Chapter 165 Being Targeted
Amelie took Lamont to one of her favorite French restaurants. The dishes in their house were very uncommon, but every dish was in line with Amelie’s taste.
This was supposed to be her secret base, and even Emilee didn’t share it with her.
Amelie didn’t know what was wrong with her, and she brought Lamont over as soon as her head got hot, and Lamont hadn’t said the reason for his sneer until now.
Amelie didn’t bother to ask or guess, anyway, the relationship between the two of them was nothing but hostility.
“The atmosphere of this French restaurant is good, I hope Mr. Byron will not dislike it.”
Lamont hated Amelie’s eccentric attitude, staring at her nonchalant face for a long time
without replying.
“Sir, buy your girlfriend a bouquet of flowers.”
A soft and waxy child’s voice came from next to his ears, and Lamont and Amelie looked at the little guy at the table at the same time.
“Son, I am not his girlfriend, can you sell it over there?”
Amelie pointed at the couple at the next table, Lamont kept a sullen face and said. nothing, but the little guy had no intention of leaving at all.
“Sir, buy a bouquet of flowers for the girl you like!”
The child looked about four or five years old, and nobody knew what the parents think, let such a young child come out to sell flowers.
“Little guy, where are your parents? Are you the only one?”
The little guy looked out of the window opposite Amelie’s table, only then did she realize that there were several little guys holding flower baskets outside the window,
but only his basket had a few bouquets of flowers in them.
“Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for her.”
The little guy tugged at the corner of Lamont’s clothes again, with persistent and sincere eyes, Amelie was afraid that Lamont would get angry, so she fumbled in her
pockets, but suddenly remembered that she had never had the habit of carrying cash.
“Great, thank you.”
When Amelie came back to her senses, the little guy had already stuffed all the flowers in his basket into his hands, and his eyes were a little more joyful than before.
“Thank you, after selling these flowers, we can go home.”
The little guy was very polite, he bowed to Lamont and Amelie, his movements were very standard, which touched Amelie’s heart, how could such a sensible child not be loved by anyone.
“Little guy, did your adults ask you to sell flowers?”
The little guy shook his head, “We are children from the Oakland Welfare Institute, and we took the initiative to sell flowers. We want to make money to support ourselves.”
The little guy was full of confidence when he said this, and Amelie suddenly felt an indescribable pain in her heart. A few years ago, Amelie followed his father to the
Oakland Orphanage.
The orphanage was located in the only deep mountain in the suburbs of Oakland. When they came here, they had to walk a long time on the mountain road, from the suburbs to the urban area bit by bit. How could such a young child do it.
Just as Amelie was about to speak, the little guy had already run away without a trace. Her face was filled with sadness and she sighed softly.
“Ms. Mullen thinks too much. There are too many things you can’t do in this world. What you should do is take care of yourself.”
The waiter had already served the dishes, and Lamont handed the cut steak to Amelie, what he said was inconsistent with the actions of the gentleman in his hand.
Amelie didn’t reply, for Lamont was right, she was just an ordinary person, and she could only take care of herself in some things.
She had to admit, she didn’t think as clearly as Lamont about too many things that she
couldn’t do anything about.
Perhaps this was also the reason why she was so persistent in marrying Lamont at the
beginning.
“However, I admire Mr. Byron’s habit of carrying cash even more.”
“You don’t understand this. It can always come in handy at critical moments. I have an advantage over you in helping that kid just now.”
It was the first time that Amelie was amused by Lamont, and it was the kind of smile that had no grievances in her heart.
Perhaps neither Lamont nor Amelie realized that the conversation between the two had begun to undergo subtle changes.
There were no longer each other’s angry faces, from endlessly stepping on and sarcasm each other as soon as they met, now they could sit together calmily, talking and laughing.
The dinner was quite harmonious, at least Amelie really felt a lot more relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Amelie was about to rush to the next announcement, and she didn’t know what difficulties would be waiting for her there.
But ever since she knew that Lamont, as the president of Prosperity Global Entertainment, was no better than herself, she felt a lot more balanced.
Because the company’s afternoon meeting schedule was as full as Amelie’s, Lamont hurried back to the company after sending Amelie to the shooting location.
When Amelie arrived, Cynthia and Alice had already arrived, and the relevant staff were
all ready.
