Chapter 66\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shannon never expected a mere assistant like Sienna would challenge her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seething with rage, she threatened, \u201cWho do you think you are? Mr. Turner specially appointed this makeup artist to attend to Ms. Foster whenever she needed her. Do you even get the rules around here? Didn\u2019t you hear how the last assistant got fired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna took a step toward Shannon and looked at the latter condescendingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see anything to learn from that case. And you keep disregarding me as a mere assistant, but aren\u2019t you one too? So why are you being so cocky? You think being Melody\u2019s assistant gives you special privileges?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have any complaints, have Mr. Turner speak to me. Otherwise, we\u2019ll follow the rules here. No one gets special\u00a0<\/p>\n
treatment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At a loss for words, Shannon left only a sharp warning before slamming the door behind her. Michelle could barely contain her laughter and shot Sienna a thumbs\u2013up in the mirror after Shannon stormed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re awesome, Sienna! I clashed with her before, and it ended up delaying the shoot. The director told us off for scheming and causing trouble. He said that we needed to bury the hatchet. Rosa sometimes has a go at Melody, but she keeps it down since Miles has Melody\u2019s back,\u201d Michelle said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A snort escaped Sienna\u2019s lips as she promised, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll take care of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon after Michelle went for the shoot, Sienna settled in a folding chair to rest. She yawned, still feeling groggy from waking up too early.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, her phone buzzed, lighting up with several messages from Clayton, whose contact was saved as \u201cTightwad\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you get up so early today?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you get kicked out of the pigpen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOr are you hunting for a job?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re rather persistent about playing this job\u2013hunting game, huh? I might as well start calling you \u2018Roach\u2018.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Sienna read the messages, her brow twitched in annoyance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She replied bluntly, \u201cScrew you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind her, carrying a faint snicker. \u201cAnd here I was wondering where Michelle found herself such an arrogant assistant. Turns out it\u2019s you, Sienna Winger.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna turned around to see Melody, completely decked out in a gown and full makeup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of living it up like a rich lady, you came here to work as a lowly assistant. You\u2019re such a disgrace to Clay,\u201d Melody mocked. A faint sneer played on her lips, and her eyes glinted with mockery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna leaned lazily against the back of the chair and glanced at her. \u201cI\u2019m just trying out different experiences. But really, your arrogance beats mine hands down, Ms. Foster. Even as the second lead, you run this set like the main star.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused and suddenly raised her voice. \u201cHonestly, if Regina wasn\u2019t so talented and popular, someone would\u2019ve already tried to knock her off that throne.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Regina Kirk, the female lead of the film, happened to walk by. Upon overhearing Sienna\u2019s claim, she stopped in her tracks and shot Melody a meaningful glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meeting Regina\u2019s gaze, Melody nervously clarified, \u201cThat\u2019s not funny, Sienna. Ms. Kirk is widely recognized for her acting. How could I possibly take her place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know very well whether that thought has crossed your mind before too,\u201d Sienna retorted with a faint smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Regina was out of sight, Melody\u2019s smile fell. She lowered her voice, though it still carried a subtle hint of arrogance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so what if I can? You know life\u2019s easier in the entertainment industry when someone\u2019s got your back. Besides, Clay was the one who helped me land this job.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThough I did wish I could play the main lead, he was thinking ahead for me. He was worried I\u2019d get backlash for taking the lead in such a famous franchise. To be exact, he was worried that I\u2019d clash with Regina\u2019s fans.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A troubled yet tender expression crossed Melody\u2019s face as she continued, \u201cClay couldn\u2019t bear to see me caught up in all that drama, so I agreed to settle for the second lead. Otherwise, I would\u2019ve easily gotten the main role.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna snickered coldly in her heart. Clayton had really planned everything out for Melody. Yet when it came to her, he had mocked her for using her connections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna\u2019s lips curled up into a smirk. Mimicking Clayton\u2019s condescending manner, she sarcastically retorted, \u201cYou sound so proud getting in through connections\u2013you\u2019re bragging about it like it\u2019s an achievement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you receive an award, why don\u2019t you just carve \u2018Sponsored by Clayton Hale\u2018 on your head and announce it to the world?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
