Chapter 180 The Instinct And Preference To Follow Despicable People
She knew this girl.
She was one of Lara's assistants, and her name seemed to be Rosie.
She was young and seemed to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was just a scrap of a thing, usually following Lara and looking timid.
The reason why Clarissa noticed her was that she accidentally saw Lara beating and scolding her when Clarissa went to the studio to find her actor.
Rosie splashed the water on Lara's clothes by accident when she poured water for Lara, and Lara immediately slapped her in the face.
She was so wronged and covered her face with tears, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Clarissa felt sympathetic to her at that time, but it was Lara's business. She was not a saint and didn't want to stickybeak, so she didn't say anything.
But she had an impression of Rosie because of this incident.
Clarissa did not speak, but just nodded slightly at her. Rosie knew her relationship with Lara, so she looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Clarissa was gentle and didn't mean to make things difficult for her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After about half a minute, Lara walked over slowly.
When she saw the two people in the elevator, she was taken aback, as if she was a little surprised. Then she smiled tenderly.
"Hi, Clarissa, are you going to the restaurant as well?"
Clarissa glanced at her and did not answer her words.
It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to her.
Dorian didn't know what had happened between them and didn't dare to ask. Lara was his senior, so he greeted her respectfully in a hurry.
Lara nodded at him, and then entered the elevator with Rosie. Rosie silently stood behind her, and the atmosphere fell into silence.
The crew booked the 12th and 13th floors. The elevator stopped twice and it didn't take long before they arrived in the lobby.
After coming out of the elevator, they happened to meet two actors who were waiting for someone in the lobby. Maybe it was because Dorian felt that the atmosphere was embarrassing, he said goodbye to them and then left with the actors.
In this way, only Rosie, who was silently following behind Lara, walked together with Clarissa and Lara.
The restaurant was not far from the hotel, and it was about seven or eight hundred meters away. It took only about ten minutes to walk there.
Clarissa walked unhurriedly. Lara glanced at her and suddenly said, "Clarissa, do you know why those reporters only interviewed me in the afternoon?"
Clarissa still didn't speak, and Lara sneered sarcastically.
"Because everyone understands that although you are the leading actress, the protagonist in real life is me. You took away my leading role, but so what?"
"Those people will still treat you as a worthless new actress. They will only be interested in you and take pictures of you because of me."
"Otherwise, even if you are the leading actress, you have no difference between those lesser-known and humble extras."
Clarissa paused.
She turned her head and looked at her with a smile.
"Oh, really?"
"Of course, didn't you see what happened in the afternoon?"
Clarissa smiled.
She smiled slowly with an indifferent sarcasm.
"A long time ago, I heard that there are some people in the world who have the instinct and preference to follow despicable people. I thought that only this kind of people were annoying, but I didn't expect that even the despicable person could be so smug. You're really beyond my imagination."
Lara was startled, and she went berserk when she realized what Clarissa meant.
"You!"
"What's more, it's easy for you to get something, but you will be laughed at if you can't keep it!"
"I hope you can cherish and protect everything you have now, because they will no longer belong to you soon!"
"At that time, I hope you can still be as proud of yourself like this."
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. Lara, this leading role of this drama is just a beginning. Then, I will take back everything that doesn't belong to you! Just get ready for what will happen next!"
"Clarissa! How dare you..."
"Ha!"
Clarissa sneered, as if she was mocking Lara for overreaching. Then she ignored Lara, turned around and strode out.
Lara was so angry that her face turned livid. She stared at Clarissa's back, but she couldn't say a word.
She clenched her fists tightly. After a long time, she took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in her heart and walked out.
The dinner in the evening went smoothly. Able as Alvin was, he had no chance to carry out his ideals for many years. This time, he managed to get the investment and set up his own team in a true sense. Naturally, he was very happy.
Since he was joyful, he drank a lot during the meal. As the leading actress, Clarissa also drank a lot with him.
She was pretty good at drinking. The reason why she got drunk after drinking a glass of wine last time was that the wine Anderson brought was different.
Therefore, even if she had drunk a half bottle of wine, she didn't get drunk.
However, Alvin drank so much and his face turned red halfway through the banquet. Obviously, he had got drunk.
Clarissa went out to the bathroom and happened to meet him on the way back.
Alvin, who was drunk, smiled and looked easier to approach. He was not as proud and apathetic as usual.
They chatted and walked to the box together.
"Congratulations, Director Leslie. If this movie can be filmed smoothly, one of your wishes will be fulfilled."
Alvin nodded and then laughed, "I have to thank you. If I didn't meet you, I wouldn't have made up my mind to start shooting so soon."
Clarissa raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled gently, "In fact, I was actually very surprised that you would choose me. I am a new actress who has never acted before. This drama is so important to you. Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your reputation?"
Unexpectedly, Alvin shook his head seriously with his face darkened.
"No. I have great discernment in my choice of actors. You were born to be an actress, and it can't be wrong."
Clarissa was slightly stunned.
This was the second time she had heard such words, and the first person who said like this was Freddie.
After a moment, she looked away, lowered her head slightly and smiled.
"You flatter me."
"No, I'm telling the truth."
As Alvin said this, he suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall down.
Clarissa was startled and quickly grabbed him.
Alvin held the wall with one hand at the right time, so that he did not fall down.
He smiled awkwardly, "I am so happy that I drank too much. I'm so sorry. Please don't mind."
Clarissa sighed in relief, withdrew her hand, and shook her head with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, but we have to work tomorrow. Director Leslie, you should pay more attention to your health."
Alvin nodded. Then they didn't say anything else and walked to the box together.
