Chapter 210: She Is Not a Whore

Perhaps it was because she was too tired from making her dresses in the past few days, or because she and Bruce were too crazy last night.

Anyway, Hilla couldn’t get out of bed the next day. Her legs trembled in pain, and she finally gave up getting up and just lay on the bed.

Before Bruce left for work, he helped to rub her leg to ease her pain. Of course, Hilla took his behavior as a form of guilt after “committing a crime”. His gentleness to her revealed his guilty conscience.

Bruce’s skills were not very good, and he rubbed her harder more than she thought. Shortly, Hilla became angry, kicking him away and pulling the quilt to wrap herself in it.

She turned around and snorted, “Sinners are not worthy of forgiveness!”

Bruce looked at her and felt heartbroken, but he was a little amused by her. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, blaming himself, “It’s my fault. I used too much strength on you last night. Next time, I will be gentler!”

Hilla turned her head and gave him a fierce glare.

What a “good” man!

Bruce was a little embarrassed by her glare, but his voice was still gentle and soft.

He had never shown so much patience to anyone before.

“I’ll go to work first. Stay at home and wait for me to come back.”

“Wait for you to come back and ’ravage’ me? Do you think I’m just a toy lying on the bed for you?”

Hilla looked at Bruce’s back. When he closed the door and left, she angrily threw the pillow next to her to the door.

The bastard only wanted to sleep with her every night, “tortured” and make her unable to get out of bed. Just dreamt it! She would not wait for him to come back.

Hilla got out of bed furiously, but she didn’t expect that the moment she stood up, she immediately sat down.

Damned it! Her legs felt so weak that she even could not stand up.

It was all because of that bastard!

Hilla had no choice but to climb back to the bed and lie down to sleep.

When she was in good spirits and could walk again, she would definitely never come back here.

Hilla slept until the afternoon and felt much better. Alexa came in to pull open the curtains for her and said with a smile, “When Mr. Anderson left, he said that you were too tired from working these days and asked me not to disturb you.

“But you haven’t eaten for a day. You should have some now.”

Hearing what Alexa said, Hilla nodded slightly.

Even if Alexa didn’t mention it, she had already felt hungry now. Last night, she “worked” for a night and ate nothing for a whole day. How could she not feel hungry?

“Do you want me to bring it up, or do you want to go downstairs to eat?” Hilla stretched her arm and said, “I’ll go downstairs.” The room was too stuffy, and the air was not fresh.

Hilla looked at Alexa whose face was slightly flushed. Fortunately, Alexa was an experienced woman and knew everything. Hilla just liked this kind of smart woman.

Hilla hurriedly washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs, leaving the room to Alexa to clean up.

She went into the kitchen and brought out the hot meals from the microwave.

Just as she put the food into her mouth, a strange smell came up, immediately engulfing her stomach and forcefully rushing out from her throat.

How come… the food was so awful!

Hilla vomited directly, and then she kept retching, almost making her vomit her stomach out.

What was wrong with her? Why was there a smell that the food had been heated by a lot of steam?

It wasn’t like she had never eaten this before, but today, she felt that the taste was utterly very awful.

Hilla drank the water on the table before she suppressed the smell.

Only then did she let out a heavy sigh of relief and rubbed her stomach.

It must be Bruce who “tormented” her last night, causing her to be so hungry that she even could not eat now.

Looking at the food on the table, she had lost her appetite. She could only pour a glass of milk from the refrigerator and eat two slices of bread.

Before she finished eating, Hilla received a call from a director that Carlie introduced.

It was the deputy director who had chosen her at first glance, hoping that she could go over and try on makeup today.

Although Hilla felt it was troublesome, she felt much more at ease when thinking of the big deal Carlie had given her, so she agreed happily.

She didn’t sleep well last night and was a little dispirited. The makeup artist highlighted her cheekbones and some small area of her face and gave her a few blushes to make her look much better.

Today’s makeup was different from the one that she wore yesterday. It was obviously much more gorgeous today, and her makeup made her look elegant and beautiful, and a bit enchanting.

