Chapter 25 It's Him Again!
Since she had nothing else to do in the mansion, she answered gratefully, "Thank you, Joy! When shall I go?"
"You'd better reach the Sun Mountain before 11:00 AM. Patty Gill is the most well-known agent in the entertainment industry. She attached great importance to punctuality. So don't be late! That's it. Bye, see you later!"
"Okay, see you later!"
After hanging up the phone, she hurried to hail a taxi to go to the Sun Mountain.
When she reached there, it was 10:30 AM. As soon as she got off taxi, she saw Joy waiting beside the road.
They hugged to greet each other and then Joy took her to the shooting site. While walking, she said to Verena, "When you see Patty, just be sweet while talking to her. And be agile while working!" Verena nodded and kept listening attentively.
"There are two crews shooting films here. So the time is limited. But the chief actress is good at nothing! She doesn't even know to walk according to the set piece! They didn't even finish the shooting during the whole morning! So Patty is pissed now! No matter how harsh her words would be, you should control yourself! Do you read me?"
Joy kept repeating, "You should know that Patty has been a harsh talker. So you can tell when you stay with her for a period of time." Though Verena had expected that, she still felt nervous, "Will she be mean?"
Before Joy could answer, a sharp voice sounded, "Shit! I told you to get me a glass of water! What the hell did you do? Are you being a cripple? I need you here to serve me well! If you can't, just fuck off!" Then they saw a young fashion-looking girl dressing in jeans and black overcoat while wearing a pair of high heels shouting and poking another girl's forehead hard to scold her. That girl had started to cry out. When seeing that, Verena couldn't help swallowing. She grabbed Joy's sleeve and asked with low voice, "Joy, that should be Patty, right?"
Joy smiled and shrugged, "Bingo!"
While speaking, Patty's voice was getting even sharper, "What the hell are you crying for? Do you feel being wronged? Here is not a kindergarten but a shooting crew! If you want to cry, get back to your cradle! Where is my assistant? Where is the new assistant?"
Before Verena could react, she was led to the front of Patty by Joy, "Patty, here she is!"
Then Patty fixed her eyes on Verena and looked at her from head to toe, "Can you do that?"
"Just rest assure! I will do my best to work hard!" Verena hurried to bow to Patty.
"Okay, from now on, just work with Clare Watervine. Oh, by the way, where is Cole?" Patty asked the staff beside her.
"Cold got mad so he had left! He told us to cancel the press conference this afternoon!"
"Shit! Why don't you make him stay? Where is Clare?"
"She needs to shoot a cover for Ella Magazine. So she is preparing for it now."
"Take her to Clare. From now on, she is the assistant of Clare!"
When seeing the staff leave, Verena finally breathed a sigh of relief. What a fractious lady!
Clare was sitting on the sofa in the lounge. She was holding a glass of wine with her right hand, while on the finger of which there was a big diamond ring. She was wearing a red tight-fitting dress coupled with a white fur coat covering her shoulder. She looked arrogant, "You are my assistant?"
"Yes!" Verena hurried to answer.
She squinted at Verena while looking at her fair hand painted with red enamel, "Have you seen all my film and television works? Or which one have you seen before?"
Verena was rendered stunned when hearing that.
To be honest, it was her first time to hear the name of Clare Watervine. She had no idea what films works Clare had engaged in. Suddenly, Clare looked sullen and waver her hand, "You don't even know about my work! How could you be assistant! Get out!"
'Are you out of your mind! You don't even know about me? How dare you come to serve as my assistant!' Clare kept complaining to herself.
"Well, though I have never seen your works before! You are the most gorgeous female star with no makeup I have ever seen!" Verena pretended to admire her and continued, "Your skin look so smooth and fair just like a glowing pearl! Could you please tell me how you do skin care? I am so jealous of you! I will definitely watch every single work of you when I go back home! You are so appealing! Of course you works would be the most enjoyable ones!"
As expected, Clare looked softened, "Huh, what a fawning talker! But it won't work on me! You have a week for probation! If you fail to satisfy me, just get out!"
'Well, but it seems that it works well!' Verena thought to herself.
After a while, every staff was ready in the shooting site.
Clare had already got herself changed into aqua long dress to highlight her perfect body. However, she couldn't help shivering when the cold wind breezed. When seeing that, Verena, who was waiting while holding her fur coat, couldn't help sighing, 'Even the work for star is tough!'
As the cover of Ella Magazine needed to be filmed under water and Clare was required to be ethereal-and-elegant-looking just like a mermaid, besides, Ella Magazine was the most well-known one with highest standard, so the shooting of its cover would take quite a lot of efforts. Even the photographer this time was hired with a huge amount of pay from abroad, which was also one of those from the most famous.
However, the crew had been waiting for half an hour. They still didn't see the photographer here. Clare was rendered so mad, "What's wrong with him? He is the most famous photographer? Come on, I am the most popular star! I don't want to wait anymore! I quit!"
At this moment, someone shouted, "He is here! The photographer arrives!"
Then all members of the crew shifted their eyes. So did Verena. However, she was suddenly rendered stunned.
It was Eden! He was wearing a white sweater, khaki pants and black jacket with his neck wrapped by a light blue scarf. He got off from a black Rolls-Royce, looking refined and elegant.
He walked to the middle of the venue and bowed to all members of the crew gently to apologize, "Sorry, I am late!"
But everyone present seemed to be flattered when seeing that. They all shook their heads to show that it didn't matter.
Eden then strode to Clare's front and said gently, "Sorry for keep you waiting, Miss Watervine!"
Patty was rendered blushed. She looked so different from the way she got mad just now. She hurried to reply, "It's okay!" "So are you ready?" Eden smiled.
"Of course!" her face was still blushed.
"Alright. Please get into the water. Thank you, Miss Watervine."
"Not a problem! Thank you, sir!" Clare smiled charmingly.
Verena, who stood aside, finally collected herself. She didn't expect that she actually met him here! The man from whom she got his car to run away from Louis that night! What a coincidence! Eden was actually the photographer!
When seeing the clear but deep lake, Clare couldn't help shivering. But she still closed her eyes and gritted to jump into it!☐☐☐
