Chapter 39
Having stayed up until two in the morning analyzing Matthew’s script for him, Eliza didn’t wake up until late morning the next day. Out of habit, she picked up her phone to look at the time. It was already nine o’clock! She leaped out of bed and dashed into the bathroom to wash up. Then, she slipped into a change of clothes, flew downstairs in a couple of strides, and left home.
It wasn’t until she climbed out of the car at the entrance of Parson Media did she suddenly remember that she… seemed to have resigned yesterday. O Standing before the wide glass doors that led into the building, Eliza heaved a long sigh. In Tom’s office yesterday, she was beyond unrestrained when she declared that she would walk herself out. The grief did not sink in until now when she was standing in front of everything that was once familiar to her.
There was only one Parson Media in all of Krine. If she still wished to continue working as a stuntwoman, she would have no choice but to move to another city. If she were to remain in Krine, that would mean that she must undergo a job change. There was no way she could leave Krine. As for getting a new job… Eliza felt a pang of dizziness strike her. She had spent so many years mingling within Parson Media as a stuntwoman that she had never given any thought to the possibility of a life as anything but a stuntwoman.
“Eliza!”
out another sigh, a male voice laced with surprise called out to her. She looked in his direction. It was the Chief Director of the series Snowy Night. The scene of him sternly ordering Tom to fire her yesterday was still fresh in her mind. “Hello, chief director.” Seeing him walk up to her, Eliza forced a smile. “Don’t you worry.” “I’m only here to take a look. I’ve already quit yesterday-you won’t see me in Parson Media anymore in the days to come.” After that, she turned and left.
a minute!” Before she could take another step, the man grabbed her by the arm. He looked at her with a
and the drama would be forfeited.” She simply couldn’t wring two billion dollars out of Beau just for Tom, so she chose to step down without objection. The chief director paused for a moment before his lips pulled into a smile. “Ah, it seems you don’t know yet.” “What do you mean?” He sighed. “Eliza, I wasn’t very nice to you yesterday. I apologize for that. “However, it was only for the sake of the crew that I put forward the suggestion of firing you. “Nevertheless, it is thanks to yesterday’s trending searches that we now know that you have been framed by Madeleine. We have all misunderstood you.” With that, the director raised a hand and patted Eliza on the shoulder. “Early this morning, Carr’s manager had approached me and requested that I recruit you for the position of the second female lead. “To start with, Robinson’s role was the outcome of Carr’s efforts. Now that they’ve parted ways, there’s no reason for her to remain in the cast. “What’s more, you can view this as my attempt at making up for your loss.” Seeing the shock in Eliza’s face, the chief director laughed. “Also, Mr. Carr specifically mentioned that despite your limited experience outside being a stuntwoman, he believes that your hard work won’t disappoint. “The entire Snowy Night crew is excited to watch you flourish.” Eliza was at a loss for words. She was simply too dumbstruck to locate her tongue. What in the world was Jay Carr thinking? She had no trouble understanding why he would remove Madeleine from the cast after the huge
