Chapter 33 Keep A “Keen” Eye on You
A glint flashed across Mark's eyes, “you must be wrong.”
Beth's heart was flying around her chest, but she also nodded
“Yes, I must have mistaken one for another.
‘Otherwise, how can you look so much like the teenager Aaron Williams?’
Mark nodded gently and said in a mild, benign tone, “here’s my friend's business card. You can get to
him and try a screen test.
While saying this, Mark took out a business card and handed it to her.
Beth once again sincerely said, “Thank you, thank you so much!”
“I must treat you to dinner someday convenient!
A half-smile crept across Mark's face, with soft light flashing in his eyes.
“That’s quite good and I’m looking forward to your feast.”
“Time to go and let me drive you home,” Mark added.
Hearing this, Beth was unexpectedly in a trance,
as he and Aaron were quite pretty much alike, especially in the tone and eyes when he was saying that
he would drive her home.
God was really tricking on her. How could the Mark before her be so like Aaron in his young manhood?
Beth just wanted to say that she didn't need it, but she suddenly changed her mind and felt like
enjoying his accompany this time.
She just imagined that she were in the past. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Only in this way, could her heart get the slightest warmth.
That's her long-awaited warmth!
“I’ll drive you home.”
The road she had taken with her crush in their youth made her feel so warm and touched in retrospect.
“Oh, that’s good.” She cried with a smile.
“But you don't have to drive me home. I'll just take the bus at the bus stop right r ahead.” She pointed to
the stop sign.
Mere such a short distance was already a priceless treasure to her.
She dared not and was not able to expect too much more.
After all, Mark was neither Aaron nor her youth hood crush.
It was just all her illusion.
Mark gave her another glimpse and then smiled again without saying anything.
Through his smile, his eyes delivered a soft, water-like tenderness, unlike the incompassionate
coldness in Aaron’s eyes.
He was such an otherworldly handsome while wearing a smile.
After Mark accompanied her to the platform, the bus came soon.
And that meant she had to say goodbye to her illusion.
She said goodbye to him and got on the bus slowly.
She didn't dare to see the people on the platform, because the tears were bursting out.
Aaron was so gentle before, but now changed. How could that be?
‘Why Aaron is no longer nice to me?’
‘Why does Aaron... no longer remember me?’
Since she encountered Aaron in the restaurant that day, she had not seen Aaron for several days, and
she knew that the wedding of Aaron and Kathy was in preparation.
But she was too busy to think about these now. She had more important things to do.
She wants to raise money to cure Jacky's leg. Although she also contacted the film crew’s telephone
number offered by Mark,
she would not get paid for a while, so she sold the diamond ring and paid medical expenses for Jacky.
Because of Mark’s connection, even though she didn't graduate, the crew promised to give her a
chance and ask her to do the screen test today.
Beth was afraid that her acting skills would not work.
She cheered herself up all the way, reading lines repeatedly and practicing.
The TV play she was going to play a role in was named The Prime of the Great Han Dynasty, in which
a powerful female acted as the protagonist.
At most, she could only get a role of a “female number four”, with only a few scenes.
This play was about how the female protagonist and her male counterpart supported each other all the
way to conquering the empire.
When she arrived at the set, she was taken by the hand by Director Tom.
“You are here to audition for the female number four?” “Today, something happens to the heroine's
stand-in. How about that you replace her? “
Noticing that she was about the same figure as the female protagonist, Director Tom came up with this
idea.
Usually, these female stars received super high pay and even needed stand-ins to do diving for them,
so it was also a difficult circumstance for the director to deal with.
As being a stand-in got paid as well, Beth had no reason to refuse.
She nodded, and Director Tom led her over there and said, “You don't have to say anything. When the
heroine finishes her lines, you just jump when you need to dive!”
Director Tom took her to the set in a haste, and all the preparations for the shooting over there were
ready.
The shooting place was near a pond in the park, where the heroine was quarreling with the supporting
actress and was then pushed into the pond.
Beth glanced at the water and immediately shivered.
The water was not deep, but it was quite turbid.
However, for money, she was able to endure anything!
“Director, lady Carina let me ask you whether the stand-in is ready? The water is so dirty and cold that
our lady Carina would never jump!” someone came from the rest area, saying, with head held high.
Director Tom frowned, and his eyes hinted a bit of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything about that.
“Light, props ... get ready!”
As soon as the director put it, the assistant ran back like a hired thug, and then idled by with a foxily
good-looking woman.
Beth also dressed up in stand-in clothes. When she came out, she happened to meet the heroine
head-on.
When she saw her, she sensed as if her blood was totally frozen, feeling that the world was so small.
“Oh my cousin, long time no see.” A cold voice came from the upcoming female star, with foxy, slanting
eyes on her face.
“It's you!” Beth gnashed his teeth,
“Carina!”
Carina was the daughter of her uncle.
But she was Kathy's cousin, not hers.
Since she returned to the Johnsons, she had been getting closer and closer with Kathy.
Kathy soared in the entertainment circle with the support from Aaron and the Johnsons, and Carina ...
Carina met Rawson Thomas, the chairman of the Thomas’, at a dinner party because of Kathy’s
introduction.
Then, she managed to get married to Rawson and entered the entertainment circle. As Rawson never
begrudge investing huge resources in Carina’s entertainment career, climbing to the top within the
circle suddenly became a piece of cake.
In mere two years, Carina became one of the top-line actresses.
But it was still beyond Beth’s expectation that Carina was the heroine of the play
‘If I had known ...’
‘Well, whatever I had known would not change anything.’ After all, she had to grasp every chance to
earn money.
Carina wore a half-smile on the face, but the malicious intention hidden behind her eyes made Beth
unsettled.
“It turns out that my cousin is so short of money that she has to be here as a stand-in.” Carina put on a
fake smile and said, “don't worry, I will keep a very ‘keen’ eye on you.”
