These days, Jasmine was obsessed with filming and seldom found Amanda finding fault with her, so she thought Amanda had stopped making trouble and didn’t find herself spotted yet.
Finishing her scenes, Jasmine’s head was covered with big drops of perspiration, and went to her seat and sat down. She was so thirsty that she picked up her bottle, twisted the cap, and was prepared to drink water.
"Em, didn’t I tighten the cap yet?" Jasmine tried to recall it, but it didn’t ring a bell. So she gulped the water without having second thoughts.
Lily, pretending to read the script beside, saw what happened, knew the plot had succeeded, and took out her cellphone and texted Amanda.
"Amanda, Jasmine has drunk a gulp of water." Said Lily.
"Well done. I will come seeing what going down later." Holding her cellphone, Amanda said with a sneer. She did want to see Jasmine making a fool of herself.
Jasmine finished the bottle of water, a make-up girl fixed her makeup, and she started rehearsing lines with another. The director came and said, "Jasmine, have you had a good rest? We are ready here."
"Well, director, I am ready!" Said Jasmine. She stood up, did some stretches to loosen up, and then wen into the studio lively and energetically.
"Being young is great. You are enthusiastic about everything." The director couldn’t help admiring her.
At first, Jasmine only felt very hot. After all, she had to wear ancient costume in summer. However, her stomach began growling, and she was very sure that she was not hungry. The sound was amplified for several times in the studio.
She was rather embarrassed for the moment.
"Cut!" The director had to suspend the filming because of the loud sound. "Jasmine, what’s up? Are you starving?"
"No, I am not. I’m so sorry!" Jasmine was rather embarrassed and apologized to the crew.
"Okay, let’s get back to filming. Everybody ready? Three, two, one, action!"
With the order of the director, Jasmine tried to come into her own.
However, the advance of filming didn’t get her into the state yet. She started feeling a dull pain in her stomach. But looking at the actor opposite and the crew, she didn’t have the heart to disrupt them.
"Cut!" The director called out again while Jasmine was in doubt.
"What’s yous problem, Jasmine? This scene is about the young lady’s falling in love. How could you act miserable as well as annoyed? It is not a pathos drama." Said the director. Looking at the director frowning, Jasmine knew that he was not satisfied with her performance.
"I’m so sorry, director. I will pay more attention to the facial expressions!" Said Jasmine. "What a headache. Why did I feel a stomachache by fits and starts? It will be so embarrassing to go to the bathroom and waste the time of all." She thought.
"Let’s try one more time." It was the third time that the director gave order of action. He had obviously run out of patience, for he thought it was such an easy scene.
This time, not long after action, Jasmine felt her bowels stirred. The pain was more than she could stand. "Please stop, director! My stomach hurts so much that I couldn’t stand any longer!" After saying this, she rushed toward the bathroom disregard of wearing the complicated costume. She would have shat in her pants if she was slow!
The moment she sat on the toilet, she felt relieved all at once. However, the stomach spasms and pain didn’t stop. She felt like she could no longer leave the toilet.
And the group on site were rather upset. Crossing his arms and his face like a thundercloud, the director asked the assistant in the crew what had happened to Jasmine. However, the assistant knew nothing about it, and scratched the head and said, "I have no ideal. Maybe she had got a run."
"Why did she come today since she had got a run? She is wasting our time. What the hell!" The director sat down angrily, seeming like waiting for Jasmine and teaching her a good lesson.
Twenty minutes later, Jasmine pressed her waist, and walked slowly out of the bathroom. Looking at this, the director became more angry.
"Jasmine, you should have informed us early if you didn’t feel well. Don’t hold on next time." Sitting in the chair, the director looked at Jasmine seriously. "You see, all of us have wasted half a day because of you."
Looking at the director’s face darkened, Jasmine was ashamed of herself. "Director, I’m really sorry. I wasted you all so much time. I promise it will never happen again!" After saying this, she bowed low to the crew.
The director was planing to make her suffer for it, however, he let it go, seeing her care ans sincerity. "Get up, Jasmine. Since you are sick today, just go back and have a good rest." The director pulled a long face, and then waved the crew to get ready for the next scene.
Looking at everyone being busy, Jasmine felt rather bad. "Why did I have got a run today? And wasted the crew so much time. Why, the director must have thought I am unreliable." She felt mixed feelings for a while, having no choice but to drag her weak body back to her room for a rest.
Amanda and Lily left the studio after Jasmine. On the way, They felt rather happy because Jasmine had acted like a clown today. "Sis, think of the look of the little bitch today. Is it hilarious?" Lily flattered Amanda, took her arm, and started discussing about Jasmine.
"She deserves it." Said Amands, the corners of Amanda’s mouth curving up. "She is such an eye candy that she could only put on an act and fool us at first."
"Yes, it is unexpected that she was so stubborn that the progress of all had been delayed." Said Lily.
"It’s just the beginning. Little bitch is always little bitch. She only knows how to use the puppy-dog eyes trick, and the director didn’t blame her much at last." Said Amanda. Thinking of the scene that Jasmine bowed low to the crew, she felt more angry.
"Calm down, sis." Said Lily. She thought for a while and said, "We have plenty of opportunities!"
"Enlighten me." Said Amanda. As long as when it came to retaliating Jasmine, she would never lack interests.
"We could screw up her costumes and props. Think about it, for example, her skirt is stepped and torn suddenly, or she slips and falls on her face."
"I see." Said Amanda. It made her excited to think of Jasmine falling on her face. "Come to me room, and let’s make a good plan."
"Okay, sis. We can’t spare the little bitch!"
Then walked into Amanda’s room arm in arm, and started making a new plot against Jasmine.
