A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 73

"But I do care about your feelings." Jean sneered at her sister. "Julia, Terence is mine. Just wait and see. I'll make you regret it!"

"Whatever." Julia rolled her eyes and pretended that she didn't care. Although she wanted to forget Terence, it was really difficult.

She felt uncomfortable whenever his name was mentioned.

Julia quietly walked towards a nearby pavilion to sit and forced herself to calm down. The most important thing right now was to perform well. She didn't need to think about anything else, she couldn't right now.

"Coffee, Julia?" Consuela had been busy for the past few days, so Abby, her assistant, was the one taking care of her.

On the top of that, she had to shoot several scenes late at night and early in the morning. As a result, Julia barely had any energy left. She asked Abby to buy her a few cups of coffee to refresh herself.

"Thank you." Julia smiled, and gestured to the seat next to her. "Abby, please sit down. It's so hot today."

"Don't be so formal with me, Julia." Abby grinned at her. "I'm just doing my job as your assistant."

"Please sit," Julia insisted lightly. She wasn't too talkative today because she wasn't in the mood.

"By the way, Julia," Abby remarked politely, "I cooked some green bean soup for you. It's good to eat it during a hot day. You should have some."

"Just leave it here. I'll eat later," Julia said, giving Abby a gentle nod.

After Julia took a few sips of coffee, the director called her. She quickly placed her cup down and hurried to the set.

"Action!" the director announced.

Lisa rushed up and aggressively looked at Julia. "It was you. It was you, right?

You drugged Greg's drink on purpose so that he would sleep with you. Why did you do that?"

Julia looked at Lisa the same way she had done when she had seen Jean three years ago.

When the incident happened, Jean had confronted her and asked her why she did it.

With a sneer, she held the newspaper and showed it to Lisa. "See? The whole world knows that I'm going to marry Greg. You can't change that fact anymore. Don't you feel happy for me?"

"I'm sorry, Director Guo." Julia quickly apologized. She didn't say that she was dumbfounded from the slap. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. Let's do it again."

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Lisa's smug smile.

"Action!" the director called out again.

Everything went smoothly at the very beginning. Julia anticipated Lisa's slap. Covering her face, she looked up and asked, "How dare you to slap me!

Since we were kids, you always took away my things, from toys to beautiful dresses. But I will not give in this time. I won't let you take Greg away from me!"

It was supposed to be Lisa's turn to say her lines, but a wicked grin flashed across her face. She stood still and then apologized to the director, "I'm sorry. I forgot my lines."

"It doesn't matter. You two looked great just now. Lisa, read your lines. Somebody, please fix Julia's make-up." The director gave his instructions methodically.

Julia knew that Lisa did it on purpose, but because of her background, Director Guo didn't blame her.

"Are you okay, Julia?" Abby stood beside her, staring at her cheek. She wondered why Lisa slapped her so hard that Julia's make-up got ruined.
