Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Makeup Room Taken Over

Serena Summers frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, this is my dressing room, yours is next door."

Teresa Hamilton’s face changed instantly, but she quickly regained her confidence, "Just because you say it’s yours, it’s yours? Is your name written on it, or did you buy it? If not, then it’s available for anyone to use, first come first serve."

"Indeed, there’s no name written, but yesterday in the group chat when the dressing rooms were assigned, you didn’t raise any objections, so you should strictly comply," Serena retorted.

Last night, Vincent Carter had notified everyone in the group chat and even specifically asked if anyone wanted to switch, but Teresa Hamilton didn’t say a word.

Yet the following day, she occupied Serena Summers’ dressing room.

"I didn’t see the message last night!"

Teresa Hamilton crossed her arms, mocking Serena with a sneer, "You, who got into the crew relying on connections, relying on the director’s influence, what right do you have to use such a good dressing room? You just want to use all of us as a stepping stone into the entertainment industry, don’t you!"

She stared at Serena’s face, feeling an uncontrollable surge of jealousy.

Why should someone get everything she had to sacrifice so much for so easily?

What’s so great about Serena Summers?

Is it just because she has a pretty face?

She’s even managed to bewitch Vincent Carter, known for his impartiality in the industry, to the point he’d break his own rules.

Why does she deserve this?

Outside the door, quite a crowd seeking excitement had gathered, including actors and many staff members, yet no one stepped in to intervene.

Everyone was eagerly waiting at the door, not wanting to miss out on the drama.

Serena Summers looked downward, smiling and shaking her head.

She had never intended to enter the entertainment industry; she was just forcefully pulled in by Vincent Carter to help.

Everyone on set tacitly understood this, and she didn’t expect Teresa Hamilton would pick a quarrel using this as an excuse.

"I got in here by my own merit, if you think it’s unfair, go talk to Vincent Carter about it. This is not a reason for you to take someone else’s dressing room."

Serena didn’t want to argue, but if it could happen once, it could happen again and again...

If she quietly tolerated it today, everyone would think she was easy to bully.

"You! You..." Teresa Hamilton was so angry her face turned red, but she was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, stuttering for a long while, finally only managed to glare at Serena with furious eyes.

"What’s going on here?" Suddenly, a soft female voice came from the doorway, with a hint of inquiry.

"Sister Tanner!"

The crowd parted to let Claire Tanner come in.

Seeing Claire Tanner, Teresa Hamilton rushed over as if seeing a savior, "Sister Tanner, you must stand up for me!"

Claire Tanner looked around the dressing room, finally resting her gaze on Serena, "What happened?"

Before Serena could speak, Teresa Hamilton exaggeratedly retold the events.

Naturally, her version was biased towards herself.

However, Claire Tanner still picked up on some nuances, "If I remember correctly, this dressing room was originally Serena’s, why are you here?"

Teresa Hamilton’s face stiffened, and she explained with a forced smile, "The lighting in that dressing room is too dim, it affects makeup application, and my assistant and team are cramped in there, there’s simply no room to move."

Her tone was full of complaints.

Claire Tanner raised an eyebrow and stared at her coldly, "My makeup room is big and well-lit, do you need me to give it up for you?"

Having been in the industry for so long, Claire Tanner was superior in both age and experience compared to Teresa Hamilton.

Teresa Hamilton’s face suddenly turned pale, and she dejectedly withdrew her hand, "No, it’s not necessary. I think mine is quite good."

After saying that, she left with her team.

Before leaving, she fiercely glared at Serena Summers, resentment clear in her eyes.

Claire Tanner leaned towards Serena Summers and whispered, "Don’t bother with her, the filming is already done, just endure the afternoon and it will be over."

Serena Summers nodded, "Thank you today, Sister Tanner."

Claire Tanner waved her hand nonchalantly, "Why so formal with me? Alright, the shooting is about to start, go change your clothes and do your makeup."

Having said that, she turned around and left.

When Serena Summers came out of the makeup room in her new clothes, most of the people had already arrived.

The moment she walked out, she instantly attracted the attention of everyone; her cheongsam seemed tailor-made for her, accentuating her figure impeccably. The dark cyan fabric was soft and delicate, adding a touch of gentle grace to her dignified appearance.

Her clear and distinct eyes sparkled under the lights with a dazzling brilliance, so mesmerizing that it was hard to look away.

Vincent Carter had specifically invited the most professional makeup artist. Although the makeup was subtly elegant, it magnified every inch of her facial features, rendering her beauty ineffable.

A sharp intake of breath was heard from the crowd, breaking the surrounding silence.

People slowly came back to their senses.

Vincent Carter was the first to approach, displaying a satisfied smile, "Indeed, you look beautiful like this, the makeup artist was well worth it."

This treatment was not even accorded to the leading actors and actresses.

But no one dared to say anything, not only because everyone was aware of the relationship between Serena Summers and Vincent Carter, but more so because she deserved it.

"Isn’t it too exaggerated?" Serena Summers felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes, as a faint blush crept up her cheeks.

"Not at all exaggerated, you probably have no idea the charm of your own face," teased Vincent Carter with a smile.

He walked over and waved to everyone, "Let’s prepare, we’ll start with a group photo first, then take a few of the couple photos."

The first few photos were group pictures of the whole crew, followed by the lead actors’ couple photos.

When it was Serena Summer’s turn, the second male lead approached her blushing, and reached out his hand, "Sister Serena, shall we?"

Serena Summers hesitated for a moment and did not extend her hand, instead smiling at him, "Sure, let’s go."

What a joke! She was already a married woman.

If a certain someone saw this, he’d definitely be jealous again!

Just as she thought of Lucas Shaw, she saw a tall figure entering through the door.

He exchanged a few words with Vincent Carter and sat down next to him.

He slowly looked up, his eyes meeting Serena Summers’.

They weren’t close enough for her to see the expression in his eyes clearly, but she instinctively sensed danger.

She waved at Lucas Shaw, then was called away for the photoshoot.

The roles of the second male and female leads were minimal, but they played a crucial role in driving the plot, and their tragic ending was hard for many to accept.
