On set, the little assistant ordered the wrong meal again. I looked down, it was a bowl of Lobster Bisque. Just lifted the lid, a faint fishy smell rushed out. I just finished filming an Underwater Scene, body cold, stomach empty pain, but recognized it at a glance. "There is shellfish in this soup." I looked up at her, "I'm allergic to shellfish." She obviously stunned, then face turned pale. "Sorry, Winter, I forgot in a hurry." This is the seventh time. ... Chapter 1 First time, among a pile of sunglasses, picked a competitor's brand for me, discovered by me urgently before event, almost flipped over. Second time, before walking Red Carpet, suddenly rushed out to adjust my dress, result low blood sugar fainted, hyped by media saying I mistreat employees. Third time, spilled coffee on a senior's dress, while crying apologizing, while red eyes looking at me, senior face ugly, I apologized many times finally still carried "disrespect senior" black material. And like this time. She stood in place hesitated few seconds, eye rims slowly red. "Then you don't eat, I eat this myself... deduct money from my salary." I didn't speak. $3,000 a month assistant salary, not enough to cover trouble she made. Seeing me silent, she anxious, head down fast typing phone. Few seconds later, she sighed relief, looked up showed me a fawning smile. "Sister, rest assured, Gavin said he come later, bring you food again." I originally already turned, stopped steps after this sentence. Phone in pocket gently vibrated. [Gavin: My little princess angry?] [Gavin: I bring you your favorite Pumpkin Soup, don't calculate with little girl, who haven't made mistake.] [Gavin: Wait for hubby.] Tone familiar. Seems this kind of "cleanup", he already very skilled. Summer, is Gavin's early dead White Moonlight's sister. Family average, education average, has some beauty. Graduation can't find job, family want marry her to an old bachelor, exchange money for brother marry wife. Later, she found Gavin Chase. Then later, sent to my side by him, beautiful name "follow do chores". But I know, little girl mind many, one heart want walk into "Hollywood". Seeing me not speak, she hugged that box soup, small voice mumbled: "Waste food shameful, then only I solve myself." I didn't respond again, turned got on RV. Half hour later, Gavin finally arrived. I already took shower, drinking a cup ginseng tea. He saw me, no apology, open mouth actually help little girl fight injustice. "You ah, just bought wrong a meal, difficult a small assistant for what?" My throat tight: "I today for camera, didn't eat whole day, just finished three underwater scenes, cold and hungry." I looked at him. "Also, day after tomorrow I attend Golden Globe, if just ate that soup, face rash, edema, you think I still can attend event?" "Don't you know this award meaning to me?" "That is first role I got after lying in bed one year rehab, is milestone I stand up again." Gavin silent two seconds, tone finally soft down, he pinched my face. "Okay, my little princess, don't angry." He put food in front of me, handed spoon, stood behind me rub shoulder. Back then I for block falling steel frame for him smashed broken legs, he also so gentle took care me one year, wipe wash change clothes for me. Now, look like as usual considerate. I ate a mouthful rice, raised hand pointed coat on sofa. "This Haute Couture, didn't you say help me pick from Paris? Why on her body?" His movement paused, subconsciously looked outside RV. "Why you took her clothes?" "Weather so cold, what if she sick? She birthday want a gift, I see she like this one very much, so gave her." His tone matter of course. "You clothes so many, also can't wear finish, reward little girl what problem?" I looked up at him. "Gavin Chase, I am your fiancée, not your private property." "Take my things, shouldn't you ask my opinion first?" She poor, is her business. Based on what I bear her life. Moreover, she has what worthy reward thing? He didn't coax me, instead frowned, face full disapproval. "Winter, this clothes I bought." "Even give you, that is also money I spent, who I want give, is my freedom." That moment, my throat like blocked by something. Clearly when engaged, was him said, every day he is here, don't want me spend a cent myself, expensive to jewelry, cheap to a pair socks, all want him pay. Now only how long, start divide so clear. He saw my eye rims red, finally still soft hearted, hugged me. "Winter, blame me." "Don't calculate with Summer, her sister back in school, was only one didn't bully me, I just want repay kindness." This words hearing ears grow