Chapter 215
Although she knew that Lisa would never demand her to pay back the money she owed, she still felt that she owed her friend too much and could not continue to keep on owing her money any longer.
Time and time again, Serenity knelt and touched her forehead to the ground, then got up on her feet… after which the cycle continued over and over again.
The other extras were doing the same thing too, but they were getting more and more restless. Some even demanded more pay since the work was more grueling than they expected.
Sensing that the extras were getting agitated, the director told his assistant to ask Aria what to do. Aria pretended to think about it for a moment before suggesting, “How about this… I think that woman is doing a pretty good job. Her posture is correct, and her timing is just right, Why don’t you get her to demonstrate it to the rest of the extras? They can study carefully how she does it, and once they understand, they can rehe ar se it again. This way, they won’t all be exhausted.
And the woman she pointed out was Serenity, of course.

“Still,” she added with false concern, ‘I’m not sure if that woman is willing to do it. After all, shell have to work a lot harder than the rest.”
“I’m sure she’ll be willing to do it once we pay her more! replied the assistant director, overjoyed. It would be much less of a problem if they merely let one extra get tired as opposed to making all of them tired. If they all went on strike, they would not be able to find replacements in time, and it would even cause an
unwanted commotion.
Letting just one extra kneel repeatedly was a much more manageable situation. He took Serenity aside and told her bluntly that if she was willing to do a demonstration for the rest of the extras, her pay would be tripled. But if she was not willing to do it, it would be considered a breach of contract, and she would not be paid a single dime.
Serenity looked at Aria, who was standing nearby. She could not help but find the smile on her sister’s face unbearable to see. She knew that Aria had done this on purpose. It was not about wanting her to demonstrate anything at all. Aria merely wanted to torment her. But still… in her current situation, getting. paid 150 dollars in a single day was just too tempting to refuse.
Besides, her knees had long been coa rse and bent. She had suffered so much more humiliation and torture in prison that kneeling and kowtowing felt like a walk in the park for her now.
Serenity looked past the assistant director and straight into Aria’s eyes before slowly but firmly answering, “Okay, I’ll do it!”
She walked up to Aria with a perfectly calm face, showing neither displeasure nor happiness, and she flatly asked the latter, “Should I demonstrate it to everyone here and now?”
“Umm…” Aria stammered before replying, “Sure!”
