She was a little guilty, because the main character she chose just now would have been played by Gracie. But she also wanted to star as that character. Matilda had already discussed with the director, and the director had agreed to let she be the main character. Gracie would definitely have known about this.
Gracie deliberately stretched out a foot. June didn't notice it and tripped. Fortunately, she grasped the arm of the chair and didn't fall. She turned her head to look at Gracie.
Gracie immediately bent down to rub her calf, and said angrily, "Are you blind?"
Although June knew that Gracie deliberately stumbled over her, with so many people present, she thought it was not a right place to quarrel with Gracie. June didn't want to ruin her image, so she whispered an apology.
Gracie snorted coldly and arrogantly raised her chin.
Then it was time to watch the show. June sat upright, but Gracie changed her poses frequently for the camera. Gracie thought that June's status was too low, so she deliberately tilted her body to the other side.
June could feel Gracie's dislike, but she didn't care. She continued to look at the runway and tried to learn more about how to dress fashionably.
The show ended after two hours. When June began to left, Gracie suddenly blocked her path and angrily questioned her, "June, in the show business, I'm your senior. Do you know that you shall respect me? Others all treated me respectfully and called me Miss. Gracie. However, you took my part, but you even didn't tell me in advance, nor did you apologize to me!
June didn't expect Gracie to come right toward her and quarrel with her. It seemed that secretly tripping her up didn't satisfy Gracie. Now Gracie was going to pick on her further.
"If I remember correctly, when Ms. Gracie was still a rookie, you not only took other's advertisements and characters, but also hooked up with others' boyfriends." June replied with a smile.
"You!" Gracie didn't expect June, a small character, was so sharp-tongued and dared to satirize her.
"Miss. Gracie, there always are newcomers in each industry. Times are changing and the industry is updating. I respect you as a senior, but can you also give the newcomers some chances and be friendly to us?" June asked calmly.
Gracie's face was dark with anger, but what June had said was true and she had nothing to say. This was what she was furious about the most.
"Even if I am going to give the newcomers some chances, the one won't be you. Just wait and see. Your good days are going to end." After Gracie finished speaking, she left angrily.
June looked at Gracie's back and sighed. Only then did she realize that she had actually irritated Gracie. Although she felt comfortable, it would cause her great trouble.
"June, why are you in a daze here? I waited for you outside for a long time but you didn't come, and I thought you were gone." Matilda walked over with the assistant.
"It's fine. Let's go back," June said softly.
June experienced more bad things on this single day than what she had experienced in the previous 21 years. She had always yearned for being an actress so that people would love her and respect her. She had wanted to spend the first half of her life in the entertainment industry, and to earn some pension money and live a pleasant life with her mother in the second half of her life. Now, it seemed that her plan for the future should be changed.
Early in the morning, the sunlight flooded into the bedroom. Ben woke up very early. He really didn't want to use the good time to sleep.
He looked at the girl sleeping quietly beside him. It was said that one's sleeping position showed a person's personality. During the night, the girl beside him slept very quietly. Occasionally, she would turn around but her movements were very light.
Her long hair was like black silk with a fragrance. It had small curls at the end and some hair by her ears loosened for sleep, making her look like a fairy from the heaven.
