The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 2

322.Slander in Public

Yeri's assistant followed Yeri around all day long. Yeri was highly dependent on her and gentle in front of others. She gave her all the good things. But Yeri would insult her assistant and even abuse her when they were away from others. Everyone in this crew hated her assistant, yet she had to take care of Yeri's emotions carefully.

Yeri's assistant was about to break down.

"Everyone says that about you?" Yeri covered her mouth in surprise. Her face was full of wonder as if that bewildered her.

"Yes!" Yeri's assistant nodded desperately. Tears rolled down her face. "So, can we stop all this nonsense? I'm also under a lot of pressure at work, we..."

"If other people hate you and say bad things about you, why don't you consider if it's because of you? Think about it carefully. Why are you so annoying?" Yeri's expression suddenly changed. She looked at her assistant without much empathy. She smiled. "work pressure? Everyone has work pressure. I'm offering you a highly paid salary, so you must work hard. If you can't take this stress, don't work. Stay home and depend on your parents!"

"How could you say something like that?" Yeri's assistant looked at Yeri in disbelief. Looking at Yeri's beautiful and pure face, she couldn't say a word. She felt disappointed, and her entire body trembled. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

When she assisted Yeri, she was responsible for completing all kinds of work. She was afraid Yeri would be uncomfortable while filming, so she was always careful. The things she had done were already worth the salary she had received. But she thought, "But how could Yeri say such a thing? Why was such a beautiful person's mouth so vicious?"

"Why are you crying? Don't cry. I'll listen to you, alright?" Suddenly, Yeri's expression changed. She looked helpless as she wiped the tears away for her assistant. Then, she said to her assistant, "I was giving you an opinion. Why are you crying? Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. From now on, I'll listen to you. I'll go talk to the director."

.....

The screenwriter happened to pass by. Seeing the situation, he stopped and asked, "What's the matter now?" As he spoke, he stared at his assistant with an unfriendly gaze, wishing he could kill her with his gaze.

"It's like this, Mr. Screenwriter. My assistant said that I shouldn't film the scene of me falling into the mud," Yeri bit her lip and looked troubled. She continued embarrassedly, "The assistant said that it's too ugly and doesn't fit my princess character. I..."

"I didn't say that! I didn't say that!" The assistant couldn't take it anymore. She shouted, "stop slandering me! It's you who don't want to film. It's none of my business!" She screamed and cried. She felt that she was embarrassed, but she couldn't control herself.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't be angry. It wasn't you who said it. It was me... I requested to change the scene," Yeri's face filled with indulgence and compromise, and she quickly said to the scriptwriter, "it was me. I am sorry. It was me who didn't want to shoot this scene. Alright... don't cry anymore. I've already talked to the scriptwriter." She coaxed her assistant in a low voice.

Yeri said this on the surface to admit that she wanted to change the scene. But in the eyes of others, her assistant forced her to change her words

"Yeri, why are you so good-natured!" The scriptwriter couldn't take it anymore. He scolded, "Your assistant is looking for trouble. She won't do anything. Why are you still tolerating her? She's about to step on your nose and replace you!"

"Mr. Scriptwriter, don't say that," Yeri shook her head with a worried expression. She explained, "my assistant has been under much pressure at work recently. She said that the crew doesn't like her and that everything she does is for my good. I hope that everyone won't misunderstand her... It's okay. It's all my fault for wanting to change the scene. It was my fault in the past too. I hope everyone won't hate my assistant in the future."

Yeri was a hypocrite. On the surface, she tried to help her assistant. But in fact, the more she wanted to cover it up, the more others would hate her assistant. The way everyone looked at the assistant became even more strange.

"No! I didn't do anything," The assistant cried until she was out of breath. She desperately tried to explain, but no one present believed her. An assistant who was always bossing the crew around and making people dislike her, and a pretty little princess with a gentle smile always used her money to buy milk tea for the crew... They would choose to believe the latter. The assistant covered her face in despair.
