Chapter 1477
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âI got played out,â said the actress, Erin Lane. Her eyes were red.
Erin grabbed Fannyâs arms, and squeezed hard. When she felt the warmth of Fannyâs body, she finally believed that Fanny wasnât dead.
âEver since youâ¦â Erin paused. Instead of saying that Fanny had died, Erin amended her words, and said âEver since something bad happened to you, chaos ensued in the company. Mr. Channing did step forward to help manage things, but his oversight was limited only to famous actors and actresses.
Things were tougher for unknown actors and actresses like me.â Erin had just signed a contract with the company, and Fanny didnât have the chance to sign her up in a movie or drama. Fanny initially wanted Erin to be featured in the show she was prioritizing, but didnât expect to suffer from a miscarriage during the filming. Right now, she couldnât even save herself from her plight, not to mention others.
One thing she didnât expect was for Oliver to manage her company.
She thought he would leave her company to fend for itself.
Despite that, she found no need to thank him.
Who knew what ill-intentions lay behind his actions. Given everything that had happened, Fanny had no expectations of Oliver whatsoever.
She didnât allow herself to have any.
After todayâ¦
She would let Oliver have a taste of what it felt like to have his parents die.
She no longer hoped for things to return to the past.
Fanny grabbed Erinâs hand. âGet to the point. Tell me first, why are you here?
Who did this to you?ââ âLina Jennings,â Erin said indignantly. âSheâs the sister of the owner of a pharmaceutical company in Richburgh thatâs growing very quickly. She said she wanted to invest in our show and came to our office. But when she arrived, she got furious the moment she saw me. She said that I resembled a slut she knew.â
Erin sniffled, feeling even more upset the more she thought about it.
âShe slapped me right there and then, and the company sent me here to wash the toilets.â
Fanny was enraged, feeling protective of her own recruit.â How much did she invest that itâs fine to treat you like this?!â
Whatâs moreâ¦
âWho made you wash the toilets?! Did no one else in the company come to your defense?â
âIt was Mr. Channing,â Erin replied, still indignant. âI suppose an insignificant actress like me isnât worthy of his attention.â She had only herself to blame for not being famous enough.
Fanny became even more furious upon hearing Erinâs words. âYouâre my recruit.
How dare he treat you that way?â
She made Erin take off the uniform.
âErin,â she said, âdonât tell anyone that Iâm not dead. Take the fact that you saw me today to your grave.
Give me three days at most to let you return to the crew. Butâ¦â
Fanny looked at Erin, and said solemnly, âAside from exchanging clothes with me, I need another favor from you.â
Erin nodded, and immediately exchanged her clothes with Fanny. âDonât worry.
After you leave the washroom, Iâll use the phone exactly as you instructed!â
Fanny nodded as well, smiling. Grateful from the bottom of her heart, she said, âThank you.â
She was trapped right now, and had to rely on Erin to help her.
She thanked Erin once more, and grabbed the cleaning equipment at the door of the washroom before heading out with her head hung low.
As actresses, both women had good figures, and Erinâs clothes fitted Fanny well.
No one else would find the uniform ill-fitting on Fanny. Conversely, they would think that the clothes were custom- made for her.
The bodyguard glanced at her, looking doubtful. But very soon, he turned his attention swiftly back to the washroom.
Meanwhile, Erin had followed Fannyâs instructions to post a call for help online.
She put on Fannyâs shades and her clothes and walked out.
Fannyâs shades covered almost half of her face. If one didnât look close enough, it would be impossible to tell that the owner of the clothes had been switched.
