The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 47: Focused on Eating

"I’m sorry, my head feels a bit dizzy... I seem to be not quite myself." Kiki said, touching her forehead, her lips pursed, looking frail.

She had used this trick more than once, and it always worked, because Kiki discovered that people around her seemed especially forgiving, no matter how badly she had acted; as long as she made up a decent excuse, she could earn their trust and forgiveness.

Sure enough, the staff quickly forgave her: "Kiki, do you have a headache? Would you like to step outside and take a look? If you’re not feeling well, don’t force yourself to stay here."

Kiki weakly nodded: "Thank you for your concern, but I’m feeling much better now, just need a bit of rest here."

Leave? How could she leave so easily? If she left, who knows how Maya might steal the spotlight? Clearly, she was the star, she couldn’t let Maya outshine her again.

Felix Price, the producer, also attended the wrap party, dressed in an elegant suit, his face brushed with a beard, his eyes exuding steadiness and acumen.

Felix Price chatted with Shane Morgan briefly, then walked towards the seat. Many actresses of varying statuses approached to talk with him, all of whom were dispatched after a few words.

On seeing Felix Price, Kiki’s eyes lit up instantly, she lifted her dress and elegantly walked towards Felix Price.

"Brother Felix..."

Felix Price had a good impression of her and greeted her with a smile: "Oh, it’s Kiki. How is it? It must have been hard work in the crew, right? I heard from Director Shane Morgan that you always perform very well."

There was a hint of amusement in Felix Price’s eyes: "Choosing you was indeed the right decision, you’re a courageous girl, and your performance is excellent as well! I believe one day you will shine brightly."

Kiki shyly lowered her head: "Without your recommendation, I wouldn’t be here today. I’m truly grateful for your kindness and recognition."

Felix Price laughed heartily: "I have great faith in you, I believe you won’t let me down!"

At this moment, Kiki finally felt a sense of balance within her heart, Maya was after all not as good as her. Kiki instinctively glanced in Maya’s direction. Now Maya was no longer chatting with those around her, she pulled down her large hood, covering her fair forehead, her sharp brows, and her crimson lips faintly visible.

She slumped against the seat like a spineless person, displaying no proper posture and didn’t even look up at the commotion Felix Price stirred.

Kiki withdrew her gaze, her smile was somewhat strained. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Felix Price had already spotted Leo Lancaster, whom he deeply appreciated, and immediately went over to greet him: "Lancaster, long time no see, it seems like it’s been half a month since we last met..."

Leo Lancaster stood up, a gentle smile on his face as he shook hands with Felix Price: "Indeed, it’s been a while, I didn’t expect Brother Felix would remember so clearly."

Felix Price laughed heartily, then looked towards Maya beside Leo Lancaster: "This must be Maya Monroe, the one playing the second female lead."

His words carried a touch of disdain.

He wasn’t entirely sure it was Maya because the image he saw of her was vastly different from what he’d seen before. Even though Shane Morgan often praised Maya in front of him, changing a fixed impression of someone isn’t easily done with a few compliments.

Maya was still absorbed in her game, she was nearing level 1500.

Being ignored by others, there was inevitable awkwardness in Felix Price’s face. He was a famous producer, usually met with adoration wherever he went, never before being treated so coldly.

Leo Lancaster gently patted Maya’s shoulder, softly reminding her: "Little Maya."

Maya’s hands didn’t stop moving, she still didn’t look up: "Let me finish this round."

Felix Price’s expression stiffened, even more convinced that Maya continued to lack social intelligence.

Leo Lancaster spoke on her behalf: "Little Maya is usually someone who’s very serious about her work, for instance, if she hasn’t memorized her lines, she won’t do anything else."

"Focusing on one thing, that’s commendable..." With Leo Lancaster speaking up, Felix Price had to show him some respect.

As the familiar icon appeared, Maya finally passed level 1500. She recalled the earlier situation, lazily lifting her head, her hat still on, revealing only a pair of bright, sharp eyes. She nodded lightly, with an air of nonchalant authority, resembling a leader more than Felix Price himself.

Felix Price suppressed his urge to leave in anger for quite some time, someone unaware might think he had eagerly run over to greet and pay homage to Maya.

"My sister’s personality is quite unique... Brother Felix, please don’t mind it." Kiki chimed in.

Felix Price forced a smile: "No worries, where were we just now?"

"The filming during this period was very exhausting, thanks everyone for their efforts... Let’s celebrate the successful wrap of ’Wandering Beyond the Horizon,’ wishing great ratings! I’m treating today, everyone enjoy yourselves at will!" Shane Morgan stood on the stage, holding a microphone, passionately expressing his sentiments and well-wishes.

People below the stage clapped enthusiastically: "Successful wrap! Wishing great ratings!!"

Maya also pretended to clap a couple of times, then fully immersed herself in eating.

Leo Lancaster sat beside her, occasionally helping her with some dishes.

Maya had just swallowed a meatball, her voice muffled: "Stop serving me, I can get it myself. Aren’t you worried about the rumors of us being photographed together so intimately?"

Leo Lancaster merely smiled, using serving chopsticks to give her some cold cucumber salad: "You’ll get tired of meat if you eat too much, try this. It’s quite refreshing."

A plain plate of cucumber, with different plating and a bit of decoration, instantly exuded an air of luxury.

Maya pouted, she didn’t like vegetables, she only liked meat.

However, she couldn’t let food on her plate go to waste, so Maya finished it all.

There was a softness in Leo Lancaster’s eyes, looking at Maya’s chubby cheeks, she seemed extraordinarily cute.

Leo Lancaster’s thoughts drifted away, he seemed to see again the little girl from those years, mischievous and outspoken, reaching out her tiny chubby hands commanding people around.

At this wrap party, everyone had different thoughts, they were all plotting for their future, making small talk with the director and others during breaks, hoping to secure roles for the next drama.

Some were chatting, some were reflecting, but only Maya was purely focused on eating.

After eating to her heart’s content, Maya wiped her mouth, restoring her slightly distant beautiful appearance. She wore no makeup, while other artists seized the break to touch up their makeup in the restroom, Maya still lazily sat at her seat.
