Chapter 201
Six guests, now down to three.
But the fourth guest was nowhere to be seen.
The atmosphere in the green room was tense, thanks to Eileen’s dissatisfaction with everyone.
After waiting for ten minutes, Jaqueline couldn’t sit still anymore and headed to the bathroom.
When she returned, Jaqueline came with news, “One of the guests isn’t coming!”
Hearing this, Eileen and Bartley turned to look at her.
Jaqueline nodded and said, “Yeah, it’s a total mess out there. For some unknown reason, this guest
has bailed last minute. Apparently, he’s already left the country, no way to call him back.”
Eileen was shocked and blurted out, “The penalty for breach of contract is a whopping half a million!”
Jaqueline squinted and said, “This guy gave up the event. He must be loaded, right?”
Is there really someone in this world who doesn’t care about money? Eileen couldn’t comprehend.
At the same time, she couldn’t hide her jealousy.
If she was loaded, she could also ditch the event, she could also go abroad, she could roam around
freely, she would never have to film this crappy show!
Just then, the door to the green room was pushed open again.
The fourth guest had arrived.
A handsome and dashing young man with an outstanding demeanor walked in.
He smiled and waved at the three in the room, saying, “Hey.”
When they realized who he was, Eileen, Simon, and Jaqueline were all stunned.
Jarvis Dave?
Jarvis was on the show?
Jarvis was a multi-talented singer who, in his five years in the industry, had released seven albums,
each of them top three in national sales. He’s a talented, capable, and handsome superstar,
unmatched by others.
He’s also an actor. Even though he hadn’t done many films, his acting was top-notch, truly a rare talent
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtamong the younger generation of artists.
Over the past two years, the entertainment circle had been circulating such a sentence.
While the popularity of celebrities was ever-changing, Jarvis remained steady.
This proved just how stable Jarvis’s position was in the world of shifting popularity.
No one expected Jarvis to be on the show.
The green room was silent for a moment.
The handsome young man smiled at the three in the room, playfully asking, “You guys don’t seem too
happy to see me?”
Jaqueline quickly stood up, her face flushed, “Of course, we’re happy… Mr. Dave, please, have a seat!”
Jarvis didn’t sit. He walked up, shaking hands with each of them.
Despite being the most famous and high-profile among them, he was willing to put aside his status and
shake hands with everyone.
His face was always kind and smiling.
The last person Jarvis greeted was Eileen. Eileen, who had no good attitude towards either Jaqueline
or Simon, now stood up.
She slightly bowed to Jarvis, shook his hand, and introduced herself, “I’m Eileen.”
Jarvis smiled at her and said, “I’m Jarvis.”
In the lounge, the atmosphere became more lively with the presence of a male guest who seemed
easy to get along with. Eileen sat on the couch, lifting her eyes to see Jarvis across from her.
Eileen had known Jarvis before.
In the past, Eileen had been questioned online and to make ends meet, she had filmed many low-
quality movies for Sarah Roach.
Until she was 24, in the last year of her life, a director saw potential in her and gave her a good role.
That role led to a nomination for Best Supporting Actress the following year.
That film was one of the highlights of Eileen’s past, and the male lead of the film was Jarvis.
Eileen and Jarvis had been coworkers for too long to remember anything else, but there was one thing
that stuck with Eileen. Someone had maliciously sent her a terrifying package. When she opened it,
she found dead rats inside.
Eileen didn’t react much, but Jarvis who was next to her did.
He quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
He protected her and called for the staff to handle the situation.
When the staff took the box away, Jarvis turned back to her, looking concerned and asked in a soft
voice, “Are you okay?” Most of her past was blurry, but she remembered Jarvis.
He didn’t let her negative news affect him, treating her like an ordinary person, communicating with her
like a normal friend.
Jarvis was a really good person.
Simon kept glancing at Eileen.
When he noticed Eileen stealing glances at Jarvis for the third time, Simon started to get uneasy.
He remembered his own mission.
So, he finally pulled out his phone and sent a message to Mr. Reed on WhatsApp.
The message read, “Urgent.”
Egbert didn’t reply, he might not be available.
Simon thought for a while and sent another message, “Mr. Reed, if Eileen’s boyfriend is someone else,
will you still dote on me?”
There was still no reply from the other end.
A few minutes later, a staff member came in and apologized. They would have to wait a little longer.
One artist couldn’t attend due to unforeseen circumstances, and another’s flight was delayed. These
two people had held up the entire show’s schedule, wasting everyone’s time.
At this point, Eileen thought for a moment and stood up, “I want to see the director.”
If someone couldn’t attend the event, there would need to be a replacement.
The director looked at Eileen and after a moment asked, “You’re saying, you recommend Phyllis?”
Eileen nodded, “If you think she’s suitable, then yes.”
Just half an hour ago, this domineering woman, who nearly scared their staff to death, was now being
so humble?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe director stared at Eileen for a long time before finally saying, “Is she in town now? If she can come
immediately, we’ll use her.”
Eileen instantly replied, “She’s local, I’ll ring her up right now.”
Eileen dialed Phyllis and Phyllis was over the moon!
She had just been posting on Facebook about not finding a job due to her tarnished image.
She didn’t expect Eileen to get her a job right away!
Phyllis quickly responded, “I’ll definitely be there in half an hour!”
Half an hour later, Phyllis arrived in high spirits. The director looked at her a few times, and then had
her put on makeup.
Phyllis waved excitedly at Eileen.
Eileen smiled back, nodding her head, signaling for Phyllis to head to makeup.
After Phyllis left, Eileen was about to head back to the green room when the director stopped her, “Hold
up a sec.”
Eileen halted, looking at the director.
The director said, “I respected you, you gotta respect me too, that’s not too much to ask, right?”
Eileen suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The director added, “You gotta walk through Wicked Woods again, but this time, no shutting your eyes!”
Eileen was speechless.
A few minutes later, Jarvis was chatting with Bartley and Jacqueline in the green room.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from outside.
All three of them were startled and looked towards the door.
Jarvis opened the door, grabbed a passing crew member and asked, “What the heck just happened?”
The crew member nervously said, “The director wanted to get back at one of the previous crew
members, so he sent Satan to scare Eileen…”
“But Eileen socked the one playing the role of Satan! She even shoved Satan into the Desolate
Mausoleums! The bottom of the Mausoleums’ river is made of wood and it collapsed, taking down the
Bridge of Perdition with it! When the director came out to give her a piece of his mind, he stepped on a
rock from the Bridge of Perdition, took a tumble and knocked over a pot of oil, his butt got burned!”
The show crew finally had to call the emergency services!
