Chapter 24

The lunch was abundant.

Madeline looked at her meal, noticing she even

n had a glass of grape juice.

She sat alone at the dining table and air slowly.

At that time, her phone rang again.

Madeline frowned and took a closer look at the screen, seeing that the call was from someone named Hannah.

She was someone that Madeline knew from the

e film crew.

The woman was in charge of managing the background actors.

Madeline thought Layla came to harass her again

“Hello!” she responded to the call

“Maddie, are you all right! Are you feeling okay?” the voice on the other side of the line said.

Madeline drooped her eyes. “I’m feeling okay now. Anything else!”

Hannah Lynch felt very sorry. “Well, it was the crew’s carelessness that they accidentally smashed your head like that. The assistant director said. they lacked an actor for a minor supporting role, so they needed to select someone again.”“

She continued, “I feel quite sorry for you, so I came to ask if you want to come over for the shooting. We can give you this opportunity. We’ll finish the shooting in about an hour, and the payment will be 100 dollars.”

Madeline heskated for a moment.

The film crew was at a film studio on the outskirts of the city, which was not far away,

“When is the shooting? Madeline asked.

“The scene will be shot tonight. The role is a beloved concubine of the King but will die in three minutes.”

Madeline agreed, as the pay of 100 dollars was tempting to her.

She only had around 120 dollars with her now, so she had no reason not to make more money.

She replied. “Okay, I be there tonight.”

When Matilda came over to get some water, she accidentally heard Madeline’s conversation on the phone call. “Maddie, why are you this hardworking? Even going as far as to do part–time jobs after work?”

She reminded Madeline, “Your ankle is injured. Mr. Wagner had specially told you to rest.”

“Well, I haven’t had enough money for my tuition fees Madeline did not deliberately cover her reason up. “It’s quite easy to do acting, and my ankle is not painful anymore.”

She added, “Besides, I don’t have much to do anyway?”

Matilda shook her head and thought it was really not easy for children from poor families to take on responsibilities early,

Hearing Madeline’s reply, Matilda did not comment much.

However, when Steven asked about Madeline in the afternoon, Matilda explained casually to him.

Steven drooped his e eyes. “Give her an advance payment for this month’s salary”

Matilda was a linle surprised. This..”

In fact, it was not in line with the rules for a newcomer to obtain their salary in advance after just a day’s work.

If other employees knew about it, it would not be good for them to follow suit.

“How about. We give her the day after tomorrow!” Matilda suggested.

Sirven did not concern much about it. “Do as you wish

Chapter 21

Looking at Steven’s tall and cold figure, Matilda was somewhat confused.

She thought. “Why is he taking such good care of Madeline?”

Steven’s behavior was like an unsolved mystery in the world.

After work, Madeline hurriedly packed up as she had to reach the filming set for the makeup

the whole day was to translate an article. It had been recorded on the computer afterward.

Her job for the

When Steven returned to the office, he saw the room was empty. Madeline had left after work faster than a rabbit.

Alexander was waiting outside the company’s building. “Hey, you’re alone?”

He added upon realization, Steven, the little rabbit has been by your side, but you let her run away?”

“Stop talking nonsense. Steven got in the GL

Alexander got in the passenger seat. “I’m being serious. What’s special about her? You are a scion of the Wagner family and never lack pretty girls. Whenever you like, you can get a different pretty girl every single day.”

Alexander clicked his tongue. “Don’t tell me you have fallen in love at first sight? That’s not your style at all.”

Steven gave him a chilly look. “Why are you so talkative! Say one more word, and I will make you unable to speak for the rest of your life.”

Alexander stopped talking and shut his mouth obediently.

Steven’s eyes darkened.

He just thought that Madeline was good–looking, and that was it.

For Steven, his heart felt like stagnant water that had remained silent for 800 years.

Madeline was a little special compared to other girls

It was just that she looked so fragile that people could not help but look at her for a few more glances.

When Madeline reached the film studio, it was already past six o’clock in the evening.

Madeline’s phone began to

She ignored all of them.

When Hannah came to take her into the studio, Madeline put her phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode.

Hannah said, “Maddie, you look pretty, so I specially recommended you to the crew for the role.”

The film crew was the first crew thar Madeline had worked with for her part–time job.

She remembered vaguely that someone had thrown something and knocked her out, but she could not remember the details of the accident.

After that, it was also left unresolved, and she also stopped paying attention to this matter.

Hannah was an enthusiastic and carefree person, but she had always been concerned about Madeline’s injury.

She said, “Mr. Zeller, this is Madeline. Can you have a look and see if she’s suitable for the role?

One of the film directors, Derrick Zeller, glanced at Madeline. “She’s good. Go put on the makeup”

“By the way, there are two lines from the script that you need to memorize. Louis, tell her later Derrick could not help but glance at Madeline again. The girl looked beautiful, but the entertainment industry never lacked good–looking prople.

Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to Madeline.

In the entertainment industry, resources and luck were what mattered

There were people who could change themselves from rags to riches, but it was not something common.

Hannah smiled and said. “Maddie, hurry up and prepare. Show your acting skills so everyone. It’s not easy to get two lines in the shooting”

Madeline knew it well.

She had gone thanugh to mill when she was a background actor

She went to the prop team and got her clothes. After a whole day of applying makeup for the actors, the makeup artist already felt numb with her job.

She hurriedly put on the makeup for Madeline

She thought that Madeline’s face was pre

pretty.

“The beloved concubine is a little… Yeah, pure and innocent–looking. Il give you grandiose makeup.”

After the makeup artist finished the makeup for Madeline, she looked at Madeline’s serene and beautiful face with the charming look of a young girl.

Her face had a slight blush on it, which made Madeline look extremely beautiful.

The makeup artist was slightly surprised. “Are you a guest actor?”

Guest actors were actors who were invited specially to play supporting roles by art personnel on the production team.

As the price to invite them would be high, the actors‘ quality would naturally be high too.

Madeline smiled lightly. “No. I’m not. I’m just a background actor.”

artist was confused, thinking unbelievably that the quality of a background actor could become this high these days.

The makeup artist was

“Please go ahead with the shooting. After that, come back here for the makeup removal,” the makeup artist said.

Madeline walked toward the filming set in an ancient costume.

Louis explained the lines to Madeline.

He said. “You only have two lines. The first line will be you humiliating the female lead. “Who do you think you are! Do you think you deserve to compete with me. The second line will be you kneeling down and begging for mercy, Your Majesty, please don’t do that. I’m sorry.”

Louis then asked, “Can you remember the lines?”

Madeline nodded in response

Even if there were only two lines, she would still perform them well.

Although the plot was a little bit exaggerated, the drama was very popular

It had made big probis with a small investment,

Madeline’s acting skills were splendid, which were honed through practice.

When she appeared on the set, she stood in front of the camera she was very familiar with and skillfully maintained her position after replaceing the best angle that would make her look stunning.

She would stand aside like a background figure in the early stage, delivering only the two lines later on.

However, she performed her acting very well. Her role as a beloved concubine was domineering and charming, showing a look of a disheveled weeping beauty, which all looked very beautiful

With just tw

The director behind the c

“Don’t talk nonsense. It won’t be good if you pursue that matter.

Madeline looked up and saw one of the supporting actresses assistants eating peanuts.

When she looked over, they walked away awkwardly.

Madeline’s expression turned solemn. She wondered how she had gotten into the ICU after being hit last time,
