"Tell me what's going on." James looked at the scene angrily.
This was a film crew, his film crew.
Now, there was actually a fight in his crew.
And it was two women.
Portia had thought about it when she made the move.
She would take revenge on Aulisa even if she went to the police station.
"This woman is crazy. She hit me for no reason. Call the police, call the police … She hurt me. I want an injury report." Aulisa roared hysterically. "I'm an actress. This woman broke into the crew and hurt me."
James looked at Portia. "Miss, you'd better explain yourself. Otherwise, I'll have to call the police."
"It's this b * tch. She hired a swindler to trick me here. She used Mr. James' name to trick me," Portia said.
James was stunned. "You're Miss Portia?"
Portia was a little dazed. She suddenly raised her head and looked at James.
"Mr. James … You … You know me?"
"She didn't hire a swindler. I called you before."
Portia felt like the whole world was turning upside down.
What did she just do?
What did she do?
God, he had ruined everything.
What would Mr. James think?
Would he think that she was crazy?
This was a chance similar to winning the lottery.
She was completely ruined now.
"Bolton, bring Script No. 012 over and show it to Miss Portia," James said. "Miss Portia, this role has a few minutes of scenes. It'll take about three days to shoot. You'd better plan your time well."
"Huh? What? Mr. James … I … "
"What? Is there a problem? "James asked.
"Don't … don't you need an audition?"
James looked at Portia, thought for a moment, and said, "I think your image is good and suitable for this role. It's that simple. Okay, you can go back and study the script after it's here. I hope you can get into the right state on the day of filming. I don't have much time."
With that, James turned and left.
But after a few steps, James looked at Aulisa again. "Miss, since you're in my crew, I don't want any scandals to spread about you before the movie is released. Otherwise, I don't mind making you disappear from Hollywood forever."
Aulisa was dumbfounded. Portia was equally dumbfounded.
They didn't expect their identities to be transferred so suddenly.
Portia had actually gotten an important role.
Don't underestimate a character with only a few minutes of screen time.
In any movie, he could be considered one of the main characters.
After all, Aulisa's movie roles from last year to this year didn't even have as many lines and scenes as Portia's.
How was this possible?
Did Portia know Mr. James?
But Mr. James clearly didn't know Portia.
And Portia didn't know Mr. James.
James even called her himself.
When Portia was asked to come to the studio, she was stunned.
Portia still thought she was lying.
They clearly didn't know each other, so why would James call Portia?
And he would even give her such an important role.
At this moment, Aulisa felt extremely jealous.
Why? Based on what?
Why wasn't this role his?
He had more experience performing than her.
Furthermore, he could do anything that Portia couldn't or wasn't willing to do.
But very quickly, Aulisa controlled her emotions.
She forced a smile at Portia.
She hoped that Portia could sense her kindness.
Unfortunately, Portia left with the assistant director without turning back.
From afar, Aulisa saw the assistant director hand a script to Portia.
One had to know that Aulisa's own script was just a few pieces of printed paper bound together.
But Portia actually had a script.
This made her so jealous that she couldn't control herself.
Why? How was she inferior to her?
She worked harder than her, was prettier than her.
Had better taste than her, was more fashionable than her, and had better acting skills than her.
Apart from being more educated than her, what else did she have that was better than her?
Why did Mr. James call her?
He invited her to play an important role in a movie.
But she didn't even have a chance?
At the same time, Portia felt like she was dreaming.
It was all too surreal.
Portia still didn't feel real.
Portia used the afternoon to calm down.
At this moment, Portia began to wonder why James would give her a role.
And he obviously didn't know her.
But after thinking about it, Portia couldn't figure it out.
Why was this happening?
Was it because he coveted her beauty?
Portia didn't doubt the unspoken rules of Hollywood.
But James didn't know her at all.
There was no reason for him to covet her beauty.
Moreover, when James had seen her, she'd even fought with Alisa.
At that time, Portia knew how pathetic she was.
James clearly didn't have any desire for her.
But he still gave her the script.
…
"Portia, didn't I give you two days off? You don't need to work today, "Chen Zhao said.
Portia's mental state was clearly different today.
"I need to work now," Portia said. "I need to support myself."
Chen Zhao generously gave her two days off.
But Chen Zhao also maintained the good capitalist tradition — stingy.
Vacation was fine, but paid leave was out of the question.
It was just as Portia had said.
Portia needed money now.
Of course, it was mainly because she wanted to show off in front of Chen Zhao these few days.
She also wanted to borrow some money from Chen Zhao.
But in her words, it wasn't borrowing money. It was an advance on her salary.
Actually, Portia felt that working for Chen Zhao was really easy.
Apart from the high salary, she had more freedom in her time.
Her work was also very easy.
She would receive and forward some documents and answer some calls.
She would also report some things to Chen Zhao.
Occasionally, she would go on a business trip with Chen Zhao for a few days and play around.
Was there anything more perfect than this job?
She couldn't shine like a Hollywood star.
"If that's the case, help me go to Mountain Town. I have a villa there that's being rebuilt. Help me check the progress."
Of course, as Chen Zhao's employer, Portia didn't just have to check the progress.
She also had to check the account books and see if there were any low-quality materials.
Chen Zhao was friends with Felwood Cisco. He'd also attended Gerlyn's birthday party.
But business was business. Plus, it was where Chen Zhao's family lived.
