Chapter 352
“End this matter here?” Melody looked surprised, and anger welled up in her heart. Ordinary people who were bullied to this extent would have long wanted to suppress the other party to death, but Zara had no intention of resisting at all. More than being angry at the director and Yana’s behavior, Melody was infuriated by Zara’s cowardice, as if she had lost all sense of dignity.
Zara clenched her fists and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Yes, that’s it. I’m fine now. The filming time is only three months. I just have to survive these three months.”
Melody said, “But…”
Zara interrupted her and said, “Melody, the entertainment industry isn’t as simple as you think. Yana had a backer. Her father was the big boss of a listed company, and the company seemed to be in a cooperative relationship with the Swanson Group. Moreover, Mr. Swanson was also here. Out of
consideration for the company’s interests, he would definitely help Yana. We can’t compete with that. Even if we win this time, we can’t do anything to her. But as long as we endure it, nothing will happen.”
Melody moved her lips, but she could not say a word. She looked at Zara and suddenly thought of herself in her previous life. In her previous life, she also believed in a saying: Endure for a while and everything will be fine. In the face of all the injustice, she had never thought of fighting for the benefits that should belong to her. Hence, she ended up dying a tragic death.
As for Zara, Melody really wanted to fight for justice for Zara, but with Zara’s attitude, she did not dare to say anything else.
After all, Zara was the victim of this incident. The victim herself wanted to stop there. Melody didn’t have the right to continue fighting against Yana and the others. The only person who could really help Zara was herself.
Moreover, Melody wasn’t sure if Ken would stand on the company’s side or hers. After all, Yana’s ability to earn money was much stronger than Zara’s.
Melody clenched her fists and finally let go.
Seeing this, Zara smiled gratefully at her and turned to walk toward the director and Yana. She lowered her head to Yana in front of everyone’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Yana. It’s all my fault. I’ve caused trouble for the crew. I hope you can forgive me.”
When Melody heard Zara’s apology, she couldn’t take it anymore and walked to the corner of the classroom. She thought, ‘Out of sight, out of mind.
At this moment, Mason called.
Melody lowered her voice and answered the call. “Hello? Mr. Taylor?”
“Miss Fox!” Mason’s voice was filled with excitement. “I ate the medicine you gave me today. During my lunch break, my palpitations and temporary blindness never appeared again. Where are you now? My wife and I want to thank you in person!”
“I’m currently…” Melody hesitantly reported the location.
Just as she was about to ask Mason to arrange another place, she heard Mason say, “Coincidentally, we live nearby. We’ll come over immediately. Ten minutes. We’ll be there in ten minutes!”
Mason hung up before Melody could reply.
At the same time, Zara had also finished apologizing.
Yana sneered, and she subconsciously wanted to ridicule Zara. However, she immediately remembered that Ken was still at the scene, so she pretended to be generous and said, “It’s good that you know your mistake. Let’s forget about this matter. We’ll still be good friends in the future.”
When Zara heard the word “good friends,” she clenched her fists. However, he let go after a while. She resigned herself to her fate. After all, she lacked both the ability and the background that Yana had.
However, in the next moment, Yana said, “However, I can forgive you. I don’t know about the rest of the crew… You’ve delayed too much of our filming time. Moreover, it was the same yesterday. You actually ended filming early because the weather was too hot, causing our crew to seriously delay the filming process. Although the rest of the crew did not say these things, they would more or less have objections in their hearts. Coincidentally, the producer and Mr. Swanson are both here today. Take this opportunity to apologize to the entire production team.”
“What did you say?” Zara looked at Yana in disbelief. Yana was the one who was seriously delaying the filming process because of personal reasons.
Yana said with a faint smile, “What? You don’t want to apologize? Zara, this is your fault. Mr. Swanson and the producer are both here, but you’re still unwilling to admit your mistake. Isn’t this a little too much?”
After Yana finished speaking righteously, she glanced sideways at Ken, hoping that Ken could help her chase Zara out of the production team. In that case, the movie with two female leads might very well be changed to her alone, without anyone else taking a piece of her pie.
However, when Yana looked up at Ken, Ken did not pay attention to her at all. His gaze was focused on a corner of the classroom.
Yana wondered, ‘What is there to see in the corner?’ She subconsciously followed Ken’s gaze and saw Melody putting her phone in her pocket. It was obvious that she had just finished a call.
Yana thought, ‘Why is Ken looking at that ugly woman?’ Yana frowned slightly. She recalled that Jonathan had reported to her that an extremely ugly woman had once gone to the market with Ken. ‘Could that woman be this ugly woman in front of me?’
Just as Yana was guessing, the producer said sternly, “Zara, I haven’t been around for a few days, and this is how you act? If it weren’t for Yana, I wouldn’t have known about this. The company gave you such a good resource. It’s fine if you don’t cherish it, but you even have such an attitude. If you don’t apologize, get out of the production team immediately. There are many people who want to take on this role. You’re not the only one who can take on this role.”
Upon hearing this, Yana could not care less about why Ken was staring at an ugly woman. She pretended to hold Zara’s hand sympathetically. “Zara, hurry up and apologize. It won’t be good if the producer really gets angry and replaces you.”
Zara’s face was pale, her hands clenched into tight fists, the knuckles turning white. She had brought Melody in without informing the director. This was indeed her fault. She could tolerate it.
However, Yana was the one who delayed filming for a day. Yana was now making things up out of nothing. She was trying to use this opportunity to push Zara away from the production team.
Zara was weak, but she was not stupid. She knew that even if she admitted it for Yana, she would not have a good ending.
Thinking of this, she raised her head. For the first time, she had the courage to look straight at Ken. “Mr. Swanson, I didn’t delay anyone’s filming. Please believe me!” She knew that the most important person here was not the producer, but Ken.
When Melody heard that Zara did not acknowledge the delay in filming, her eyes lit up in surprise. Zara finally knew how to resist.
Ken took a deep look at Zara. After a while, his gaze swept across the entire scene. He asked in a low voice, “There are so many people in the production team. Someone must know who’s lying. Tell me. Did she delay everyone’s filming yesterday?”
As soon as Ken finished speaking, the crew subconsciously looked at the gazes of the people around them.
