Chapter 60: Would You Stop Bothering Me?
Cathryn totally lost her patience. She looked up at the conductor with a look of disgust and contempt and said, "Would you stop bothering me? Why can't you give me change for a large bill?" Cathryn stood up and got right in the conductor's face. "Have you ever gone to school? You're so stupid! No wonder you're still a conductor at your age!"
Being verbally abused by Cathryn, the conductor became angry. She wanted to quarrel with Cathryn, but she was too busy working. After trying her best to restrain her anger, the conductor borrowed some change from the driver and gave it to Cathryn.
The bus route was very long, and the conductor needed to announce every stop. Today was Monday which was one of the busiest days of the week, and the passenger flow was above normal. Cathryn was supposed to get off at the Central Hospital station and suddenly heard the name of the next station, and she immediately raised her head.
Cathryn stood up and shouted at the driver, "Hey! Did you announce the Central Hospital stop?"
The conductor was already in a bad mood because of Cathryn and had been extremely busy all morning. There were always many people getting off at the Central Hospital stop, so the conductor accidentally forgot to make the announcement.
Now they had passed Cathryn's stop, and when the conductor heard Cathryn, she knew there was going to be trouble. Then she went right over to Cathryn and apologized, "I'm so sorry, but we have already passed your stop, Miss."
While she was apologizing, Cathryn slapped the conductor across the face. "It's useless to apologize to me! You're no good for nothing bitch!" Cathryn swore at the conductor again. She picked up her luggage and kicked at the door of the bus. She shouted at the driver. "Open the damn door right now!"
Because they were not at any of the destinations, the driver wasn't allowed to open the door. Cathryn became more anxious, she grabbed her phone from her purse and took a picture of the conductor's employee card. Cathryn raised her voice and shouted, "I'm going to call and complain about you. I will make sure you lose your job!"
After what Cathryn had just done and said, the tears immediately rolled down the conductor's cheeks, and she started to plead with Cathryn, "Please..please don't make a complaint to my boss. I will give you your money back. You can take a taxi back to the Central Hospital."
Finally, after making the conductor suffer, Cathryn took the money. As she was getting off, she was still cursing at the conductor. Cathryn didn't take a taxi right away. Instead, she took out her phone and searched for the number of the bus company. Then she dialed the number without any hesitation. She said with an evil smile, "Hello, I have a complaint."
That was the end of Cathryn's scene. Throughout the whole process of her role, Cathryn had thrown herself entirely into the part. 'I acted so detestably that even I hated myself,' thought Cathryn.
However, right after Sampson shouted "cut," there was a loud bang that came out of nowhere. Following the sound, everyone turned around and looked at Jordan. As everyone was watching him, he hit the bus stop sign while glaring at Cathryn.
Noticing the hatred in his eyes shocked Cathryn. Jordan looked angry, and his eyes became fierce and red. Then he clenched his fists, turned, and walked away.
'Why does he hate me so much? Is it because of the part I just played?' Cathryn leaned against the wall and put her head down. 'I just don't understand why he looks at me that way?' Cathryn wondered.
After the filming was finished for the day, Sampson made an effort to come over and talk to Cathryn. "Cathryn, your performance was impressive. You have amazing acting skills at such a young age," said Sampson.
Seeing her performance made Sampson look at Cathryn differently. After talking to Sampson, Cathryn got on the bus, and as soon as she sat down, she let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "Thank goodness, that scene is over!"
Cathryn figured she would be finished three days in advance by looking at the shooting plan for the next few days. She became excited and thought, "I can't wait to get home to Flower Island and see Keith."
Cathryn took out her phone and called him. He immediately answered. "Hello, how are you and our baby-making out?" His voice sounded calm and gentle.
"We are doing great, but even better now. I have some good news to tell you. I just finished shooting my first scene, and the director praised me for doing an excellent job." Cathryn exultantly told Keith. Warmth invaded her cheeks. "You have to go to the cinema to support my new film when it comes out?" Keith looked immensely relieved when he heard Cathryn's voice.
Keith looked up at the company executives in the conference room. They were all watching him intently while he was on the phone. A smile spread across his face. "Of course, I will," he replied.
After talking with Keith, Cathryn started to feel tired. She yawned and said goodbye to him. Keith hung up the phone and looked at the people in the room. "When the new movie, The Alert, comes out, I want all of you to go see it. Ask the rest of the staff, and don't forget to invite your family members as well," Keith declared.
After he was finished speaking, the room fell into complete silence. Cathryn had fallen asleep while waiting for the others to get on the bus.
Jordan had just finished shooting and suddenly sat down beside her. Cathryn had no time to react and looked at him with a blank expression on her face. He had totally caught Cathryn off guard as this was the last thing she expected. "Jordan, there are all kinds of other seats on the bus, why do you have to sit here?" asked Cathryn.
Jason was shocked by Jordan's behavior and decided to sit behind Cathryn to keep an eye on Jordan. Jason's lips held a faint smile, and he said, "I think Jordan gets a little carsick."
