SWNOVELS Chapter 590
Chapter 590 You Did Not Learn Well
Skylar and Ingrid shared a dressing room. However, the latter had more backing resources and was more popular.
“Oh dear, your hair is so silky smooth! Any type of hairstyle will look good on you.”
"Your features are very stunning. They accentuate your regal dignity.” “Your skin is flawless. I don’t think you even need to apply any foundation or make-up.”
Skylar felt so uneasy listening to a series of false flatteries. How could the stylist praise Ingrid so blindly?
Skylar was confident of her sense of taste and sense of aesthetic. No one will ever regard Ingrid as a beauty unless that person is visually impaired.
Ingrid, on the other hand, was over the moon to hear others singing praises to her. She even queried the stylist, “Take a good look at my features. Do I need to go under the knife? I'm quite satisfied actually.” The makeup artist replied, “Please don’t consider plastic surgery. You have that natural beauty that everyone covets. You look amazing just the way you are.”
Ingrid took a glance at Skylar, who was obviously being left out in the corner. Her makeup artist was applying concealer to cover her dark circles.
“One’s beauty and aura are God-given. Nowadays, you might be scared out of your wits when you see some actresses in the entertainment industry without any makeup on,” Ingrid mocked while staring at Skylar. Ingrid is so full of herself. Doesn't she know better? I guess not. Otherwise, she won't simper smugly when others praise her to the skies. Skylar felt that Ingrid was ridiculously arrogant.
Ingrid and Maxim were childhood sweethearts in the movie.
Lindsay Rachford traveled back in time to 1978 and met Maxim, the male lead who shared the same name onscreen and in real life.
In Lindsay's previous life, Maxim pursued her persistently during their younger days. Lindsay rejected him due to his poor background and married her colleague, Adrian Lakeman.
However, Maxim had always been the love of Lindsay's life. Faced with a terrible marriage, she would often miss Maxim.
Skylar despised the female character whom she thought was very pretentious and selfish. Lindsay dumped her poor boyfriend for money and wants him back when her marriage was in a mess. What gives? She deserves it.
Anyhow, the movie had a happy ending and multiple comedy effects which catered to the needs of the festivity.
During break, Ingrid approached Skylar to go through the script and rehearse a scene they both shared
Holding the script, Skylar was very committed to her work. She said her lines professionally whereas Ingrid's speech was very vague, as if she was speaking while eating sweets.
Skylar tried her best to decipher what she was saying.
“Can you be more serious?” Ingrid blew a fuse and chucked the script aside. She almost hit Skylar in the face.
Frowning, Skylar retorted, “I'm doing my very best here. You're the one who's having trouble with your lines. Why don’t you go ahead and recite the ABCs? After all, they'll dub it for you during post-production editing.”
Ingrid refuted, “I learnt acting in Anglandur. Don't you dare doubt my skills.”
Skylar shot her a contemptuous gaze. “It seems to me that you didn't learn anything from the Anglandurns.”
Furious, Ingrid threatened, “Don’t be so proud. I can ask my brother to remove you from the set at any time. He's the producer.”
Skylar was delighted. “Hurry up and do that please, I don't feel like acting in this show anyways. Who likes to bite the bullet and not want their own movie to be a hit?"
Baffled, Ingrid did not understand what Skylar meant. To her, it was a great movie. She was very certain that it would be a box office success if she was the female lead.
As soon as Ingrid walked away, Hannah and Skylar gossiped about her, “Does this princess not have a mirror at home? Where does she get her confidence from?”
Skylar shrugged her shoulders. “Born with a silver spoon, she’s been living lavishly her entire life. Everyone butters her up and tells her what she wants to hear. Therefore, she’s got no idea what she is worth, thinking she’s the fairest of them all.”
Hannah smirked. “I think I look better than her. Kate has gotten Amelia the deal with Prada, to be their ambassador. Conversely, she's been indifferent to us. This is so unfair!”
