After that, she needed to schedule Tyler’s next acting class in preparation for their upcoming movie shoot.
Running through the day’s agenda in her mind, Ariana returned with two cups of coffee.
As Ariana entered the office building and waited for the elevator, she encountered someone she hadn't seen in a while, Brielle. Brielle appeared much thinner, her chin was more pointed. She wore a black dress, a black fur coat, and sunglasses.
Ariana smiled but remained silent, suspecting Brielle’s recent exhaustion was due to her involvement in the movie Half of My Country.
Before filming began, Brielle had already argued with another cast member, leaving a negative impression on the director. Additionally, her acting skills failed to meet the director’s expectations when she joined the crew, which further frustrated him.
Furthermore, Ariana had heard from Sonia a few days earlier that the director had reduced Brielle’s screen time to less than five minutes, and her screen time was even shorter than that of the actress playing the lead character’s maid.
Noticing that Ariana had been looking at her, Brielle couldn't resist taking a jab.
“Well, Ariana, long time no see. You seem to have gained some weight. Is it because your husband's love is lacking and you’ve resorted to stress-eating?”
Ariana ignored Brielle and waited for the elevator. It was none of Brielle’s business whether she had gained weight or not. This woman should just mind her own business.
“It's been a while. Don’t you want to catch up?” Brielle approached and removed her sunglasses, her beautiful eyes brimming with smugness.
Ariana couldn’t understand her conceit. Every time she encountered Brielle, the latter resembled a cocky rooster, ready to puff up her chest and strut.
Brielle was so annoying but she didn’t realize it.
“You seem to be enjoying yourself lately and in the mood for conversation. The movie must have gone quite well,” Ariana remarked sarcastically.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Brielle straightened up and lied, “Absolutely, the director praised my acting skills and mentioned future collaborations.”
Ariana couldn't help but laugh. “Well, congratulations. I'll eagerly await your next project. When will the movie be released? As your sister, I’ll make sure to watch it and support you.”
Pretending not to notice Brielle’s sour expression, Ariana continued, “I heard the main cast of your film is going on a promotional tour. You must be quite busy soon.
Wait a minute, isn’t the entire team in Ivebridge today? Why aren’t you with them?”
As expected, Brielle’s face turned rigid, and she responded vaguely, “I’m preoccupied with preparing for a new film. | don’t have time for that.”
As the new film project bolstered Brielle’s confidence, she boasted, “This time, I’m the star of the show.”
Ariana pondered the claim. It appeared accurate. She recalled Edgar mentioning that Brielle would be the lead actress of his film at the film festival.
Suppressing her laughter, Ariana shifted gears, offering genuine praise. “Congrats! You’ve barely begun your career, and you've already landed a lead role. I’m not sure what the movie’s about, but I'll definitely check it out if | get the chance.”