Because Hilla practiced martial arts, her figure was also stronger than average women, but she was not fat, so she looked very firm but strong… Bruce always liked to pinch her butt.

Because her butt was firm and soft!

After Hilla put on her makeup, the makeup artist beside her couldn’t help but say, “Gorgeous. You are exactly the character. When I saw you at first glance yesterday, I knew that you are a star for acting.”

Hilla thought, “Thank you, but I am not.”

After putting on makeup, Hilla changed into a new set of clothes. She was dressed in pink, looking very sexy. However, her small face was so delicate and beautiful. Even though she was wearing such a gaudy dress, she was still very charming.

And because Hilla practiced martial arts, she seemed to have an air of stubbornness and heroic spirit. It was a contradictory combination of her outlook that made people unable to look away.

The people from the costume department were all stunned, and before Hilla could react, one of them pulled her out.

Hilla had felt the gaze at her along the way. The people were either stunned, jealous or surprised.

Although she had been used to this kind of eyes before, today she felt strange when wearing this dress.

She was in a look of early 1900s, revealing her arms and thighs. She walked quickly in front of these people wearing modern clothes. She felt as if she had traveled through time.

She now somewhat understood how strong the female protagonist in the TV series was after traveling to ancient times.

If she … saw this scene, she was afraid that she would not be able to recover unless more than ten days had passed.

Hilla was directly pulled in front of the director. At this time, Carlie was discussing the next plot with the director. When she turned back and saw Hilla, although she knew that this girl was beautiful, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

The deputy director had a good eye for people and Hilla was indeed very suitable for this role.

She was like an ice beauty who was proud and elegant, but also was pure.

Even a woman like her couldn’t take her eyes off Hilla. There were many female celebrities in the show business, and there were very few people like Hilla who were spotless and beautiful.

Fortunately, Hilla was a designer, but not an actress. Otherwise, Carlie would feel that Hilla would steal her thunder.

“Director, what do you think? Do you think she looks like Viola in the drama?”

“Yes. She is pretty good. Let’s shoot her in the next round.”

The director’s eyes widened in surprise and he wanted to audition Hilla immediately.

Originally, the next round was Carlie’s part, but in the end, a supporting actress who was a nobody came out and stole her thunder.

However, Carlie didn’t care about it, but Hilla was nervous.

Didn’t they say that she was only here to try the makeup today? Why did they directly audition her?

Hilla stood in front of the designated spot and looked at the plaque below her, only then did she realize that she was actually going to play a “prostitute” in a brothel!

…

Hilla sat by the railing of the second floor, looking at the busy crew below. She awkwardly pulled the gauze dress that she wore.

After a long while, she finally said to the director, “Director, I really can’t act!”

Not to mention that her role was a prostitute. She was too casual a girl to seduce men.

The director was stunned. He looked up at the charming woman. Although Hilla’s expression was unnatural, she was breathtakingly beautiful and possessed unique charisma of her own.

“You don’t know how to act?”

The director frowned. Hilla nodded desperately.

<Please let me go. Acting is not my calling. I do not wish to rise to fame overnight.

Although actresses can earn a lot of money, I can’t do it!>

The deputy director came over and whispered to the director. They seemed to be exchanging opinions. Hilla widened her eyes nervously.

<Can I leave?

Please believe that I’m not good at acting and let me go!>

After the director discussed with the deputy director, he nodded in agreement and turned to Hilla again.

“Is he letting me go?” Hilla straightened her back and was ready to say “yes” when she heard the director say, “It doesn’t matter. You don’t have a line. Just sit there and smile.”

Hilla was stunned.

What was the difference? She still had to play a whore!

“Director, could you please think it over?”

She could not force a smile. She wanted to cry right now. Should she cry before the camera?

“There’s no need to reconsider about it. We think you are perfect. Take it easy. You’ll get used to it after the first time.”

The director was determined and even comforted her.

Hilla thought, “No, it’s impossible for me to get used to it, not even in my lifetime!”

Carlie walked to the director and said, “Director, Hilla has no experience, neither has she worked in the film industry before. She must be very nervous. Can I have a talk with her?”

