" Is that why you were bothering my team ?," I asked loudly.
" BOTHER ? WHY WOULD WE BOTHER YOUR TEAM ?," they were shouting and pointing fingers at me again , wrong , they were doing everything wrong again ," WE ASKED THE GIRL FROM YOUR MAKEUP TEAM TO JUST SHARE THE COFFEE ! CAN'T YOU EVEN SHARE COFFEE ?"
"Oh ? Do you not have changed to buy coffee ?," I gasped ," That will be my treat then ! I am going to buy coffee for everyone on the set ! Where can we order ?"
" Wait ! That was not the issue here !," Mira stopped her feet like a child .
I stared at her for explanation,"How did she upset you then ?"
" She refused to share -"
" Oh then she refused to share my coffee without my permission to you ?," I spoke out putting on a show for the crowd .
" I got you this job so the least I you could do is -," Mira was speaking in a lower tone .
" Give you all my coffee ?," I laughed out ," I was going to treat you Ms. Palmer after we were done . I reserved a resturant for that ."
It was a lie.
I did not even have the idea that it was Palmer who got me this job . But it was nothing that I could not arrange with a couple of phone calls .
" But if you want coffee as your treat, it is fine ," I bowed my head ," But dare I say , isn't it kind of too much to splash a kid with coffee with something that small ?"
" WE DIDN'T SPLASH IT ! SHE DROPPED IT HERSELF!," the manager was shouting again.
So I had to raise my voice too ," Oh my god ! Then how anxious was she ! And you let her stand dripping wet like that ? What if the coffee was hot , she could have burnt her skin and now we had to rush her to ER ! Someone please check,if one of the coffee ordered was hot ! If she is fine ."
I knew none of the coffee was hot . My team was addicted to iced americano. But it felt good to give them a little scare .
" This industry is hard for surviving , you know that Ms Dane ," Palmer was having hard time to suppress her anger ," If your team gets scared so easily , then maybe they should leave ."
" Maybe they should but that does not give you the right to treat her so inhumanely right ," I was still smiling for the crowd," We are all humans here ,we all had to start somewhere . A little compassion is not that bad ."
I knew how harsh it was for everyone here . All of the people here yearned for sympathy.
" Should you be really talking to me like this in a set arranged by Sunshine corporation?," Mira's eyes were full of hate ," One call from me and my boyfriend can kick you out of here ."
"Repeat that Ms. Palmer , repeat that loudly ," I admit that my makeup was making me look more sly ," Are you mad that it is not working well like it did in the variety show stage ?"
She flinched .
Back then , I had a face to save . But here , I was again starting with nothing . And for the past few months, I had gone through too much to take any bullshits from a rookie like her.
" So YOU ARE GOING TO ASK SUNSHINE CORPORATION TO KICK ME OUT?," I asked ," THIS IS AN INSULT TO THE SUNSHINE CORPORATION TOO , YOU KNOW ? "
" Shut up ."
" I UNDERSTAND YOU HELPED ME WITH THE JOB ! BUT ISN'T IT TOO CRUEL TO TREAT MY TEAM LIKE THIS ?," this was my time to shout now .
" I said , shut up ," Palmer hissed at me . Her real colors were getting caught on camera now.
" AND WHEN I TRY TO PROTEST YOU - YOU ! ARE THREATENING ME!"
" ONLY I COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOU THE JOB ! A B-LIST ARTIST LIKE YOU WHO GOT INTO A SCANDAL AND THEN A HIATUS COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT ME !," Mira finally started shouting ," HOW SHAMELESS YOU HAVE TO BE TO COME INTO A SHOOT OF MY SUNSHINE CORPORATION AND ACT LIKE THIS !"
" Aren't you also dating ?," I asked innocentlyb," Then what's the difference between us ?"
Yes , that was what I wanted to ask the crowd , too.
What was the difference between us ?
While everyone celebrated relationship of Palmer , they shoved me out of every opportunity I had .
" I AM THE FUCKING DAUGHTER OF CEO OF SUMMIT AND CO. AND MY FUTURE HUSBAND IS LIAM ANDERSON, AND YOU - you - YOU ARE NOBODY . Dane family went bankruptcy long ago , didn't it ?"
I looked down ," Yeah , but I worked hard for my career and the man from the scandal is not my lover or anything, he is my brother Jasper Dane , I did not want him out at public . That was why I hid it ."
It was a good time to break the news .
Myra , sweet girl , came and placed a hand on my shoulder ,with an Oscar worthy trembling voice she called my name ," Autumn."
" No it's fine ," I took a deep breath as if I was trying not to cry and that was how you should play the crying-card , ' Take notes Ms. Palmer '
" I tried to avoid the topic of dating cause then media might look for my brother . He is still a student, it would upset his studying schedule. Besides he has been just back from Europe . I don't want him to feel suffocated from my celebrity life ,"I blinked vigorously so the camera could catch how hard I was trying to not cry ," After that I got into an accident but none of it was my fault,right ? Then why must I keep hearing this from you ?"
Mira opened her mouth to speak again but finally realised the people with camera . But her waist was so stiff , that she still could not bow at me .
Now her crying card looked ridiculous.
She turned her back at me ," I feel dizzy , if you will excuse me ."
I was going to teach her something again.
How to play the b-list idol card properly.
I closed my eyes and fell into the arms of my hairstylist.
Myra panicked ," OH MY GOD ! SHE FAINTED! I KNEW THAT THIS WAS STRESSING HER TOO MUCH ! Her body is recovering."
I heard the clicking of Mira's heels stop as she froze in the place.
People rushed in trying to help me.
She knew that there was no going back from this .
