SWNOVELS Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Kindhearted Vivian
During the first week of filming, several actors and actresses could attest to what Vivian said before.
Maria seemed to be quite lazy and very underqualified for her job.
They never saw her put enough effort and did much work.
In fact, she had never recorded the director's speech and instructions.
All she did was stroll around the shooting site or sleep for long hours.
Moreover, Maria was just supposed to be a script supervisor, but she even enjoyed the privilege of having her own exclusive
lounge in the set.
Seeing all of this, almost every member of the whole crew felt like they were about to go crazy.
Yeez Entertainment had always been famous for its quality control, perfect management, and fairness.
But somehow, for an unknown reason, they let an incompetent person hold an important role, and Maria wasn't even trying to
hide her lack of enthusiasm.
Everyone wanted to know what Maria did in order to convince the top management into giving her such a special treatment.
Every time they saw Maria loafing around, they were filled with envy and frustration.
Sometimes, it was all they could think about.
One time, Sally couldn't help herself from whispering in front of Vivian.
It was when she saw Maria having lunch with Francis, Lyndsey, and Jay.
Sally clearly saw Lyndsey put her favorite roasted eel into Maria's plate, while Francis shared his Australian lobster to her.
Jay was the only one who behaved normally.He didn't do anything to dote on Maria and just ate his own food.
However, the main point was that someone like Maria could have lunch with Jay at the same table.
It was enough to make many actresses in the crew to be filled with so much jealousy.
"Vivian, I still dislike your elder sister.But right now, my envy towards her is much stronger!"
An actress who played a supporting role couldn't contain her emotions.She almost drooled while her eyes were fixated on
Jerome's strapping figure.
Vivian was also having lunch at that time.
When she heard the comments of her fellow actresses, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Clenching her fist, she suddenly lost her appetite.
"Maria...Actually, she has always been good at making friends.But as far as I remember, she only chooses who she befriends.I
don't know why" Vivian said in an insinuating tone.
Although she didn't say it directly, the actresses present were smart enough to realize the meaning behind Vivian's words.
Sally scoffed coldly.
"I see.So, Maria is a typical snob.She has only been in the crew for a few days, but she has become good friends with the
director, Lyndsey, and Jerome.But what about us? She didn't even try to say a word to any of us! Does she think that we're
beneath her?"
Another actress also butted in to express her resentment, "Humph! She doesn't want to associate with us because she thinks
that we don't deserve her attention."
Because of Vivian's instigation, everyone became more and more hostile towards Maria.
However, Vivian still acted like a saint and said in a pitiful tone, "I'm sorry.Please don't hate my sister that much.I apologize for
her behavior."
Sally shook her head and quickly comforted Vivian, "You are such a kind sister.You keep on apologizing for someone who's not
even doing a thing to change her attitude.You really don't have to do this for her, Vivian! Maria doesn't deserve to be called your
elder sister!"
Everyone nodded eagerly, sympathizing with Vivian.
However, while they were busy criticizing Maria and ganging up on her behind her back, something unexpected happened.
Francis had a sudden allergy attack, and his condition looked pretty bad.
Fortunately, they called for medical help immediately and the ambulance was already on its way.
"How did this happen? Mr.Jackson is very allergic to eggplant! I repeatedly reminded the restaurant in advance not to serve any
food with eggplant! How could this still happen?"
The assistant director roared in panic, his face turning pale in fright.He immediately called the boss of the restaurant they
ordered food from to solicit an explanation.
The latter could just apologize repeatedly for the negligence of his employees.
But of course, it wouldn't be able to solve anything.
The doctor with the crew gave Francis an emergency treatment while waiting for the ambulance, which arrived about ten minutes
later.
At this time, all the actors and actresses were surprised to find that even the president of Yeez Entertainment, Jeremy, had also
rushed to the scene because of the unfortunate incident.
"How is Francis doing? What exactly happened?"
Jeremy pulled a long face as he talked to medical staff with the crew.
Only a week had passed since the filming of the show started.
However, the director suddenly fell ill just because of careless mishandling of the food.It was a such big-budget project.
A huge economic loss to Yeez Entertainment would be inevitable if the shooting was delayed even for a day.
But now that the chief director couldn't do his role, it was a big predicament.
How could the filming ensue if no one knew how to direct the entire process?
