Chapter 111
Teresa was totally clueless.
“What’s an Eileen hater?”
Her assistant explained. “Basically, Eileen pissed off some folks, so they hired professional haters to
rag on her. Now there are new haters in the mix, so the old haters are pissed off; they probably feel like
their turf is being encroached on. So they started fighting with our haters, but our guys aren’t part of this
feud.”
Teresa felt a massive headache coming on. She lowered her head to look at the comments below.
The comment section was filled with malice and negativity; it was an endless stream of insults.
Teresa’s eyes were hurting just from reading them.
Just as she was about to refresh the page, the whole topic suddenly vanished.
Teresa was stunned. “What’s happening?”
Just then, her assistant’s phone rang.
After reading the message, the assistant awkwardly said, “The hater we hired said his account got
temporarily banned because the comment section was loaded with personal attacks, insults, profanity,
and obscene words. After being reported numerous times, the official system flagged his account as
potentially risky.”
Teresa fell silent.
There was a sudden knock on the door outside the resting room.
Teresa’s eyes changed, and she paused before telling her assistant, “Go open the door.”
Meanwhile, Eileen was also browsing the same topic when it suddenly disappeared.
“What happened?”
Janice checked and said, “It’s not my internet.”
Eileen finished her chicken leg, wiped her hands, and stood up. “Ignore them; Ophelia will take care of
it.”
Janice admired Eileen’s nonchalance. “Eileen, you’re the toughest celeb I’ve met. So many people are
ragging on you, but you just don’t care.”
Eileen immediately showed her firm stance. “What’s there to care about? I’m a nice person; I don’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtusually pick fights.”
Janice nodded approvingly. “So, if I eat the rest of your chicken leg, you won’t fight me over it, right?”
Eileen responded with a cold laugh. “Of course not; I won’t just not fight you; I won’t not harm you
either, honestly.”
Janice struggled to find a response.
The afternoon shoot was scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. But when the time came, Galen was nowhere
to be found.
Eileen sat in her chair, looking at the two empty chairs on the other side; one belonged to Teresa, the
other to Egbert.
Neither of them had shown up.
After waiting for another half hour, the assistant director arrived and said that they were going to stop
work for the day.
Stop work?
The crew started to chatter.
Eileen was also surprised.
When she got back to her room for dinner, Eileen didn’t see Galen or the two main actors.
Janice, having heard some rumors, ran over to tell Eileen. “Apparently, it’s about a contract issue.”
“Contract?” Eileen was puzzled. “We’ve started filming already; what contract issue could there be?”
Janice shook her head. “I’m not sure…”
Just then, there were some noises in the hallway.
Eileen, in her pajamas, stood up. “Egbert must be back; I’ll go take a look.”
As Eileen opened the door, she saw that it was indeed Egbert trying to unlock his door.
Eileen walked towards him with her hands in her pockets.
Egbert glanced at her, opened the door, and walked in.
Eileen followed him inside and closed the door.
Egbert looked tired; he took off his coat, threw it onto the sofa, and went to pour himself some water.
While sitting down on the sofa, Eileen asked directly. “What happened?”
After taking a sip of water, Egbert put down his cup. “Teresa might be replaced.”
Eileen was surprised. “What?”
Egbert sat down beside her. “Teresa broke the confidentiality agreement by posting pictures of the film
crew during the shoot. According to the rules, she has to pay
a penalty of five million. We’ve been discussing this issue all afternoon.”
Eileen thought about the picture of her and Egbert holding hands. “You mean…”
“Yes.” Egbert sat down, noticing Eileen’s slightly wet hair. “Did you just take a shower?”
Eileen, still thinking about Teresa, answered. “Yes.”
Egbert looked away. “You should get some rest early.”
Eileen glanced at him and stood up from the sofa. As she was leaving, she turned to look at him and
asked. “How did you guys know Teresa leaked the photos?”
Egbert didn’t answer, he just looked at her.
Eileen laughed lightly while shaking her head. “Mr. Reed, you’re such a jerk.”
Then Eileen left the room and closed the door.
Egbert lowered his head and chuckled.
Eileen went back to her room, humming a song.
When she got back, Janice told her, “Eileen, Ophelia just called. She said the company has managed
to calm the public. The hand-holding photo has been explained as a work requirement. And the
account that suddenly couldn’t post updates at noon might have been banned because it was reported
too many times.”
Eileen chuckled lightly.
Janice was puzzled. “Eileen, what’s up?”
Eileen shook her head. “Nothing.”.
Would an account with a background get banned just because of some reports?
It was just because someone didn’t like it and took action.
Eileen turned her head, looking in the direction of her neighboring room, thinking about the hacking
skills Egbert demonstrated last night.
For him, tracing the source of a photo was a piece of cake.
The next day. The crew informed everyone in the morning that work was canceled for the day.
Eileen was planning to sleep in, but Galen called her, telling her to attend a meeting.
Reluctantly, Eileen got up and brought her script to the meeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe meeting was in the writer’s room, and as soon as Eileen walked in, she saw that Egbert was also
there.
“You’re here.” Galen took a sip from his thermos.
He gestured for Eileen to sit down, then said. “You already know about Teresa, right? Luckily, we
haven’t been filming for long, and her scenes can be re-shot.”
Curiously, Eileen asked. “Galen, are we really going to replace her?”
Galen lifted his head, giving her a chilly look. “Do you think I can let people on my film crew do
whatever they want?”
Eileen immediately zipped her lips. It suddenly dawned on her that Galen was always dead serious and
strict about anything related to filming.
Galen started speaking again. “Hertha’s scenes will be postponed. For a while, it’s mainly going to be
you
two.”
Eileen didn’t voice any objections.
Neither did Egbert.
Galen glanced around at them. “Both of your situations are still a bit shaky, so after discussing with the
scriptwriter, we’ve decided to focus on shooting your intimate scenes first. Tomorrow we’ll start with
scene 18, the bed scene.”
Eileen immediately flipped through the script to find that scene.
Egbert was lounging on the sofa, twiddling a pen. He suddenly said, “Sounds like a tough gig.”
Galen eyed him, frowning. “As long as your emotions are in place, there won’t be any difficulties. Do
you have any issues? Eileen, any issues on your end?*
Eileen had found the scene. After glancing at the script, she looked up and said. “I don’t have any
issues.”
Galen shot Egbert a stern look. “The girl doesn’t have any issues, so what’s a big guy like you all jittery
about?”
Then Eileen also turned to Egbert. She seriously told him. “Mr. Reed, I hope you can be a bit more
professional.”
Egbert raised an eyebrow, gave her a long look, and then nodded. “Alright, got it.”
