76 Chapter 28 (1/2)
Reisha's production crew were buzzing in gossips so early in the morning as they go and about setting up for the set.
”I heard there is a new investor for the movie.”
”Yeah, the director was ecstatic! I heard this person invested a whopping twenty million for the show!”
”I guess we'll be eating hot pot for dinner tonight! Ehehehe!”
”Yet, I don't get it. This person is strange. I heard from the a.s.sistant director that she wanted a role in the movie.”
”Really?”
”Yeah, and it's a very minor role. I don't think it's even a role as the character's screen time didn't even reach a minute.”
”Huh? Why asked a role like that?”
”I don't know. That's why I said it was strange.”

Amidst the gossiping crowds, inside Angel Lin's private room, the stylist and the makeup artist were preparing her for the shoot while Eric was busy getting the starlet's things ready.
”Eric, have you receive my message?” Angel asked while the makeup artist put foundation on her face.
Eric stopped what he was doing and turned to Angel. Respectfully bowing, he replied, ”I'm sorry, Miss Lin. I lost the phone. Please deduct it from my pay.”
Angle beamed and answered, ”It's fine. If you lost it, it's lost. We'll get you a new one.”
Eric's brows briefly twitched. He remained bowing before straitening his back and answered a simple, ”Thank you.”
The manager at the side who was busy calling on her phone and Fey, the personal a.s.sistant and all other people inside the room paused for a moment. It was rare that Angel would show interest in one of her crew. Usually, she was very fair and treated everyone equally with no favoritism.
They simply dismissed it, for they known beforehand that Eric studied at the same school as Angel. Maybe that was why she was extra nice to him, even to the extent of personally texting him.
Some were jealous at the preferential treatment while some were praising Angel Lin for being down to earth and humble and understanding and kind and all other praises they could think of. Their G.o.ddess truly is an Angel!
While everyone was busy with their thoughts, they heard the director's voice resounded in all parts of the set in time for Angel and all the actors finished preparing, and got out of their designated rooms.
”Everyone, please huddle up!” The director announced full of smiles with the producer by his side.
Everyone gathered, their faces held shining curiosity.
The producer cleared his throat and said, ”I'm happy to introduce all of you to one of our new investors today. She will be gracing us with her presence in this day's shoot.”
Low murmurs resounded while everybody discussed that the new investor was a she. But before they could carry on with their favorite past time of daily gossip, they heard the producer mentioned the woman's name.
”Everyone, meet Miss Evangeline Heart. I hope that everyone will treat her as one of our family from this day and onwards.”
The crowd's low murmurs hushed when their throat itched. Their eyes rolled up and down with mouth gaping when they saw the woman who walked in as the crowd unconsciously parted to make way for her.
She was tall, in fact, the same height as Angel or much more, which already distinguished her apart from the rest. What was more, no one could take their eyes away from her as she excluded an air which was very different from the rest. An elegant air which made one revere her, and at the same time, fierce and cold, which made one intimidated from just looking at her –– which was an odd combination.
