Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2118

This particular scene was a showdown between Athena, the third lead, and Anna, where Athena was supposed to get slapped. Doris had been worried about this part ever since joining the set, mainly because Anna seemed to have it out for Athena from day one, always finding ways to bully her.

But Anna was WAJA Media's golden goose, and everyone had to tiptoe around her. Athena, on the other hand, was just a third-tier actress who didn't play the game of networking and schmoozing that was so common in showbiz. Since entering the industry, Athena had never bothered with sucking up to others.

Doris sometimes thought that might be a good thing. Sure, Athena wasn't hounded by crazed fans, and she made a decent living, but it also meant she was an easy target for bullies, which was a major downside.

Athena was all made-up and ready, standing across from Anna. Anna's acting wasn't extraordinary, but she had a way of keeping it together, and her popularity was through the roof, which is why audiences loved her and she became a top- tier star.

As soon as Anna delivered her lines, Athena's cheek met her hand with a loud smack. The director frowned, "Cut! Anna, you need to wait for Athena to respond before you slap her."

Anna looked genuinely surprised, covering her mouth. "Oh, sorry, I forgot."

Doris was fuming. It was obvious Anna had done it on purpose. She glanced over at Athena, who seemed unfazed, as if she was used to this kind of treatment.
