She Becomes A Hot Sensation After A Scandalous Affair
Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 234

The first day of filming proved far more hectic than Madeline could’ve expected. She had never been a director before, so it was honestly overwhelming how many things a director had to do before the cameras could roll.

"You don’t need to worry about these. I’ll handle everything," Lance assured, noticing Madeline was so busy rereading the script.

"It’s a movie about us. I don’t want to ruin people’s expectations," Madeline replied. "I’m almost done reading the script. I think we can start filming the first scene."

"Everyone’s ready. Let’s work together to make a good movie, babe," Lance said, offering her a reassuring smile as he took her hand and led her out of the director’s room.

They sat in their director’s chairs as Olga readied herself for the first scene of ’Hot Sensation’ movie.

Olga was so nervous because this would be her first day of filming. Like what she told Madeline before, besides being in a high school drama club and two years of acting major, which she quit halfway through, she had no experience in front of the camera.

She glanced at Madeline and Lance, who were sitting on the director’s seats, giving her a stern look as if they had to be professional for the filming.

Olga took a deep breath and said, ’I can’t mess this up. Madeline has given me so much support and the chance to change my life. So I have to be great at it.’

"Okay, I’m ready!" Olga said as her heart was brimming with excitement.

"Alright, all cameras are set, three, two, one... action!" Lance gave the cue.

Olga immersed herself completely as she transformed herself into Madeline Rose.

The woman who had been wronged by malicious gossip.

Madeline wiped her tears as she read the scandal about her and Jonathan Hale, and everyone turned their back on her.

Everyone mocked her, calling her dirty names that destroyed her self-confidence.

"Why does nobody trust me? I’m not a bitch! I didn’t know that he has a wife and a child!" Madeline yelled as she tried to post a clarification about herself on Instagram, only to be bombarded by hundreds of hate comments that forced her to delete the post and lock her account immediately.

She threw the phone away and slumped on the floor in her room. She hugged her thighs, burying her face, and cried as she knew that she was all alone now.

Nobody would help her, and the first thing she worried about was her family.

"What should I do next? I’m the breadwinner in this family..." Madeline murmured. "How am I supposed to pay for everything now that my career is ruined?"

Madeline’s distress, desperation, and fear were pasted on her face, but she didn’t know what to do next.

She was trapped in this hellish circle of people hating her nonstop, and she decided to ignore her assistant, manager, and even agency.

All she wanted to do was to hide so nobody knew that she ever existed.

"This is my life now. I can’t show my face in front of anyone," Madeline murmured sadly.

"Cut!" Lance called out. He replayed the scene on a mini-screen in front of him and nodded. "Okay, that’s great. I don’t see any mistakes, and the emotion is conveyed perfectly! Scene is done!"

Olga let out a relieved sigh. She was less stressed now that she realized it wasn’t as scary as she expected.

On top of that, portraying Madeline Rose wasn’t as difficult as she had imagined because she felt a similar depression and desperation as her.

She might not be as pretty as Madeline, but she could understand the feeling when the world is against you and you have nobody who would lend a helping hand.

"We will shoot the next scene in thirty minutes, so get yourself ready!" Lance announced. He turned her head towards his beloved and saw Madeline staring at the mini screen in a daze, repeatedly watching the same scene. "Babe?"

"Ah—"Madeline snapped out of her daze. "Sorry, I was distracted."

"Are you okay?" Lance asked with concern.

"I’m fine. This scene just takes me aback. Because I experienced this in real life, which was honestly as depressing as this one," Madeline explained. "It feels strange that I’m watching myself through that sad situation."

Lance’s lips thinned.

This was the reason he opposed it at first. Because he knew Madeline had experienced a lot of traumas in her life, and he believed forcing her to relive those traumas was inhumane.

But it was Madeline who insisted on it in the end.

"Don’t worry about me. I’m just slightly surprised, that’s all," Madeline smiled. "I hope the audience will understand me more after this movie’s release. I want them to see what I went through."

"They will," Lance assured her.

Olga returned to the set with a completely different makeup and outfit, which signified the change in Madeline as she had to do something for her family.

Olga stared at Madeline with a complicated look.

She read the script already and knew this was the moment when Madeline must cast aside her shame for money.

It made her sad and guilty because she had been one of the haters who called her ’slut’ and ’whore’ on the Internet. After all, Madeline acted like one.

Now that Olga was in Madeline’s shoes, she felt humiliated and exposed.

"Okay, get ready!" Lance cut through her thoughts as everyone assumed their positions.

"Three, two, one, action!"

—Hot Sensation Scene #2–

Madeline stood before a full-body mirror, her makeup heavy, hair dyed blonde, and eyes hidden behind blue contact lenses.

She also wore a skimpy dress that barely covered her butt.

She tried to pull her skirt down repeatedly, but it still showed too much skin for her liking.

"It’s too short. I don’t want this..." Madeline whimpered as she was on the verge of tears, staring at her exposed body.

Desperately, she searched for a longer skirt in her wardrobe, only to pause, realizing she wouldn’t be able to sell her skank persona if she kept herself modest.
