Chapter 681 Her Friend Is A Bigshot
’Yeah, come back to my lounge so I can teach you a lesson properly. I want to see you kneel and beg for my help, just so you’ll finally understand your place. Maybe then, you’ll stop acting so arrogant when you can’t even stand on your own.’ Emily thought smugly, her gaze fixed on Hera, waiting for her response.
"No need," Hera replied, her expression unreadable. "I’ll just ask a friend to help me out."
Alice let out a dramatic sigh, as if truly concerned. "You can’t just ask any random person to do your makeup, Hera. This is a major production with millions of dollars at stake—we can’t afford to be careless." She paused before adding, her tone almost coaxing, "Just come with us, okay? It’ll be easier that way."
"It’s alright, you guys just focus on finishing your makeup," Hera said, already typing on her phone. A moment later, she glanced up as a message popped up on her screen. "Looks like my friend is nearby, so it won’t take long for them to get here and finish my makeup."
"They?" The director raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with curiosity and slight concern. He wanted to step in—after all, this was his production, and resolving issues like this was his responsibility, not something the actors should be handling on their own.
"Oh, Director, she’s just bringing extra hands to speed things up, so others don’t need to wait for me," Hera replied smoothly, casting a subtle side glance at Emily.
Though her words were directed at the director, the real message was for Emily and Alice—telling them, without saying it outright, to stop talking and just leave already.
Seeing that they couldn’t get the upper hand against Hera, Emily huffed in frustration and stormed back to her lounge. Alice, throwing a sheepish smile Hera’s way—one that others could see—quickly followed, trying to soothe Emily. The rest of the actors in the shared makeup room also dispersed, returning to their seats.
However, since Hera’s room was positioned right between Emily’s private lounge and the shared makeup area, it gave everyone a clear view of what was happening.
