Power of Money novel Chapter 205

Jillian's words shocked everyone in the studio.

In this company, everyone knew who Jillian was.

She was the centre of the girl group that the company wanted to promote this year. There were a lot of resources invested in her and she had countless schedules to attend. There were invitations from numerous variety programs, dramas and movies. Evidently, she had become the star of her generation and she could do anything she wanted, no one would refuse her.

Of course, the thing that everyone knew about her was her most notorious temper.

No one could work with her for more than a week.

She had only gotten into the limelight for less than a year, but she had gone through almost 8 to 9 different managers, a different one every month. Every manager had either been scolded or hit by her.

Moreover, all the artists who had worked with her, whether they were seniors or juniors, had been criticised and ostracized secretly by her

before. Especially towards the other members in the girl group, she didn't care about them and she rejected any practice sessions or events with them. According to rumors, if it were not for the contract, Jillian would have gone solo long ago. She even found a rich man in the industry, who had told her that he would make her as popular as Jessica Chan. So in the company, except for the president Nolan Lewis, she did not care about anyone else.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Jillian chuckled. She pointed at the cameraman and said, "You, turn off the camera, throw away the memory card, put in a new one and let's do it from the top."

Then she pointed to the props. "Remove the stockings from the model's legs and throw them away. Get me 30 new ones, I will keep changing them with every shot, no matter whether it's a good take or not. I have mysophobia, and I won't use things that have been touched by others."

Finally, she looked down at the director sitting behind the monitor and said, "Read the script to me later. I've just finished filming another advertisement and I'm very tired now. I'm not in the mood to read the script. Let's do this quickly, and finish shooting. I have something else to do."

Everyone was not used to Jillian's working style.

Moreover, they were almost at the end of the filming, and the director was very satisfied with Helen, but there was no way out. Jillian was the most popular artist in the company now, and she had a backing from the rich man. He was just a worker. To him, nothing mattered more than finishing the shoot.

Then, the director sighed and threw the notebook on the table. He stood up and said to Helen, who was still in a daze, "Beauty, I'm sorry. Since Jillian wants this advertisement, there's nothing we can do. Why don't you..."

Before the director could finish his words, Helen had already snapped back to reality.

It was not the first time that she had encountered something like this.

During the filming, the client would arrange for another model to come in, and she would be pushed out.

They just wanted to earn some money, and they didn't earn much. Helen was used to this.

What's more, it was Jillian, who was wildly popular.

Nodding, Helen took off the stockings that were mid way up her legs. Then she stood up

and reluctantly walked towards the room next to her.

"Where are you going?" Jillian looked at the model in front of her carefully. Although her looks were just average, but she was a little jealous of those long and slender legs.

"I, I'm going to the room to change my clothes," Helen said lowly.

"There's no need. I've already thrown the clothes into the corridor. You can go out and pick them up." Jillian said calmly.

"Threw them into the corridor?" Helen was stunned. She looked at Jillian in confusion and asked, "Why? Why did you throw my clothes out?"

"Why? Haha, because this room belonged to me all along. You didn't get my permission and used my makeup room, and even left those ragged clothes inside. You should be lucky that I didn't burn them, and you're still asking for the reason? Do you believe that I'll get my manager to throw your clothes onto the road outside. If you can still stand here and ask, why don't you hurry out and get them!"

In the face of Jillian's rebuke, Helen sighed silently.

The makeup room in the studio was open for use, and there were sofas and closets for

models to use. It was based on a first come first serve basis, and it wasn't a private space that belonged to one person. Of course, people would not throw others' clothes out and claim the room.

However, over the years in the entertainment industry, Helen was used to the behaviour of these celebrities. To fight over a room or even a chair, it was usual and it was a common backhanded trick in the industry.

But in this industry, Helen knew that it was exactly as what Jillian had mentioned. She was just a nameless model, in front of a celebrity like her, even if she got slapped, she would not be able to retaliate. Let alone just getting her clothes thrown out.

"Alright, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'll go to the corridor to get my clothes. Sorry for disturbing you."

Helen lowered her head and apologized profusely. Then, she left the studio and walked out.

However, in order to shoot the stockings advertisement, she was only dressed in a loose shirt, her legs were exposed. When she walked to the door, Jason and Jenny stood up in a hurry. Jason took off his outer shirt and handed it to Jenny to help cover Helen. Then he walked out, arms bare.

At this time, in the corridor outside the filming studio.

People were walking back and forth.
