âStop stammering. Are you shooting a movie? Naomi, youâre no longer a kid. You used to stir up a lot of trouble, and thatâs alright. But how could you accept a female lead role in a movie? Who would trust you? Did you make a deal with the director? The showbiz is too complicated for an innocent girl like you,â Blair rambled on.
His words shocked Naomi. Blair knows about it? When did he find out?
But even if I explain how I got this role, he wonât believe it!
She sighed exasperatedly, unsure of how to clarify the matter to him.
In the end, she replied, âBlair, Iâll explain to you when I get home, okay? I need to get back to work now.â
âY-Youâre driving me crazy! Fine, letâs see how youâll explain to Lucas later!â Blair bellowed before hanging up.
Naomi held her phone and walked out from the restroom stall with her head down.
The moment she stepped out, she bumped into a woman who shrieked, âOw!â
Helena was looking at her phone while walking and bumped into her.
Looking up, she recognized Naomi who was the female lead of the set next to hers.
Instantly, a disdainful look crept up Helenaâs face. âOh, look who we have here. Itâs the ugly duckling who wants to become a swan! What a joke.â
If I hadnât rejected Greg, she wouldnât have gotten the female lead role!
It was all thanks to me!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
The news of her being cast as the female lead of Angel and Devil didnât cause a sensation on Twitter.
On the contrary, it was Gregâs Trashy Idol who ended up hogging the trending topics. One of the topics was about the rookie actress who got cast as the female lead, which totally pissed her off.
All celebrities wanted to be talked about so that they could gain popularity.
Helena might be an aspiring actress, but she wasnât that famous in showbiz yet. Although she had acted in a few TV series, they didnât propel her to stardom as she had expected.
Since this was her first female lead role in a movie, she took it pretty seriously as it might help her rise to fame.
However, she didnât expect to lose to a rookie actress! How was the rookie able to cause a sensation?
Why couldnât I? I am better than her in terms of looks and popularity!
âDid you just swallow a bomb?â Naomi glanced at Helena. She was about to apologize for bumping into her, but before she could do so, Helena was already mocking her.
And it upset Naomi greatly.
Helenaâs eyes widened. âWhat did you just say?â
âYouâre nothing but trash. What else can I say?â Naomi rolled her eyes. âIâm sorry for bumping into you.
But shouldnât you apologize for your words?â
âYou want me to apologize? In your dreams!â Helenaâs face contorted in anger.
She looked like she was about to shove Naomi into the toilet.
Everyone in her set addressed her respectfully, so she couldnât accept the fact that a rookie had just talked back to her.
There was no way she was going to let it go.
âIn my dreams? Ha!â Naomi rolled her eyes once again and ignored the rude woman. As she swiveled around to leave, the furious Helena reached out to stop her.
However, what she managed to grab in her burst of rage was instead the flimsy strap of Naomiâs dress!
Instantly, the strap broke and Naomiâs blue striped dress slid down her body, exposing her delicate and fair skin.
Shocked, Naomi hurriedly pulled her dress up.
Helena was surprised by what she did too. As she glanced down at her hands, she stammered, âI-I didnât do it on purpose. Wellâ¦â
Then she stomped her foot in fury. âBlame yourself for provoking me!â
With that, she ran off.
