Arielle opened her mouth, about to apologize, when her assistant spoke. “I’m sorry, Ms. Serena. Ms.
Moore isn’t the one at fault. There was a car accident earlier, so we were trapped in the traffic for quite a
while. If not for it, we would’ve arrived half an hour earlier.” However, Serena refused to accept the
explanation. Instead, she uttered, “Then you should’ve left earlier. I’m sure you wouldn’t be late if you
were to leave your place an hour earlier, right?”
The assistant, Iris, froze. She never thought the person in charge would be such a difficult person to deal
with. Just as she was about to continue her explanation, Arielle reached out her hand to stop her. With a
solemn expression, Arielle said, “Ms. Serena, regardless of everything. It’s wrong of me to have been
late. Let me apologize to you and the rest of the staff.” “Do you think an apology would be sufficient?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHave you watched any shows? Do you think apologies can salvage everything? If you killed a man, do
you think an apology would bring him back to life?”
At that, Arielle creased her forehead. By now, she knew the other woman was just picking a bone with
her. Taking in a subtle deep breath, Arielle said, “Then I’ll be responsible for this. I’ll do my best to speed
up the shooting later. However, if we still spend more time than we’ve planned to at the outdoor shooting,
I’ll pay the extra.” Serena burst out laughing. “Ms. Moore, are you being serious? As far as I know, you
have zero filming experience.
Before coming to Jadeborough, you only lived in a small village. Do you know what filming is? Filming
isn’t the same as taking photos. You need to meld with the environment, the clothes, and the theme…”
Arielle interrupted, “Ms. Serena, if you keep this up, you’ll only waste more time. Since the outdoor
location charges per minute, let’s not waste any more time and get into it.” Serena’s expression
darkened. She’s using my words against me.
Annoyed, she huffed. “I’ll look forward to your shooting, then.” Instead of answering her, Arielle headed
to the dressing room to change her clothes. The first set of costumes was Soir Coffee’s employee outfit.
It was dark blue with a chef’s hat. Anyone else would look like an ordinary coffee shop employee in that
outfit, but Arielle looked gorgeous in it. It was as if she was born for fashion; any clothing fitted her well.
No matter what she wore, others could not tear their eyes off her.
The makeup artist gasped. “Ms. Sannie, it’s such a waste that you’re not a model with a face like yours.”
Arielle smiled but said nothing to that. She had once been a model on an international catwalk, but she
had been wearing a mask back then. However, upon walking out of the dressing room with her makeup,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSerena frowned. “No coffee shop staff wears makeup. This will affect the taste of the coffee. Remove it
right away!” There were two reasons for Serena to say that.
Arielle was too pretty and eye-catching, so she did not want the others to think that she was a flawless
woman; she only wanted others to think that Arielle was unworthy of being Soir Coffee’s ambassador.
The other reason was that she wanted to waste Arielle’s time so that Arielle would have to pay for the
extra.
Ever since she was demoted, she had been earning three times lesser than before. Hence, she had to
make Arielle suffer with her. Yet, Serena had forgotten that her arrogance and selfishness were the
reason for her downfall. After hearing her, Arielle quietly returned to get the makeup artist to remove her
makeup.
Meanwhile, Serena waited outside for Arielle to reappear with an ugly face. To her, Arielle’s beauty was
too surreal, so Serena was sure that Arielle was only beautiful because of her makeup. Once she
removed her makeup, Serena was certain that she would be nothing but an ugly witch. The more Serena
thought about it, the more eager she was to look at the hideous Arielle.
