The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Ghost Killing Spell

Gregory Xander’s hem was caught, and he cleared his throat awkwardly as he looked at the person hiding behind him,

"Don’t worry, it’s just a person at the door."

As soon as he spoke, Ariel Zimmerman heard the director’s voice at the door, suppressing his anger.

"Teacher Zimmerman, open the door."

Ariel glanced at Gregory Xander beside her, then at the two-person room, obviously reluctant to open the door, and asked through it,

"Director, what’s up? I’m not feeling well today, my assistant has already asked for leave."

The director outside sharply twitched his lips upon hearing this.

Nearly lost his temper,

"What do you mean what’s up? Don’t you know what today’s shooting is? Today is your important scene, the set is ready, everyone is waiting for you! You just called in sick last-minute, that’s not appropriate, right?"

Previously, the director thought Ariel Zimmerman knew her limits, occasionally stirring some antics with the second female lead was fine, but skipping such an important scene today was daring.

It’s just a matter of giving her highlight to the second female lead, it’s not like she’s losing the female lead role.

Does she need to make everyone unable to work properly?

She’s not a newcomer, aren’t these things common in the industry?

If she can’t handle such situations, how will she move forward?

"Ariel, I’ll be frank with you, this matter is already decided by the producers and investors, even if you stir things up, it’s still the same, so why not keep some dignity for both sides and finish filming this drama nicely?"

"We’ve worked together before, everyone knows each other’s difficulties, you stirring things with me is one thing, but if the producers and investors know about this, they’ll just think you’re unreasonable, and no one will want to work with you in the future."

Ariel stood inside the room, listening to the director outside, her clenched fist tightened, but she softened her tone,

"Director, I really have an issue today, I’ve encountered some trouble..."

Before she could finish her words, the impatient director outside interrupted,

"Ariel, enough with using these excuses to fool around, it’s getting tedious!"

Ariel felt a wave of shame and anger hit her, especially with Gregory Xander present.

Not wanting to listen any longer, she stepped forward and abruptly opened the door.

The director outside was about to speak when he suddenly came face-to-face with Ariel’s noticeably sleep-deprived dark circles, and was instantly startled. Seeing the situation inside the room, he was even more dumbfounded.

Ariel actually hid a man in her room?

She didn’t sleep all night, what was going on?

Before the director could imagine further, Ariel, with reddened eyes, choked up and spoke,

"Director, I really have an issue, do you really not trust me?"

Choosing between confronting him head-on and feigning vulnerability, Ariel ultimately chose the latter.

No matter how harsh the director’s words were, he was stating the facts.

In this industry, falling out with someone is the most foolish move.

"What’s... what’s wrong with you?"

The director, seeing her like that, couldn’t help but ask out of concern.

Ariel knew that people in the entertainment industry rarely disbelieve in ghosts and deities, so she began talking about her recent ghost encounters, and pointed to Gregory Xander,

"I really almost died last night, it’s not that I don’t want to work, but I really can’t, see, I’ve even called my senior brother here overnight."

When the director heard the word ’senior brother’, he seemed to recall something, and upon taking a closer look at Gregory Xander, wasn’t this the recent famous ’Inspiration’ variety show’s Gregory?

Right away, he fully believed Ariel’s words.

After all, he had watched several live broadcasts, witnessing the abilities of Scarlett Jennings and this Master Xander.

When the crew started filming, he even thought about asking Ariel to invite one of them to host the opening ceremony, because in the industry, burning incense and worshipping during the initiation are big deals.