callus. "You want repay kindness, take her to your company, be assistant for you, I here can't afford!" Half hour ago, I already notified agent, fire Summer. Now, she should already know. Sure enough, outside RV came her out of control crying sound. Gavin went out a trip, came back face worse. "She just want a job, live well!" "You use 'incompetent' this reason fire her, isn't want cut her road? This bit tea pouring water work, what incompetent!" This is second time, for this assistant, fire at me. I like pushed into ice water again, trembling all over. "Gavin Chase, you for an outsider, quarrel with me?" He didn't answer. Just grabbed that coat, head not back rushed out. Chapter 2 Summer was coaxed well. Not only that, Gavin even used resources, directly arranged a female number five role for her in my drama. When he settled all this, I was lying in hotel alone with fever, legs suffered cold move a bit like needle pricking pain. Past broken leg fear surged heart. I put down all pride, called him three times, but all stone sink ocean. Later, I muddle headed lay on bed, couldn't figure out where we exactly went wrong. 2 AM, door pushed open. Gavin came back, body carrying faint flower scent, mood obviously very good. He haven't time walk to my side, outside rang gentle knock door sound again. "Gavin brother, I think still want say clear with you, I really don't need you special care, I can self reliance, I not afraid eat bitter." "Also, this clothes... I really can't want." In tone, hide not住 (can't hide) grievance. "You said as birthday gift give me before, I really very happy, just didn't expect provoke Sister unhappy, she angry fired me... I suffer bit grievance okay, but I don't want implicate you scolded." Gavin voice obviously soft down, carrying unabashed heartache. "Things sent out, where have reason take back." "Just now didn't agree well? Since she not let you be assistant, you also like acting, then go be actor, I invest for you, pave road for you, you peace mind act, don't think much." Summer lifted head, eye rims red, but still stubbornly stiff neck. "Thank you Gavin brother, career I will hard work, but this clothes since is Sister's, better return her... later still in one crew, I don't want be targeted again." Gavin silent few seconds. "Summer, don't be silly." "True climb up, is learn borrow force, not guard useless backbone, Winter seniority deep, acting good, you learn more from her, accumulate more resources." "As for these clothes, she has plenty, just angry with me, you rest assured wear." He paused, added a sentence: "Actor needs packaging, that card I gave you, rest assured swipe, buy more decent clothes." Voice fell, he pulled that coat from her arms, gently draped on her. "Wear it, don't catch cold." I closed eyes, but heard clear clear. That clothes, should be Red Carpet dress prepared for me. Door closed. Gavin turned, met my gaze, obviously stunned. "Awake?" I didn't speak, just quietly looked at him. He like realized something, explained matter of course. "Little girl condition not bad, eat this bowl rice not loss, later you bring her more, also count repay kindness for me." Tone gentle like discussing a most ordinary small matter. "I explained clear with you, later don't random jealous, I am innocent." I suddenly felt bit absurd. "I never heard want repay kindness like this, don't know thought she saved your life." "Enough, Winter! You now already jealous to can't tolerate a person long died?" I roared bit dumb. Although long knew that girl is taboo, but him so angry never had. This period he unusually busy. We haven't seen for half month, this time if not Summer, I even may not see his face. I wanted say something, but itch surging in throat let me finally closed mouth. Three days later, I finished event, back to crew again. Just arrived set, saw Summer. She wearing a set red tight dress, standing there, expression public. I looked down at Flying Pages (last minute script) sent, only felt absurd, drama about to finish, actually added dozens scenes for a zero experience newcomer alone. "Congrats Sister winning award." She looked at me smiled obedient, "Later still need guide me more ya." I already changed costume, feet wearing props high heels poked with nails, stood long feet bottom pain. "I can't teach you, change person." I sideways want go, but grabbed by her. "Sister, do you look down on us non-professional background people?" I looked up at her. She like long prepared this set rhetoric, word by word, said extra loud. "I don't want be misunderstood." "Don't want be said rely on man canary." "Me and Gavin brother are