"Oh my god. Is that Mr. Tremaine? He is really handsome."
"It must be him. If we got the job, we would be able to see him every day."
"Just thinking about being able to see him everyday gets my blood pumping."
Yesseca had a different opinion.
She still remembered the time when she had asked this man to help Lothar. He had been so ruthless and cold.
Yesseca suddenly had the urge to leave.
She would rather not work as a maid for such a cold and heartless man.
The steward said again. "Everybody, be quiet!"
Everyone stopped the commotion and went silent immediately.
The steward said, "To the ten of you who were selected, gather at this same spot at 9 o'clock this Sunday morning. Three among you will be picked so make sure you come prepared. Remember to bring all your documents next time!"
The steward left after giving the instructions.
Yesseca walked outside and saw that Sierra was still waiting for her.
"How is it, Yesseca? Did you get the job?" Sierra asked.
"I still have to wait for another test."
"Then you must try your best." Despite not getting picked herself, Sierra sincerely hoped that Yesseca would be chosen for the job.
Yesseca shook her head. "I won't be coming anymore."
Sierra was stunned. "Why? Do you know what a great opportunity it is? There are so many women fighting for this job. If I has passed, I would definitely try my best to get picked."
Yesseca smiled politely. "I just don't want to come."
She didn't like cold hearted and savage men.
"100,000 per month!" Sierra cried out.
Yesseca blinked her eyes playfully. "Lothar is a superstar. We're not short on money."
Sierra was lost for words.
She had no idea what else to say. She had never heard of Yesseca's older brother so how could he be famous? And even if she was telling the truth, why would a star live in such a small house?
"If you really don't want to go then forget it." Sierra sighed.
Just like when they came, Yesseca and Sierra took a taxi back.
When they were on the way, the taxi drove by a group of people shooting a film.
Yesseca immediately said, "Sierra, there are people filming. Why don't we take a look? My brother is an actor too. I want to see how they do it."
Sierra had never seen it too so she agreed immediately.
Both of them got out of the taxi.
This was a traditional costume drama and everyone was wearing thick traditional clothing.
"Action!" As a director gave the signal, a woman and a man walked to the middle.
"You traitor, how dare you betray him!" The woman began to slap the man in the face.
The slaps were real, and with each slap his face turned redder.
Yesseca suddenly felt a twist in her stomach.
With the layers of traditional costume, it was hard to tell clearly, but the man who was getting slapped looked somewhat like Lothar.
A minute later, the scene was over.
The woman was showered with praises, while the man was left alone to stroke his cherry red cheeks.
"Let's go. There's nothing really nice to see here," Sierra said to Yesseca.
Yesseca shook her head. "Hold on."
With that, she squeezed her way in. She witnessed the man who had been beaten walking up to the director. He said respectfully, "Director, what do you think of my scene just now? Can I have more screen time?"
Yesseca was shocked.
It was her brother's voice.
The director took a quick glance at Lothar. "Go away. It's good enough that you're getting that scene. What else do you want?"
