    I was a bit bored in the days of waiting for the shoot.

    Now, Shirley's friends couldn’t be touched, and I was afraid of being discovered by Mary's friends at the same time. Therefore, I was extraordinarily bored.

    At this time, the phone rang, and it showed the caller was Zhou.

    I carefully searched the name in my memory and suddenly remembered that it was the little girl who accompanied me to the advertisement and audition when I just became Mary. Oh, not a little girl, because I was also twenty-three years old! I was also a young girl!

    The Zhou, at first glance, was the kind of person who was pure and harmless. It seemed that due to she was Mary’s classmate and girlfriend, they should be familiar with each other! But after these times we got together, she didn’t have any doubt about my identity, and she didn’t notice anything unusual. It appeared that it was okay to stay with Zhou.

    So, I was relieved to pick up the phone. A lazy voice came from the other side, "Mary! What are you doing there? I haven't seen you for a few days!"

    "I am at home! So bored! Do you want to go out shopping?" I was wondering how to spend these days!

    On hearing about shopping, Zhou shouted like all the girls of her age, "Ok! Good! Let's go shopping! I haven't been shopping for a long time!"

    After the appointment, I simply spruced up, went out to call a taxi and headed to the meeting place.

    In fact, I also liked shopping very much. Looking at those dazzling array of goods, I felt life was extraordinarily full and happy. However, I seldom went shopping before. After all, with the popularity of Shirley, shopping could also get the headlines by the media. No matter how tightly I was wrapped up, it could also be recognized.

    Actually, it was not bad. At least I could go shopping without the fear of being recognized. I didn’t need to care about the image, didn’t need to disguise anything, it was good enough.

    Arrived at the appointed place, just got off the taxi, I saw a beautiful woman in a short skirt and high heels waving at me and shouting, "Mary, here!"

    I had to say, beauty was a scenery line everywhere. Only Zhou had attracted a lot of people's attention, not to mention the two of us together!

    A couple passed us by. As they just walked over, we heard the girl shouting at her boyfriend, "Where are your eyes? Can't you walk when seeing the pretty girls?!"

    Zhou and I couldn't help laughing. It seemed that youth was good! This feeling of carefree was also very nice!

    Beauty was also very popular when they went to the store. The passers-by might buy the clothes that they had tried. Didn’t it a free model?

    After the shopping, we found a coffee house to have a rest with full a harvest.

    "By the way, Mary, why can’t I see you in the company recently? What are you busy with exactly?" Zhou asked me casually as she pressed her weak calf due to the high heels.

    I nodded, thought about it, and shook my head.

    Zhou was even more confused. She asked, "What do you mean? Nodding and shaking…"

    I remembered that Zhou didn’t know I had canceled the contract with the company! "It’s a long story! Well, do you remember the last time we went to the audition?"

    Zhou nodded and said, "Of course! It was the time that you got the script!" Speaking of that, Zhou looked obviously excited, and recalled, "You are so cool! You completely defeated Lauren at that time. Hum, let her laugh at us every day! Come a cropper in the end?! Her strength is not as good as others, in other words, she is totally a well-connected individual."

    Speaking of this, Zhou suddenly realized that something was wrong. She asked, "By the way, Mary, why didn't you begin to shoot?! Isn't that the show already started? How do you still have time to go shopping with me ?!"

    I forced a smile and said, "Just as you said, due to the strength of her relationship, my role was given to Lauren by Ryan!"

    "What?" Zhou was discontented. She stood up, banging the table, "To Lauren?"

    The waiter heard the noise and rushed to our table, asked nervously, "Miss, the food you ordered will be served soon. I have already hurry it up, so sorry!"

    The waiter made both of us dumbfounding. We could only follow his words, cleared the throat and pretended to show some anger. "Hurry it up? Can't you be faster directly?!" We were both actors, it was so easy for us to hide embarrassment with a little anger in the performance.

    The waiter quickly apologized, saying that he would let the chef make it for us in advance.

    After he left, Zhou learned the lesson. This time, her voice was not so loud, but still couldn’t hide her anger. She shouted angrily, "Lauren is too arrogant. She even openly robbed your role! And Ryan, he’s gone too far! It’s too obvious that he is partial to Lauren. And definitely, he bribed the producer and the director before changing the character that belonged to you!"

    I nodded and agreed with her. Then I went on to say, "So, I fired Ryan! After that, he is no longer my agent! He can’t control my freedom anymore! And he can't have the chance to replace my role."

    "Really?" Zhou said with envy, and continued to ask, "We have a contract! There are still three years! Do you have to pay the breaching fee?"

    "Yeah. So, I paid it to redeem myself!" I explained.

    Zhou became more envious and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

    It occurred to me that with Mary’s economic strength, it would be difficult for her to pay it. Otherwise, it would not be possible for her to receive so many unfair treatments and still had to stay in this company, being bullied by others.

    I could only make a lie and said, "My sister Tina has some scholarships in college, so I don't have to work so hard to make money. Besides, I have some savings and my new agent is willing to help me, so I dare to leave so boldly."

    Zhou nodded, with her face full of envy. She asked, "What about your current agent?"
