With Dean present today, Elena naturally did not dare to be impudent. Due to Dean's reputation in the industry and his solid family background, no matter how dissatisfied Elena was with Audrey, she had no choice but to respect him. At ten o'clock in the morning, the first few scenes of the female lead and second female lead came to an end. Audrey felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. By the time she had her next scene, it was already three days later.
As the female lead, Elena had a lot of scenes. Thinking of the male lead who had not arrived for a long time, Elena could not help but look annoyed. "Director, didn't you say that you've found a new male lead? Why isn't he here yet?"
Dean lowered his head to look at his watch. The assistant beside him quickly went forward and whispered a few words into Dean's ear. A look of surprise quickly flashed across Dean's face. "Really?"
The assistant nodded at him.
Dean understood and said to Elena, "Frank encountered a car rear-end on the way. He might be a little late."
The car rear-ended? Everyone present was a little surprised.
Audrey was equally shocked, but she quickly calmed down.
Frank was the male protagonist of the original novel. With the halo around him, nothing would happen.
However... Seeing Elena's impatient expression, Audrey was looking forward to the moment when she and Frank first met.
In the original book, the first time they met was very... romantic.
Audrey liked to watch the scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress.
However, now that Frank had yet to arrive, Audrey had no desire to continue waiting. After greeting Dean, she wanted to leave.
She wanted to see how this scene of saving a damsel in distress would continue after she left.
After all, in the original book, Audrey was the key to getting to know the male and female leads. Now that she was going home to sleep, who would find fault with Elena next?
Audrey finished packing her things and was about to leave after greeting Anna. Unexpectedly, Elena's sarcastic voice came from behind her. "Some people are just idle. They don't have much ability, yet they still come to the entertainment industry to fool around. It's no wonder. I wonder what dirty methods they used to escape unscathed at the dinner. Could it be... that they relied on their bodies to get to where they are? Hahaha..."
The other actress beside Elena also laughed.
Audrey's expression instantly changed.
Kind and magnanimous? Understanding? Audrey couldn't tell that Elena had such character.
As expected, the plot of the original book was already on a remote track.
Audrey turned around coldly.
As Frank had not arrived yet, the scene between the male and female leads could not continue. Dean could only call the other supporting actors to start the other scenes not far away, so no one noticed Elena's actions.
"Elena, I don't think I've ever provoked you. Why are you provoking me now?"
Audrey looked coldly at the beautiful and dazzling woman in front of her. She really couldn't understand why she could say such harsh words just now. Elena looked disdainful. "Provoke? Are you worthy?"
Audrey found her unreasonable. "Otherwise? You've questioned my acting skills time and time again. What are you trying to do?"
"Acting skills?" Elena seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter. A good-looking but useless vase actually has the cheek to mention acting skills to me? Don't you think you're ridiculous? Some people just don't know their place."
Elena looked down on Audrey. Seeing her confidently play her role, Elena felt an unknown anger quickly rise in her heart.
"Miss Audrey," Elena continued, "I really admire your perseverance. Your taste is so poor. At the very least, you have a beautiful face. Can't you choose roles that are good to you? When this drama is broadcasted, have you ever thought that you will attract criticism?"
Audrey raised her eyebrows. "Is this the advice you gave me?"
Elena met her gaze without hiding anything. "This is not a piece of advice. It's a reminder. A kind reminder." Audrey chuckled.
Elena did not understand.
Audrey thought about it in her mind and recalled the original owner's insufferably arrogant attitude in the past. Then, she thought of the character Martha's personality. For the first time, Audrey didn't want to treat others with courtesy. "Miss Elena, according to what you're saying, if you're good-looking, you're a vase.. Then... aren't you a vase that's even more useless than me?"
