Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Really Generous
Time went by too quickly. After a few days of relaxing, it was time to go back to work. Stuart knew what Edie would say if he asked her if he could take her back to work. So, he arranged for the driver to take her.
As soon as she arrived, she noticed that everyone’s attitude towards her was somewhat different.
Everyone involved with the film was not allowed to talk about what happened. The movie with such a substantial investment was suddenly stopped for half a month; everyone was curious and could not help but ask why and rumors were spread all over the place.
The fact that Zoe Anna was fired was breaking news, too. There were a lot of people in the crew, and some gossip was spread. Some people knew that Zoe was replaced because she had offended Edie.
They later found out that the film stopped production because Edie was hurt. Everyone remembered how Zoe treated Edie and not to mention many other people as well, so it wasn’t hard for them to accept that Zoe was now gone.
As for Edie, they now respected her. Zoe was a ten-year actress in the industry, and she was changed halfway through the shooting, what wealthy supporter did Edie have? People are snobbish, especially in the entertainment industry.
If someone had a small supporter, others might still talk about you behind your back, but as long as your supporter was powerful enough, then everyone would want to get closer to you. Therefore, it was hard to say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. All the staff and the crew’s attitude towards Edie became nicer.
Edie was walking in with Rhoda and many of the staff members immediately greeted her and said hello. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Edie, good morning, I haven’t seen it for half a month and you look more beautiful."
"Edie, I went back and looked at your previous work. Although it is only a supporting role, you were also terrific."
"Edie, I am new to this industry. If there is anything, you can tell me that could help me?"
It was Edie this and Edie that. She couldn’t help but be a bit flattered. Fortunately, she had seen a lot. She stayed for a long time with Stuart. She learned a lot from him. He showed her how to act calm when there was a significant change.
"Hello everyone, thank you, I will still need your advice in the future," Edie politely responded, and the smile was just right. The staff said, "Thank you." Even the director took the initiative to come over and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better? If you encounter any problems during the shooting, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Edie smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you very much, Mr. director." When the staff saw the director personally come over and said hello, they couldn’t help it, but they were secretly surprised. They were sure of the previous speculation that Edie had a wealthy supporter.
Many people have begun to reflect on themselves if they had offended Edie or not. Not long after Edie came, Queenie also arrived. Edie heard that she had not accepted any work during the past two weeks and went abroad to take a vacation.
Now it seemed that Queenie was in an excellent mood, and her spirits were very good, which made her look more beautiful. Queenie, the director and other people from the crew, greeted each other and walked quickly over to Edie. They looked Edie up and down and asked, "Are you okay? It really scared me, I mean what happened to you that day."
Queenie had made a few condolence calls to Edie, but she couldn’t tell on the phone. They didn’t explain the situation that day. When they met today, they had the opportunity to talk about it.
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you for your concern. I am much better now."
Queenie seemed to want to ask her something, but there were too many people around. After everyone left and a bit of hesitation, she slowly said, "You and Stuart..." As soon as she heard the name Stuart, Edie was shocked and could not help but guess what Queenie wanted to ask.
Queenie didn’t get a chance to finish as they were interrupted by a sudden noise. The front door was opened, and several people dressed in waiter costumes were coming in. All of their hands were full of coffee.
The lead waiter smiled and said to everyone, "The coffee ordered by the Miss was delivered." There were more than a hundred cups of coffee. The air was filled with the aroma of coffee. Edie and Queenie looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other’s eyes.
Which Miss? Who are they talking about? Before the staff could make any reaction, several women in baking aprons held boxes and followed them inside. "The cookies were also ordered by Miss."
It wasn’t over yet. Finally, several people pushed a small refrigerator in, smiled, and said, "Ice cream ordered by Miss is here." The drama room, which has been initially quite spacious, was piled up with all kinds of sweets and drinks. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The entire crew immediately started a heated discussion about who the mysterious Miss was.
"Jazz coffee, this cup cost fifty dollars, and she bought a hundred cups. She is so rich."
"Wow, this cookie is a brand from the private baker. I heard that the baker only makes fifty cookies a day. How can she order so much?"
"Bought Haagen-Dazs for the whole crew to eat. How rich is she?"
In the midst of discussions, some people had a lot of questions.
"Who is this, Miss?"
Edie lifted her eyebrows and thought about it. She felt that something was in her mind. If she remembered correctly, Danny told her that the name of the new cast member was playing the part of Lola.
"Hello everyone, I am Sophie."
A friendly voice shouted at the door, not only attracted the attention of Edie but even the people who were eating together. They were all very curious. They saw a beautiful woman standing at the door with a gorgeous body.
She had long hair to her waist and a small face. Her shining eyes were absolutely beautiful, just looking at her, the people could feel themselves getting hooked, especially when she smiled. She was the type of woman who could steal people’s souls.
Three assistants followed her, and her hands were filled with her things. A staff member suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, Sophie, isn’t that the new actress who plays Lola?" Sophie heard the words, smiled lightly, and said, "Yes, I am the new Lola. I will be working with you guys for a few months. I hope everyone can take care of me."
The director also said, "Why did you arrive here so late? Come here and let me introduce you to everyone. This is our new Lola, and her name is Sophie, and we will all be working together on the film."
The staff ate and felt embarrassed. The director spoke, and they quickly applauded.
"Director, you are so nice. Sophie, you are so kind, and of course, we will take care of her."
"Yeah, Sophie is really generous. It is so nice of you that you bought us so many things to eat on the first day."
"Wow, Sophie is really suitable for the role of Lola, and you will definitely be famous and popular."
