The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar! Chapter 13: Maya Monroe’s Performance Has a Spark of Life

Maya Monroe usually loves extravagance and waste; she never forgets to bring all kinds of costics and clothes, along with her collection of various luxury brands to the set.

It’s unbelievable that she can fit everything in several suitcases.

Maya Monroe has been criticized on social dia for this, ruining quite a bit of her public image.

Ryan once advised her, but Maya’s spoiled temperant made it impossible for her to listen to him.

Scott couldn’t gauge Maya’s thoughts and asked again, "Maya, do you really not have any other luggage? Or have you already prepared another car?"

Maya slightly frowned, unable to understand what he was saying.

"Why would I bring so many things? Carrying them is tiring!"

Maya originally didn’t like trouble, especially since in her previous world she survived on a deserted island, relying on her own resourcefulness for materials. She lasted until the end with the male and female protagonists.

Scott took a serious look at Maya this ti.

She was dressed simply, and though she wore no makeup, her striking features were enough to catch the eye.

Actually, Maya looked great like this; exaggerated makeup usually cut her natural charm in half.

Scott was extrely shocked because he linked this to another almost impossible thing.

Could it be that Maya finally had an epiphany?

First, she aced the audition and now understands how to improve her taste to avoid negative attention...

Scott was nearly moved to tears.

"Maya, it’s wonderful that you think this way! If Ryan knew, he’d definitely be happy for you!!"

Maya’s expression beca slightly complex; she couldn’t understand Scott’s words. Was this a unique way of communicating he had with the original Maya?

Was there sothing she overlooked?

"Let’s go quickly."

Maya avoided the topic.

Scott beca even more convinced of his previous thoughts; Maya was now worried about being late for the set!

On the first day Maya Monroe joined the group, Ryan Spencer had already smoothed out relations for her.

"Director Morgan, rember our last collaboration wasn’t too long ago."

Shane Morgan and Ryan Spencer had crossed paths before, and they quite admired each other.

Shane Morgan laughed, "Last ti it was Faye, this ti it’s Maya. The artists you bring never disappoint ."

Faye Jacobs, winner of the last Golden Dove Best Actress Award, is very famous in the industry and currently expanding internationally.

Ryan was slightly taken aback.

He knew Shane Morgan had a straightforward temperant and originally thought Shane would be very unhappy with Maya Monroe’s backdoor dealings.

Despite thinking this, Ryan kept a gentle smile on his face and adjusted his glasses: "Although Maya’s acting isn’t particularly outstanding yet, she’s really eager to improve!"

Shane Morgan laughed heartily at this: "You’re so modest! In all my years as a director, I’ve never encountered soone with such spirited acting as Maya. Collaborating with her is my honor; I can’t believe I discovered a live Luna!"

"Oh?"

Shane Morgan and Ryan Spencer had a good relationship, so he added a few more words: "Ryan, your Maya taught a lesson! I used to be confused by gossip, nearly missing out on such an excellent actress!"

Ryan’s mind raced; when did Maya leave such a good impression on Shane?

Listening to Shane’s tone, could it be that his unruly artist was actually a talented actress with impressive skills?

Ryan found it hard to believe himself.

Ryan laughed and responded casually.

The rest of the conversation could wait for another day to ask Maya.

"Then please bear with us for the upcoming period..."

The filming location for "Wandering Beyond the Horizon" is Mirage Studios, a historical and nationwide largest film shooting base.

At this ti, the main cast had almost gathered.

"Co over and take one, Leo got everyone milk tea!" Leo Lancaster’s assistant called out.

"Can’t believe I’m lucky enough to collaborate with Leo this ti. I love your work, especially as Luke Ray in ’Empty City’! I still haven’t gotten over it..."

Kiki Monroe’s eyes sparkled as she held a cup of milk tea. Speaking as a fan, Leo surely felt so goodwill towards her.

Leo’s gentle deanor often masked a distant nature, but hearing Kiki Monroe’s words, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Really? Thank you for your recognition."

Kiki Monroe was captivated by his smile for a mont and then said, "There’s a scene of yours I don’t quite understand; could I trouble you to explain, Leo?"

"Of course."

Leo was always polite and courteous, quite the opposite of Maya’s notorious reputation, Leo’s na was highly esteed in the industry.

Kiki Monroe was overjoyed; her luck had been great lately, not only landing the lead role in a major production but also acting alongside an award-winning actor—a fortune many envied.

Speaking of landing the role of "Ashley Shaw," Kiki Monroe felt so pride.

Although Maya Monroe snatched away the supporting female lead role she was fond of using unscrupulous ans, the leading actress, Miranda Moss, had recently suffered an accident and couldn’t continue shooting.

Kiki Monroe directly networked with the producer Felix Price through a director who had previously favored her, begging for a chance to perform.

The rest naturally fell into place; Kiki’s performance in the audition was impressive, easing her way through Shane Morgan’s judgnt.

This magnificent lead role finally landed upon her!

"Kiki Monroe’s connections in the industry are indeed impressive; didn’t expect her to chat so naturally with Leo—could they have known each other before?"

"Building a good relationship with Leo is only beneficial for future developnt; their upcoming shooting should be harmonious!"

"It’s uncertain if they were acquainted, but seeing them chatting enthusiastically, becoming friends wouldn’t be surprising!"

...

Kiki could hear the surrounding talk, and her smile broadened: "Leo, could we exchange contact information? It’ll be easier to get in touch for any matters on set!"

Leo thought for a mont and smiled, "Certainly."

Actually, Leo had t Kiki briefly before, and he knew she was the newly returned second daughter of the Monroe Family—Maya’s sister.

However, on the set, neither of them ntioned past family connections or grievances.

Satisfied, Kiki shared her number, eyes lingering on Leo’s side profile.

Today she wore light-colored clothes, receiving many complints for her gentle elegance.

Regrettably, Leo was just busy saving her number, not averting his gaze towards her at all.

Kiki felt slightly uncomfortable and was about to say sothing when she saw Leo suddenly turned to look in a direction.

Kiki followed his line of sight.

The person moving lazily was none other than Maya Monroe!
