Chapter 793: Be Smart
Chapter 793: Be Smart
At night, Stella isn't sure what brings Pehry here, so she doesn't tell her agent about it. Later Mellie learns that Pehry has come to the hotel from news online.
In just a few days, they have been reported to be seen at the same hotel twice. It has caused heated discussions among netizens. Mellie, surprised, hurries to the dressing room to ask Stella what has happened.
"Did Mr. Pehry go to see you yesterday?"
Stella is putting on her makeup, preparing for the show later. She nods and says, "Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"He didn't stay long before he left, and it was already very late." Stella makes some excuses because she doesn't want Mellie to know too much.
She has already thought about it last night. Pehry holds an ambiguous attitude towards her and others don't know about their relationship. In this way, if she doesn't deny anything and leads them to think that Pehry likes her. The company, the agent and other people may treat her better for him.
Mellie doesn't ask more. After Stella's makeup is done, she then lets the makeup artist go outside and asks Stella, "Did you do that last night?"
Stella immediately understands her meaning and recalls Pehry's disdainful gaze last night. She looks down to hide her frustration in the eyes and answers in a happy tone, "Of course, what else could we do?"
"Did you meet after you called me?"
"Yes, after a while he came and I was almost asleep at that time." Stella doesn't want her to ask further and says ambiguously, "He is too bad. I have told him that I'm going to have a recording tomorrow, but he didn't let me rest early."
Hearing it, Mellie no longer asks but instructs, "It's not easy to have such an opportunity. You have to seize it."
Stella smiles and gives her a reassuring look, "I know."
The recording of the show gets started very quickly. In the past, Stella always shared a dressing room with others. At her lowest, she even had to put on her own makeup on her own. But now, she not only has a private dressing room, but also be looked at in a completely different way by others.
She doesn't care what other people think of her. Since Pehry is also single, she doesn't need to feel embarrassed. Actually, there are plenty of women in the entertainment industry who have affairs with the men who are married. In comparison, she is better than they are.
This time, Stella records with a female actress named Kara Baker who has been chosen as a regular cast member long ago. Kara was originally a singer. Later on, she put on a TV drama and shot to fame. She has been offered successive product endorsements and invited to many programs, so she guarantees the ratings of the show.
But Stella receives the invitation after the scandal between Pehry and her. When they meet in the studio, both of them look unnatural.
Thanks to some friends, Kara has drunk with Pehry several times in the Red Club. Although they didn't talk that much, he at least has left a deep impression on her.
Pehry is a womanizer who is always surrounded by young and beautiful celebrities on the A list. However, he has never really fallen in love with anyone. Therefore, even though all women want to get
him, an eligible bachelor, they don't have much confidence in taming him.
She doesn't expect Stella, an unknown star, should have a scandal with him.
Apart from being shocked, Kara also feels regretful and jealous. So when she sees Stella, she unconsciously sneers, "Are you Stella? This is the first time I've seen you, right?"
Stella is preparing for the program to start soon. When she hears the voice, she turns around and finds an incomparably exquisite face. It is Kara. Although Kara is smiling at her, obviously Kara is mocking her for not having any experience or program invitations.
Stella replies, smiling, "Kara, you are probably too out of it. We have been on the same crew before."
"Really?" Kara has only filmed one drama but she can't recall Stella at all. "You are not a main character, right? Otherwise I won't have no impression on you," Kara adds.
The smile on Stella's face freezes and she says, "Just a cameo role. No wonder you don't remember."
"Yeah. Don't be angry. There are so many people on a crew. I definitely can't remember them all."
"I know." Stella smiles and turns her head. She sits straight on the sofa in the middle of the studio. "We will have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future," Stella says with an air of arrogance.
This time, Kara's smile turns stiff.
"Doesn't she just hoop up with Pehry? She should turn her nose at me and want to work with me. Does she even want to surpass me?' Kara thinks in her heart.
They both wear friendly smiles on their faces, but in their hearts, they don't like each other.
Stella is calm and is not afraid of anyone now. Because of Pehry, no one dares to make things difficult for her.
Instead, Stella's calm and arrogance make Kara annoyed and she begins to pick apart everything during the recording. Even the program director can't bear it and interrupts the recording several times.
The program lasts nearly five hours before it ends. Everyone is tired out after it. When Kara returns to the lounge, she kicks off her shoes and says furiously, "Stella is a real bitch. You see her arrogant look just now. She dares to be so arrogant since she is just nobody now!"
The agent hurriedly closes the door of the lounge and whispers, "Okay. Enough of this. If someone hears your words and makes up something on the internet, you will be in trouble again."
Originally, there is a news about her being a poser. If her words are exposed on the internet, she will screw up.
In the entertainment industry, apart from matters of principle, there are two redlines: political stance and being a diva.
In the hearts of netizens, it is intolerable for celebrities to act like a diva because they have earned so much money. Once a celebrity does, he will be denounced forever no matter how long it passes.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant the artist is, he will always be polite and humble in front of the camera. Some people who are simple-minded or straightforward are often misunderstood by netizens because of their careless behaviors in front of the camera.
And Kara is that kind of person who needs to be reminded of her behaviors and words.
At the thought of Stella's complacent appearance, Kara is furious. She looks at her gorgeous face in the mirror and says indignantly, "What does she have? Pehry actually likes her rather than me?"
Stella is no longer a newbie. If Pehry has a taste for someone innocent and naïve, he can find an outsider. Why does he have to choose Stella, an unknown star?
Her agent is also puzzled and can only guess that Pehry suddenly changes his taste. "Don't think too much about it. He might change to a new one at any time. In a few days, I'll ask someone for help to see if you can have a meal with Pehry. Smarten up."
Hearing this, Kara calms down a little and nods, "Okay, please."
