Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 235

On the second day, Elspeth joined the crew.

Her visit surprised Aiden. “Miss Lynwood, are you here for the shooting?”

He had watched the video of Elspeth outperforming Emma last time. Based on his professional opinion, Elspeth did an excellent job and indeed lived up to the title of Payton Schwartz’s student. Her appearance and acting skills would make her a top celebrity within three years if she tried.

To his surprise, such a talented woman offered to play a supporting role.

“That’s right. There’s a shortage of actresses, isn’t it? For the sake of fairness, I’ll demonstrate my acting skills first. You can decide whether I pass or fail.”

“Of course. I’d be honored.”

Aiden was sweating profusely at this point.

He heard that Elspeth rejected the female lead role when another crew offered it to her. As such, Aiden wondered if he had done anything special to have her volunteer to play a supporting role in his film.

The scene Elspeth auditioned for was when her character found that the female lead was unconscious, so she carried the other woman on her back and sent the female lead to the hospital.

Sizing the skinny Elspeth up and down, Aiden hesitated and suggested, “If you have trouble carrying her, we can modify the scene to which you carry her by putting her arm around your shoulder.”

She glanced at Yelena, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious.

“What’s so hard about carrying a woman as slim as her?”

Aiden swallowed nervously. “Recently, Yelena has gained 22 pounds to prepare for her role. Now, she weighs around 115 pounds. The other actors gave it a try, but only Blake managed to carry her. The rest failed.”

“That’s lame. Can the rest even count as men?”

Callum smiled, agreeing with her, “You’re right.”

One of the actors stepped out to confront Elspeth when he heard such comments. “How dare you say that? Yelena is the one to blame for gaining weight, which was why we couldn’t carry her. It’s impossible to carry a girl as heavy as her!”

Something flashed through Yelena’s eyes when she heard that. Even though she was hurt, she forced a smile.

After all, she could still lose weight if she wanted. For now, she only gained weight to meet the character’s profile. She kept telling herself that the harsh comments weren’t bothering her.

Elspeth scoffed at that. “Loser.”
