Chapter Twenty

Despite the movie having a new director, it was drama as usual on the set. Daisy had just gotten back to work when she heard an argument erupt in the rehearsal space.

“What do you mean Fiona and I are switching roles? You can’t do this,” lead actress Candy Caldwell said.

“I’ve already done it,” director Logan Lark replied.

Apparently not everyone was thrilled with Logan being the new director. Then again, this was no small potatoes. Daisy almost couldn’t believe her ears.

This was a huge shake up. Supporting actress Fiona Foster had complained a few days before that Candy had only gotten the lead role in the movie because she was sleeping with Hunter. Now with Hunter dead and Fiona’s boyfriend Logan in the director’s chair, the tide had turned.

Candy did not react well to being demoted to a supporting role. “This isn’t right.”

Candy looked like she was about to throw a temper tantrum like a spoiled little Princess. Actresses had a way of acting like bratty little kids sometimes. The sense of entitlement oozed right out of Candy. She was used to getting her way, and had meltdowns when she didn’t.

Logan wasn’t about to give any ground. He was not shy about wielding his directorial power.

“Did I say this was up for debate? You’re switching roles and that’s final,” Logan declared.

Candy’s temper really came out now. In her mind, no new director on a power trip was going to demote her from a role she slept her way into. “Or what?”

“Or you’ll be replaced,” Logan insisted.

Candy glared at him. “You have a lot of nerve.”

Candy then turned to her co-star and former boyfriend Ethan Crabtree for support, but received none.

“We’re not going to put up with this…right Ethan?” she continued.

Ethan wanted no part of it. “Don’t be dragging me into this.”

Candy was shocked. Ethan always stood up for her—until now.

Candy stormed on like a one woman army. “I don’t know where you get off power tripping anyway Logan. You’re only the director because Hunter is dead.”

“I told you before, this isn’t a negotiation. Fiona is taking your role and you’re taking hers—end of story,” Logan said.

Candy turned her anger on Fiona Foster.

“So that’s how it’s going to be then? You think just because you’re sleeping with the new director that you can steal the lead in this movie?” Candy barked.

Fiona was a firebrand herself however, and wasn’t about to roll over when accusations were leveled against her. “You’re crazy. The fact is, if Hunter had cast these roles based on merit in the first place, I would have gotten the lead. The only reason you got it was because you were sleeping with Hunter.”

Candy scoffed. “You’re delusional. Don’t you know who I am?”

“Yeah. A former beauty pageant contest who has no acting skills. You should have stuck to department store modeling. I can act circles around you,” Fiona declared.

Candy stared daggers at Fiona. Things were clearly getting out of hand. They could get nasty in a hurry. Candy looked ready to lunge at Fiona.
