Nemesis Game novel Chapter 79

Clara looked at this in shock and was so angry that she was about to go up and argue with the makeup artist. Samantha hastily pulled her back.

Something was very wrong today. In the past, although these people looked down on her behind her back, they would not make things so blatantly difficult for her. So what went wrong?

"Clara, you go find the costume. I'll take care of my own makeup." Samantha was glad she had been trained by Gabriel, otherwise, she really would have been screwed today.

The make-up artists snorted and looked at her unkindly.

Clara held back her anger and went to the costume room, while Samantha took her own makeup bag and started putting on her makeup.

At that moment, someone outside the studio suddenly said, "Hurry up, Mr. Baker is here to see the shooting!"

When she heard Mr. Baker, Samantha thought it was Gabriel and relaxed instantly.

The makeup artist who was giving her a hard time also heard it. She was scared of Universal Entertainment, so she hurriedly grabbed the eyeliner from Samantha's hand and volunteered to do her makeup.

"Jones, it's been so long. Why haven't you done her makeup yet? The crew didn't hire you to come here for nothing!" Director Solomon and a man in a suit walked in. The man looked impressive and handsome, yet he had a pair of gloomy eyes.

The make-up artist panicked in her heart, fearing that she had been exposed for making things difficult for Samantha. So she made an excuse, "Director Solomon, Mr. Baker... It's my fault. I could not to meet Miss Powell's requirement. I'm sorry. I'm holding everyone back."

She looked like she was admitting her fault, but what she was trying to tell everyone was that Helena wasn't happy with the makeup she did and was deliberately making things difficult for her!

With that, Director Solomon became even more upset with Samantha, "Helena, we are all a team, you'd better stop messing around. It's not good for you to make so much trouble."

Samantha sat steadily on the chair and saw the man beside Director Solomon through the makeup mirror.

She was stunned. Luke?

The person who came to inspect the set was not Gabriel, but Luke?

Why? Didn't Luke never care about Universal Entertainment?

Luke also noticed Samantha looking at him, and his gaze met hers in the mirror.

He pursed his lips and smiled gently, but his eyes looked arrogant and gloomy.

Samantha shivered suddenly.

Luke was up to no good.

"Director Solomon, Mr. Baker, it was Jones who lied. It wasn't even that we didn't let her do our makeup, but that she didn't do it for us and made things difficult for us on purpose." Clara rushed out with the costumes in her arms and complained indignantly.

Clara thought that her complaint would be understood by Director Solomon and Luke, but Luke was still so silent.

Jones's hand shook as she drew the eyeliner crooked and almost poked Samantha's eye.

"Clara, I treat you well, right? I know you work for Miss Powell. There is nothing wrong with you speaking for her. But isn't it too much for you to set me up like this?" Jones pretended to be aggrieved and glanced at Clara.

Clara had never been articulate. She was young and inexperienced, and of course, she was stuck with nothing to say by Jones.

"You, you... you are the one who lies. There are so many people here who can testify." Clara was so mad that she actually thought of the other people in the dressing room.

Samantha's heart thumped and she sighed. Clara was still too young. How could these people testify for them when they were not related to them?

"Mr. Baker, Director Solomon, of course, we can testify! We testify that it was Helena who acted like a diva and wanted to change a makeup artist. And she deliberately did not let Jones do her makeup."

"It's all Helena's fault. She thought she was the lead and that the resources of the whole crew were going to be available to her first."

The remaining few make-up artists jointly spoke up against Samantha and all became Jones's helper.

Hearing these words, Clara was about to explode with anger.

These people were actually lying through their teeth!

Jones was then relieved, peeked at Luke and Director Solomon, wiped her tears again, and said, "Mr. Baker, Director Solomon, I’m okay. I'll do Helena's makeup right now, and I'll never delay."

Jones bent down and continued the action she just did. Luke, who had been silent, finally spoke up, and his low voice was as pleasant as a cello.

"You get out of the way," Luke commanded.

Today he wore a black suit, which was very different from the other day at the party.

He was arrogant and domineering that day, but today he was cold and cruel.

Jones's shoulders shook for a moment, and she hurriedly moved away and retreated to the side.

Luke was the God who controlled everyone here. Who would dare not give him face?

The make-up artists conspired to frame Samantha, and wow that when they saw Luke was going to give Samantha a hard time, they were all smiles.

The arrogant bitch! From today onwards, the crew was going to change!

Luke stood in front of Samantha and stared at her grimly, "Miss Powell, there's something I have to tell you. I'm not Gabriel, the one who's obsessed with beauty. Universal Entertainment is now under my jurisdiction. If you want to continue to take the leading role, you'd better do your filming in peace."

What Luke said was very serious and meant for something else.

No one knew that the person behind her was Gabriel. Wasn't Luke's plausible explanation telling everyone that her relationship with Gabriel was different?

Luke knew that Nia liked Gabriel, but instead he deliberately put a notorious woman like her and Gabriel together.

He was so ruthless! And it was like killing two birds with one stone!

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Samantha neither denied nor admitted, but simply avoided his question.

Of course, she couldn't admit it, but no one else would believe her if she denied it.

Luke's gaze deepened and he smiled intriguingly, "I don't care what your relationship with Gabriel is. If you are restless in the crew, then I will have to replace you. I hope you won't bring any more damage to the crew's reputation."

This was a blatant threat!

Not to be restless? She wanted to say that it was always someone else who set her up. When had she ever been restless?

Nope, Luke was so smart. How could he not know the truth about the crew?

So there was only one purpose, Luke didn't care what the truth was.

He just wanted to use it as an excuse to humiliate her and Gabriel.

Samantha shrugged her shoulders and acted as if she didn't understand.

Luke's several provocations were ignored by Samantha.

He sneered, told the crowd to get back to work, and went out with Director Solomon.

The makeup artist didn't dare to snub Samantha anymore and hurriedly put on her makeup.

Luke came to the set to watch the shooting in person, and Director Solomon, of course, had to entertain him as best as he could.

Samantha got changed into her costume and walked out. As she passed by Luke, he called out to her.

"Helena," He looked at her quietly, while his eyes showed a hint of grimness that made her shiver.

"Mr. Baker, what can I do for you?"

Samantha didn't really want to get close to Luke, because Luke was Gabriel's rival.

She and Luke were also considered enemies.

He laughed cruelly, "Don't you care about if Gabriel’s alive at all? You really are as heartless as a bitch."
