Chapter 210
Teddy raised his hand first. “I’ve learned a lot. By the way, Ms. Hart, what’s the main focus of this training?”
He was a bit confused.
“It includes martial arts scenes, so we must practice beforehand. For the female actors, it’s mostly about posture and demeanor,” Lila explained. “Also, while you’re training, you must study with the performance teacher. The schedule has been changed to evenings.”
Jamie and Teddy listened without objection, nodding obediently. Being obedient meant they wouldn’t be disliked. After careful discussion, they had decided that as long as Lila didn’t find more easy-to-manage artists, they wouldn’t get poached.
Lila was pleased. She told them to find their assigned training room and wait for the teacher to begin.
Their variety show would air next week, so they would likely gain some followers or at least become more recognizable. What she didn’t expect was that she would be the one being talked about first.
Although she didn’t make the trending post, there was a noticeable buzz building. Amelia was the first to see it and immediately came to find Lila.
It was a post by Fletcher’s fans, saying that he had taken on a new drama, and it seemed like he was very close with Lila. The post included photos from the audition, the first day of training, and a few recent ones showing him speaking with her.
One of the photos was from the second time they spoke, with Fletcher leaving and Lila looking at his back. There were also photos of them chatting, both of them smiling. The angles of the photos were… rather suggestive.
Lila frowned. It looked like there was a hint of ambiguity.
The post had already gotten 20 or 30 thousand comments, mostly from Fletcher’s fans.
“What’s going on? Does this woman not know Fletcher has a girlfriend?”
“Who’s this woman? Her gaze is so intense. Is there no other man in the world? Disgusting!”
“Does she have no shame? Trying to break up my idols?”
“This is Lila Hart. Don’t you all remember her? Dorian’s ex-girlfriend, the one who made him kneel on Mount Shasta to propose.”
“It’s no wonder she looks so familiar. I can’t stand her. She looks like a seductress.”
“I don’t care who she is. If she tries to break up my idols, she’ll regret it. I’m going to her account to leave hate comments.”
“Here’s the link to Lila’s account. She stopped using her old account with Dorian’s name and changed it to Magi Pictures-Lily Hart.”
“Bitch, she deserves to die! She’s not even worthy of a good death!”
“She’s probably using her director status to keep Fletcher around and trying to manipulate him.”
There were even people insulting her family.
Amelia’s expression darkened. “The show hasn’t even started filming yet, and these people are already
causing trouble. Not many known et
about it yet, and it hasn’t hit the trending post, but it could blow up. Should we get the drama’s official account to release a clarification post?”
Lila shook her head. “A clarification won’t help. If these people listened, Fletcher
wouldn’t have gotten into this situation in the first place.”
“What should we do then? Let’s consider replacing him.”
She seemed not to have heard Amelia’s suggestion. She stared at the photos
again, suddenly realizing something was off.
“On the day of the audition, there
were many people, and we don’t know who took the photos.
Someone might have slipped in. But look at these recent ones from training…”
She frowned. “The only people who could have gotten in are either Joyce Group’s
staff or the confirmed cast members.”
“It’s impossible that it was someone
from Joyce Group’s side.” Amelia was blunt, then realized something. “Are you saying someone from the cast is targeting Fletcher?”
Lila’s eyes flickered as she seemed to think of something. “It’s hard to say, but it might not necessarily be about him.”
Amelia was quick-witted, and she didn’t take long to catch on. “The biggest victim is probably the one they’re focusing on.”
