The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 179: Playing The Same Trick

Suzy arrived at the production site where the scenes of the 'Demonville' would be filmed. It was their first day, and she felt a little nervous being the center of everyone's attention. She knew that she would be under scrutiny by others for being selected for the female lead role rather than the other more popular actress that came to audition for the very same role.

As expected, the rest of the crew were busy setting up the props to be used, ignoring the cast of the series and focusing on their own tasks, which Suzy admired. She thought that perhaps they were already used to seeing celebrities and that they weren't bothered by their presence anymore.

As she entered her dressing room with her assistant, she stopped and looked around, her eyes swept around trying to see if there was anything suspicious within. She hadn't forgotten Jennie's warning and wanted to make sure that Krystal wouldn't try to pull something against her.

"Miss Bae, is there something wrong?" Her assistant asked, seeing that Suzy remained still in her place and hadn't moved at all for a minute.

"No." She replied, "but you better make sure not to accept gifts for the meantime. President Lee wanted to make sure nothing wrong would happen until the series is over."

Her young assistant understood, knowing that anything could happen within the production's six-month period, especially now that Suzy just got her break by securing the lead role.

It wasn't Suzy's turn to act in the scenes, so she had enough time to memorize her lines while waiting. With her clothes and makeup ready, she only needed to wait for the production staff to call her to the set.

As she waited for her turn, someone knocked on her door, disturbing her. Suzy placed down the script she was reading and gestured for her assistant to open the door for her, thanking her in the process.

When her assistant opened the door and let her guest in, Suzy wore a blank expression on her face upon seeing that it was Krystal. Indeed, her manager had been spot on when Jennie warned her that Krystal would try to befriend and get close to her. Perhaps her manager knew Krystal's personality so well that she could understand her half-sister's motives.

"Miss Lee, is there something I can help you with?" She asked, tilting her head on one side as she stared at Krystal's meek and gentle persona. If she hadn't witnessed herself how this woman could be vicious using her words towards Jennie, Suzy would easily fall for this woman's scheming.

Now, she wanted nothing but to kick Krystal out of her dressing room and stay away from her. It wasn't like she was believing every word Jennie had told her, but seeing Krystal reminded her so much of her conniving younger sister, Bae Min Ah.

The only reason why she was able to get a big role this time was because Min Ah cannot influence the director and the producer. They weren't someone she could easily bribe to drop Suzy off the casting.

"I came today to wish you good luck on our first day. Let's do our best, so everyone can enjoy the series once it's released." Krystal replied with a wide smile on her face.

"Here, please take this!" She lifted a bag containing two bottles of lemonade, showing it to Suzy.

"I made this earlier as a friendly gift. Please accept and enjoy it." Krystal added, patiently waiting for Suzy to take the bag from her hands.

It was obvious that she wouldn't leave Suzy's dressing room, not until the latter accepted her offer.

Suzy looked at her and then to the lemonade bottles. Wasn't this what Jennie had warned her about as well? Krystal wouldn't waste time and would try to find ways to kick her off the cast and replace her as the lead role. However, declining Krystal on the spot may also lead to rumors that she and the second female lead didn't get along.
