Chapter 221
Chapter 221 First TCalling Bianca "Mommy*
Assaulted by the cold wind, Marie felt that her face was becoming stiff and her limbs were becoming icicles.
She turned around and saw the RV parked in the distance.
After that morning, she was familiar with the RV driver. She brought the coat with her, went to the RV, and asked the driver to open the door. She could not stand the cold anymore.
The driver recognized Marie. He thought that she was Leia's new assistant or something. He opened the door to the trailer.
Marie sat inside, rubbing her fingers, trying to warm herself up.
Meanwhile, at the shoot, Leia was not concentrating.
The director was nationally renowned, and his movies were widely acclaimed. He was a regular at award ceremonies. Countless actresses wanted to star in his movies but there were not many that could impress him.
The director put Leia Norman in the starring role out of desperation. One of his biggest funders had withdrawn their financial support, and production of the movie was stalled.
Just when he was running out of options, someone approached him with an investment, though one of their conditions was that Leia Norman had to star in the movie.
Caught between the allure of the investment and being forced to change the female lead, the director agonized over the decision for two months.
Finally, to realize his dream of bringing his script to the screen, he bowed to money.
Leia's debut was in a domestic movie that received generally favorable reviews. The director knew that Leia had an elevated social status and had a politician as a father. However, he was not worried about that. Instead, he thought that if he could obtain the investment and at the stpolish Leia's acting skills, that would be a win-win situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were no hitches in her previous two shoots, but somehow she could not get it right today after many takes.
"Cut!" The director roared angrily once more!
Leia was not in a good mood either. The male lead was a handsmiddle-aged man in his forties. He kept a low profile in the entertainment industry, though all the movies he acted in were critically acclaimed, and he had gone up the awards stage many times. None of the female leads in his previous movies was like Leia, an empty beautiful shell without any substance.
The male lead wiped his face annoyedly and went aside to take a break.
Leia saw that the male lead's agent cast a disdainful gaze at her.
"You should rest for a while, Leia." Her assistant walked up to her and handed her a glass of lemon- infused water.
Leia took a sip of the warm water, but she was still cold. Her bad mood was intensified when she did not see Marie, who was tasked with holding her coat.
"Where's my coat?' Leia asked her assistant.
Her assistant hastily asked the other people to look for Marie.
"It's fine. I’ll check on her."
Leia was looking for an outlet to vent her anger.
When the driver opened the door to the RV trailer, Leia saw Marie slumped inside the comfortable high- class room. She had already fallen asleep!
She was even using the coat as a pillow!
"Well..."
The two female assistants did not expect the new hire Marie to be so daring...
Leia shook her head. "She’s new, and she probably doesn't know anything. I ought to be more patient with her."
The two female assistants understood that Leia had always been kind toward her assistants. Another female star would have thrown a tantrum on the spot.
Leia went inside. The assistants closed the door so that Leia could rest.
The trailer was tall and spacious. The driver's cabin was separated from the trailer, and so the driver would not be able to hear what was going inside the trailer.
Only Leia and Marie were in the cavernous trailer.
Marie was fast asleep with no signs of waking up. With a long face, Leia walked over, raised her leg, and brought her foot down on Marie's hand on the couch...
"Ah!"
Marie was awoken by the pain. She immediately pulled her hand back.
She rubbed her hand that was in pain. About ten seconds later, she cto her senses and realized that it was Leia Norman who had stepped on her hand!
She lifted her head and saw that Leia had meant to do that!
"Don't you know that it's the fall now? Once I've finished a scene, you need to immediately drape my coat on me. Are you an idiot?" Leia was yelling hysterically.
She was venting all her grievances on Marie.
Marie gasped for air and held back the urge of slapping Leia. "I'm sorry. I was too cold outside, and that's why I cin. I didn't expect myself to fall asleep..." She apologized.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Too cold?" Leia glanced at Marie's clothes and grinned sarcastically. "Yet you bare your legs in the fall! Tell me, are you trying to flirt with someone? Look at yourself in the mirror! Do you think you can achieve anything with your attitude?" 1
Marie's facial expression changed several times.
She would still be subject to Leia's verbal abuse if not for Shakira's car arriving on time.
Marie knew to remove herself from the scene when Leia helped Shakira into the trailer. She hid behind a large tree and lit a cigarette. She was cursing Leia to hell in her heart!
In the trailer.
After Shakira explained her reason for coming, she asked, "Aunt Neile, why are you suddenly asking about my mother?" 'I know that you're the apple of your mother's eye, and you're trying your best to look for treatments for your father's infertility so that your parents can have a child of their own. I want
to tell you that... there's a possibility that I've found the child that your mom lost!" "There's a possibility?" Leia thought that she had misheard.
'I can't guarantee anything yet. I'm still trying to warm up to the individual, and I didn't want to tell your mother in case the outcdisappoints her. That's why I'm asking you for help. Could you find out how your mother lost her child back then?" Shakira said.
Leia was stunned for a moment, though she resumed her smile soon. “ That's great! Dad and Mom will be very happy if they could be reunited with their birth daughter..." "I shouldn't disturb you for too long," Shakira said and prepared to leave.
Leia helped Shakira out of the car. "Goodbye, Aunt Neile. I'll let you know if I find out anything."
However, Leia's mood had plunged into the dark abyss. After Shakira left, her expression became equally dark!
'Reuniting with her birth daughter? What a joke!'
Meanwhile, Luke drove his car while Bianca and the two children sat in the back seat.
"I have something to tell you, Miss Bea..." Rainie leaned onto Bianca and kneaded on Bianca's shirt button with her meaty hands. She pursed her lips and did not lift her head.
Bianca looked down and pressed her forehead onto Rainie. "You can tellwhatever you want. You don't have to be shy..."
"Mommy," Rainie called out timidly.
