Chapter 58: Fell into the Pool

Edie's break was over, and it was time to go back. She had a lot of filming to do today. After she finished eating breakfast, Stuart said, "I will take you back to the filming production." Edie almost choked on her milk and shook her head, saying, "No, I know how busy you are. Just let your driver take me."

Stuart saw how persistent she was and did not want to insist. So he asked his driver to take her. She ate her breakfast and was ready to leave. She leaned towards Stuart and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek and said, "thank you for the wonderful. I am looking forward to my next break."

Stuart had a sudden urge to grab her and take her into his arms, but he knew she would refuse him. Every day he spent with her, he could feel his heart getting bigger. The passion he felt just by her touch. Even one simple kiss on the cheek sent lightning bolts through his being.

Edie got into the car with the driver as she was looking back; she felt a sense of loss in her heart. She couldn't shake the feeling. On arrival to the Villa, Edie got the driver to drop her a little way from where she was staying. "Please stop here, and I can walk from here," she said.

"Mrs. Yates, the CEO, has ordered me to send you right to the door."

"It's okay. It's not very far from here. I would like to walk and gather my thoughts before I start filming." she said anxiously. If anyone were to see the car, she would have a lot of explaining to do. That was something that she wasn't ready for.

Her reputation in the group was not the greatest, and she really didn't want them all gossiping about her. Then, Edie directly got out of the car. About twenty feet away, an assistant of Zoe's saw Edie getting out of the car. A little stunned by what she had seen, she said with uncertainty, "Miss Anna, is that Edie over there?"

Zoe Anna was in the car, putting on her makeup. When she heard what her assistant said, she immediately sat up and pushed her assistant out of the way. She lowered the window and looked outside carefully. "It's Edie," Zoe looked a bit annoyed.

"She hasn't been here for a couple of days. Zoe turned her eyes towards her assistant. She asked her, "Did you see what kind of car dropped her off?" The assistant was trying to recall what kind of vehicle it was, "It was an Audi A6 sedan."

Zoe's eyes light up, and she stared at her assistant, asking, "Really? Are you sure you have seen it clearly?" The assistant nodded, "I saw the car when it passed us, and it was definitely an Audi A6."

Zoe mocked with a disdainful look, "Oh, I see now, I understand. She does have a relationship with someone powerful. How dare she try and compete with me?" Zoe knew that Edie could not afford an expensive car, so instantly knew there was someone with power and wealth in her life. Who was it, and how does she expose her?

"Miss Anna, shall we tell the media?"

"Are you an idiot? It's only an expensive car. We need more on her, and then we can expose her. The best way to deal with her is to watch her every move, and eventually, she will slip. We will find out exactly who she is and who she is with."

The assistant couldn't keep up with Zoe's thoughts and didn't dare to speak. Zoe narrowed her eyes and then stretched her hand out, "Where's my phone?" The assistant quickly handed gave her the phone.

Zoe dialed a number, and someone quickly answered. Her tone changed, and she instantly became affectionate and tender. "President Luis, this is Zoe. Oh, I haven't heard from you for such a long time!"

"Aren't you calling me to blame me for what happened with The White-Love-Song? How dare you contact me!"

"I am not blaming you! You have helped me so much, and I am so grateful for that."

"It's nice of you to understand. I really had no choice. If you work hard, I will arrange a lead role in a new series that is coming up."

Zoe knew that this guy is full of deceit and lies. You can only believe half of what he says. She secretly sneered in her heart and did not take anything he said gravely. But her tone became very aggrieved, "President Luis, I am afraid that my role has been stolen from me wrongfully. I was taken advantage of."

President Luis said indignantly, "Who would do such a thing! This is a drama of the Universe Entertainment, and now you say someone has taken advantage of you? That is unforgivable!"

"It's Miss Edie Lara, who stole my role. She is really arrogant, and I have been trying to be careful and not make her upset. She threatens me every day that she will drive me out of the group!" Then Zoe began to sob hysterically.

"How dare her! I'm going to look into this and see what kind of woman she is!" Zoe reached her goal and stopped her crying. She quickly hung up the phone. The assistant fairly admired her, "Miss Anna, you are so good at acting." Zoe curled her lips up coldly and threw the phone back to her assistant. She fixed her hair and prepared herself to go inside.

"I thought she had someone powerful backing her, so I slightly gave in to her. She is so arrogant, and now it's time for her to accept her fate.

It was the afternoon, and the first scene was of Edie and Queenie Fox. Because of the irreconcilable contradiction in their life experience, Susan Wilson and Abbey Sanchez had many conflicts in the early stages of the drama. Today was also a battle scene of battle to be filmed.

Edie went to the dressing room to put on her makeup and then went to the locker room to change her clothes. When Edie reached to open the door, she heard Rhoda talking to someone. She opened the door and walked inside.

The two of them looked up in surprise and saw Edie. She quickly passed them, and neither one of them said anything to Edie. Edie quickly changed her clothes and returned to production. This scene was being shot in an outdoor place that was selected from the Villa. It was beside the deck and the swimming pool.

Edie and Queenie stood in their positions, and the filming began. Abbey was dressed in a waitress's clothing and was frowning. She looked at Susan impatiently.

"Miss Wilson, you have already interrupted my work." Susan wanted to take out her pen and paper but was stopped by Abbey. "Well, I can understand sign language a little," she admitted. "If you want to say something, just say it. Please hurry up because the manager only gave me ten minutes for a break."

Abbey knew what she was talking about, but she just didn't want to communicate with her. Susan thought about what she said, and you could tell by the look in her eyes that she was disappointed. Her long white hands moved up and down like a fingertip dance. "Abbey, you shouldn't work here."

Abbey crossed her arms and sneered, "Where do you think I should work? In the city for the government? In Wilson Group? Or should I open a bookstore like you?

Susan was feeling a little anxious. "No, I have the perfect job for you. You should not be a waitress in a hotel..."

"Susan Wilson," Abbey interrupted her coldly, "In fact, I don't hate you. I know that what happened is not your fault. It was me that occupied your home for the past twelve years. I have returned it to you. Can you please respect my feelings and stop showing off in front of me?"

Susan widened her eyes, "I am not showing off in front of you."

"You and Hank Atkins. What do you want from me? Please just leave me alone and stop bothering me. I don't need your charity." Abbey left without turning back. Susan couldn't speak and had no way to stop her, so she had to pull Abbey's arm. Abbey impatiently shook her arm.

According to the script, Edie should have fallen to the ground and was discovered by Hank. Unexpectedly, when Edie was ready to fall down and because of Queenie's strength, the heel of her shoe was broken. The direction of her fall deviated, and she fell backwards out of control.

Edie fell into the pool.
