Selene, who had been watching the scene was shocked by Xavier’s strength but she nearly lost her due to the director’s carelessness. So, she didn’t bother to ddle. The director deserved the beating he was getting right now.
"You are lucky nothing serious happened to her, else, you won’t be alive to see the sunset," Xavier threatened before throwing the director out of his way. He didn’t want his rage to consu him entirely, else, the director’s blood would have already splattered on the ground.
Xavier didn’t need to say the next word when the director imdiately ran for his life. His head was bleeding and he felt he would pass out in any minute now. He needed the doctor to co treat him imdiately.
Allison and Natalie who were behind the door pitied the director a little before looking away as if they hadn’t heard or seen anything.
"You almost killed him," Selene said, but a small smile was on her lips. The director got what he deserved.
"I almost did," Xavier shrugged. "But his death wouldn’t be worth anything."
"I hope next ti, he will get a stunt double or at least take proper precautions when we have to do stunts."
"Oh, there won’t be a next ti for him. His career is over," Xavier responded.
Selene stared at him, a little shocked but his statent was predictable. Such a director could put actors’ lives in danger. All he would do was compensate the family of the actor and move on with his life. Then another actor dies—it would just keep on repeating itself.
Xavier assisted Selene with her crouches when it was ti to head ho.
The incident that happened at the set was imdiately spread from one staff to the other, and the video was released. Everyone showered their sympathy to Selene while so bashed her for not knowing how to climb properly. Selene’s fans imdiately ca to her defense and bashed the haters.
Then the news report of Director Jim, the director who was in charge of directing Shadows Of Deception got out about him getting blacklisted. No one showed him pity since he had endangered the lives of many actors.
A lawsuit was filed against him and he spent the rest of the year in prison. It turned out he’d gotten a low quality stunt harness.
A new director, Jax, was to replace the forr director.
Selene was called in for a eting at the Dreamscape building so that director Jax could introduce himself while the movie was being further discussed.
Xavier had offered to assist Selene but she imdiately objected. He had an important eting at his company and she wouldn’t want to be a burden to him. She insisted on having Ito take her.
As soon as Selene stepped foot into the Dreamscape building, everyone started wishing her a get-well-soon ssage.
Amidst the crowd that was wishing her a get well soon, Selene recognized soone who was glaring at her.
’My favorite person is here,’ she thought to herself while she smiled at everyone.
When they were done, they dispersed to continue with their work.
"Get well soon, Selene. Get well soon, Selene. You must love all the attention, don’t you?" Michelle questioned Selene with a hint of disdain in her tone which Selene picked up imdiately, but it didn’t bother her one bit.
"What can I say? Everyone loves ." Selene added salt to Michelle’s wounds. When she saw the latter silently grit her teeth in anger, she felt satisfied.
Since Michelle left a month after the movie tour of The Sinner began, Selene hadn’t seen her again.
"And what about you, how have you been taking care of your husband Richard? I hope you haven’t killed him out of anger."
Michelle’s eyes grew suspicious when she heard Selene.
"How do you know that?" She questioned.
"Isn’t it obvious? You have been so busy and what could be keeping you so busy if not Richard?" Selene questioned back.
She suddenly sighed.
"You’ve already lost a lot of weight too. It must not have been easy for you. Now, I’m a little worried for you. I hope you don’t fade away."
Selene’s voice was so soft and caring that if anyone heard it, they would think she was concerned for Michelle when it was the opposite.
Michelle clenched her fist, her fingernails digging into her skin, while her knuckles turned white.
Out of anger, Michelle kicked one of Selene’s crouches away, startling her. When her leg went for the next one, Selene hit Michelle’s leg with it, drawing out a painful yelp from her mouth.
When everyone turned to look at them, Selene grabbed her leg in pain as if she was the one who had been hurt.
"Michelle, why would you kick my crouches away?" Selene questioned Michelle with tears pooled in her eyes.
Everyone’s eyes fell on the crouches that had landed a few feet away from Selene—she only had one left.
"She doesn’t feel an ounce of sha for herself, kicking Selene’s crouches away like that."
"I thought both of them were in good terms. Seems like Michelle is still envious of Selene."
Michelle was too baffled to respond. Her left leg was hurting because Selene had hit her hard with her crouches, and now, everyone was siding with Selene just because she threw latters crouch away.
She glared at Selene who held a look of disbelief on her face.
"Michelle, you will have to pick up the crouch since you were the one that threw it away," Selene reasoned.
Michelle gritted her teeth. People were already starting to record the scene. She couldn’t afford another scandalous incident.
Michelle forced her feet to walk to the crouch and picked it up, then she handed it over to Selene.
"It’s a good thing you didn’t try to argue with on this one. It seems having a cara around keeps your attitude in control," Selene mocked.
She gave Michelle a small hug before she waved her goodbye and left the latter to glare at her out of spite.
