Chapter 1036
During shoots, if a male actor touched her inappropriately, if she stayed silent, they would become more bold, if she protested, people would accuse her of being pretentious and kick her out of the crew, without any compensation for a day’s hard work.
Whether it was the lead actor or a small–time staff with some power, everyone looked down on her, just because she wasn’t famous, she had no money, no background.
She was jealous of Celeste, jealous of how smooth her life was at the same age.
Even after a divorce and entering the entertainment industry, she met good people, landed a role opposite Zach in her first film, and caught the attention of a big company like Skyline Media Group
Whereas she had to sell herself to get any opportunities.
Now, the new TV drama Phoenix Fire emerged like a dark horse, putting her in a tight spot.
She had signed a contract with the production team of Peaceful Land. If the average rating of the show could win this year’s championship, their next show called “Starlight Serenade” would sign a contract with her.
That’s why she gave up Tea Tycoon and chose the controversial Peaceful Land.
The director of “Starlight Serenade” preferred Cindy, and it was only after she agreed to film Peaceful Land that she got the opportunity.
Now, the ratings of Peaceful Land were declining, while Phoenix Fire was soaring.
Thinking of this, Sydney finally made up her mind, she said in a serious tone, “Get someone to help me.”
Celeste finished touching up her makeup quickly
She looked at herself in the mirror, adjusted a strand of hair by her ear, and met Leonard’s eyes when she looked up.
He quickly looked away.
Celeste felt confused, were all top actors this quirky?
They had been filming for almost two months now. Although she and Leonard played a couple, they didn’t have many scenes together. Every time they finished shooting. Celeste wanted to greet him, but he was always too busy playing on his phone with a cold expression
It seemed like he didn’t want to interact with others, so Celeste swallowed her words.
Thinking that Leonard’s scenes would be wrapped up soon, and that he had protected her from the water before, she hadn’t properly thanked him yet, so she plucked up the courage to approach him.
“Leonard, are you free tomorrow after we finish shooting?”
Leonard seemed surprised that she was initiating a conversation. He cleared his throat and said, “No plans, why?”
Celeste said softly, “I owe you a meal, I plan to pay it back.”
Leonard caught on, and immediately said, “Actually, we can go tonight.”
He did not want to wait until tomorrow night
Celeste was taken aback, “Don’t you have work to do?”
“Not at all, who said that I have Leonard stopped mid–sentence, realizing it was his unreliable agent who had said that, so he quickly corrected himself, 1 did, but it got cancelled last minute”
“Oh, then let’s do tonight. I’ll shoot you the address once I’m done filming. We’ll meet there.”
With that, Celeste took off
Leonard was all pumped up. Even when his agent teased him, he didn’t get mad. He just said, ‘Get some clothes sent over. I need to freshen up.”
His agent gave him a “no problem‘ look, and immediately dialed Liam to fill him in on the plan.
