The pre-screening was to be held at 8pm at one of New York’s biggest theaters.
As one of the most influential actors in New York, there was no doubt that there were plenty of attendees at the pre-screening. Amongst them were friends from the industry, big names in film and television, as well as people like President Wang who relied on contacts to get their hands on an invite.
Emma did not enter via the red carpet and did not undergo any interviews. After all, she was pregnant, and as a surprise guest, she was naturally led into the venue via a secret entrance.
However, something was a little different tonight. The person accompanying her was not her husband, but the nimble young lady, Yadanar.
To match Emma, Yadanar was dressed in a little black dress. Although she wasn’t as dazzling as Emma, underneath her usually baggy clothes was a surprisingly good figure.
On the way to the pre-screening, Emma sat opposite Yadanar and smiled, “With you protecting me, I feel quite relaxed.”
“As long as you aren’t worried that I will attract trouble,” Yadanar replied honestly.
“What kind of trouble could you attract?” Emma t**sed.
“I might embarrass you…”
“Sheng Ge is my friend and could be considered as my mentor. On his territory, even if you were to cause trouble, I’m sure he’d give me some face and go easy on you. Of course, that only applies if you don’t kill someone.”
“Good,” Yadanar nodded.
Around 7pm, Emma arrived at the theater. But, due to the fact that she was a surprise guest, Laszlo’s manager arranged for her to wait inside a special waiting room.
While Yadanar was in the bathroom, Emma said to the manager, “I’m afraid I need to ask you for a favor.”
“Oh Emma, you don’t need to be so polite. We are like family. Go ahead and tell me what you need,” Laszlo’s manager had a relatively high-pitched voice, like an exaggerated supporting actor in a Thai drama. He was extremely stylish, but his feminine persona did not effect his performance in the industry because he always handled matters smoothly and efficiently. This was one of the main reasons why Laszlo advanced steadily in his career.
Emma pulled the manager closer and whispered in his ear. After listening to Emma’s instruction, the manager did an ‘OK’ gesture.
“For you to actually ask for assistance in dealing with someone, that person must be horrible. Don’t worry, the pre-screening tonight will be spectacular.”
“But, will this have a negative impact on Sheng Ge?”
“Of course not,” the manager shook his hand as he looked at Emma, “This will happen before the pre-screening starts. Plus, the little nobody will end up being scolded by Sheng’s fans.”
“Thank you, Mr Luo.”
“Why are you being so polite? Our Sheng gained a whole heap of resources because of ‘Stupid’.”
It was obvious that Laszlo’s manager was a grateful person. He knew that Kaleidoscope had invested a lot of resources into ‘Stupid’, otherwise, the great results that followed wouldn’t have been possible.
Although Laszlo had won Best Actor three years in a row, he tried to keep a low profile, so just like Craig, he didn’t get many international opportunities. Craig was weird, so he didn’t care, but Laszlo strived for better opportunities and roles. Hence, he did not eliminate the possibility of working overseas.
And ‘Stupid’ opened him up to these possibilities.
“In that case, I’ll wait for the good news…”
A moment later, Yadanar stepped out of the bathroom to find Emma all alone in the waiting room.
“In a moment, you can head into the pre-screening first. Luo Ge has already arranged a special seat for you.”
Yadanar was still clueless as to what was happening, so she simply nodded her head, “Ok!”
7:40pm, the guests piled into the theater. Whether they were big shots or mere fans, they all had the right to enter. Of course, the invite in Yadanar’s hand was for VIPs only. So, when the staff saw it, they were extra accommodating towards her.
It didn’t take long before Yadanar located her seat. However, a moment later, someone else found their way to the same seat. As their eyes met, Yadanar’s face turned red in anger. The person that had arrived was Annie.
President Wang had already seated himself beside Yadanar, so he looked up at Annie and said, “Tell her to get up…”
As the enemies met, there was bound to be tension. But…this was not the right place to argue, so Yadanar decided to seek Annie for revenge after the event was over.
Annie never expected to see Yadanar at a place like this. As she remembered Yadanar’s helpless state the day before, she couldn’t help but laugh, “You sure are persistent. Who allowed you in here? Also, did you make a mistake? You are sitting in my seat.”
Yadanar responded with a cold stare as she stood up and pointed to the name on the seat, “Open your eyes and take a good look at whose seat this is.”
Annie looked down at the name and looked back at Yadanar with doubt. She then scanned the entire theater and realized there were no seats left. How could this be?
“Yadanar, what right do you have to be here? You’re just a lousy stunt double who has obviously stolen my seat as revenge. Get lost!”
Seeing the two women were beginning to argue, President Wang stood up and said, “This seat belongs to my partner. Are you at the wrong seat? Do you want me to call security?”
Yadanar laughed in response, “Go ahead.”
“Yadanar, don’t ignore what’s good for you!” After speaking, Annie gestured for the security and said to him, “This is my seat, but she’s stolen it.”
The security looked at the situation and immediately apologized, “Sorry, I’ll go confirm with the organizers.”
“Hurry,” Annie rushed. She didn’t want to continue standing in such an embarrassing way.
Meanwhile, President Wang directly tore Yadanar’s name off the seat to let Annie sit down.
Yadanar glared at Annie as she looked back at her arrogantly.
However, at this time, the security hurried back apologetically, “I’m sorry, but this is indeed Miss Chen’s seat. Please return the seat to her.”
Annie’s face turned pale.
“Then, what about my seat?”
“Tell the organizer to come see me,” she ordered.
“I’m sorry, our organizer told me that all the seats have been allocated to our guests and Miss Chen is a VIP guest. I don’t think you have the right to see our organizers.”
“What do you mean?” Annie p**ssured the man for an explanation.
“Miss, this is the pre-screening for the top actor, Laszlo’s, film. Everyone present is an important personality in film and television. Please excuse me for being direct, but who do you think you are?” the man asked straightforwardly.
“Fine. My identity might not be anything important. But, what about her?” Annie said as she pointed to Yadanar, “Is she anyone important?”
“Of course she is. She is here on behalf of Laszlo’s good friend, Emma. Since she is here on behalf of Emma, then she is naturally a special guest. If you don’t return the seat to Miss Chen right now, I will need to call security.”
Annie glared at Yadanar, but she had no choice but to get up out of her seat, “No wonder…I see you’ve caught yourself a big fish. But, if Emma is truly good to you, why isn’t she helping you clarify your scandal and why isn’t she helping you secure some opportunities?”
“Actually, this seat was originally Miss Annie’s, but after Miss Chen said that she’d attend, we gave the seat to her,” the security explained politely. “This shows how good Miss Miller treats Miss Chen.”
So…
…the seat originally belonged to Annie…
Yet, Emma stole the seat from her directly!
She was obviously getting revenge!
Emma was helping Yadanar get revenge.
Yadanar was also stunned by this realization. She never imagined that this was all a part of Emma’s plan. It turned out, this was Emma’s motive for attending the pre-screening.
“Then where should I sit?” Annie asked as she held back her anger, “You’re not going to make me sit on the floor, are you?”
“If you want to, you are welcome to do that. But, we do have standing platforms at the front and back of the theater. You can give them a try.”
“You guys have gone too far with your bullying!” Annie yelled.
“I’m sorry, but our organizers admit that they are bullying you,” the security smirked, “If Miss Annie can’t handle it, you are welcome to leave.”