innocent, you no need use fire, report this way deal with me." "Since you so mind, better we fair compete once, see who more brilliant in this drama." I almost unstable. "Your business irrelevant to me, I also don't want participate this childish game." Summer gently laughed once. "Sister, always like this high above?" "You never lived bitter days, simply don't know what called true embarrassed." "Distress in drama, you can't act out." "But I can." "This time, I definitely will shine." Chapter 3 Before official shooting, director found me. "Today this scene heavier." He said vague, eyes full helpless, "Investor named, hard work you cooperate." I swept a glance. [Heroine forced to desperate situation, hysterical quarrel with villain, in panic slapped by villain.] Scene not long, all Summer highlight scene. I haven't opened mouth, she already stood opposite me, smiled obedient and docile. "Sister, I first time shoot this emotion scene, maybe want more takes, you bear more." She said so mouth, eyes however no half apology. Take One. "Action." She raised hand, slap fell. Slap. Sound crisp. I stunned a moment. This hit, usually is borrow force plus position, simply won't really hand on. Director didn't shout cut. She however low voice sucked breath, eye rims rapidly red, then interrupted shooting. "Sorry director, I just didn't find right state." Take Two. This time, she hand heavier. Slap. My tongue tip hit teeth, blood taste spread in mouth. Director frowned, but still didn't call stop. "Another one." Take Three, Take Four. She every time said self "emotion not in place", or not walk down scene. Every time, hand fell harder than previous. My cheek start numb, ear buzz ringing. People around start exchange eyes, whole set incomparable quiet, but no one speak. She is "Newcomer", is "One being taken care". And I, am "Senior", am "Should endure" that one. Take Five. Moment she raised hand, I finally couldn't hold. A grab her wrist, backhand! Slap. This slap, solid solid. Someone on set emit a exclaim. She whole person trend fell back, arm heavy hit metal edge of prop cabinet. "Ah!" Blood, immediately gushed out. Summer fell sit on ground, only stunned a second, immediately burst cry. "Sister... you no need so target me right..." "I just newcomer, those all script arrangement, I just want good act that's all..." "You even dislike me, also no need down so heavy hand ah..." Crying sound echoed in studio. I stood in place, palm still numb. Director finally reacted, shouted cut. Someone rushed over help her, someone call medic. That night, this video cut head cut tail sent on Trending. [Post-award Set Out of Control, Violent Beating Newcomer Actor] Video no background sound. Only my that slap, and picture she fell crying. Comment section one side fall. [Winter Leigh just got few awards what so cow, just bully people like this?] [Heard that newcomer was her assistant before, long term bullied by her, this time chance appear same scene, must be provoked Winter unhappy, so take chance suppress!] [Last time exposed Winter mistreat assistant, let people faint on red carpet! Turns out previous bad person acted so good, all true color act ah!] All old debts, dug out in a brain. I just prepared post statement, agent haven't finished typing, door pushed open. Gavin face ugly. "Winter are you crazy?" He grabbed my arm, hand strength big, pinched me very pain. "Filming only, you as to down so ruthless hand? Little girl arm almost disfigured, do you know?" I didn't speak. Just slowly moved ice bag on face away. Swollen cheek exposed under light. He stunned a bit. Tone finally slow down. "...She is newcomer, don't know measure." "You are senior, can't you let a bit?" I laughed once. "I still want how let, send this side face up let her slap happy?" I put tablet on table, click open a folder. "This is set complete surveillance." "I long let people backup." Picture clear, timeline complete. Gavin face changed. "Can't post!" He immediately reach hand press screen. "She just entered industry, you release this, her whole life ruined." "Not debut yet bully senior, to a newcomer is fatal." I looked at him, suddenly felt very strange. "Then me?" He opened mouth. I continue say: "I deserve be beaten, be scolded, be buckled all dirty water?" I took back tablet. "I not only want post, also want break up with you, since I already not your first choice, we no need together." "What nonsense you talking?" He anxious, come up want grab my hand again, slapped away by me. "You now eyes, heart simply no me, I injured bullied, you actually still stand on side hurting me, I not masochist."
