Chapter 31 Flirting With Claire
The first scene in the morning involved the portions of Sierra alone.It was a one-woman show.
Meanwhile, Claire read the script and texted her friend, Haylee.
'How's it going? Did you see that bitch?'
'Of course'
'I'm eagerly looking forward to that scene.Remind me when they shoot the portion of you slapping Sierra.I can’t wait to watch that.I'll tell the director to repeat the scene so that you can have a good time slapping her till your heart's content'
'All right.You can come to watch it.But you don't have to tell the director that.I don't want to hurt my hand by slapping her'
After a while, they changed the topic.
Haylee asked about Claire's first day of shooting.
'They're not shooting my portions today.I'm here to meet the cast and crew and learn the premise of the story.By the way, it's pretty interesting, you know'
'Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?' Haylee wanted Claire to become an actress.
Just as Claire wondered how to respond, a shadow fell over her head.She looked up and saw the hero of the film.He was a popular, young actor who had recently joined the industry.
Claire couldn't recall his name.
However, his surname was Newman.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe looked handsome, but Claire didn't find him charming.
'Miss Williams' He smiled and stretched out his hand.
'Nice to meet you.I'm Cecil Newman' Claire shook hands with him and immediately withdrew her hand. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
'Nice to meet you' Cecil continued to smile even though Claire was cold to him.
'The moment I saw you today, I felt you should have been cast as the heroine of this film' Claire rolled her eyes.
She felt the man was superficial and dumb.
'If you have nothing else to say, I'll go back to reciting the lines' Seeing his flattery didn't work, Cecil understood Claire didn't like it.
He felt stupid for making a huge blunder.
But he didn't give up.
After all, Claire had hooked up with another man right after divorcing Darren.
She didn't seem like a virtuous woman.
'We are going to be co-actors.
Why don't we have lunch and get along with each other? Would you like to join me, Miss Williams?' 'Sorry, I'm not interested' With that, Claire stood up and left.
The smile on Cecil's face froze.
He wanted to say something more, but his assistant ran over to him.
'Cecil, you have to perform in the next scene' Cecil had no choice but to give up.
Claire didn’t take him seriously.
She regarded Cecil as just another guy flirting with her and ignored him.
'Cut!' the director suddenly shouted because Sierra suddenly forgot her lines.
Hearing that, she flinched back and looked away from Claire and Cecil.
She didn't expect even Cecil would go after Claire.
Sierra gritted her teeth as anger surged through her veins.
She had been busy looking at the two that she forgot her lines.
'Sierra, do you want to read the script one more time?' Enzo grunted behind the monitor.
'Im sorry' Sierra smiled apologetically.
'I don't want to read the script.
I'll give it another shot' She quickly dragged her attention back to the scene.
She hated Claire for distracting her.
During the lunch break, Claire quickly had lunch, which the chef had specially prepared for her, and returned to the lounge to rest.
However, just then, sounds of laughter caught her attention.
It was Sierra.
Claire looked up and saw the nameplate ‘Director's Lounge’ stuck on the door.
The door was half open, so one could take a peek at what was happening inside.
Sierra was sitting beside the director, Enzo, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
'You are awesome! My perspective of the role drastically changed after your explanation.
I'm sure I'll nail the scene this time' Enzo put his hand on Sierra's milky thigh and gently rubbed it.
'That's good.
Young actresses need to learn and ask more questions.
Every successful actress gains experience by playing different roles' Claire's lips curled up with disdain when she saw them.
She wasn't surprised.
Everyone knew the entertainment industry was a complicated place.
Although Sierra seemed like a pure girl, in reality, she was someone who would compromise her dignity for personal gain.
Only Darren and her fans would believe her deceit.
However, Claire knew her too well.
She rolled her eyes and left.
© The shoot resumed that afternoon.
Enzo, who had been strict and uncompromising, seemed more amiable toward Sierra.
He didn't lose his temper even though Sierra didn't perform well.
Claire was annoyed.
© Soon, it was Cecil's turn to act.
Although he was a better actor than Sierra, Claire was still worried.
She sent a message to Haylee.
'Are you sure this movie will win an Oscar? The script is good, but the actors...
Gosh, I'm worried.
I hope you don't face losses after investing in this film' Claire had lost hope the film would do well.
Therefore, she stopped watching the shoot and sauntered around the shooting spot.
Claire soon got familiar with the cast and crew.
She quickly washed her hands in the bathroom and was about to go home.
As soon as she turned off the tap and wiped her hands, the door of the only closed toilet in the bathroom flew open, and Sierra walked out in her costume.
@ The two looked at each other in the mirror.
Claire crushed the tissue, tossed it into the trash can, and walked out.
'You came here for me, didn't you? Why are you running away after seeing me?' Sierra smirked at her.
