Miles\u2018 expression changed instantly. He lunged forward, reaching for the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou little bitch! Trying to play dirty with me now, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna had been prepared. She stomped down hard on his polished leather shoe, making him cry out in pain and stagger back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe recording\u2019s already been backed up.\u201d Sienna waved her phone. \u201cTake one more step, and I\u2019ll send it straight to Clayton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The color drained from Miles\u2018 face. He hissed through gritted teeth, \u201cWhat exactly do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s simple, really. Stop helping Melody pull dirty tricks on Michelle.\u201d Sienna\u2019s smile faded as she glanced at her phone. \u201cOr you\u2019ll face the consequences.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine! You win!\u201d Miles shot her a vicious glare before storming off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In truth, Sienna wasn\u2019t completely confident either. Even if Clayton found out, he would probably tell Miles off a little and let things go. After all, that child had never truly mattered to him in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Rupert was about to undergo surgery. She wasn\u2019t going to agitate him with something that was long over. The Hales and the Turners had deep ties, and she couldn\u2019t simply drive a wedge between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Michelle returned after wrapping up her scene. She asked curiously, \u201cWhat were you and Miles talking about? He\u00a0<\/p>\n
looked livid when he left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna calmly put her phone away. \u201cHe just deserved a good scolding. He gave in after I yelled at him a bit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle was amazed. \u201cEven the director has to show him some respect. No one in the entire crew has the guts to mess with him. And yet you went head\u2013to\u2013head with him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m your assistant now.\u201d Sienna patted her on the shoulder. \u201cLet\u2019s see who dares to pick on you now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle let out an emotional cry and threw an arm around Sienna\u2019s neck. \u201cEnna, you\u2019re the best! I\u2019m so lucky to have you as a friend. I\u2019ve got to pay you well as my assistant!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna coughed twice at her antics. \u201cI\u2019ve been living at your place rent\u2013free, and you never charged me. If I end up divorced with nowhere to go, aren\u2019t you going to take me in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I\u2019ll take you in! I\u2019ll do it a hundred times over!\u201d Michelle linked arms with her and dragged her outside. \u201cCome on! Let\u2019s have a feast\u2013my treat!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Early the next morning, the sky had yet to fully brighten, and Horizon Film Studios was still shrouded in a hazy mist. Inside the dressing room, harsh white lights glared overhead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle had some scenes scheduled early. She was already seated in front of the mirror, and the makeup artist was applying\u00a0<\/p>\n
her base.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna stood beside her, holding a thermos and the script. She occasionally handed over a cup of warm tea, looking quite the part of a professional assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLift your eyelids a bit more,\u201d the makeup artist instructed softly. \u201cYes, just like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, someone pushed the door open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody\u2019s assistant, Shannon Lloyd, strode in like she owned the place. She tapped the makeup table with her finger. \u201cMs. Foster needs her makeup done right now. Head over there first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The makeup artist paused and turned to Michelle, looking conflicted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sienna set her things on the table and said firmly, \u201cThe call sheet says that Ms. Foster\u2019s scene is still three hours away. What\u2019s the rush? Does she have something in mind?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shannon shot Sienna a sideways glance. \u201cMs. Foster is a true professional. She likes to do her makeup and review her lines to get into character early. Some nobodies, on the other hand, only scramble when filming starts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna let out a soft chuckle. \u201cIf Ms. Foster is that dedicated, she might as well come to work in full makeup. She can get into character on the way here. Better yet, she can even sleep with her makeup on. She can study her role in her dreams too. Who\u00a0<\/p>\n
knows? Maybe she\u2019ll win herself a knockoff Silver Screen Award someday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few staff members in the room couldn\u2019t help but stifle their laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She got the divorce and bolted 65 Chapter 65\u00a0 Miles\u2018 expression changed instantly.
