The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 802

"You must be Miss Adams, right?" Jeremy asked Christina, reaching out his hand.
He had investigated the supporting actress of the movie. Besides, she looked close to Drake, so he could tell her identity.
Christina, however, looked at Jeremy's hand but wasn't ready to shake hands with him. To her, Jeremy was just a newcomer with no background and not worthy of her friendship.
Jeremy felt a little awkward. While he was about to withdraw his hand, he saw a pair of clear eyes.
Angelo held Jeremy's hand. Then she put on a smile and gently said to Drake, "Excuse us, Mr. Thorne, we have to prepare for the shooting."
After that, she held Jeremy to leave.
Looking at their back, Drake clenched his fists, and his face darkened.
Christina didn't know what was going on between Angeline and Jeremy, but she didn't care about that. She raised to look at Drake with dependence on her face.
"Shall we go, Drake?" she asked.
Drake wasn't used to getting angry with others, so he nodded and withdrew his arm.
Christina felt a little disappointed.
Drake didn't usually wipe her hands down, and all his changes were formed during the time she wasn't here.
In other words, it was all because of Angeline that Drake changed his attitude towards her. Ivy was right, she thought, Angeline shouldn't be with Drake.
"Come in, Miss Adams."
One employee's voice interrupted Christina's thinking. She looked up only to find that Drake had walked far.
She trotted up and gently held Drake's hand.
"Why don't you wait for me, Drake?" she complained in a low voice.
Drake, however, felt more irritated when he heard Christina. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Christina's tone before. But now, it made him feel sick.

He withdrew his hand and paced up his steps. Christina was stunned at first but then understood something.
She stomped but didn't follow up again. Instead, she went to her dressing room.
When Angelo entered the shooting spot, she let go of Jeremy's hand and smiled.
"Well, I just wanted to help you."
Jeremy knew what she meant. He nodded and fondled Angelo's head.
"Thank you."
Angelo was less resistant to Jeremy's move and took out the script to read.
Just then, Drake entered and happened to see Jeremy touching Angeline's hair. He was so upset that even his aura became cold.
Sensing the change of the atmosphere, Angelo raised her head and then saw Drake's cold eyes.
She hurried to lower her head but couldn't help looking at the back of Drake. Christina wasn't there. She felt delighted.
"Don't you need to read your script?" asked Drake indifferently.
Angelo stayed and looked up. She then found that Drake wasn't talking to her. She was puzzled. She didn't know Drake liked to meddle other's business.
"I read the script last night, Mr. Thorne," answered Jeremy with a proper smile.
"Then let's start shooting now," said Drake and looked at Clarence.
Clarence showed a helpless expression and looked at Angelo, seeming to ask for her advice.
Angelo nodded. She had read the script, and now she just went over it.
"Prepare yourself first. I'll send someone to call Miss Adams here," said Clarence, who was about to ask an employee to call Christina when she came over.
"I'm prepared, Mr. Wilson. We can start now," she said with a smile.
She had heard their talk in the dressing room, which was why she appeared so soon.
"All right. Let's start."
Then the actors stood at their own spot. The scene they were about to shoot was that the drunken heroine met the supporting heroine and had a conflict with her.

Angelo was dressed in red, holding a wine cup, and crossing her leg. Then she raised the cup and drank the wine down.
At this point, Christina, who was wearing a white dress, entered the bar. She looked at Angelo with a fierce look in her eyes.
"You're that bitch. I'll kill you."
With that, she grabbed a bottle from the table.
"Cut!" said Clarence suddenly.
"Christina, you have to pick up the bottle quickly, looking malicious, understand?"
He came to show the moves to Christina, who just nodded casually and glanced at Angelo.
"All right. One more time."
Then, Angelo repeated the acting just now. To make it look real, they had refilled her cup.
"Cut!"
When the camera turned to Christina, Clarence called to stop again. Then he walked to Christina and said, "Christina, your eyes should look fierce. You did great just now. Let's do it again. Watch your moves and eyes, okay?"
Christina showed an okay sign to Clarence. The shooting repeated, but there was something wrong with Christina at a detail.
"Cut!" said Clarence and then pointed out the problem of Christina.
They tried it again but brought another "cut." Things like this happened again and again, and Angelo drank drinks one after another.
Until she saw the provocative eyes of Christina, she came to understand that Christina did that against her.
"Christina, pay attention to the details. Let's finish the scene once, all right?" said Clarence, forcing a smile.
He seemed to understand something and was quite angry. But still, he held his anger.
"All right, Mr. Wilson. Don't worry. I'll make it work," promised Christina.
This time, just as she said, she did it perfectly, so it finally passed.
But this cup of drinks had become the last straw on Angelo. After the shooting, she covered her mouth and quickly ran to the bathroom to vomit.
Jeremy was worried when he heard the sound of water in the bathroom.
Suddenly, Drake said, "Don't waste others' time if you don't know how to act."
Everyone knew who he was talking to. They all looked at Christina.
Sensing the gaze from the crowd, Christina was annoyed. Drake had never said such mean words to her.
Just then, Angelo came out of the bathroom. She couldn't walk steadily, looking quite weak.
Drake was worried. When he was about to ask about her, Jeremy had run to her. He supported her and gently asked, "Are you all right?"

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
