Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: Putting on Quite a Show
Annie Anne furrowed her brows, closed the script in her hand, and watched the neighboring vehicles through the rearview mirror.
After what had happened before, Mia Carter must be everywhere trying to find leverage against her.
If she was late now and made the whole crew wait, it would be entirely her fault.
"Don’t worry yet, see if there’s a side road ahead and find a chance to shake them off."
"Hey, Annie, do you think we can take that road up ahead?"
The assistant’s palms were already sweating as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the upcoming fork in the road.
There was a crossroad in front of them.
If possible, a sudden lane change here could throw off the cars following them.
The assistant turned the wheel sharply, intending to break away through the fork, but the car tailing them was simply going too fast.
They didn’t brake in time and crashed into them forcefully.
Fortunately, there was some distance between the two cars and the assistant’s driving skills were good enough; otherwise, it would have been a ghastly accident.
A bearded driver came down from the car behind in a fit of rage, pointing at Annie’s car and starting to curse.
"What the hell is this? Just because it’s a star’s car, does it mean you’re too good for us, not even a turn signal for lane change? I’ve got a bunch of people in my car, what the heck are you trying to do!"
The assistant, already furious with the stifling pressure from the stalkers, was now directly provoked and got out of the car, rolling up his sleeves.
He pointed his finger at the bearded man’s nose and scolded him.
"You have the nerve to talk to me about this! Do you dare let the people in your car get off? I want to see if they’re even of age!"
"That tiny car of yours pulling eight people, must admit you’re quite the skilled driver."
The bearded driver was rendered speechless by the assistant’s remarks, knowing well it was disgraceful to be driving those young girls around as a paparazzi.
But they had paid too much.
He couldn’t resist the temptation and agreed to follow for a while.
He hadn’t anticipated an incident like this; the money he earned wouldn’t even cover the car repairs.
Annie Anne stayed in the shotgun seat, glancing at the time on her phone, waiting for the assistant to handle the mess.
Suddenly, a few young girls ran to the side of the car, practically pressing their faces against the glass, eager to see who was inside.
"That’s not right! This isn’t my beloved star, it feels like there’s a woman sitting inside? Could we have made a mistake?"
"I told you from the start this guy looked unreliable, but you all insisted on following him, and now we’ve missed catching our star and wasted time!"
"What bad luck, after all this time we ended up chasing the wrong car, and wasted so much money for nothing."
Annie Anne couldn’t be bothered with these kids’ bizarre trains of thought and continued to focus on her script.
The situation was dealt with after about half an hour.
As the car’s trunk was severely deformed from the collision, in a rush, Annie and the assistant had no choice but to take a taxi to the film set.
This had wasted even more time.
By the time they had finished with makeup and styling, almost an hour and a half had passed.
All the actors were already in place, the director was almost dozing off behind the cameras, just waiting for Annie Anne, the female lead, to arrive.
When Mia Carter saw Annie Anne hurrying over, dusty and disheveled, her beautiful eyes blinked, and in her unique, sarcastic tone, she slowly said,
"Ah, some people, I haven’t seen them in many dramas, but they sure act like they’re a big deal, to be late for such an important scene, making everyone wait."
