“I’m not sure either.” The crew member didn’t want to let on just yet.
Hazel had no choice but to reluctantly make her way to the conference room.
Lo and behold, she found a grim Vincent as soon as she entered, and her heart couldn’t help skipping a beat.
Then, as though she understood what was going on when she found Bailey sitting aside, she instantly berated the poor assistant, “How dare you slack off, Bailey?! I’ve been waiting for the fruit for ages!”
“I quit, Miss Hazel.” Well, Bailey had guts, that was for sure.
“I’ll pack up and go,” she announced after putting the fruits on the table.
“W-What is the meaning of this?!” Hazel turned grim at once.
“Lestrange, Bailey has confessed to everything.
I never thought giving you a chance to join my production would lead you to use such despicable ticks to discredit Jessie,” Vincent chided.
Hazel froze for a few seconds before she pulled out her usual coquetry card.
“Director Cooper, there must be some mistake.
Bailey had just uploaded it by accident.
I already told her not to do it, but who’d have thought she wouldn’t listen to me? Oh, come on, I promise I’ll lecture her!”
“Don’t act dumb with me, Lestrange! Bailey said you instigated her to do it.
She even said you’re jealous of Jessie because she’s a rookie, so you don’t want to be a rookie’s supporting act.”
“That’s not what I mean at all, Director Cooper! I’m just here to act.”
“Just pack up and go! You’re no longer welcome to join any of my productions.” Vincent shooed her away unforgivingly.
“I’ve learned my lesson, Director Cooper! I shouldn’t have attacked Jessie.
She’s a good girl and a dedicated actress! It’s on me! Please give me another chance! I’ve really learned my lesson!” Hazel instantly looked piteously at Vincent in hopes that her beauty would soften him.
“Leave first thing tomorrow morning,” Vincent ordered impassively.
“And you can forget about joining my production.”
As soon as Vincent left, Hazel immediately grabbed onto Timmy, the assistant director.
“Timmy, you have to help me out here! I’ve only made a mistake out of whim.
Why can’t Director Cooper give me a break?!”
“It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but do you not realize whom you’ve messed with? Young Master Julian, of all people! And have you no clue who Jessie is to Young Master Julian?!”
“What do you mean?” Hazel asked apprehensively.
“He led her into showbiz himself.
She’s his.
Whoever dares mess with her is just as good as messing with him! You’ve shot yourself in the foot this time.”
“Wait, Timmy, are you saying Young Master Julian is pursuing Silverstein?”
At that, Timmy leaned closer to Hazel and whispered, “Who’s to say if she’ll become the second young mistress of the Gilmore Family?! Good luck out there!”
Hazel’s face blanched in response, finally realizing whom she had screwed with.
The newbie she had despised so much might possibly be the future Second Young Mistress of the Gilmore Family?! If Jessie really became the Second Young Mistress of the Gilmore Family, then her words would weigh a lot! Not to mention when she’d be banned from the industry instantly if Jessie gave the word!
“F*ck! H-How did I end up messing with such a powerful character?!” Hazel stomped in panic.
Leaving this production wasn’t the worst possible scenario, but her entire career would be ruined because of her stupidity.
I have to apologize to her! mused Hazel as she pushed the conference room door open and hurried toward the elevator.
She had to get to Jessie quickly.
She pressed the doorbell, but no one answered, so she had no choice but to wait at the door.
I need to apologize, or I’m done for! Please, oh heavens, save me! She waited and waited, but to her dismay, the first to return was Lexie.
“Is there something I can do for you, Miss Hazel?”
“Lexie, is Jessie inside?”
“No.
She’s gone out for dinner and hasn’t come back yet.”
“Do you know when she’ll be back then?”
“Should be soon.
Do you want to come in?”
“Alright.
I’ll wait for her inside.
I have something pressing to talk to her about.”
Right then, Jessie was in the restaurant with Julian, who had received a call saying they had found out who the slanderer was.
