Chapter 16 The Drama Queen
Teresa glanced at Nancy and nodded with a smile, saying, "You are my daughter. Of course I believe that you are able to deal with her. Don't worry. I'll help you when it's necessary."
Only then did Nancy become happy.
At the villa of the Ji family.
Clark brought Rachel home.
Standing at the door of the villa, Rachel said to Clark with gratitude, "Thank you for helping me out today, Clark."
"You're welcome," Clark said in a calm voice, "I brought you here."
Rachel was stunned.
It turned out that it was not because he didn't want to see her being embarrassed, but because as his female companion, she also represented him. Giving her hard time also meant messing up with him.
The most important thing for a man was his self-esteem.
Thinking of this, the light in Rachel's eyes dimmed.
"Don't worry. I'll pay you back the five million," Rachel said, gritting her teeth.
To be honest, five million was not a small amount of money for Rachel right now. She didn't know when she could earn it back.
But Clark didn't take the money seriously. "You don't need to pay me back. This money is just something the Ji family return the society."
"No way!" Rachel rebuked subconsciously, "This money has been donated in my name. For any reason, I should return it to you. I'll write an IOU note to you when I go back."
Raising his eyebrows, Clark said, "If you really feel guilty about this, you can take it as a debt of gratitude to me. I will let you pay it back when I have the chance."
"What?" Rachel was speechless. It was Clark who had decided to donate five million for her without her consent. How come she owed him a debt of gratitude now?
But for the sake of his timely help just now, she agreed that she owed him a debt of gratitude.
Clark opened the gate of the villa and walked inside.
A soft voice came through, "Mr. Clark and Miss Rachel, you are back!"
Eva ran over to them and hugged Rachel with excitement.
"Miss Rachel, it's so nice to see you. I miss you so much!" Eva hugged Rachel, released her quickly and said happily. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The moment Rachel saw Eva, all her fatigue vanished.
They held hands and talked intimately. It was really a warm and loving scene.
The next day, Rachel received a call from Nancy when she was having breakfast.
"Rachel, come to the filming site as soon as possible. If you are late, you will get punished!" Nancy said as if she was a princess.
Rachel frowned in disgust. She didn't expect Nancy would call through the landline of the Ji family while her cell phone broke down. "Nancy, the working time is an hour away. What's the rush?"
"I am your boss. You go to work as per the time I say. Come over here right now!" Nancy ordered angrily.
When Rachel put down her phone, Clark, who was sitting at the table, looked at her indifferently and asked, "Is it Nancy calling you?"
"She urged me to go to the filming site," Rachel answered as she nodded.
"I will send a driver to drive you there," Clark said in a calm voice.
Time was pressing, so she asked the driver to send her directly to the filming site.
When Rachel finally arrived, panting heavily, she saw Nancy sitting in the dressing room and fiddling with her phone.
"Nancy," said Rachel, angry at the sight of her lazy look. "Did you call me here to see you fiddling with your cell phone?"
Nancy raised her head and gave Rachel a glance, saying in a ordering tone, "Buy me a cup of coffee, now!"
Rachel's fists clenched. Yesterday, she had taught Nancy a lesson, but this woman seemed to forget all what she had said now.
It was obvious that Nancy was trying to make things difficult for her. But thinking that the filming site was under her control, Rachel bit her lips and turned around to buy coffee.
When she finally bought the coffee from the cafe which was far away, she found Nancy was still fiddling with her phone. The make-up artists were all around her, as if she were a princess.
Standing next to her, Rachel handed her the coffee and said, "This is your coffee!"
Nancy cast Rachel a glance, put down the phone and reached for it.
When she let go of the coffee cup, Nancy suddenly smiled at Rachel, with a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes. She immediately had a bad feeling.
Nancy pretended to take the coffee cup, but her hand didn't touch the cup at all. The whole cup of coffee fell directly on her.
"Ah!" With a scream, Nancy stood up immediately.
The coffee cup fell to the ground and rolled aside with the brown liquid.
"Rachel, you...... What are you trying to do?" The expressions on Nancy's face changed dramatically, suspicion, disbelief, disappointment, grievance and so on. All kinds of expressions intertwined, making her look like a complete victim.
No wonder she was an actress.
It was not until now that Rachel began to understand why Nancy had asked her to buy coffee just now. This whole thing was a trap!
Before Rachel could say anything, Nancy had just demonstrated her best ability of acting.
"Rachel," said Nancy with tears streaming down her face, "I knew it. You didn't want to be my assistant at all. The reason you agreed to be my assistant is that you wanted to take revenge on me by all means!"
"You bully me so blatantly because I am not very famous! You gave me the cold shoulder just because I'm not a famous actress!"
"If you don't want to be my assistant, you can quit! Why did you do this to me?"
Nancy accused Rachel of the crime, acting to be the victim.
The crew heard the noise and surrounded to watch the show.
Nancy became an actress at an early age and was familiar with these people.
She always presented herself as a good girl to the public, and people would think her as gentle, kind and weak.
Therefore, there was no doubt that everyone was on her side.
"You are just an assistant. How dare you do this to a celebrity? Don't you know how to behave yourself?"
"I agree. I can tell at a glance that she is a tough person and she has no respect for Nancy at all."
"If I were you, I would fire the assistant at once. She is out of control. How dare she mess up with her master?"
Everyone was blaming Rachel.
A cold smile spread across Rachel's face. She was actually hoping that Nancy would fire her as soon as possible.
Seeing that the effect of the public opinion was as she expected, Nancy wiped the tears on her face and said, "Forget it. Give her more time to adapt to it. If she really can't get along with me, after finding a new assistant, I will fire her!"
With an indifferent glance at her, Rachel said, "Nancy, why don't you fire me as soon as possible? That's exactly what I want!"
Hearing Rachel's words, Nancy pretended to be irritated again and pointed at her with trembling fingers, "How can you do that, Rachel? I am kind enough to give you a chance. How can you treat me like this?"
Rachel didn't want to talk to her anymore.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind, "Nancy, if you want to ride roughshod over her, go home! Is it easy for the assistant to serve you every day? How could you use the power of public opinion to criticize her? Ridiculous!"
