In the ward.
Eliza finally regained consciousness.
She first saw Hailey and Leanne. However, Hailey was very busy. She kept making phone calls with
her back facing Eliza.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. It most probably has to be postponed to next month due to Eliza’s injury… If
you’re in a rush, you can switch to another artist. Or you can wait for Eliza…”
“You’ve finally woken up. I was scared to death. ” Leanne saw Eliza first. Her eyes lit up.
Hailey turned her head too. She hung up after speaking a few more sentences and looked at Eliza. She
sighed. “Your injury is really giving me a headache.”
“I’m sorry, Hailey, ” Eliza apologized weakly. “I most probably can’t join the production of The Belle. And
there are still two commercials and three events that I was scheduled to attend this month.”
“The people from the commercials and events called. One of them is more urgent, so I rejected it. We
have to pay the damages for the breach of contract as well. The others said they’re willing to wait for
you.” Hailey rubbed the middle of her brows. “The person we’ve truly let down is Director Cheever. He
was determined to make you famous and cast you as the female lead.”
Eliza closed her eyes. Being unable to participate in The Belle was quite a pity, but she did not regret it.
She was in a very bad mood yesterday when Jacob came and offended her. She had wanted to get rid
of him for a long time already.
“However, I’ve already asked the doctor. She said your injuries are not that serious and you can
manage to join the production after a month.
Director Cheever said he can film other scenes first. Nevertheless, after you return to the production,
even if you have to work overtime and stay up all night, you have to finish filming the rest of your
scenes within two months. During that period, there’ll be a lot of wire stunt scenes. You body… ”
“I can do it.” Eliza nodded.
Hailey was not happy. Instead, she frowned. “ Although you can join the production with your injury, it
still hasn’t recovered completely yet. If you go on the wire, it’ll affect the wound…”
“It’s okay, ” Eliza said, “Director Cheever is already being extremely accommodating by being willing to
wait for me. It’s my honor too. If I can’t even bear such small inconveniences, how can I live up to
Director Cheever’s expectations?”
Hailey sighed. A look of deep thought flashed across her eyes. “By the way, Eliza, be honest with me.
What’s going on… between you and Young Master Jewell? Why was he at your place? Also, I heard he
was the one who sent you here.”
“I don’t know why he went to my place either.” Eliza frowned. She said sarcastically, “But men are
always filled with dirty thoughts when they see pretty women.”
Leanne was stunned. “Oh my gosh, no wonder Young Master Jewell came to the filming set yesterday.
He even came to your dressing room. I thought he came to visit Cindy, but… Tsk, Young Master Jewell
is too much. His girlfriend was around, yet he was still openly…”
“Speak carefully.”
Hailey glared at Leanne. She did not feel happy. Instead, she had a mild headache. Eliza was the most
outstanding artist she had. She just hoped that Eliza would work hard to earn money. She did not hope
Eliza would be involved in any relationships, especially since Young Master Jewell was not someone
any ordinary people could offend.
“To be honest, if Young Master Jewell wasn’t going to get married and didn’t have an official girlfriend,
I’d be very happy if he wanted to pursue you. After all, Young Master Jewell has great authority. He can
allow you to reach greater heights. But… the public already knows that he’s about to marry Cindy. It’ll
be troublesome if you get involved with him. If news gets out, your reputation will be tarnished.”
Hailey said, “Moreover, I had a few interactions with Cindy before. I’m already one of the best
managers in the company. Even President Daley has to treat me with respect when he sees me. But
Cindy looks down on me just because she thinks she’s Young Master Jewell’s woman. Someone like
her is narrow-minded. If she finds out, she’ll stop at nothing to oppress you.”
“I understand everything you said. That’s why I’ve been rejecting Chester’s advances.” Eliza frowned. “
People like him just treat us as a past-time activity.”
“It’s good that you understand. I hope Young Master Jewell will give up soon, ” Hailey reminded her,
“Monte is the best example.”
Speaking of Monte, Eliza went silent.
Actually, she did not have much impression of Monte anymore. When she woke up, she found out that
the previous Eliza had committed suicide for Monte.
He was nothing but another scumbag.
