Backstage, Ma personally poured water for Estelle “E, you’re amazing, and I admire you so
much! Come act with me, and I’ll make sure you be a big star”

Estelle, who had already changed back into her own clothes and was organizing the actors‘ wardrobe
for the afternoon, turned around andughed, “Nah, I’ve never thought about being an actor”
It’s not toote to think about it now!” Ma followed behind Estelle, constantly trying to persuade
her, “Don’t underestimate me as an assistant director. I have quite a widework, in the circle I
guarantee that I can make you a big star within a year! Even if you don’t be as famous as Ms.
Yvonne, you’ll definitely be on par with Hattie
Estelle remained unmoved, “Stop trying to persuade me, I only like designing drafts, and have no
interest in acting at alll‘
“Give it some more thought! Seriously, imagine if you became a big star – everywhere you go, people
would fawn over you, there’d be fans everywhere, and you’d have as much money as you want
Opportunities like this don’te easily for most people.”
Estelle frowned, “If you keep nagging, don’t expect me to help you next time!”
Ma immediately shut up
You promised earlier that if I helped you, you wouldn’t pester me to be Nte’s assistant anymore!
Estelle said, shoving thepleted registration form into his hand, I’m done with my work, so don’t
bother me!”
“Ah, you youngdy! Ma watched Estelle walk away without even looking back, unable to get
angry.
After Estelle left, Abbot, a staff member from the drama department, approached Ma and spoke
quietly. “When we were removing the cushion from the second floor earlier, we found these underneath‘
Abbot opened his hand, revealing several sharp nails resting on his palm, their tips glistening coldly.
Ma’s expression underwent a dramatic change. Estelle had jumped from the second floor, and
someone had deliberately ced the nails beneath the cushion. It was evident that this was an attempt
to harm her!
Despite Estelle’s seemingly unharmed appearance, Ma couldn’t shake off his anger. He had
encountered many actors resorting to such disgraceful tactics in the past, and he had grown
ustomed to such incidents. However, the idea of someone trying to hurt Estelle still fueled his fury
Was it Nte?
Or someone else?
Ma said coldly. Keep quiet about this for now, and get a few more people to keep an eye on
Nte.”
“Yes, sir Abbot replied and left.
Estelle sat on hertle stool, drawing her design drafts for a while. Nte had been filming all
afternoon and hadn’te to bother her again.
Just as the workday wasing to an end, Craig came over and handed her a bowl of washed
cherries, “Mr. Ma bought these, and asked me to bring them to you.”
Estelle epted them, Thank him for me!”
Craig sat beside her chuckling. “I’ve worked with Mr. Ma a few times too, and he’s got a pretty bad
temper. He’s been in the industry for a long time, and he’s quite experienced. This is the first time I’ve
seen him trying to butter up a crew member like this!”
Anyone who had been working in this industry for a long time would be slick, and even be a
bootlicker Only by doing so could they survive in such an environment.
This was especially true for assistant directors Ike Ma, who yed a mediating role
It was quite rare for Ma to treat Estelle, a mere assistant, so well
Estelle took a bite of the cherries and nodded, “Very sweet!”
Craig asked. Did Ntee to bother you?”
Estelle shook her head, “Nope!”
“She’s probably too busy to worry about you. They had to shool one scene over a dozen times, and Mr.
Mayfield was nearly driven mad by her,” Craig sneered. Theard that Nte even asked Mr Mayfield to
add more scenes for her, and he got so fed up that he threw the script and didn’t want to film anymore!”
Why does Mr Mayfield put up with her then?” Estelle asked.
“He cant afford to offend her powerful backers, can hel”
Who’s that powerful backer of hers? Estelle asked curiously.
