Each environment, each profession, has its own codes, its own way of operating, tacit rules, which everyone must observe if they want to have a career and move up the ladder without making waves. In each company, there is a strict pre-established hierarchy, which follows a so-called logical organization chart, which must be followed to the letter if you do not want to attract the anger of a pernickety superior who is proud of his social status.
However, there are people who send to steal these well-integrated codes, with impunity. These people do not care much about these rules, which they consider only as embarrassing guidelines, for which they do not in any way feel concerned. They do not care what others think, because they have a clear feeling of being better than those at the top of the organization chart and therefore do not care much about their elders and superiors, to whom they show very relative respect.
Inside a movie studio in Los Angeles, comfortably lying in a deckchair under a parasol. Alleviating supposedly for her well-being the hot almost infernal air of California, a portable air cooler is currently running, while two of her maids are waving a fan in her direction, while a third is charged with bringing a glass of grapefruit juice to her mouth. It is under these drastic conditions that Jessica performs her difficult work as an actress.
Not far from there, a pair of eyes full of hatred watches the young diva with endless legs, who has just been delivered a pastry from one of the most prestigious pastry shops in Los Angeles.
The person behind that resentful look was until recently the favorite, the one we were looking at, which was the center of attention of all men before the arrival of that bitch Jessica Benson, who instantly charmed all the males present on the movie set as soon as she appeared. The main actor was not excluded from the victims of the starlet who presented herself followed by more than 15 people, claiming to have reduced her team to a minimum so as not to disturb the shooting of the movie.
Against all odds, the hateful woman who thought she was seeing the director knew for his bad temper to shout on the young star who looked at her with disdain, smiled warmly at Jessica, inviting her to go to the dressing room, under the escort of her own assistant, after having complimented her beautiful face at length.
Yes, not far from there, Carrey Mulligan is enraged. She gets even more angry when one of Jessica Benson's maids leaves her female-fan position to move towards her, waving her hips excessively.
”Miss Mulligan, our young miss has a bird's appetite. As this pastry is as heavy for the stomach as it is large, in its great generosity that the whole world recognizes, our miss wishes to know if you would like to eat its leftovers? If so, our lovely young miss lets you know that if you are interested, you can start by tasting the many pieces that have fallen to the ground, waiting for you at her feet. After that, if you are still hungry, you can lick our miss's deckchair as soon as she gets up. Our young miss considers it her duty to warn you that although she wishes to share her food with you, considering your greasy buttocks, she nevertheless advises you not to eat voraciously as you did last night in the restaurant. Coming back to baking, as far as the cake itself is concerned, our miss has already decided to share the remaining part with Miss Lilly, her recently acquired dog. That's why...”
In the film studio, it's the general incomprehension. when, after a scream worthy of a fish seller working in the markets, the charming Carrey Mulligan just got up from her seat to rush to the young Jessica Benson, quietly busy enjoying a pastry. Luckily, the men who provide security for Miss Benson are very responsive and immediately intercepted the woman in a nervous breakdown. Miss Benson still lying in her armchair doesn't seem to care much about Carey Mulligan, but all the professionals gathered in the film studio applaud her great generosity, when, certainly to relax the suffocating atmosphere that currently prevails in this place, with a smile that melts the hearts of all the men who watch the comedy, she kindly hands her a plate.
