The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 119

Obviously, knocking her head repeatedly on the ground indeed accounted for that.

“Good grief… You really knocked your head as you were told?” For some reason, Calvin was rather ticked off all of a sudden.

“What do you suggest, then? I can’t possibly refuse, can I? If I’ve done that, I wouldn’t have been paid a penny as a background actor today,” retorted Rosalie.

The man’s breath hitched at that. He naturally knew that background actors were the most vulnerable of the entire film crew. Once they were asked to do some extra work, there would be absolutely no room for negotiation or discussion.

“How much do you get paid a day as a background actor? His tone was sullen.

“I’m getting 16 dollars a day. But today, I got an extra 10 dollars because of the kneeling scene. And then, I was asked to personally demonstrate prostrating and knocking my head against the floor, which netted me another 40 dollars,” revealed Rosalie.

In other words, she actually knelt and banged her head on the floor again and again for a measly 65 dollars. Calvin glared at the woman, feeling royally upset.

“Doesn’t she know how herself at all he grumbled inwardly.

Then came his question. “Is there a feud between you and Loretta?” A moment ago, he could also tell that Loretta was making things difficult for Rosalie on purpose.

Yet, not a single soul in the film crew had the gall to utter a word. That went without saying, for background actors were never valued by anyone. To make matters worse, the film crew was made up of only astute people, so no one would want to speak up for a background actor to risk offending Loretta.

After all, Loretta had Calvin himself backing her.

At the thought of that, Calvin felt as though something was stuck in his chest. It was suffocating for him, to say the least.

“She’s my half-sister. As for the feud between us, I guess I could say we do share one. She always thinks that the fact that I’d been to prison lent impetus to ruining her future,” commented Rosalie.
