NovelBarHelena had had a tough time with Astrid before. Seeing Astrid's familiar smile now, she felt more and more uneasy.
“Sorry I'm late,” Lacy, who was participating in the show's promo event with Helena, rushed over. He immediately stretched out his hand when he saw Astrid, “Astrid, I'm a huge fan! I've been following you since last year’s magic convention. When | found out I'd be on the same show as you today. | brought a pen and paper for your autograph.” *Astrid, can | take a picture with you after the recording? Can you give me your autograph?” “Of course, I'd be honored, Astrid smiled, “I'm a fan of your acting too, I've seen your series, it's fantastic!” Astrid wasn't just paying lip service Lacy really was a great actor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLots of netizens had said that the show Helena was starring in might have been more popular if it had a different female lead.
Not because of looks, but because her acting was just not up to par, she lacked immersion. There was no chemistry between
her and the male lead.
Hearing the two of them chit—chatting, Helena couldn't help but sneer, looking very displeased.
After the opening dance, the host's voice came from the stage, “Hello everyone, I'm Kali~" Israel. “Hello everyone, I'm Israel~" “We're thrilled to see you all again this Saturday. Now let's welcome our four good friends who'll be spending the weekend with us. They are Clyde, Astrid, Lacy, and Helenal” Cheers erupted from the crowd.
The other three walked out, but Helena stood still.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLacy was a bit helpless, whispering, “What are you doing? Is this the time to throw a tantrum?” “What's Astrid’s ranking? Why was her name announced before mine!” Helena pointed at Astrid’s back, fuming, “A little actress with no works to her name, and she gets to go before me?” Lacy had had enough of Helena’s capriciousness while filming, so he just ignored her and quickly joined Astrid and the others.
The director, noticing the wrong number of people, immediately
called a halt, “What's going on? We're missing one.” After a while, a staff member trotted over to the director, looking troubled, “Director, Helena’s agent says Astrid is lower ranked, her name can't come before Helena’s.. And they're demanding that Helena's name must be first, or she won't come out.” Hearing this, the director stomped in anger, “So she thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she’s good with some producers? Astrid may not be as established in the entertainment industry, but she’s a global magic champion! Leaders from many countries scramble to invite her to perform. How can Helena compare to her?” “And even without considering Astrid, Clyde has more popularity than Helena, and Lacy is a better actor!” “Go tell her, I'm giving her one more chance. If she wants to record, fine. If not, she can go find somewhere comfortable to wait!” After the director finished, the staff member quickly left.
Helena thought she could intimidate the director. But she never expected that he wouldn't cater to her this time.
In the end, without any other options, she had to follow them
onto the stage with a disgruntled look.
