Aria's face turned stiff. However, she could not afford to get mad right now, so she could only put on a fake smile. She took out her wallet and asked Serenity, "How much?""$106," replied Serenity.Aria took out $200 from her wallet, trying to act generous. "Keep the change. Consider it a gift from me."Serenity scoffed. She took the money and said, "A gift from you? Please, I'm the one who's showing you kindness by only taking this much. If I press charges for assault, how much do you think you would have to pay?"Aria blushed profusely. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask so no one saw it.She had almost forgotten that Serenity used to be a lawyer!"I would never hurt you on purpose." Aria put on a fake smile. "It was an accident, I swear.""Aria, what's the point of putting on a show in front of me?" Serenity looked at Aria in amusement, "You and I both know what kind of person you are. There's no one else here. All this acting will just make me think that you're a clown."

But the women were under the illusion that they were being spoiled.Aria took off her sunglasses and glared at Serenity with eyes that looked like they were spitting fire. "Serenity, Lucas is mine!""You should tell him that, not me," Serenity replied coldly."You..." Aria harrumphed and walked away furiously.Since she could not get any answer from Serenity, there was no point in wasting her time. However... she would make Serenity pay for what she said today!What did Serenity mean by "it's not like you'll be Lucas Gomez's girlfriend for long"? She would be Lucas Gomez's last girlfriend!She would not concede Lucas Gomez to anyone no matter what!That night, Serenity received a voice message from the organizer of the extras. He asked her to go to the same filming venue again on her day off this week."The director said you did pretty well in some of the shots. There's a group scene that they still haven't filmed yet. They want to use the same group of extras as last time for

Her face became even redder. She tried her best to move her face away from his fingers, but his fingers followed her like a shadow; she could not avoid them at all."Jackson Valor, stop teasing me," she said, short of breath. Under the light, her almond-shaped eyes did not look as gloomy as usual; in fact, due to her anger, they looked very spirited.He stared at her eyes in fascination. He had seen many eyes that were prettier, but this was the only pair of eyes that could fascinate him like this.Looking into her eyes, it made him want to monopolize her gaze. He did not want her to look at other men with those eyes."What if I'm not teasing you? What if I tell you that I can give you as much money as you want? Would you be willing to put up with me?"She could feel the coolness of his touch on her lips, as if his fingertips were continuously taking away her heat."I'd only take what I earn with my labor," she said, but she could not stop her heart from beating fast.He must be

"Don't say that, Melly!" Someone chided her."I'm just stating a fact," the woman named Melissa Zest snorted."But it's also a fact that she just got off a BMW," another person said."Maybe she managed to land a rich guy. Some people don't have any talent, but they know how to seduce men," said Melissa, her voice filled with jealousy.Last week, she thought Serenity was really unlucky to offend the second female lead, but who could have expected the prince of the entertainment industry to suddenly step forward and carry her all the way to the break room?Melissa was incredibly jealous. She had always dreamed of getting an opportunity like that. Melissa regretted it for days afterwards.If she had known, she would have volunteered when Aria Lewis asked Serenity to demonstrate the kneeling and kowtowing. Although it was humiliating, it won Lucas Gomez's attention, so it was definitely worth it.Melissa thought the luxury car just now must belong to Lucas Gomez. He must have asked

Everybody in the crew and cast had to pander to her. Even if Lucas had saved Serenity once, it was only a little incident; no one would offend Aria for an extra.The director told everyone to take their spot, and filming started.When they reached the scene where the extras had to kneel, a member of the crew suddenly ran to the director's side and said a few words in the director's ear. The director looked surprised. He got up and left in a hurry.Except for those who were in the scene, everyone else looked curiously in the direction the director had gone to. They wondered what had happened to make the director leave in such a hurry.They saw the director walking up to a man in a beige trench coat. The director lowered his head slightly as he spoke to the man and seemed to be showing the man a lot of respect. Seeing this, they speculated that the man was probably someone very important.The director was decently famous in the industry. He would not talk to an ordinary person like

