Laura pulled herself up. "I'm fine. Just a little dizzy," she said, shaking her head.
Nicole didn't think she was fine, so she reached out her hand to touch her forehead.
"Oh my, Laura, you're having a fever!"
Laura was surprised, then she felt her forehead too.
But because she had a fever and her body was also hot, she didn't feel any difference.
It was just that she was so dizzy and everything became blurry in her sight.
Nicole got anxious and wanted to call a doctor, but was stopped by Laura.
"Don't." She weakly stretched out her hand to stop Nicole. After thinking for a while, she said, "Help me ask Peter for a leave. Just tell him I won't be back to the set tonight. And talk to him in private. We can go to the hospital by ourselves."
Nicole was still worried. "But you're..."
"It's OK. It's just a cold. And I'm on my period. Don't worry, no big deal."
Nicole bit her lips and had to listen to Laura.
Nicole explained it to Peter in private. Peter was very considerate, but he was unhappy that Laura didn't tell him she wasn't in a good condition.
It made him the bad guy.
Nicole didn't want to waste time talking with him. Given his attitude towards Laura yesterday, it couldn't be more obvious why Laura didn't dare to tell him the truth.
Nicole rushed back and called the driver over. Without delay, she and Laura went to the hospital.
However, even if Nicole and Peter talked in private, people on the set still know that Laura went to the hospital.
It was embarrassing to let everyone know that she was on her period.
Therefore, what everyone basically knew was that Laura fell in the water and then was sent to the hospital.
It inevitably aroused some people's resentment.
Laura was indeed an A-list actress, so spoiled.
They bet the driver had to drive faster, or she might recover before they reached the hospital.
Because in the afternoon Lanna also had a scene in the water, but the difference was that it was a scene of bathing by the water.
She didn't need to do any moves, so it wasn't tiring at all. She only needed to sit inside.
But she had to stay in the water for a long time outdoors, so it could still be very cold.
Lanna, however, perfectly finished this scene. After it was done, she insisted on having more shots to choose the best one.
In contrast to Laura's mistakes in the morning, their performances were poles apart.
In an instant, Laura became a spoiled, nasty, and calculating girl in people's eyes.
Lanna, who didn't enjoy much fame in the industry, suddenly became an example of a professional actress.
When some people gossiped about that, they had to admit it was really unfair in the entertainment industry. Some actors had worked really hard for a dozen years, but they were easily overshadowed by those who had beautiful faces.
It was an era of external beauty.
Before long, people in the crew shared the same opinion that Laura didn't deserve her fame.
Within one day, another crew next to them also heard about Laura's bad reputation. Now she was notorious for putting on airs, bullying other actresses, and being spoiled.
Coincidentally, Victoria was working in the next crew, and it was also a period drama.
