Chapter 106 Uncle Will Make a Fortune Sooner or Later
Ebony guessed Lloyd would come to her.
After all, she just got there and offended the actress playing the heroin.
Considering Lloyd, a senior in show business, had known her before, it's very likely that he would come over in person to "teach" her, a newcomer, some so-called principles of treating people.
Ebony only pulled the door ajar.
She vigilantly looked at Lloyd who was standing outside the door.
She's waiting for Lloyd to say a word related to Dione. She swore she would immediately slammed the door as soon as he did it.
Lloyd was standing outside the door wearing a thin white sweater, holding the script in his hand.
Looking at Ebony with only one eye showing and the other being behind the door, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you going to open the door?"
Ebony said in an unkind tone, "First tell me what you're going to do."
Lloyd raised the script and showed her, "To rehearse lines with you."
"Otherwise?"
Seeing he didn't seem to be lying, Ebony opened the door.
Janet was in the room. When she saw Lloyd, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
Ebony sat on the couch and dug out her script from her bag.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Janet shyly holding a notebook and then asking for Lloyd's autograph.
Ebony suddenly thought it's quite unfair.
She said enviously, "You've been my assistant for half a month, and you haven't asked me for an autograph. I pay you!"
Janet stiffened, unable to speak for a while.
Lloyd took the notebook handed by Janet, gave her an autograph, and asked, "Are you her assistant?"
Janet was very surprised that Lloyd was actually speaking to her!
She nodded hurriedly and responded with a blushing face, "Yes, Mr. Vasquez, I'm Ebony's assistant, and I'm your fan! I've seen all your movies!"
Lloyd gave her a smile, returned the notebook to her and said, "Thank you."
Then he added, "She has a bad temper. Thank you for taking care of her."
Janet was puzzled by his words.
She knew that Ebony had a bad temper. But why did Lloyd thank her for taking care of Ebony?
"Hey, who do you think has a bad temper?"
Ebony didn't expect that Lloyd would speak ill of her and ruin her reputation everywhere.
She immediately became unhappy and highlighted, "I pay her six hundred dollars a month. Six hundred dollars! No discount!"
Lloyd gave a short laugh, sat next to her with the script, spread out a page, and said, "Let's start with this paragraph."
Ebony glanced at the page he was pointing at, turned to that page, and said her line first.
"Darling, you're back!"
Lloyd looked calm, leaned on the couch, and slowly answered, "Yeah."
Janet, "..."
Seeing that they were in character so soon, Janet did not dare to disturb them, so she quickly and quietly left the room.
When Lloyd left, it was already half an hour later.
Janet saw that Ebony was idle, so she came over to ask her if she wanted something to eat.
It took hours for them to arrive at the county and they hadn't eaten anything except an in-flight meal.
Ebony put down the script and said with an honest face, "I'm not hungry. I'll have dinner later. My grandma taught me not to eat anything else before meals."
Janet thought for a while and said, "It's free. A few boxes of snacks have been prepared for everyone to eat."
Ebony raised her head and said, "Then go fetch a box."
Janet, "..."
Ebony looked at Janet and asked, "Is there a limit to how many boxed a person can take?"
Janet, "..."
Janet finally had to have the audacity to take a reusable bag.
Under the frequent gazes of the people of the crew, she came back to Ebony with a bag full of snacks.
Ebony was quite happy, and put out all the snacks, hesitating about which one to eat first.
Janet came to her at this time, and asked in a wheedling kind of voice, "Ebony, are you familiar with Lloyd?"
Ebony took a jelly, sipped a mouthful, and said, "Somewhat."
Janet became excited after hearing her answer, "Then can you persuade Lloyd to take a picture with me?"
Ebony looked at her strangely, "Why didn't you take a picture with him just now?"
Janet said in embarrassment, "He doesn't like taking pictures. All his fans know that. I don't want to burden him, but I really want to take pictures with him. Please, please."
