Chapter 380

Another few days had passed and Old Fourth Cecil called her multiple times at a stretch, pressing her for the money.

Lucy was almost driven up the wall of insanity. There were times she wanted to give up and let him expose her!

Despite her love for acting and desire to become an actress, she rather gave it all up. She did not care if she lost everything she owned!

However, Lucy was distraught at the thought of her mother in the hospital. Any thoughts of mutual destruction were instantly suppressed.

She could not let anything happen to her!

What about Mother if she collapsed?

Just then, Lucy received a call from Susan.

Susan was blunt and was not the type to beat around the bush in speech and action.

Once the call was connected, she went straight to the point. “Do you really need money?”

Lucy paused before nodding. “Yes.”

“Okay, there’s a showcase at Century City tomorrow night. A few artists under my friend will be going but they’re from other companies, not Xinghui.

“I’ve informed them and they’d be taking you under their wing. The money isn’t much but you'll make around a hundred thousand. However, you’d need to have dinner with them after the event. Is that okay with you?”

Lucy quickly answered, “No problem.”

“Okay, I’ll let you know more tomorrow.”

“Sure, thank you, Sister Susan.”

Lucy finally heaved a sigh of relief after hanging up.

Her mind was at rest at the thought that she could earn some money after tomorrow.

The next day, Lucy applied for a day off with the filming crew and went to the site.

Upon her arrival, she realized it was a car show event. All attending models were either unknown independent models or D-listed actresses.

These people were artists in sugar coated terms but at the risk of sounding cold, they were simply escorts drifting in the sidelines of the entertainment industry.

These models were mostly beautiful and possessed a hot body, albeit lacking a chance. Although a car show like this was not as innocent as it seemed, they still scrambled and flocked for this fighting chance.

Susan was not a well-known manager. She only applied to join Xinghui after a few talents under her had something to show for.

Among the several artists under her management, only Lucy was a presentable B-listed actress while the rest were newbies.

Lucy did not know the relationship between these models and Susan but she had guessed that they were acquainted.

Susan said it herself. It was an event her friend partook in. These models may not be of repute but participating in the car show granted them an opportunity.

After all, countless gorgeous girls were flocking into the entertainment business. With the increasing numbers, the ability to seize an opportunity was good enough.

Lucy was not that willing to partake in such an activity but she was left without a choice to meet this urgent need.

After a change of wardrobe backstage, she went out together with everyone.

The job scope was simple. Only, due to Lucy’s height at 1.63cm, she might not be the shortest among regular girls but it was unsightly between the models.

Hence, the wardrobe stylist handed her a pair of 12cm heels after makeup. The heel was sharp and thin.

Her feet were aching to the point of numbness from wearing the heels all afternoon.

Nevertheless, she felt the pain was worth it with her mind focused on the hundred thousand bucks, seeing her through the ordeal through gritted teeth.

It had never occurred to her that after standing all afternoon, a staff member walked in from outside and uttered with a clap, “Don’t leave yet, everyone. President Clement and President Hilton organized a dinner party later. Let’s go have a meal together.”

Lucy was dumbfounded.

Susan had told her beforehand that a dinner party may entail after work.

However, she noticed that there were over a dozen models present. It might mean that not everyone had to go. Hence, she was just thinking about refusing when suddenly, a girl beside her spoke before her.

“Brother Wilson, my tummy isn’t feeling good. Can I not go?”

Brother Wilson, who was the managerial staff coldly scoffed. “Then can I not pay your appearance fee today?”

The girl in question turned red in the face. Biting her lip, she did not have the courage to reply.

Standing within reach, Lucy dared not bring up about leaving.

Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief after Brother Wilson was gone.

They grumbled among themselves in low voices but only for a quick second.

Lucy glanced around the room before cautiously asking someone nearby, “Why do they need us all to go to the dinner party? Where are we going?”

The girl she asked had participated in such an event before so it was a walk in the park for her.

She took a glance at Lucy. “It’s your first time, huh?”

Lucy nodded.

“Play it smart tonight. In fact, in this line of work, just keep your eyes open and count on your quick wits, and you’ll be fine. Everyone’s out to have fun, they won’t deliberately put anyone in a difficult spot.”

Lucy’s mind went blank and frowned at her words.

The girl smiled. “I find something odd. It’s not strange for us to join this event to make a living but what is an established actress like you going over there for? I don’t think you’re short of that hundred thousand bucks?”

Lucy froze and let out a forced smile.

“I came over for a look because I’ve never done it before. Consider it a life experience.”

The girl sneered.

“Okay, have the experience of your life!”

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 With that, she had a change of clothes and moved toward the loo.

Standing there, Lucy felt awkward. However, for reasons that could only be known to herself and not to others, she followed the group out.

The dinner was held downtown in a high-end luxurious hotel.

Lucy joined everyone down the car and into the hotel.

She had already changed back to her clothes. It was a set of white casual wear that made her appear pretty and smart but rather unrefined.

As a matter of fact, she put on this outfit on purpose.

After all, it would be risky if she did not dress up low key in this sort of environment.

Brother Wilson, the person leading them over, threw her a glance and frowned in disgust.

Nonetheless, he kept it to himself and brought everyone to the top floor, the eighth floor.

They took a lift directly to the eighth floor and crossed the lavish lobby until they finally stopped in front of a VIP room.

Lively music and hubbub from the inside could be heard through the door.

With a server opening the door for them, an air of profligate hit them right in the face.

Lucy could not help but cover her nose while Brother Wilson was the first to enter. He grinned. “I’m sorry that we’re late. There was traffic on the road.”
