"Angel, there's a phone call for you."
In a luxurious makeup room, Angel sat in front of a vanity mirror, while makeup artists meticulously enhanced her beauty to its fullest potential.
Her manager, Adelaide, handed her the ringing phone. Angel took it and put it on speaker, "Go ahead."
"Miss Angel, I'm sorry, but I have some family matters to attend to, and I can't come in for work. I'd like to resign, and I don't need this month's salary. Also, I've found a new assistant for you, she's a friend of mine, and she'll be here soon..."
Before the woman could finish her sentence, Angel rolled her eyes and abruptly ended the call.
She couldn't remember how many assistants had already left her, but they never seemed to stay long. The constant turnover was getting on her nerves.
Her outburst didn't go unnoticed by Adelaide, who took the phone from Angel, unsure of what to say.
"What is she up to? I'm about to start filming a drama! How could she pull this on me now? Do I have time to train someone new from scratch?" Angel was furious, her chest heaving with frustration. "If another clumsy assistant shows up, they'll drive me crazy! How can I fully immerse myself in the filming process?"
As a senior figure in the industry, Angel had a princess-like temper and demanded perfection from those around her. She was strict and harsh, which made many people unable to stand her.
"Don't be angry. Get in a better mood first, as we're heading to Marsh Group for the interview soon." Adelaide reminded her. "I'll take care of training the new assistant and make sure she gets up to speed quickly."
With no other options, Angel refrained from further complaints. She closed her eyes, ready to have her eye makeup done.
She instructed the makeup artist, "Today's makeup should be more pure and innocent. Don't make it too flashy. I've read that novel, and the female lead is portrayed as a pure and passionate character."
"Of course, Angel." The makeup artist didn't dare be careless.
Angel learned that the second and third candidates were both students, with one having no filming experience and the other only having starred in a school drama with average results.
Although their votes were lower than hers, the final decision wasn't solely based on popularity.
