Chapter 128
Like before, Mamie always found petty issues that made them retake the scenes.
The director wanted to call it a day, but Mamie insisted on continuing
Agnes, in her down jacket, had to run after the car for miles. Her hair went from wet to dry, then back to soaking. But she stuck it out.
Justin filmed Agnes running with his phone and sent the video to Ivan, hoping for some help.
After watching it twice, Ivan immediately forwarded the video to Jared.
Jared was in a meeting with all the leaders and shareholders of the Tim Group.
Jared kept replaying the video on his phone, then suddenly stood up, slammed the table, and said, “Meeting’s over
Then he told his secretary Leo, “Leo, wrap up the meeting’s minutes and email them to me.”
With that, Jared left the meeting room.
The shareholders were flabbergasted.
Jared was a workaholic and had never left a meeting in progress, especially not one that was so important.
Leo was even more surprised. Standing next to Jared, he had seen the video Jared was watching. A little girl in a down jacket ran until she looked ready to pass out from the heat.
Jared’s face suddenly turned serious, and he clutched his phone tightly
About half an hour later, Jared showed up at Lakeside College.
At that moment, Agnes was on her 27th take.
Agnes knew Mamie was giving her a hard time, but it would affect the whole crew if she confronted Mamie.
Now, she could only wait for Mamie to stop making her life difficult.
But clearly, Mamie had no intention of doing so.
When Jared arrived, he saw the whole thing.
Agnes was flushed and showing signs of heatstroke.
Jared approached the director
The director called “cut” and then said, “Let’s take a break. Mamie, come here.”
Mamie stepped out of the car leisurely, fixing her hair. She still looked drop–dead gorgeous.
Meanwhile, Agnes was nearly fainting in her assistant’s arms.
Ava supported Agnes, asking her, “Agnes, are you okay? Shall we tell the director to stop for today? You’re going to need a hospital if you keep going like this.”
Agnes chugged a whole bottle of cold water.
She put up with Mamie’s torture because Mamie was only on set for three days.
