Chapter Twenty-One: Diarrhea
“Are you done?” Eric is sitting on the makeup chair while his highly paid makeup artist diligently works asks Rachel, who just arrived. Rachel didn't reply, and she sat on the sofa with a satisfied grin on her face."Judging by the expression on your face—I'm guessing you were successful? Well, it looks like the rumors about that guy were true, huh?" Julia chimed in, sharing a sly smirk with Eric. She, too, occupied a makeup chair, undergoing her own transformation at the hands of a skilled artist. "Declan has a soft spot for the ladies."“Haha! It is done. The idiot and ugly guy is frantically running back and forth in the comfort room!” Rachel exclaimed with a wicked grin. “Haha! Ugh! Disgusting!”"Marcus made him coffee, so I made sure that I put the sedative on something that he has to drink. That way, the Director will suspect Marcus, and it will be all according to plan,"Rachel continued, her voice dripping with cunning satisfaction. "Good. Now, everything will go as planned.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Error
"WHAT?!" the Director yelled, taken aback by Marcus' words."What are you saying, Marcus?" The writer yelled in a bewildered tone. “You will do the stunts? You know that a professional must do those scenes, right? You are only a new actor and we wouldn't want you injured.”'Exactly, what is this loser saying? Did his head really get too big that he thinks so highly of himself now? Does he think that action scenes are that easy?' Rachel's thoughts raced, and her incredulous gaze fixed on Marcus."Declan said that I might be able to do it myself," Marcus explained with a determined look in his eyes, "and there is no hurt in trying, Director. I could try it for just one take, and if it doesn't work, then at least we tried."Despite being trapped, Marcus was actually confident in doing it himself. His skill, Hand-to-Hand Combat, had already leveled up to level 15, and what's more, this skill came from Victor Petrov himself, the role that he is playing!Silence hung in the air as the Direc

Chapter Twenty-Four: Heavenly Voice
JULIA shook her head slowly. "No, Rachel. I'm just sharing with you the tragic story of the director and because of his tragic past, and he's very protective of the women on his set. He wouldn't want any harm to come to them," Julia said as a playful smirk played on her lips.Rachel's heart began to pound as she started to grasp the meaning of Julia's words."You're saying... if I were to make it seem like Marcus had crossed a line…" Rachel's lips slowly curled into a sinister smile. “...the director would take it very seriously?"Exactly, Rachel. Think about it. You could secure your place in Eric's good graces while eliminating Marcus as a threat.” Julia tapped Rachel's shoulder. “All you need to do is play your cards right,” she added before going inside again, leaving Rachel by herself.

Another one commented. Most of them are girl as they were attracted by Marcus's body.‘Good thing I covered my face. I'm not bad looking, but I'm not bad looking either, but beauty standards these days are harsh. I should invest in my visuals and charm next time if I get experience points,’ Marcus thought.[shhh: Every Bit of Me is my favourite song! My mom loves it too! Even my mute dog sings it!]Marcus cleared his throat before he started."What would I do without your insight?Pulling me close, then pushing me wide.Capturing thoughts that dance in your mind.You are my guide."'Cause every bit of me, ev

"Seriously, what is this? Is the mission getting harder, or am I in hard mode?" Marcus muttered to himself, frustration evident in his voice.

And the penalty?!"The thought of facing XP and RP deductions hurts.It's already difficult enough to get RP, but if Marcus fails the mission, his hard-earned RP will be gone."Damsel in Distress?" he repeated, reading the translucent screen.

He can't believe that this woman just tried to escape from him after all he had done for her.Deven was about to yell at her when he saw someone with his wife. 'Who is that? An extra?' Deven asked himself. ‘Don't tell me this bitch asks for help from that guy? Is she not afraid of the consequences of her actions? Does she think that I will let this slide? She needs a good beating.’ Deven demeanor quickly changed as he approached Christina, and his face showed fake concern. With the presence of Marcus, he can't show his true colors."Christina, are you okay? Why did you leave like that?"
