Chapter 25: The Bitter Truth
Michelle was greatly offended by Richard’s words. They felt like sharp daggers piercing her skin, each one adding fuel to the fire of her growing anger.
"What did you say?" She questioned, glaring hard at him, daring him to repeat his words.
Richard didn’t seem to understand her message.
"Come on Michelle. It’s just common sense. You said director Jeunes is the one in charge of the production of the movie, right? But he rejected your performance despite how famous you are and accepted Selene’s. It simply means she’s better than you," he replied. "She’s also prettier than you," he added, about to turn to continue his game after destroying Michelle’s ego.
Before he could focus on his game, he felt a hard object hit his back.
"Ouch!" He winced in pain. "What the bell, Michelle?!!"
He looked down and found the bedside lamb on the ground, already broken due to the impact.
"Are you sick in the head?" He questioned her.
"Maybe I am!!" Michelle yelled. She was starting to lose it and Richard could see it. Her face was flushed red in anger and it seemed she could kill anyone at that moment. "That bitch stole my role by sleeping with director Jeunes and you dare to tell me she’s better than me. You must be blind, Richard!"
Richard stared at her in bewilderment.
Michelle pulled her head in frustration. "Can you believe the role they gave me? The role of the concubine," she replied before Richard could answer.
