8 Chapter 8

"Look at what you did! Now your face is all puffy! Just because I am not around does not mean you are free to eat whatever you want!"

Rissa crossed her arms on her chest as she looked at Francheska. She just had changed her clothes into a classical yet simple apple green strapless gown. It has a pale green embroidered silk with an asymmetrical over panel revealing a less-heavily embroidered underskirt. Francheska will play the role of an earth goddess in a perfume commercial today.

"But I just got hungry." Francheska refuted.

"I did not forbid you to eat anything. But you can just order a plate of vegetable sticks for your dinner last night. You have a commercial to shoot today!"

"I do not-"

"Stop trying to tell me that you did not know it. No one will believe you."

"Why are you getting mad? Yesterday is my cheat day, you know?"

"And you were supposed to eat one dessert only! Look how puffy you look! You look like a stuffed rabbit ready to be slaughtered!"

Francheska pouted her lips as she leaned her back on the chair. Francheska is not one of those blessed women in the world who never gets fat no matter how much they have eaten. Francheska has a type of physique where she will easily get fat after eating a few more plates of food. Though she can also easily gets slimmer after running on the treadmill for two hours.

"Do not worry, Ms. Rissa. Ms. Francheska's puffiness is not that obvious. We can easily conceal it with a little foundation on her face." The make-up artist named Lillie said with a smile.

"See! We now have our solution here!" Francheska said with a smile. "If I knew that we can solve it this easily, I should have eaten a bowl of candied fruits too!"

Rissa glared at Francheska after she heard her remarks.

"Rissa, stop frowning. You will get white hair if you continue that." Francheska stated.

"And that will be because of you!" countered Rissa.

"Rissa, my fans will be more glad if they know that I am eating well. So do not worry about my puffiness. This will give me more charms on today's shoot." Francheska reassured her manager as she cupped her face with her two little hands.

"That's right, Ms. Rissa. Nowadays, fans want their idols to be healthy and let them eat the food they want." The make-up artist interjected trying to help Francheska from her manager's wrath.

"Do not try to be her ally, Lillie. Or else, Francheska might become a fattened pig before the weekends."

"Hey!"

Seeing the lively interaction of Francheska and her manager, the make-up artist together with the other staff for this commercial shoot has a smile on their faces. They thought Francheska will be hard to work with since she is a famous international star. But contrary to their expectation, Francheska is very polite and listens well to the instruction given to her. This type of idol is much preferred by the staff rather than those stars who act almighty all the time.

After the make-up artist finished her work, she left Francheska and her manager for a while to ask the director if she still needs to add more details on Francheska's make-up. Francheska is reading and memorizing her lines for the commercial shoot while Rissa is double-checking her artist's schedule for today.

"Rissa, guess who I had met yesterday?"

"Who?" Rissa asked without looking at Francheska.

"The two-faced snake and the fraud prince."

Rissa stopped what she was doing and hastily looks at Francheska. She observed her face to see if there were slight changes in her expression. When Rissa did not see anything, she let out a sigh of relief and sat beside her artist.

"So how did you met them last night?"

"I think it was a coincidence. Maybe they had a date last night and accidentally saw me as I waited for my order to arrived."

"Tch. I bet that bitch planned it all from the start." Rissa said as she gritted her teeth. Just thinking of that woman makes her blood boil in anger.

"Whatever. There is nothing new about it anyway. The same old tactic but still works like a charm for her." Francheska commented as she put the scripts on the small table.

"Did she bully you? Or did she asked that fool to insult you?"

"Rachel will never dare to do it. Not in front of those people around us." Francheska stated. "As for that fraud prince, he will never do the first move without his owner's orders."

"Well, you have a point there." Rissa thoughtfully said. "Just do not let them bully you next time. You got it?"

"Rissa, I've been in the entertainment industry for seven years. I had already experienced being bullied by others. In addition to my experiences with those vermin, it would be a loss if I did not learn how to deal with it, right?"

"Heh. And that is the reason why you are my top artist!" announced Rissa as she put her hand on Francheska's shoulder. "Now my girl is ready to go show the world who is the real queen!"

Francheska can only laugh happily when she heard Rissa's words. But she will also not deny that she likes the sound of it.
