Chapter 44 Could Not Afford To Do That

Everleigh covered her cheek and stared at Selena in disbelief. She could not believe that her sister, whom she grew up with, would slap her.

"What's going on?" Mr. Blake's voice came behind the camera. "Why aren't you saying your lines?"

Selena replied, "Mr. Blake, I forgot. Let's do it again."

"Okay, everyone, get back to your positions. Props team, you should get ready. Let's take a break and do it again."

The other actors were used to it. They went back to their position blankly, but Everleigh was left sitting on the floor.

Selena's assistant helped her to her feet. Selena exercised her wrists and looked down at Everleigh. "Sorry I didn't see you. I hit the wrong person." She did not sound apologetic.

Everleigh leaned against the wall to stand up, and her face was grim. She stared at Selena's back and regained her composure. As the rest of the crew members gossiped behind her back, she clenched her fists.

She had no idea when the conflict started with Selena. When they were on set, Selena would make things difficult for her. Selena's immature behavior did not bother Everleigh. Hence she did not take it to heart. However, Selena just slapped her. It dawned on her that Selena was not throwing a tantrum; in fact, Selena hated her.

The props team rearranged the scene swiftly. Everyone was waiting for Selena to get ready for another take.

As they filmed another take, Selena raised her hand, but Everleigh blocked Selena's hand without hesitation.

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Mr. Blake stood up in annoyance and asked, "What's going on? Why would a temporary actor do that? Whose hand is that?"

Selena immediately pulled away from Everleigh and told Mr. Blake, "Who else could it be? It's Dr. Trevino, our beloved medical expert. She thinks she's the lead actress."
