60 Chapter 60: Nothing is Going to Happen

Queenie smiled lightly, "I have also gone through the same experience as you. I have come across many secrets and even actresses that wanted to harm me as well." Edie sighed, "This circle can be messy."

"Edie, listen to me, others will most definitely bully an overly kind person. If you want to see daylight in the entertainment circle, you have to be tough. So to survive, one must have thick skin." Queenie looked at Edie and said solemnly.

Queenie was only 24 years old, and when you looked into her eyes, you could see she had experienced a lot. Edie could tell that she had an excessive amount of knowledge in these matters. Edie was curious about what Queenie had experienced in her five years of being in the industry, but she immediately pushed the thought away.

At least Queenie agreed with her. So Edie nodded, "Okay, Queenie, I know." Edie returned to the Villa and took a hot bath. She took some medicine for the pain and immediately went to bed. She was almost asleep when suddenly she heard her phone ringing.

"Hello…" Her eyes were blurry, so she couldn't see who was calling. Her voice was full of drowsiness. "Are you sleeping?" A soft low voice sounded in her ear. She recognized his voice, and it brought a smile to her face.

Edie woke up instantly and sat up and leaned on the bed. "Oh, it's so late. Is there something wrong? Why are you calling me?"

Stuart glanced at the clock on the desk," Late? It's only nine-thirty." Stuart was immediately aware that there was something wrong. "Why did you go to sleep so early? What happened?"

Edie was a little embarrassed. "No, I'm just a little tired after working today." Edie tried not to change the tone of her voice.

"If you need anything, please let me know. Do not hesitate and call me immediately." This was the second time that Stuart had said this, but his thoughtfulness still moved Edie. It gave her a feeling of warmth and safety, knowing that she was cared for by him.

Edie bit her lower lip, "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen. I will be fine." Stuart frowned slightly. She said that there would be nothing, but she did not tell him the truth. She avoided answering the question, which indicated that she did not trust him.

Stuart was respectful of her wishes, and he knew she was busy filming. He did not want to force her excessively. Stuart said, "Have a good rest. Good night, I will talk to you soon."

Edie laid in bed, thinking of what Stuart said and started to feel sad. She really wanted to rely on him, but she couldn't. They only had a short contractual relationship. If she formed a habit of relying on him, what should she do after the contract expired? She couldn't get him out of her mind. She missed him so much, but it was a forbidden rule.

She had already learned from the failure in her relationship with Donald. She had failed once in love and will not fail again. She mustn't fall in love with Stuart. The next morning there was no filming for Edie, but as soon as she woke up, she went over to the filming location.

As soon as Rhoda saw her, she asked confusedly, "Edie, didn't the director tells you to take a break today?" Edie seemed to think of something and said faintly, smiling. Queenie and Charles were filming. All the crew and staff members were there, but one person was missing, and that was Zoe.

Edie saw Zoe's car outside this morning, so she was sure that Zoe was there. She found a staff member and asked, "Where is Zoe Anna?" The staff pointed to the lounge, "Miss Anna's filming is the next one, and she is in the lounge now."

"Thank you," said Edie eagerly. Edie went to the lounge and gently knocked on the door. A woman asked. "Who is it?" She walked over and slightly opened the door. When she saw Edie, she was shocked and wanted to close the door, but it was already too late. Edie used the bag in her hand to stop the door and pushed it open.

"What's the matter...?" Zoe was sitting on the sofa and had heard the noise. She turned her head impatiently. When she saw Edie, her face was still. There was no movement at all.

Edie smiled appropriately, "Miss Anna," she paused and said to the young woman. "This lady, why does she look so familiar? We have meant before, haven't we?" The young woman standing next to Zoe was apparently the one who rushed out of the changing room yesterday.

When Edie mentioned the woman, she lowered her head in embarrassment. She covered her face with her hair and grabbed her clothes with uneasiness. Zoe was an experienced woman. Edie saw the panic in her eyes, and now there is nothing but hatred staring her in the face. She looked at Edie and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"There is something that I would talk to Miss Anna about, and I would like to do it ALONE."

Zoe didn't know what tricks she wanted to play with her. She hesitated for a moment and figured that Edie didn't dare try to challenge her. She waved her hand to her assistants and the woman and told them, "Go on, get out. She wants to talk to me alone."

The women walked out, leaving only Edie and Zoe in the lounge. Edie began to talk very calmly, "Yesterday, everything that happened to me was because of you. You did something to my shoes, right?" Edie was impatient and wanted to know the truth.

Zoe looked down at Edie. She raised her fingers and looked at her long nails. Then she casually said, "Yes, it was me." Edie smiled, "It surprises me that you are so honest."

In the beginning, Zoe didn't dare try and harm Edie because she thought Edie had someone powerful backing her. Now she knew Edie had no great backup at all, so her attitude became more and more arrogant.

Actually, it was just her narrow thought that all the female actresses were all like her. Meaning they could only climb up the ladder by sleeping with influential people.

"Okay, what are you going to do about it? Go and tell the director? Now that the filming is halfway through and you have no evidence. Even if you had evidence, do you think the director would change characters? Do you still want to retaliate against me, frame me, or make a fool of me? Edie, I really don't want to look down on you, but you can't even keep good shoes. Do you really think everyone is as stupid as you? You can try to harm me, but you will fail."

After that, Zoe stood up and slowly walked in front of Edie, sneering, "Edie Lara, I am giving you a lesson. Let this be known that in this circle, there are some people you should not offend. If you do, you will eventually pay for it. Now, this is just the beginning."

Edie smiled, "Miss Anna, you are not a professional when it comes to acting. I didn't expect that you are also so unprofessional in harming others. You have done a lot of things to harm me. Only to let me add a plot for myself and made others admire my acting skills. Even the director praised me for doing a great job. Frankly speaking, I should thank you."

Zoe had heard about Edie's reversal yesterday, but she was not there. Knowing her temper, the assistant did not dare to tell her the details. She only said that Edie had finished the play. Zoe thought that Edie had been very embarrassed and that all the joy and victory of that day had been taken away.

Zoe did not expect the results to be in favor of Edie. It was worse than she could have ever imagined. Edie actually got praise from the director even though she fell in the water. Zoe has been in the entertainment circle for a long time, but no director ever said, "good job" to her!

Hearing Edie's words, Zoe's eyes flashed with a dim light. She gritted her teeth and stared at Edie, saying: "Edie Lara, we will wait and see what happens in the future."
