Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 223 Changing Couples

"Of course!" Amanda rolled her eyes. "She knew Lucas was joining this reality show, and since Olivia, as part of his team, would be here too, chances of our boss showing up increase. So, she insisted on participating. She even sent many gifts to the show's director. Originally, another less popular female star was paired with Lucas, but the director switched her out for Chloe." As they spoke, the door to the makeup room was pushed open. Chloe walked in with a light laugh. "Amanda, I just wanted to greet Lucas. I hope we can take care of each other during the upcoming work." Neither Lucas nor Amanda had a good impression of her, especially Amanda. Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, she had seen all sorts of people. While many female stars had their ambitions, they usually concealed them to some extent. Chloe, however, wore her ambitions openly on her sleeve. From the moment she entered, although she spoke to Amanda and Lucas, her eyes were fixed firmly on Allen Parker, scanning him from head to toe like a scanner. Chloe smiled and said softly, "Boss, your tie looks great today. Did your stylist pick it out for you?" The flattery was awkward. Men's suits didn't vary much in color, and Allen Parker was wearing a dark gray tie today, matching his suit. If Chloe hadn't mentioned the tie, Emily wouldn't have noticed its color. She struggled to find a topic to talk to Allen about. Amanda smiled and stepped forward, blocking Chloe's view of Allen Parker. "You should go back and get ready. The recording is about to start." "I'm not in a hurry; my makeup is already done. I'll go with Lucas to the recording so the director doesn't have to come to my room to call me." Chloe smiled even more seductively. "Directors work hard, and it's good to help reduce their workload. I remember the boss saying that work efficiency is more important, right?" She redirected the conversation back to Allen Parker. Allen Parker furrowed his brow, glanced at her skeptically, and questioned mildly, "Your makeup is done? I see your eye makeup isn't even done." Allen's implication was for her to go back and not annoy people here. But Chloe had no intention of leaving. She chuckled lightly, flicked her hair deliberately, revealing her neck and collarbone innocently and sweetly. "I'm not very good at makeup. Unlike Olivia, who has a makeup artist friend. Olivia's makeup is meticulously designed every day, and I bet she really cares about you." Emily thought to herself, Chloe and Grace should be mother and daughter. Olivia couldn't help but snap, "Chloe, are you crazy?" "Olivia, how can you insult me like that?" Chloe frowned slightly, looking like a victim. "Did I say something wrong? Everyone knows now that Lucas has a very talented makeup artist. You and Emily are friends; hasn't she ever done your makeup?" Actually, no. Emily had only been a makeup artist for a few months. During this time, she had been juggling between the Reed, Morgan, and Norman families and hadn't met Olivia very frequently. Each time they met, it was either for work or shopping, never for leisure. "If you're free, you can go clean the toilet. The relationship between Emily and me isn't something you can meddle with! I suggest you save your plan!" Chloe looked even more aggrieved. "That's not what I meant..." Chloe was becoming more and more audacious. Amanda couldn't take it anymore and turned coldly, saying, "If you want to act, save it for the show later. This is Lucas's exclusive makeup room provided by the production team. Only Lucas and his staff are allowed in. If you don't leave now, I'll have security throw you out." Amanda's words were stern, finally causing Chloe to give up. She stomped her foot lightly in dissatisfaction, opened the door, and walked out. Amanda watched as she closed the makeup room door and looked disgusted. "No wonder she's friends with Sophia. They're both of the same kind, always on the hunt for wealthy men." Emily smiled but didn't say anything. Lucas interjected, "Well, this works out fine then. She's not interested in me, so there won't be any issues. Once this romance show is done recording, we won't need to see each other again." "You're being naive," Amanda countered directly. "Why do you think Chloe joined the entertainment industry? It's to find rich men! As long as she can get more famous, she'll do whatever it takes. Trust me, I've seen many women like her over the years. Be prepared; if you're paired with her on this show, she'll definitely use you." Lucas sighed in frustration. "Damn, can I apply to change a partner? Just seeing Chloe's face kills all my enthusiasm." "You should treat this like acting," Amanda replied quickly. "Reality dating shows are all scripted. Once filming ends, everyone goes their separate ways. Don't worry; it might be tough at first, but you'll get through it." Lucas sighed. "Amanda, you make it sound like I'm a male escort selling my body for the first time." "We're all adults; what's there to be afraid of?" Amanda said with a shrug. "There's a young girl in this show who just turned eighteen. She's a TikTok influencer. Do you want to work with her?" Lucas quickly grasped at this lifeline. "I don't mind, Amanda. As long as it's not Chloe, anyone else is fine with me." "But she's just a web celebrity, and there's a huge gap in fame between her and Chloe. If you're paired with her, it won't help much in gaining fans. But I heard her family is wealthy. She loves princess dresses; one of her dresses costs hundreds of thousands." Princess dresses? Emily remembered the young girl she had met at the Norman family's banquet. Her name was Janet, wasn't it? She was Mr. Satan's sister and also liked the princess style dresses.
