Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 369

Chapter 369

Mamie could tell Agnes was really down in the dumps.

Mamie's tone was stern: "Agnes, snap out of it, do you really think that sort of person is worth it?"

Agnes felt a deep pain in her heart. Even though she and Beatrice had their differences, they were bound by blood.

They were sisters. They could move past previous disagreements. But Agnes never imagined Beatrice would wish harm upon her

Did such a deep grudge truly exist between them? Sinking into her chair, Agnes wondered, "How could she be so cruel?"

"Agnes, you have to face mality. You're in the entertainment industry now and that's how it rolls. If you're popular, people will be green with envy. If you're not, they'll push you around. It doesn't matter whether they're friends or family. When I first started, a friend stabbed me in the back. Because of her, my reputation was almost ruined and I was nearly blacklisted in the industry. That's when it hit me, you can only trust yourself in this world. I had to toughen up, make those who envied me even more jealous. They may not like me, but they can't do squat. And as for those who aren't friendly to you, you don't need to shov them any mercy" "But she's my dad's daughter, what can I do to her?"

Mamie said, "You may not be able to do anything, but I can. After all, she was the one who drugged me. This score, I will settle."

Mamie made her entrance with confident strides. Though she possessed her own private makeup room, today she chose to grace the main makeup area with her presence. As preparations buzzed around with artists attending to actors, the room's energy shifted the moment she stepped in.

Warm greetings flowed towards Mamie, a testament to her status. But her eyes scanned the room purposefully, settling on Beatrice. With a hint of disdain, Mamie addressed her, "Beatrice"

Beatrice, wearing a congenial smile, responded, "Mamie, how can I assist you?"

It was no secret in the team about Mamie's formidable standing.

Not only was she a revered superstar, but she also held the privilege of being the sister to the president of Century Entertainment,

Her stature in the entertainment industry was unparalleled. Naturally, many sought her favor or at least a word with her. Yet Mamie remained largely indifferent to

these overtures

There was one exception: Agnes. Their unexpected camaraderie, having evolved from rivalry, was the source of Beatrice's envy. Up until now, Beatrice hadn't had the opportunity for any real interaction with Mamie. Today's approach by the superstar was entirely unexpected.

Mamie looked at her arrogantly: "Pack up your things. From today onwards, I'm using this make-up table."

Mamie was a superstar, all her stuff in the team was one-of-a-kind.

Including her private make-up room and personal make-up artist.

This make-up room was shared by other actors, but only actors with important roles and high standing could have their own make-up table. To a certain extent, the makeup table represented an actor's status and rank in the team.

Beatrice had worked hard to get one.

And, all the other make-up tables here were taken.

If she loses this one, she will have to share a shabby make-up table with the extras

That would be truly embarrassing.

"Mamie, don't you have your own make-up room?"

"Doing make-up alone is boring, I want to chat with everyone here. I particularly like the position of this make-up table. From now on, it's mine, no one else can use

Mamie's domineering attitude was well known in the team.

Beatrice asked softly. "But what about me if you take it?"

Mamie looked impatient, "Isn't there a make-up table for extras? You can make do with that. Isn't it a waste for a small-time actor to use a make up table all by

herself?"