Ebony clicked her tongue and said, "If he doesn't like it, I can't force him."
Janet lowered her head in despair, knowing that she had no choice, and sighed, "Well, forget it."
Then she took out her mobile phone and started looking through Twitter.
She found the tweet with the picture of Lloyd's autograph that she just posted already got hundreds of comments. Janet was very surprised, and replied happily at once.
After eating for a while, Ebony saw Janet was looking through her mobile phone, so she glanced at it.
She was stunned at the sight of it.
"Seven hundred dollars?"
"What?" Janet was confused at first and then realized Ebony was referring to a comment, so she said, "Oh, the girl who comments that is a die-hard fan of Lloyd, and she likes to collect the autographs of Lloyd. She wants to buy the autograph with seven thousand dollars. Hum, I don't sell it."
Ebony instantly put her head close to the screen of the phone.
She stared at the comment asking for buy the autograph for a while. Then, while taking out her own phone, she said to Janet, "Wait for me. I'll add her as a friend."
Janet, "..."
Ebony often stole her own Twitter password for her own account was run by her agent, so Dolores had no choice but to set up another account for her, allowing her to look through Twitter.
Ebony used that account to follow the girl who wanted to buy Lloyd's autographs.
Then she immediately sent a private message to her.
Uncle Will Make A Fortune Sooner Or Later: [Is the seven thousand dollars after tax?]
She got no reply.
She was a little anxious.
She got up and was about to go out.
Janet asked, "Ebony, where are you going?"
Ebony grabbed a few packets of snacks and replied, "I'm going to give some snacks to Lloyd. I'm his fan. I like him very much and I have seen all his movies."
Janet, "..."
Ebony finally found Lloyd in Elvin's room.
There were not only Elvin and Lloyd in the room, but also the screenwriter and Dione.
It looked like they're holding a secret meeting.
Elvin was embarrassed when he saw Ebony coming in.
He said as if to make up for something, "Come in, I just want someone to invite you."
Ebony only had Lloyd in her eyes, and did not take into account the unnatural expression of Elvin.
Holding two packs of snacks and a small notebook, she sat across from Lloyd.
Dione, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly asked in a shrill voice, "What do you call her for? We have a meeting. Does it have anything to do with her?"
Elvin frowned, "You're supposed to keep silent."
Ebony looked at Dione at this time.
Dione sneered at Ebony, "What are you looking at? I'm talking about you! We didn't want to call you at all. Where did you hear that we're holding a meeting? No one asks you to come here. Oh, my god! Are you holding a notebook and a pen? As far as your role is concerned, do you really think you're an important part? Are you qualified to have a meeting with us?"
"Dione!" Seeing that Dione had gone too far, Elvin scolded her directly.
Ebony stared at Dione, but didn't say anything for a while.
Dione continued to sneer, "When you scolded my assistant before, wasn't you a great talker? Why don't you know what to say right now?"
Ebony shook her head and refuted, "No matter how talkative I'm, I can't talk to a magpie and communicate across species. After all, magpies can't understand human words."
Dione stood up all of a sudden, "What did you say?"
Ebony leaned against the chair and said slowly, "Can't you understand what I said? Hmm, it's normal for you to fail to understand it. If magpies could understand human words, Darwin could have jumped out of the coffin."
"Elvin, did you hear that? She actually scolded me!"
Ebony blinked, asking, "What did I scold you for? Don't slander me, Okay? I'm a good person and I don't quarrel with a magpie."
"You! You bitc..."
"Enough!" Elvin questioned loudly, "Are you here for a meeting or for a fight?"
Ebony laughed at this moment, stood up directly from the chair, turned around and left.
Elvin almost had a headache with worry when he saw her leaving.
But Dione was very happy, saying, "The annoying person is finally gone."
Before she finished speaking, Lloyd stood up from the couch.
Elvin immediately asked, "Where are you going?"
Lloyd said, "Go to coax her. I don't know what to do if I can't coax her."
After that, he left.