As soon as Amelie entered, the atmosphere inside changed immediately, with gloomy faces, and Amelie thought she had misremembered the time.
“If I remember correctly, our announcement today should start at two o’clock in the afternoon, and it’s only one o’clock now. I’m not late, am I?”
Amelie really couldn’t accept the strange gazes from those people, and as a result, there
was still no echo in front of her.
In the end, Cynthia spoke first.
“You’re a newcomer,
and you don’t know how many times you’ll have to shoot to achieve the effect. You don’t have a sense of time, and you can be lawless just because you have Lamont to protect you?”
These words directly angered Amelie, why? This woman was on gunpowder, can’t she speak well?
“Cynthia, did you take the wrong medicine today? You always target people in your
company on purpose. Do you want everyone to see Prosperity Global Entertainment’s jokes?”
Cynthia was also very angry at Amelie’s words, took a deep breath, and shouted to hurry up and shoot, don’t waste each other’s time.
Amelie sneered, this woman always liked to bully the weak, if you don’t know how to fight back, she would get more and more insatiable.
She thought she didn’t give in to Cynthia, plus Lamont warned her on the set in the
morning.
The afternoon shoot shall go a little smoother.
In the end, it turned out that Amelie imagined this thing too beautifully.
She seemed to be targeted by everyone, and those people were all on Cynthia’s side, constantly causing trouble for her filming.
“Stop, this look doesn’t look good. What does the makeup artist do? How did he make such an ugly look?”
Amelie had endured for a long time, and it was really tiring to keep shooting for a long
time.
Nobody knew how many times the producer stopped the shooting, but she
exhausted all over.
“Producer, this is obviously not our problem.”
felt
The make–up artist beside him was still throwing the pot away, using his life to ensure that there was no problem with the styling.
With this sentence, Cynthia and the producer immediately came to play.
Cynthia and the producer came together in front of the camera, acting more dedicated
than Amelie.
They were doing everything they could to find out what the problem was.
At this time, Amelie already expected that they would start playing tricks.
“Since it’s not his problem, what is the problem?”
Cynthia stepped forward very cooperatively, with an exaggerated and surprised expression.
“Ah! I’m really sorry for the production teacher. It’s really not the stylist’s fault. It’s obviously that Amelie’s facial expression is not in place, which makes the picture ugly.”
Amelie was really helpless about this, and took a breath, almost lost her temper at this
sentence.
“Ms. Cynthia’s words are really true. There is indeed something wrong with Ms. Mullen’s expression.”
It was only then that Amelie understood why Cynthia temporarily acted as her agent. It turned out that all the announcements she arranged for herself belonged to her, and they all wore the same pair of pants as her.
This producer was no different from Sue in the morning, he would only echo Cynthia’s
words.
Cynthia on the side looked aloof, watching Amelie deflated, not to mention how happy
she was.
“Amelie, don’t be angry. We are all here to give you some advice. This is a good thing for you. You have to learn more. After all, you are a newcomer, and it is helpful to accumulate some experience.”
Screw you! Cynthia would really put a high hat on herself for the identity of someone
who came here.
Amelie was disgusted by Gladstone’s high profile, and every word she said to herself was inseparable from the fact that she was a newcomer.
Always use these excuses to belittle and sarcasm herself, as if it would bring her great
pleasure.
If it was someone else, maybe Cynthia would really gaslight her.
“I’m really sorry, teachers. I’m really a newcomer. I don’t have much experience and I don’t know the rules very well, so I have caused trouble for you. Please take care of me.”
Amelie’s apology was very sincere, and she even bowed politely to the production teacher. At that time, everyone on the field was stunned, and Cynthia was even more surprised. She knew Amelie’s character best. How could she bends over to a producer.
But that’s what Amelie did, she just wanted to catch Cynthia by surprise, didn’t she always say that she was a rookie and had no experience?
This time, she was about to show that she was a newcomer. She had known that Cynthia would target her, and she should have thought that Cynthia had greeted these producers in advance, and wanted to cooperate to destroy herself.
Amelie jumped over Cynthia and approached the producer Lucy. What she had to do was to pull everyone who was standing on Cynthia’s side to her side one by one.
They stood by Cynthia’s side because Cynthia gave them benefits, but no one would do such a thing. Don’t forget that the Mullen family is the richest in Oakland.
