Chapter 506 Being Targeted

Chapter 506 Being Targeted

If her memory served, these are all the people in the cast who need to attend the shooting party.

So was she the last one to be there?

Laura carefully recalled the time Maria had told her and looked at her own watch.

Laura was sure that, according to Maria's notice, instead of being late, she arrived half an hour earlier.

What the hell was going on here?

A rush of horrible suspicion washed over her.

Laura stilled herself. With a disarming smile, she clasped a hand over her bosom and bent slightly to apologize, "Sorry for being late. I was stuck in a traffic jam."

From the moment Laura entered the room, Peter Scott, who sat at the head of the table, stopped talking to others and looked at her darkly.

However, the first impression she gave him was that she was a clever girl. She seemed upstanding, not the type to sleep around. No matter how Peter looked at her, he didn't think she was as bad as Lily said. But in the entertainment industry, how could he judge a book only by its cover?

The thought gave him a kind of resentment against her.

Why were young girls today so ignorant of self-respect? Why didn't she try to be a good actress instead of relying on others to pull strings for her? Didn't she go astray by doing this?

Peter's face grew solemn at the thought. Everyone around the table sensed his displeasure.

They spoke in whispers. After a while, they quieted down and looked at Peter.

Laura also noticed that Peter was looking at her with strange eyes.

Had she ever offended him before?

Suspicion clouded Laura's face.

In a few seconds, Laura quickly went over her network in mind.

The industry event? It was impossible. She had never met him before.

But other than that, she would never have any chance to meet an outstanding director like Peter.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She frowned in puzzlement. However, Peter noticed the change in Laura's expression. To be precise, he kept an eye on Laura.

The blank look in her eyes ignited his anger.

Had she forgotten what she had done? Or she had done such things so many times. Were all young girls now so shameless?

Peter felt that he had made a very foolish decision at the thought.

Maybe he shouldn't agree the investors 'request to choose Laura as the leading actress.

If Peter was unhappy, he would definitely not make Laura happy.

"Miss Davies, if you think you're famous enough to make the entire crew wait for you, you should leave."

Peter's sudden reproach stunned Laura.

She really had no idea what was happening.

Laura had no choice but to apologize.

She clapped a hand over her chest and made a deep bow. People sitting around the table could vaguely see her guilty expression and closed eyes. "Sorry, Director Scott. I didn't expect busy traffic when I left my place and I got caught up on the road for a long time. I apologize for being late. Sorry, everyone," said Laura.

Peter stared at Laura blankly and said in a cold tone, "Oh, Miss Davies, who are we to blame you?"

A trace of embarrassment formed on Laura's face. His words left her speechless for a moment.

Peter's attitude towards Laura surprised everyone.

They looked at each other, all silent.

But some people began to think about how they would treat Laura in the future.

After all, it was a foregone conclusion that director Scott was dissatisfied with Laura.

Anyway, timeservers were not uncommon.

Laura stood up awkwardly and looked at Peter. "Director Scott, sorry I'm late. I really hope you can forgive me."

Peter said with a mocking tone, "You know what you have to do."

However, Laura didn't say anything.

She could not defend herself at all. She would only dig herself into a deeper hole.

A contemptuous look fitted across Peter's face.

As far as he could see, Laura had no other fault than a lack of self-respect.

Not only did Peter look at Laura with disdain, but the way he spoke to her was also contemptuous.

During the meal, he made mean remarks about her more than once. At first, Laura behaved nicely. But later, the expression on her face became serious.

To the end, Laura didn't have the courage to stand up to the director.

She couldn't afford the risk.

It meant so much to her to be a part in No Coming Back. If she got kicked out for acting like a poser, she would never get another script like this or even worse than this again. This would definitely be a big blow to her.

So she forced herself to endure those mean words without saying anything to defend herself,

even though she was really upset and mad.

However, Peter didn't know her forbearance.

In his opinion, Laura was a woman of cunning, and she was just playing hard to get.

She wasn't his type, but he had some doubts that she would come to him.

At this time, however, Laura did not know that Peter was thinking ill of her.

She would never stay in this crew anymore if she had known.

On the contrary, she would leave without hesitation and told Maria that she would not participate in this TV series.

When the party was over, Laura returned to her apartment with an iron face.

She kept repeating in her mind that if it weren't for Peter's fame and the script, she really couldn't suck it up.

After removing her makeup, she looked at herself haggard in the mirror and her thoughts started to wander.

She didn't know why she became like this.

Was it because of her mother? Not exactly.

Was it because of her foster father? Not exactly.

So what is it?

Laura didn't know.

However, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep in bed before she could replace an answer.
