff were respectful to the people around Johannes, there was no need for them to treat temporary workers with such kindness.
Stella smiled as she made the handover and did not prepare the ginger rea deliberately. A temporary worker did not deserve their resources.
The entertainment industry was like that. When you were capable, everyone around you seemed kind and supportive. But when you were not. it was no surprise if people treated you like you were invisible.
After the shoot had been going on for a while, Jasper took a call and went out to talk about business.
Stella came over with the clothes to be changed later. She frowned and looked at Madeline sitting on the stool idly.
âYou really donât know how to do your job. Your boss is busy, and youâre here wasting time?â Stella said. âHurry up and take the clothes to get wrinkles ironed out!â
Madeline was hit on the head by the clothes being tossed at her, and she instinctively hugged them the After Madeline sent the clothes for ironing. Stella came over to scold her again, Mr. Yandell is putting on makeup and has no time to drink water. Didnât you think to bring him a bonde?â Then, she added, âYou donât seem suited for this job. Are you just a rich kid trying out work!â
Stellaâs tone was harsh and mean. While she was respectful to the artists, she was often ordered around by her superiors and felt resentful.
In the shooting set, the temporary worker was at the bottom of the hierarchy. So, Stella deliberately took advantage of the work to vent his temper. Madelineâs eyebrows kept twitching. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Where can I get the water?â
âGo buy it. Thereâs one on the first floor, said Stella Madeline was speechless. She went out ut to buy a cup of coffee and returned. Having woken up early in the morning, she started to feel sleepy. When she returned to the entrance of the venue, the security guard refused to let her in âI just came out from inside. Iâm Yohannes assistant, and 1 went out to buy coffee for him,â said Madeline.
âSorry. You canât enter without a work pass. This is a work area, so please understand, the security guard said.
Madeline pursed her lips and waited until Stella walked by. She quickly waved and said. That person knows me. Iâm Yohannesâ
assistant Siella glanced over when she heard the commotion and said, âYou can enter by swiping your work pass. Itâs no use looking for me. I canât violate the rulesâ
Madeline clenched her fists. She knew that Stella was making things diffult for her.
She took out her phone and was about to call Yohannes. However, thinking that he was busy shooting and the call might not go through, she took out Jasperâs business card and dialed the number.
âWhat are you doing here! A clear male voice sounded Stella and Madeline looked over at the same time, only to see Yohannes coming out. He was accompanied by several staff members, each of whom looked unhappy.
Stella, not noticing the looks others were giving her, quickly argued, âMr. Yandell, your assistant doesnât have a work pass, I was about to get one her. She felt a bit nervous Fernando, the person in charge of the commercial shoots here, coughed twice and glared at Stella Bercely, motioning her to stop talking, Yohannes took out his phone and checked. There were no missed calls.
He looked up at Madeline with displeasure. âWhy didnât you call me if you were bullied!â
Madeline held her phone and said, âI was about to call your manager...
Chapter 135 Yohannes straightened his sleeves and said indifferently, âWell, todayâs shooting is over. Letâs go back.â
âIs the shooting over?â Madeline asked.
Yohannes couldnât help sneering, âThe contract is terminated.â
In short, Madeline was being bullied, so he decided to quit.
