Chapter 39
On Saturday, Lila held the script, meticulously marking key plot points and matching them with the
corresponding actors.
"Lila," Samuel called out.
Summer was around the corner, and the weather had turned quite hot.
She turned around, her bangs damp with sweat, yet her eyes sparkled like a clear mountain spring.
Samuel's thoughts faltered for a moment after meeting those beautiful eyes.
"Lila, you've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but have you ever considered debuting
yourself?"
With her looks, she wouldn't even need any talent. Standing there with her pretty face would attract countless
admirers willing to pay for her.
"Hmm?" Lila was momentarily taken aback, her gaze now filled with confusion.
Samuel snapped back to reality and chuckled. "Anyway, we have a break tomorrow. The following two months
will be busy, and there probably won't be much tto rest in between. Bring a few more outfits hand take
a good day off.

"By the way, during the official shooting, the teacher will cover and then
guide us. It's a great opportunity for learning."
She nodded, not giving much thought to Samuel's earlier question.
After lunch, Samuel let her go back.
Lila thought momentarily and then decided not to return to the city. Instead, she went to visit Jamie and Teddy.
"Lila, what's going on?" Jamie looked puzzled.
His gaze fell on the six men behind her, all dressed in work uniforms. They were moving around ten large boxes
and placing them behind Lila.
"Those boxes are sdrinks | bought. Please call over the other actors and staff from the crew to help take
some, and make sure to deliver sto the seniors personally. There's plenty, so it's fine if everyone takes a bit
more. If it's not enough, | can send more over later."
This was their first ton set, and they hoped to leave a good impression by treating the entire crew to drinks.
Even if they didn't have another opportunity to collaborate after filming, during this time, the staff and those
seniors would likely look after them a bit more when issues arose.
Jamie was taken aback. She was usually quiet, and though she felt deeply moved at that moment, she didn't
know what words to use to express her appreciation.
"Lila, we can pay for it ourselves..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Teddy rushed over, excitedly grabbing Lila's hand. "Lila, from today on,
you're my real sister!"
Jamie was left speechless. She was so done with Teddy!
Darcy strutted in high heels, arrogantly kicking one of the boxes beside her. "Looks like you've really latched
onto a rich benefactor. Treating the whole crew?
"But hey, you crawled out of the slums. You probably wouldn't want to spend much even with a benefactor,
right? What kind of cheap stuff did you buy?"
The three turned to look at her, their faces clearly expressing their thoughts-why was she everywhere?
She flaunted her long, red nails adorned with diamonds, a look of disdain on her face as she opened one of the
boxes.
She was ready to mock, but her words caught her throat as soon as she saw what was inside.
Inside the boxes were drinks from VOSS, with a single bottle costing over ten bucks. It wasn't something Darcy
couldn't afford.
However, Lila had spent nearly ten thousand dollars just for these two
newcomers. All that money was supposed to be for herself.

Recently, several huge brands had released new collections, and she particularly liked a few pieces.
Darcy felt resentment brewing and was increasingly dissatisfied with her. She rolled her eyes, her heavy eye
makeup making the whites of her eyes look stark and somewhat unsettling.
"Must be nice to spend your rich benefactor's money without a care, huh?" Darcy scoffed as if it were her own
money being spent.
In the face of her unreasonable attack, Lila just smiled. "I do have more money now. Spending it feels good."
In short, Dorian had always been too stingy.
Darcy caught the implication in her words. Her face, which should have turned red angrily, was hard to read
because of her heavy makeup.
Only her bulging-out eyes expressed her fury.
"You!"
As she looked up, she saw Dorian approaching and immediately adopted a pitiful expression, as if she had been
greatly wronged and was about to cry.
She had never used this tactic on Dorian before, but having seen Zara employ it successfully, she thought she'd
try it.
However, when Dorian looked at her, there was not an ounce of gentleness in his gaze.
Fortunately, he did speak up for her. "Lila, she's still young. Can't you be a little more accommodating?"
