"Kate!" Jayla's anxious and caring voice echoed in her ears.
Kate's mind went blank... A buzzing echo filled her mind, and for a brief moment, she couldn't hear anything.
Juliana, on the other hand, was quite satisfied. She half-squinted her eyes, and her smile instantly transformed into an innocent one.
"Sorry, Miss Zamora, it was an accident. I hope you're not angry," Kate said.
An accident? Jayla's face turned livid, and she trembled all over. This scene wasn't even in the script.
Struggling to stand up, clutching her numb knees, Kate gazed at Juliana with burning anger in her eyes.
Step by step, she approached Juliana, the distance between them diminishing until they stood less than a meter apart. The standoff shocked everyone on set, and they were curious to see how Miss Zamora would respond-probably with silence, considering Juliana's influential background.
Juliana tightened her grip on the fan handle, and the motion of fanning ceased as she subconsciously took a step back, her voice tense. "What do you want to do? I've already apologized..."
"Smack!"
The sudden slap stunned Juliana and left the onlookers in disbelief, wondering if Kate wasn't afraid of losing her role.
It took Juliana a while to come to her senses. She covered her face and, on the verge of tears, asked her assistant, "Where's the mirror? Let me see my face!" Her assistant, with a shrill voice, exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, your face is so red!"
"That woman is so vicious. Your delicate face is swollen."
"Clearly, Kate, you are so calculating. You can't stand the fact that I took the leading role that should have been yours, can you?" Juliana indignantly accused, turning the scene into a confrontation between a noblewoman and her maidservant.
Looking disdainful, Kate retorted, "You? Jealous of you?"
Had she gone mad? The answer to who was more beautiful between Miss Chambers and Miss Zamora was undoubtedly the latter.
In terms of good looks, it should be Juliana envious of Kate instead.
Unabashed, Juliana even proposed to the director to expel Kate from the crew. "Mr. Collins, think about it. I cannot work with Kate. She's so malicious, I'm afraid," she assertively declared.
Mr. Collins, who had been called, hurried over clutching the script in his hand.
