Chapter 1823: Chapter 1817: Actions That Bring Disgrace Upon Oneself

"Paul, could you get more water? We’re running out here."

In the entertainment industry, top-rated young idols willingly obey Joanna Lawrence’s orders, scurrying off to do whatever she tells them.

An hour later.

"Porter, take this to Faye." Joanna Lawrence plates some food and calls Porter Rushbrook over, instructing him, "Take this to Faye’s room."

"What’s this?"

Porter looks down at the dish in the bowl, pauses, then lifts his head and asks, "Only for Faye?"

"Yes, only for Faye."

"And the others?"

Porter glances at the camera filming them and whispers to Joanna Lawrence, "Shall we also invite Coco and the rest for a bite?"

Of course, Porter knows that Joanna Lawrence and Coco Wadsley don’t get along well.

But if she only brings food for Faye Lister, when this part is aired, she will certainly raise suspicion.

People will definitely accuse her of deliberately trying to curry favor with Faye Lister.

They’ll also suggest that she doesn’t get along with the other cast members.

In a nutshell, such actions would do her nothing but harm.

The media loves to make mountains out of molehills, creating headlines just to increase the click rate.

Her actions will undoubtedly be exposed.

No matter her intentions, in the eyes of netizens, her behavior would certainly be critiqued.

It’s as if she’s inviting negative publicity.

Porter is, in a way, hinting at her.

But whether Joanna Lawrence didn’t understand his suggestion or didn’t care, she shakes her head and says, "No need for the others. Just take it to Faye."

Porter:"..."

"Off you go." Joanna Lawrence pushes the bowl into his hands, "The dinner is about to start. Come back once you deliver it."

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Porter finds it hard to argue. He simply nods and says, "Okay, I’ll deliver it."

Finished his sentence, Porter leaves with the bowl.

Joanna Lawrence, of course, knows that Porter was hinting at her, but she doesn’t want to do things she dislikes for the sake of portraying a certain image on the show.

Faye Lister had helped her in the past and had been quite friendly towards her.

Joanna Lawrence feels that it’s only right to be kind to Faye Lister.

Because she quite likes Faye Lister as well.

But Annie Lawrence and Coco Wadsley...

She thinks it’s best she maintained the status quo.

At best, she can maintain a cordial facade, but she cannot feign deep bonds of sisterhood with them.

Meanwhile,

James Harold and the rest had just finished their instant noodles when Quin Simpson and Paul Wood emerged from the kitchen with freshly cooked meals.

The rectangular wooden table was full of food.

The dishes were well-balanced in terms of meat and vegetables, looking and smelling delicious. In particular, the Pork Roast and General Tso’s Chicken seemed especially appetizing.

As a young man, James had been busy for hours, only to have a bowl of instant noodles.

Moreover, he’d only poured boiling water over them, without actually cooking.

As can be imagined, one bowl of instant noodles was far from satisfying. After eating it, he did not feel full at all.

When he saw the Pork Roast on the table, his eyes turned green with envy.

Conversely, Quin Simpson, being a bit naive, noticing James Harold staring at the food on their table, enthusiastically said, "James, you only had instant noodles for lunch, is that filling? Look at this, it’s what Joanna prepared for us. Balanced and nutritious. It’s awesome, right?"