It was Carlie who had brought Hilla here. If wasn’t for Carlie, they would not have found Hilla who was so suitable for the role.

What’s more, Carlie was the female lead in the drama. The director would naturally be nice to her.

“Okay.”

Fortunately, the recent shooting progress was fast and even a little ahead of the schedule. Now that they had plenty of time, they could be patient with Hilla.

Carlie nodded and went upstairs with her assistant.

As soon as Hilla saw her, she quickly pulled Carlie and said, “Miss Adams, I really can’t do it. Please ask the director to let me go.”

“I’m afraid not. The director is very satisfied with you. Do you know that how many actresses would be envious of your opportunity? There aren’t many people that can catch the director’s eye at first glance.”

Even she had to put in a lot of effort to get a role at first. Although Hilla’s role was not very important, she was very a very special supporting role and should be played by the right person.

Even Carlie was envious of Hilla’s beauty and air.

Carl was praised as a cold-faced beauty. But Hilla was more lively. Most people would like her at first sight.

Not to mention the men!

She understood why the higher-ups asked her to take care of Hilla. With Hilla’s beauty, it was difficult for her not to be with a powerful man.

However, Carlie was not a nosy person. She did not care about these things. All celebrities, including herself, had secrets. She did not want to dig others’ secrets out.

She only wanted to keep her own skeleton in the closet.

Hearing Carlie’s words, Hilla became even more desperate. She had no intention to arouse jealousy!

Carlie said a lot to Hilla, but all went into one ear and out of another. Hilla did not care about the character, and she just wanted to go home.

Compared to acting, even satisfying Bruce on the bed would be easier.

However, at the thought of last night, Hilla shivered. Should Bruce do that again to her, she would “die”.

As for the director thinking her suitable to play a prostitute, it was not a pleasant idea for Hilla, either.

Hilla heaved a sign. It seemed that she has no other option.

“Perfect! Just keep yourself in this mood and we will begin in a minute.”

The director shouted happily downstairs. Carlie was deservedly the Best Actress winner. Under her guide, even Hilla, who had never acted before, adjusted to the character’s mood.

Although Hilla’s acting wasn’t very skillful, at least she did not make the audience feel awkward. She performed well as a novice.

“Just sit here and keep your current state. The director will give you instructions.”

After Carlie finished speaking, she pushed Hilla back to her original position and tugged the veil to reveal her shoulder.

Now she looked more like a prostitute.

Hilla thought, “Are you all bandits? Can’t you respect my will?”

But when she thought of Carlie’s orders, the future of their studio, and the life of Halle and Emily, she… can only listen to them!

She only had to film one scene today. It wouldn’t take long.

As for a couple of scenes later, they wouldn’t be more difficult.

Although Hilla was trying her best to be mentally prepared, she was still in a bad mood, so much so that she looked sad and even a little bitter.

However, the director was getting excited. He said to Carlie, “She is talented. She will be very successful if she put her heart into acting.”

Carlie chuckled and said, “She is also a talented designer. I’m afraid she would not want to be an actress.”

The director was disappointed and said, “Get ready to start filming.”

Hilla didn’t know what this play was about. Sitting there, she felt like a gorilla in a zoo watching by the visitors.

She was even worse than a gorilla because she was acting as a prostitute.

When she thought of this, she couldn’t help but sigh again, wondering when it would finish.

The eyes of the director lit up in front of the camera. He couldn’t help but praise, “Good, very good. The sigh perfectly shows her sadness. Let the male lead prepare and walk by her downstairs.”

Hilla thought, “I had been sitting there for such a long time, why hadn’t it finished? Why should a sitting posture be filmed for so long?”

Just as she was racking her brains to figure it out, she heard someone from the downstairs shout, “Viola, turn your head.”

“Viola? Who is Viola?” Hilla thought.

She raised his head subconsciously and looked around, only to see that everyone was staring at her.

“Viola? Is it me?” Only after a while did Hilla remember that the famous prostitute she acted in called Viola.

As she looked in the direction the director pointed, she saw a pretentious man walk past her and the director shouted at her, “Smile!”

Hilla thought, “Smile? I can’t smile!”
