Chapter 9

Emily withdrew her gaze. She didn't think that Ricky would want to talk to her. Coincidentally, an assistant came over with a medical box in her hand. "Sister , let me deal with your wound, okay?"

Although Emily didn't know this assistant, she needed her help at the moment, so Emily didn't refuse her. Instead, she followed her to a quiet corner.

After Emily sat down, the assistant skillfully tore open the package and began to deal with the wound for Emily. It was not until then that Emily remembered, "you... Are not my assistant, are you?"

The assistant nodded and looked up at Emily with a smile. "Just call me Lesley. I'm not in charge of taking care of you."

Emily had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, but this kind of thing was rare. She thought that someone's assistant on the film happened to be free, so she came to help.

"Who are you in charge of? If you come here like this, what if your actor can't find your?" Emily didn't want to be a busybody. In the entertainment circle, even a small assistant could be involved with many affairs.

Lesley kept saying, "Emily, bear the pain. The hydrogen peroxide is for disinfection." Then she put the bandage soaked with hydrogen peroxide on Emily's knees. Although Emily was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Rickey didn't say anything. He is not busy now, so he asked me to come here."

Emily didn't expect to get such an answer. She looked up at Ricky subconsciously, only to find that he was no longer there.

Emily felt a little complicated. She was not familiar with Ricky at all, only because she had talked with him about the menu and food last time

Emily's favorable impression of Ricky soared sharply in the bottom of her heart. Girls often had a good impression of such a considerate boy, not to mention that Ricky was a famous director with a halo.

People around had been watching what had happened between Emily and Lesley.

When Yammi heard the news, a literary movie Director Rachel once directed was sent to attend the International Film Festival, so she deliberately made an excuse to study today and stayed with him all the time. She thought that if Director Rachel became rich, it would be easier to get close to him and find a role.

At first, all her attention was on Director Rachel, but she accidentally found Emily and Lesley, who were applying medicine to the wound. She cared about Emily, so she kept an eye on the people around Emily.

The more she looked at the assistant, the more familiar she felt. She had never seen Emily before, but she looked a little familiar.

Now she was not in the mood to listen to Director Rachel's speech. She wondered where she had seen this assistant, let alone she really came up with it.

This assistant was the one who had worked for Ricky before! After reconfirming it, Yammi's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why did the assistant beside Ricky stay with Emily so attentively?!

At this time, Yammi did not realize that she was full of jealousy. She almost bit her teeth.

"Honey, are you listening carefully?"

Director Rachel was a little dissatisfied with her absence of mind. When she came to her senses, she quickly put on a sweet smile again and said in a flattering tone, "Oh, I'm digesting what you said to me just now. I'm so obsessed with it. Director Rachel, your words really make me enlightened! I really admire you!"

Emily's flattery made Director Rachel feel comfortable. He didn't care about her distraction just now. He patted on her shoulder with a smile and said, "the teacher likes the students who like to learn new thing. If you still don't understand, you can come to me at any time."

Many people around saw the intimate conversation between Emily and Director Rachel, but they just pretended not to see it. After all, the mastermind behind Yammi was Eason Wills. No matter what, Yammi would not Leave the good flesh of the president of the entertainment dream group and turn to take the bait of Director Rachel.

Soon it was time for lunch. She smoothed her hair and went to her dressing room to have lunch, twisting her slim waist.

After lunch, everyone began to prepare a new scene, and required Emily to be pushed into the pool by a supporting actress.

The play was a fierce emotional collision, and Director Rachel attached great importance to it. He returned to the scene early and found Emily and the supporting actress to explain the play together.

"The conflict in this play must be fierce! Ella, you have to show your jealousy in the play and push. Your sister EMily is experienced and can protect herself. Our pool is not deep and nothing will happen. Try your best to pass the falling scene once in case of wasting everyone's time."

After saying that, Director Rachel was still worried and reminded Ella again and again to show her emotions. After Ella made sure that there was no problem, Director Rachel asked the staff to prepare the machine.

"Action!" Director Rachel sat behind the monitor, frowning and looking at the two people in the camera. He didn't worry about Emily at all. Emily's performance these days had proved that she was good at acting. The only thing he worried about was the new supporting actress.

As expected, after Emily finished her speech, it was the female supporting role Ella's turn to push her down the pond. However, Ella was too nervous to do it. Every time she was about to get close to Emily's body, she withdrew her hand subconsciously, so that Emily could only lean back along her force.

Director Rachel was so angry that he shouted again and again. Emily stood aside with a big towel all over her body, expressionless. Originally, Emily had a good attitude and was gentle to the younger generation. However, being dragged by a person, she fell into the pool again and again. No matter how gentle Emily was, she lost her temper.

"How many times have I told you? you really push it, do you think the audience now are all idiots? You are wasting everyone's time! Do you know how much these machines cost every day? How long have you been doing this? Can you afford the loss?"

Ella was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head. Her eyes turned red because of Director Rachel's scolding.

"Oh, Director Rachel, don't be angry. Ella is still a newcomer. It's allowed that she can't meet your requirements in a short time. Don't be angry."

With delicate make-up, Yammi walked up to Director Rachel, patted him on the chest and gave him a seductive look, successfully calming him down.

"Now that Ella can't find the feeling that Director Rachel wants, why don't you let me show her?"

Subconsciously, Emily felt something was wrong, but director said, "Okay, Ella. Have a good look at her. If you can't anymore, you'd better Leave!"

Ella cast a grateful glance at Emily and apologized to Director Rachel. Then she stood behind the monitor and began to watch the drama between Emily and Yammi carefully.

After all the staff left the scene, Yammi smiled at Emily and shook her hair, indicating Emily to read the lines.
