Chapter 126
“Agnes, what’s up with you? You look kinda off.” Ava gave Agnes’s arm a little shake.
Agnes just sat there, zoned out
Was Mamie coming to the set?
Was this just a coincidence?
Right then, the door of the break room swung open. A bunch of people immediately appeared at the doorway.
Several assistants and makeup artists entered, each loaded with their tools.
Then, the director walked in, Mamie in tow.
Everyone was gobsmacked when they saw Mamie
She was stunning, even more captivating than on the big screen.
Sure, they were in the entertainment industry every day, but someone of Mamie’s caliber wasn’t someone they could casually bump into.
The director cheerfully introduced her, “Mamie has joined our ‘Cinderella‘ crew today. Everyone, learn from her.”
Everyone immediately swarmed around her.
Beatrice was the most enthusiastic, darting to the front. “Mamie, I’m Preston’s daughter, Beatrice. I’m a super fan of yours. Meeting you today is like winning the lottery.”
Once Beatrice said that, everyone else started singing Mamie’s praises
Mamie, however, wore an aloof expression, seemingly unimpressed.
She scanned the room, eventually resting her gaze on Agnes, who was still sitting beside her.
Everyone was bustling around Mamie, only Agnes hadn’t budged.
Seeing Mamie’s icy stare, Ava quickly nudged Agnes, “Hurry up and say hi to Mamie.”
Agnes stood up, saying, “Hi, Mamie.”
Mamie only gave her a cold glance without a response. She turned to the director and said, “Arrange a separate restroom for me. It’s too noisy here.”
The director said, “Of course! The room next door is a bit smaller, but it’s decent. Mamie, please make do with it as your temporary makeup room.”
After Mamie left, everyone still stood there, discussing her.
“Her vibe is so strong! I almost didn’t dare to speak when she looked at me”
“Mamie must be one of the most beautiful stars in the industry; even her aloofness is charming
“But why did Mamie seem a bit unhappy?”
Beatrice piped up: “Some people, relying on their leading role, didn’t even greet Mamie. Do you expect her to take the initiative to greet you? Look at her status in the industry!”
Beatrice was clearly taunting Agnes.
The crew knew about the feud between these two sisters, but no one dared to get involved, given the Pritchard family’s complicated relationships.
Everyone returned to their own makeup counters.
Seeing no one back her up, Beatrice snorted and left the room.
Ava whispered to Agnes, “Agnes, what happened earlier? Did you know Mamie before?”
Agnes’s reaction was evidently strange.
Typically, whether it was a newcomer or a veteran joining the crew, Agnes would always be particularly welcoming.
Agnes smiled, saying, “I’m fine, probably just not in the best shape today.”
The director suddenly decided to switch to a different scene during the shoot.
Given Mamie’s limited three–day schedule, it was natural for the crew to prioritize her.
Consequently, the director shot Naomi’s three scenes within these few days.
The scene scheduled for today was a face–off between Naomi and Sylvia.
