    Studio City.


    As Alice arrived at the set, she noticed many people whispering among themselves while ncing at


    her. The look of envy in their eyes was like sharp knives, ready to dissect her to pieces at any moment.


    She frowned slightly, not thinking she had done anything to cause public outrage.


    Nearby, one of the girls could not help butment with a smirk, “So the rumors are true. There’s


    really something going on between her and Freddie King.”


    It turned out that Freddie King had arrived at the set that day, supposedly to visit Josh Kaur.


    “Maisie said Josh isn’t even here… he’s not who Mr. King is here for today.”


    “Oh! Why would a nice guy like Mr. King mingle with a devil like her?”


    “I’ve quietly messaged Sheryl. Let’s sit back and watch the show!”


    As the girls talked, they looked at a gloomy-faced Maisie beside them. “Maisie, you’re good friends with


    Sheryl. Has she said when she’ll being?”


    Maisie looked coldly toward Alice and said with a smirk, “Don’t ask me. Go ask a certain someone


    who’s really good at what she does…”


    It was time for Alice to get her makeup done, so she ignored them and promptly went into the dressing


    room.


    As the girls watched Alice vanish into the dressing room, one of them said to Maisie, “Look at that,


    what’s she so proud about… does she really think Mr. King is going to marry her?”


    Maisie chuckled and said to the girls, “Today, Sheryl’sing for a cameo role. You all just watch.


    Somebody’s going to get pped!”


    “Wow? Really? Alice is dead for sure!”


    The script for today’s shooting had Alice’s character facing off against a primordial celestial maiden.


    Her character hadmitted an offense, which caused the celestial maiden to be in a bad mood, so


    the two would fight.


    Initially, the director intended for the celestial maiden to be yed by their producer, who was a beauty


    herself. However, as Alice was having her makeup done, the makeup artist reminded her, “Alice, today


    the celestial maiden has been switched to Sheryl Lynn. You be careful.”


    Upon hearing the makeup artist’s reminder, Alice removed an exquisite jewelry box from within her bag


    and quietly put it into the makeup artist’s pocket.


    “Linda, thanks for helping me snoop for info. Here’s a little gift from my heart. Hope you like it…”


    Linda looked at the logo on the jewelry box, then peered at their surroundings before whispering,


    “Alice, what are you doing? This is making me feel a bit awkward.”


    “It’s a gift from the sponsors, no money spent. Just take it, sis. No need to worry!” Alice chuckled.


    Everyone in the business knew that when someone sold you a piece of info, you must show gratitude


    with a respectable gift.


    Although Linda’s info today was not as precious as the jewelry, she had shown her cheerful willingness


    to sell her info to Alice at any


    time.


    So by Alice showing her gratitude, it meant that Linda could continue selling info to her in the future.


    “Then… I’ll keep it for now. I’ll tell you when I have more gossip.” Linda smiled contentedly.


    Alice nodded and then let Linda do her styling.


    When her styling was done, Josh Kaur arrived.


    Last night, this guy had been sleepless the whole night due to excitement over his in-game rank rising,


    which caused unusually heavy dark circles around his eyes. Upon entering the dressing room, he


    caught hold of Freddie, demanding thetter’spany…


    Alice had no time to greet him anyway, so she went straight to the director to discuss the scene.


    When the director saw her styling, he raised an eyebrow. “Alice, your makeup today is a bit too light,


    isn’t it? You’re supposed to provoke the celestial maiden.”


    “Well, director, haven’t you said that this female second’s viinousness isn’t expressed through


    makeup but through acting

    skills?” She didn’t like a heavy makeup look, as it would make her look overly tawdry.


    The director nodded, looked toward Sheryl Lynn, who had attracted a crowd around her, and asked


    Linda, “How do you think Alice’s makeup will do when she’s partnered with Sheryl?”


    Linda had received benefits from Alice, so she was naturally on Alice’s side. “Director, when acting in


    front of Sheryl, Alice shouldn’t have too bright a makeup.”


    “Mhm, you’re right too. Go help Sheryl prepare. I’ll re hea rse Alice’s parts with her.” As he said so, he


    let Alice stand under the blooming tree.
