It looked like a hug of reconciliation, but she whispered in Valda Thellerâs earâ¦
âSee, you have to act in the film when I demand it. At the end of the day, youâre just a nobody, Valda Theller. Who do you think you are?â
With that said, Queenie Mack stepped back two or three steps, smiled at Valda Theller, and said, âIâll look forward to your performance!â
The strike ended with Valda Theller agreeing to be the stand-in.
Camille Strickland grabbed her best friend and said worriedly, âAre you really going to be the stand-
in?â
âYeah.â Valda Theller nodded.
âBut that sceneâ¦â
âItâs just acting, and itâs not real. Besides, the film crew will take protective measures for me,â said Valda Theller.
âYou apologized and agreed to be the stand-in. Were you⦠afraid of implicating me?â Camille Strickland began to realize why her best friend was willing to apologize.
âIâm scared Iâll have to compensate a lot of money to the film crew if this becomes a big deal. It has nothing to do with you!â Valda Theller said with feigned nonchalance.
Camille Stricklandâs eyes reddened slightly. âValda, Iâm sorry. I thought it would be good for you to have a chance to have your comic adapted into a TV show. I never thoughtâ¦â
âYou donât have to apologize to me, and you havenât wronged me.â Valda Theller hugged her best friend. âCamille, youâve been very helpful to me. I have nothing but gratitude for you.â
âBut you wouldnât have to suffer this if I hadnât fought for this adaptation opportunity.â
Valda Theller said, âItâs many comic artistsâ dream to have their comic be adapted into a TV show. Iâm no exception. Think about it. Iâve been through so many things that this is nothing. Iâll just avoid Queenie Mack after this.â
Camille Strickland admired her best friendâs toughness. âBe careful during the shoot.â
âOkay,â replied Valda Theller.
Then, Valda Theller followed the makeup artist to the dressing room to put on the same costume as Queenie Mack and get the same hairstyle done.
She was only a double, so there was no need for makeup since the camera would not be filming her face.
Due to the scene that they were filming later, the makeup artist made her wear safety pants, lest she accidentally suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
Valda Theller and several extras acting as debt-collecting thugs rehearsed before the shoot started to determine the flow. Queenie Mack was not far away watching maliciously.
âValda Theller is naive to think Iâll let her off so easily.
âSince Valda Theller dared to humiliate me, she should be prepared to suffer. Itâs ridiculous that the fool is rehearsing with those extras. She has no idea that Iâve bribed them.
âThough this is just a shoot, theyâll hold nothing back when filming starts!
âBesides that, I ordered the extras to take off Valda Thellerâs clothes. The person I arranged will then film it and post it online.
âValda Thellerâs reputation will be ruined by then!â
Queenie Mack was all the smugger as she thought about it.
Just then, a figure hurried toward Valda Theller.