“Lucy, I really don’t have much experience, and I was rushed to the shelves by Cynthia. I know you are the most generous, and you will definitely forgive me, will you?”
Amelie whispered in Lucy’s ear, and privately put the recharge card in her hand.
“Ms. Lucy, you can buy all the large shopping malls in Oakland free of charge for one year. It’s just my gift, nothing to worry about.”
When she heard this sentence, Lucy’s back straightened instantly, and her eyes lit up. Cynthia also said that Amelie was an ignorant young man, and now it seemed that she
was not.
Lucy’s attitude towards Amelie changed in an instant, and her gloomy face just now
became amiable.
“Ms. Mullen is so polite, we should praise newcomers more, shouldn’t we?”
Amelie nodded with a smile. She didn’t expect that Lucy would turn against her so soon, and the fiancée of the dignified Capet family was nothing more than that. She must not be as generous as she was to pull people to do things. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Fortunately, when she was having dinner with Lamont, Amelie borrowed a one–year free shopping mall recharge card from his wallet, but she didn’t expect it to be effective.
Cynthia didn’t know what was going on, but when she saw Lucy’s attitude towards
Amelie changed, she kept winking at her, but she didn’t know that she had been bought by Amelie.
The filming continued, and it was a scene where the heroine was caught in the rain, but Cynthia always disliked the fact that the artificial rainfall was too fake, and mocked. that there was no water on Amelie’s body and hair.
“Amelie is still a newcomer, and she can’t perform without real objects. Her facial expressions and movements are too contrived and exaggerated. Let’s cut it.”
Cynthia’s comments on Amelie had never been merciless.
“I think Amelie, as a newcomer, can shoot like this is already very good, just add some special effects and transitions in the later stage. Fans mainly look at the beauty of the
heroine.”
It was the first time that Lucy spoke for Amelie, Cynthia was stunned and kept winking
at her.
“For the sake of Amelie’s image, let’s do it again. There are so many mistakes in the first time on camera, and she will lose many fans.”
Seeing that Lucy didn’t help, Cynthia took it upon herself to ask the cameraman to take another shot, and also asked the props staff to connect a longer water pipe, which directly poured on Amelie’s body without saying a word.
The icy tap water drenched Amelie thoroughly from top to bottom. It happened so
suddenly that she didn’t react at all.
“Stop! What’s the matter with the props? Who should you listen to on the set? Can you
be responsible for the mistakes?”
Lucy was the kind of person who was nice to whoever benefits her. When she saw her benefactor getting wet, she rushed up with a towel, and Cynthia clenched her fists in
anger.
“Amelie, the reaction just now was very good, but the expression was too exaggerated
and unsightly. You should do it again and pay attention to your expression
management.”
Cynthia was addicted, and Lucy couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Aren’t you crazy? She’ll freeze to death in such cold water.”
“Lucy, you should know who made you to this position. This is not the attitude you
should talk to me.”
Finally, Cynthia couldn’t bear to accuse her. Sure enough, she must have some ulterior secret, but after taking Amelie’s benefits, she had to protect her, and suddenly fell into a
dilemma.
Lucy didn’t dare to speak anymore, revenge must be done as soon as possible, Amelie was not a pussy, let alone relying on others to get ahead of her, Cynthia made it clear that she was trying to make things difficult for her.
Amelie wiped off the water stains on her body, took a deep breath, and tried to calm. herself down as much as possible.
“Cynthia is right. I really felt like I was there just now, but I don’t know how to manage facial expressions. Can Cynthia demonstrate it for me?”
After finishing speaking, Amelie cast her eyes on Lucy, who of course knew what it
meant.
“Amelie is right. Isn’t Ms. Gladstone Mullen’s teacher? We should give her a live
demonstration.”
Cynthia’s face was about to deform with anger, “How can I get caught in the rain? Are you insane?”
Amelie was completely irritated by what she said, and she made a gesture at the prop teacher, and the cold water pipe began to spit water.
Amelie suddenly pulled Cynthia over, and with a scream, Cynthia was drenched, and this scene happened to be recorded by the camera in front of her.
“Cynthia, I really admire you. You can show your acting skills to the fullest without any preparation. It seems that I really need to learn from you a lot in the future.”
Amelie quickly threw the towel on Cynthia’s body, and she was trembling with anger, “Amelie! Are you crazy?”
