However, when Megan went to choose her costume after she was done with her makeup, not only was the resplendent princess costume she wore the previous day gone but there was no fine costume left.
After she had glanced through the remaining costumes, she found that they were all either for the maids or concubines in the palace. Some were so sensual that they didn't fit the character of Princess Madeline at all.
“What's this? Where's the costume for Princess Madeline?” she couldn't resist asking the stylist at the side.
Not daring to answer her bluntly, the stylist merely muttered, “You were a bit late today, so Janice and the other actresses...” She couldn't get the rest of her words out even after a long
time had passed.
Just when Megan was about to say something, she heard the crew outside urging the cast to get into place. Out of options, she could only pick two costumes that could still be considered appropriate for her role and hastily changed. Sure enough, before Josiah had even said anything, Adam had ready spotted her wearing an unsuitable costume since he was very particular about details. Nonetheless, she could only bite the bullet and walk out, knowing that she would probably suffer that day.
All at once, Adam went ballistic. “Are you wearing rags, Megan? Remember that you're a princess! Do you know what a princess is? You're not a maid!” he lambasted while gesturing at her.
Helplessness engulfed Megan. It wasn't her fault, so she merely looked at him apologetically. “This is the only costume that came close to my character in the dressing room, Mr. Kennedy.” Then, she shifted her gaze to Josiah. But in the end, she chose to remain silent about his sabotage.
Adam was already livid, but Josiah even poured fuel onto the fire. “Why do you have a problem with your costume when everyone else is fine? You're the only person with an issue among the few hundred cast members. Hah, you're truly troublesome!”
“What the hell is your problem? Can you just do your job? If you don't want to act, just get lost!” Adam bellowed at Megan. However, not a single person bothered to pay any attention to it because such a scene had transpired countless times on set.
Meanwhile, the reason for the incident was naturally that Megan had offended Josiah.