Most of the people there did not hear the conversation between Jackson and the director. When they saw Jackson walking towards the group of extras, they could not help whispering and speculating among themselves.Several of the female extras were overjoyed to see Jackson walking towards them. They put on what they thought was their most lovely smile.Melissa Zest was naturally one of them. She wished she could just leap into Jackson's arms.She was even thinking if she should pretend to faint or accidentally stumble into Jackson so that she could start a conversation and get acquainted with him.After all, he was Jackson Valor, a man who could move mountains in Solaria.If she could catch Jackson Valor's eye, even if she only ended up as his mistress, it would be something that many women could only dream of.Moreover, she heard that Jackson Valor was not that interested in women. His only fiancée died in a car accident more than three years ago. If she actually managed to seduce

Melissa wished she could replace Serenity's head with her own.Jackson bent down and leaned over. He whispered in Serenity's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You were bullied the last time you filmed here, right? Should I help you get revenge today?"Serenity looked at him in confusion.The extras around Serenity were shocked again upon seeing that. Even an idiot could see that the two of them were very close. They could not help but speculate about Serenity's background.Could she really be a young lady from a rich family? Was she working as an extra for fun?As for the others there, the people who knew who Jackson was were completely in shock. When word got out of this, the gossip columns of Solaria would be working overtime for sure!The big boss of Solaria was acting really intimately with an extra. Their relationship did not look ordinary at all!Jenny pursed her lips. Worry and panic flashed across her eyes.Meanwhile, Aria gritted her teeth hatefully

The director was dumbfounded. He did not know how to answer that.Jackson did not keep his voice down, so quite a few people heard him. They all looked at Aria in unison.Aria was stunned. Before she could react, she heard Jackson say, "Since that person thinks the others' postures weren't proper enough, let her show us what a proper posture looks like."He glanced casually at Aria, as if the matter had been decided.Aria felt like screaming. What's the meaning of this? Did he want her to perform the kneeling and kowtowing? She's the second female lead and Lucas Gomez's girlfriend! How could she possibly "perform" kneeling and kowtowing in public – something the extras should do?Moreover, Jackson was obviously picking on her on purpose to get revenge for Serenity!Aria stood still with a stiff face. The director looked at Jackson, then at Aria, and, after weighing his options, walked over to Aria and said with a smile, "Aria, since you were the one who said that their postures w

"What?" Aria was incredulous. Jackson wanted her to... "You want me to kneel down to her?""Why not?" Jackson casually looked up and asked.Aria was speechless. Her face turned red in anger, but she could not find any response.'Is Jackson trying to get revenge for me?' thought Serenity. Or was he trying to tell Serenity that, even though Aria was backed by Lucas Gomez, he could still make her kneel whenever he wanted?Suddenly, a commotion rose from the entrance.The director turned around and, upon seeing the reason, did not know whether he should be nervous or relieved.Who would have thought that two big shots would decide to pay a visit to the set at the same time today!A tall man in a dark gray coat walked over, his face handsome but indifferent. It was Lucas Gomez.Serenity's eyes widened in surprise.Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to be a little surprised as well.On the contrary, Lucas looked calm when he saw Jackson and Serenity, as if he already k

If she really did quit, all her efforts so far would have been for naught!She did not want to remain a small-time actress forever. She wanted to be famous! She wanted to be a popular star! She even wanted to be an award-winning actress someday!Lucas gave Aria a sideway glance, then asked Jackson, "Do you dislike her?""A little bit," answered Jackson.He said it casually without keeping his voice low, so everyone nearby heard it. Although many of them did not like Aria too, they pity her now.After all, she was one of the few people that the emperor of Solaria had publicly declared his dislike of."In that case, you should quit," Lucas told Aria indifferently, as if it was something that's not very important.But when Aria heard it, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.Quit? He really wanted her to quit the show?! Just like that?! No way!Aria's eyes widened in disbelief. "Lucas... You... You want me to quit the show?""You said it yourself. If Jackson doesn't li
