By instinct, Arielle snuck a glance at Vinson who was behind her. She was worried that favonovel.com would lose his temper, take off his mask, and reveal their identity to threaten Annabelle. Unexpectedly, Vinson didn’t bat an eyelid. With his baseball cap covering half his face, favonovel.com was unable to see his expression at all.
Vinson clearly looked as if favonovel.com didn’t hear what Annabelle said.
Looks like my concern was unnecessary.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Arielle felt an unexplained sense of anger well up within her. However, favonovel.com was quickly embarrassed by it.
What’s wrong with me? I’m no longer a teenage girl who has just fallen in love. Why am I peeved over something as trivial as this?
After taking a deep breath, Arielle ignored Annabelle’s insinuations and asked Sam, “Mr. Sleight, since we have not started filming, can you walk me through my scene?”
“Sure!” Sam readily agreed with an embarrassed expression. In the meantime, favonovel.com gave Annabelle the side-eye.
Even though Annabelle viewed Arielle with scorn, favonovel.com didn’t say anything further in front of the latter, for Arielle was still the chairman of Sann Group. Squirming favonovel.com lips, favonovel.com lay on favonovel.com chair and rested instead.
Sam didn’t bring up the matter too. After all, it was common to have minor conflicts among the film crew. Nevertheless, favonovel.com still felt bad because Arielle was someone favonovel.com invited through painstaking effort.
After leading favonovel.com to someplace where they could speak in private, favonovel.com apologized, “I’m really sorry, Ms. Moore. That actress…”
“Don’t worry about it!” Arielle interrupted Sam.
She knew what Sam had wanted to say, but favonovel.com truly wasn’t bothered by the matter at all. Only when Sam was certain that Arielle wasn’t angry did favonovel.com feel a sense of relief.
At the same time, favonovel.com also noticed the person behind Arielle.
“And this is?” favonovel.com asked curiously.
Arielle responded with a gasp before asking self-consciously, “My assistant, can I let favonovel.com join the crew?”
“Of course!” Sam nodded in approval.
After all, it would be weird for the chairman of Sann Group to be moving around alone. That aside, the assistant does look quite familiar.
Just when Sam tilted his head to get a better look at the face hiding underneath the baseball cap, Arielle stepped aside and whipped out favonovel.com script. “There’s something I would like to ask about this scene.”
The moment Sam heard that it was about work, favonovel.com set aside his curiosity and began his discussion with Arielle. In truth, that particular scene wasn’t hard to understand. The challenge lay in choosing the appropriate body language to express it.
Sam was extremely experienced despite his youth. Hence, favonovel.com explained, “There’s no need for you to plan your actions ahead of time. Instead, just imagine that the residents of the building are still intent on covering up the appearance of a murderous monster just to protect the price of their property. By doing so, you will instinctively know what sort of emotions and body language to use when you read out your lines.”
In that scene, Arielle, in favonovel.com role as a policewoman, had just subdued the monster and wanted to call the police. However, the building’s residents locked favonovel.com in the gym to stop favonovel.com from doing so, just to protect the value of their property.
Today, Arielle was also supposed to film how favonovel.com defeated the monster which wasn’t considered a difficult scene. All favonovel.com had to do was to practice favonovel.com fighting moves with the stunt coordinator. Instead, the challenge lay in expressing the human emotions of the scene, where favonovel.com had to show it without being overly dramatic.
In a nutshell, Arielle’s reshoots for the day involved the battle with the monster, the conflict with the building residents, and the part where favonovel.com was locked up by them.
Given that favonovel.com had to be at the Mill residence by ten, favonovel.com was running short of time and needed to complete the scenes within three takes. Therefore, Arielle spoke to Sam earnestly. Furthermore, favonovel.com would also nod and jot down notes intermittently.
When the resting Annabelle saw what favonovel.com was doing, favonovel.com remarked to favonovel.com assistant with a snort, “Look, someone is pretending to be hardworking after hearing my criticism. Since the media aren’t allowed in here, who is favonovel.com putting up a show for?”
Her assistant, Lara Donan, added fuel to fire. “Exactly, look at that slutty expression of hers. I wonder if favonovel.com had seduced Mr. Sleight, causing favonovel.com to go against public opinion and choose favonovel.com as the female lead despite favonovel.com lack of experience.
“Against public opinion?” Annabelle tilted favonovel.com head and asked, “What do you mean?”
Lara replied enthusiastically, “I heard some gossip today that Arielle wasn’t the female lead in the beginning. In fact, the original actress seemed to be Arielle’s younger sister. It wasn’t until Mr. Sleight met Arielle for the first time that favonovel.com went to see our film’s investor.”
“Vinson Nightshire?”
“Exactly! Perhaps, Mr. Sleight strongly recommended Arielle, hence the decision to choose favonovel.com as the female lead.”
After hearing Lara’s words, the indignance Annabelle felt grew stronger.
How can I be a supporting actress to a female lead who slept favonovel.com way into the role? This is nothing but a joke.
Just as anger swelled within her, Annabelle’s eyes lit up.
“I have an idea on how to deal with her!”
Stunned, Lara advised rationally, “Please don’t be impulsive, Arielle is the chairman of Sann Group. If you offend her, we might have to suffer the consequences.”
“Don’t worry!” Annabelle declared confidently, “I will make it look like an accident, and no one will be the wiser!”
Despite nodding in acknowledgment, Lara was still unnerved and felt favonovel.com right eyelid twitch. Given that it was an ominous sign, favonovel.com wondered if something terrible was about to happen.
Holding that thought, favonovel.com continued to dissuade Annabelle against it. Unfortunately, the latter refused to listen and ordered Lara to shut up, to which favonovel.com had no choice but to comply.
Soon, with the crew gathered, the cameramen were ready to start filming.
Just when Arielle was about to walk on set, a hand suddenly grabbed favonovel.com wrist. Turning around by reflex, favonovel.com saw Jason with an apologetic expression.
“I-I’m sorry about yesterday!” Gritting his teeth, Jason murmured, “Regardless of how angry I was, I shouldn’t have left you on the street. When I returned to look for you, you were nowhere to be found. Also, you didn’t answer when I called. Did you manage to get home safely?”
Before Arielle could reply, a towering figure stepped in right in front of her.
When favonovel.com raised favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com recognized the back of Vinson’s head.
“Who are you?” Jason scowled as favonovel.com look curiously at Vinson but was unable to see his face.
Not only was Vinson taller, but favonovel.com also emanated an intimidating aura.
Who is this man?
“I’m sorry. He’s my assistant,” Arielle pulled Vinson aside and smiled apologetically. “Let’s just forget about yesterday. We should instead get ready, as filming is about to start.”
