Chapter 52
Chapter 52
Studio City.
As Alice arrived at the set, she noticed many people whispering among themselves while glancing at her. The look of envy in their eyes was like sharp knives, ready to dissect her to pieces at any moment.
She frowned slightly, not thinking she had done anything to cause public outrage.
Nearby, one of the girls could not help but comment with a smirk, “So the rumors are true. There’s really something going on between her and Freddie King.”
It turned out that Freddie King had arrived at the set that day, supposedly to visit Josh Kaur.
“Maisie said Josh isn’t even here… he’s not who Mr. King is here for today.”
“Oh! Why would a nice guy like Mr. King mingle with a devil like her?”
“I’ve quietly messaged Sheryl. Let’s sit back and watch the show!”
As the girls talked, they looked at a gloomy-faced Maisie beside them. “Maisie, you’re good friends with Sheryl. Has she said when she’ll be coming?”

Maisie looked coldly toward Alice and said with a smirk, “Don’t ask me. Go ask a certain someone who’s really good at what she does…”
It was time for Alice to get her makeup done, so she ignored them and promptly went into the dressing room.
As the girls watched Alice vanish into the dressing room, one of them said to Maisie, “Look at that, what’s she so proud about… does she really think Mr. King is going to marry her?”
Maisie chuckled and said to the girls, “Today, Sheryl’s coming for a cameo role. You all just watch. Somebody’s going to get slapped!”
“Wow? Really? Alice is dead for sure!”
The script for today’s shooting had Alice’s character facing off against a primordial celestial maiden. Her character had committed an offense, which caused the celestial maiden to be in a bad mood, so the two would fight.
Initially, the director intended for the celestial maiden to be played by their producer, who was a beauty herself. However, as Alice was having her makeup done, the makeup artist reminded her, “Alice, today the celestial maiden has been switched to Sheryl Lynn. You be careful.”
Upon hearing the makeup artist’s reminder, Alice removed an exquisite jewelry box from within her bag and quietly put it into the makeup artist’s pocket.
“Linda, thanks for helping me snoop for info. Here’s a little gift from my heart. Hope you like it…”
Linda looked at the logo on the jewelry box, then peered at their surroundings before whispering, “Alice, what are you doing? This is making me feel a bit awkward.”
“It’s a gift from the sponsors, no money spent. Just take it, sis. No need to worry!” Alice chuckled.
Everyone in the business knew that when someone sold you a piece of info, you must show gratitude with a respectable gift.
Although Linda’s info today was not as precious as the jewelry, she had shown her cheerful willingness to sell her info to Alice at any
time.
So by Alice showing her gratitude, it meant that Linda could continue selling info to her in the future.
“Then… I’ll keep it for now. I’ll tell you when I have more gossip.” Linda smiled contentedly.
Alice nodded and then let Linda do her styling.
When her styling was done, Josh Kaur arrived.
Last night, this guy had been sleepless the whole night due to excitement over his in-game rank rising, which caused unusually heavy dark circles around his eyes. Upon entering the dressing room, he caught hold of Freddie, demanding the latter’s company…
Alice had no time to greet him anyway, so she went straight to the director to discuss the scene.
