A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 74

"It's nothing." Julia shook her head, knowing that Lisa would never leave her alone. She didn't expect her to be so cruel. It was as if she didn't even care about the play. She just wanted to retaliate against Julia.

Even though Julia was well-tempered, she was getting a little angry.

"This is outrageous! How could she do this?" Everyone else could see that Lisa had slapped her on purpose. Since Julia was an outcast and Lisa was the female lead, nobody decided to help Julia. They just watched what happened.

As Julia's assistant, Abby couldn't stand seeing Julia get bullied. Just as she was about to confront Lisa, Julia grabbed her.

"Don't go." Although she was very upset, Julia knew that it was not the right time to get angry.

"But Julia, they..." Abby stammered, glowering with anger.

"I'm fine, really." Julia forced a smile on her face. As she was about to fix her make-up, the director called for her again. She quickly put her things down and rushed to the set.

With a gloating look on her face, Lisa mocked, "Oh my God! Your face is swollen. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Julia curtly replied, feeling a little bit of anger.

Her face was swollen because of Lisa's slap and now the latter had the audacity to pretend that she cared about her.

"I'm really sorry. I think I hit you so hard just now. I'll try to restrain myself later," Lisa replied with a big smile.

"That's enough. Stop talking. Just get ready." Director Guo had a stern look on his face. Julia had actually acted every well, but Lisa had ruined the scene. Now that they were about to shoot again, it was a pity that Julia wasn't in good shape.

He also knew what happened this morning and was aware that Lisa did it on purpose. But because of her background, he refrained from saying anything that would offend her.

"Action!"

No matter how upset Julia was, she would continue to concentrate on doing a good job. After slapping Julia again, Lisa kept coming up with the same excuse to stop the shooting.

"Director, I don't think I am good at this scene. How about you find someone to demonstrate it for me? I just can't do it." Lisa innocently smiled at the director.

However, Director Guo was very upset and annoyed. To his surprise, Julia was a very dedicated actress who continued to stand strong. No matter how many times she had gotten slapped, she was still devoted to the play and gave it her best.

Every time he thought they would succeed, something unexpected would happen and Lisa would ask if they could stop.

Generally speaking, he shouldn't step in the fight between the two actresses. However, it was affecting the progress of his shooting and he had no other choice but to take action.

He raised his eyebrows at Lisa and raised his voice. "Lisa, stop fooling around. You just won the Best Actress Award. You are the leading actress and now you are telling me that you can't do it? Are you kidding me?"
