Besides, Yvonne was about to board the plane.
The filming crew had already finished shooting the scenes abroad. They should be returning home already.
Yvonne did not realize that she was sitting in the first-class cabin until they were about to depart.
No wonder the seats in her area looked so premium. She thought that maybe the seats in United States airlines were built differently, but soon realized that it was a first-class cabin.
Yvonne was shocked, "Why did you purchase such an expensive seat? That's a lot of money!"
She had taken the economic flight coming here.
Penney smiled, "Everything about you is different now. Jenkins has already gone public and admitted being in a relationship with you, so do you really think things will be the same as before?"
Although Jenkins did not announce anything about their marriage on Facebook, Yvonne was Jenkins' first and official girlfriend. It was already enough to change her status in the entertainment industry.
"But a first- class flight is really too expensive," Yvonne winced.
They had just spent a huge amount of money that she worked so hard to earn.
"You have to get used to this," Penney patted Yvonne's shoulder and chuckled, "Others will laugh at you if they find out you're taking an economy flight instead. That'll be detrimental to your image!"
Yvonne bit her lip.
Of course, she was aware of that.
It was an unspoken rule in the entertainment circle. A starlet would need to choose their clothes and meals widely. Otherwise, they would become the laughingstock of the century.
With that, Yvonne and Penney boarded the plane together.
The first-class cabin was indeed very comfortable. It was definitely worth the price.
"Yvonne, thanks to you, I finally know what success tastes like," Penney stared at Yvonne gratefully.
Yvonne smiled half-heartedly in response.
She suddenly felt sad.
She was aware that everything she received came with a price.
However, she quickly thought it through.
Since she had already made up her mind, she shouldn't regret her decisions anymore. After all, no one forced her to do this. She did it willingly, so why feel sad about it?
She should be focusing on working hard and seizing the opportunity to climb to the top instead.
Meanwhile, a woman with heavy makeup and her stout assistant boarded the plane. Yvonne and Penney did not notice their arrival. However, the woman saw Yvonne and quickly raised an eyebrow in surprise.
She gestured at Yvonne and whispered, "That... that's Yvonne, am I right? How can she afford to fly first-class?"
Rosalin Lautner never thought that an insignificant actress like Yvonne would get to sit in the same cabin as her.
Lillian Wood, Rosalin's assistant, shot a glance at Yvonne before muttering into Rosalin's ear, "Rosalin, that woman is rather remarkable!"
"What's so great about her? She's just putting on airs!" Rosalin sneered in disdain as they sat down in their seats.
Later that evening, the stewardess served them drinks.
Rosalin's jealousy grew more intense the more she thought of Yvonne's sudden success. Finally, she could not hold it in anymore and walked over to Yvonne's seat with her drink in her hand.
When she passed by Yvonne, she pretended to trip and intentionally spilled her drink on Yvonne. She then proceeded to apologize pretentiously, "Oh no, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
Once Yvonne looked up to greet her gaze, Rosalin gasped in fake astonishment, "Yvonne, it's you! Why are you sitting here? Since when did they let part-timers fly first-class?"
Yvonne narrowed her eyes at Rosalin, saying nothing.
With a flick of her wrist, she sneakily poured her glass of juice onto Rosalin's dress.
The juice immediately formed a stain on Rosalin's clothes.
"Oh no, I'm sorry. It was an accident. I'm really sorry," Yvonne flashed a vengeful grin at Rosalin.
Rosalin was beyond furious.
She jabbed a finger at Yvonne and hissed, "You... you did it on purpose."
Yvonne's grin widened as she replied, "So I purposely spilt my drink on your dress, when you accidentally did the same to me first? I'm surprised at such flawed logic."
"You...!" Rosalin was about to lose her temper, but she stopped herself when she remembered that they were in public.
