Chapter: 337
Unknowingly, the manager’s tone became condescending as he suggested that she consider other
hotels.
Ariana was angry, but after a moment’s hesitation, she decided to stay the night at the hotel. She didn’t
want to deal with the hassle of locating another hotel at this point. Besides, they had a lot of luggage
with them, which made it even more inconvenient to move around.
She figured she would just make plans for the next day.
The special rooms would have poor sound insulation and sanitation, and it would not be a comfortable
place to spend the night. But Ariana had no choice. She and Tyler would have to endure it for one
night.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Ariana turned around to leave, her ears picked up the sound of a commotion nearby. It seemed that
some guests who had just arrived were being given standard rooms by the hotel manager.
Her frustration boiled over into anger as she realized that the hotel manager was deliberately denying
her and Tyler access to better accommodations. She was convinced that Francis and Cole had a hand
in it and must have influenced the hotel manager to deal her a blow.
Ariana was overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness. She was aware that Cole would go to great
lengths to make their lives difficult before filming began. However, she never expected that he would
not only rope in the director to help him, but also cause trouble in their accommodation.
With a heavy sigh, Ariana trudged to Tyler’s room, feeling defeated.
The young man was fully engrossed in the script.
“We weren’t able to change rooms. We’ll have to spend the night in the special rooms and come up
with a plan tomorrow,” she said, slumping into the chair across from Tyler.
As they spoke, they could hear a conversation coming from the adjacent room. It sounded like a young
couple, with the girl complaining about the room’s size and the boy trying to soothe her with patience.
Ariana let out an even louder sigh, her chin dropping onto the table in exhaustion.
“The soundproofing is terrible. We have an early call time tomorrow, and we won’t get a good night’s
sleep. I’m worried that if you’re not well-rested, your performance will suffer.”
Despite only having two scenes the next day, one at 7 a.m. and the other at 12 p.m., the thought of it
was already torturous. She found the whole situation absurd.
Tyler closed the script and handed her a bowl of instant noodles he had just prepared.
“Here, eat something. Then we can come up with a solution together.” He added in a hushed tone, “It’s
cheese flavor, not spicy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe mention of cheese flavor perked Ariana up, and she eagerly opened her instant noodles.
Tyler, on the other hand, had gone for a fiery spicy flavor.
As she ate, Ariana said, “Luckily, I brought earplugs. You can use them tonight. You have to wake up at
5 a.m. tomorrow and head to the dressing room for makeup.
You’ll finish your work at midnight. If you don’t get a good night’s sleep tonight, you’ll be out of
commission for the entire day.” ©
Taking a sip of the hot, spicy broth, Tyler replied in a soothing tone, “Don’t worry. 1 grew up in a low-
income family and lived in a suburban house with poor soundproofing. I was used to waking up early
for school every day. As a newcomer, this is my first experience working on a film set. It’s all part of the
learning process.”
Ariana felt a mix of gratitude and sadness. She added an egg to Tyler’s bowl and said, “Eat more. Don’t
dwell on it. It won’t happen again in the future. I was also new to a film crew and fell into their trap.”
