“In that case, I won’t go…” Eric grabbed onto Emma’s hand, dragged her into her room and slammed the door shut behind them.
“The walls are thin here…”
After all, the film crew had not booked a fancy 5-star hotel.
“It’s fine…You won’t be able to make a sound after what I do to you.”
Emma felt, from the time they got married, although they had their intimate moments, they had never experienced the intensity of the last two days. They could continue from day through to night and it would not feel like enough.
Did this mean…her love for Eric had once again increased?
Early the next morning, before the sun began to rise, Eric got out of bed while Emma was still asleep.
Eric did not wake her up. He simply left her a note like she had left for him and returned to New York. He still had an important board meeting to attend that day.
After waking up, Emma looked at the note and headed straight to the film set. There was a huge obstacle waiting for her today. The big shot on set was waiting for her explanation.
“Emma, you’re back,” Amias looked at Emma helplessly as he walked to her side and whispered, “We are supposed to film your scene with Elder Black today, but…”
The crew had started to call Elder Roberts, Elder Black, because he had told them that his surname was Black.
“He still doesn’t want to film with me, am I right?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to film with you. You are the one that did not fulfill your responsibility as an actress. Just because it’s your husband’s birthday, does that mean you can abandon the entire crew? You’re acting too arrogant!” the old man scoffed as he sat to one side. “I hope I get to work with a real actor. If you can’t do it, I can ask to get you replaced.”
Emma furrowed her eyebrows because the old man did not hold back at all as he scolded her in from of the entire crew.
“Sorry, I know it wasn’t right of me to take a day off. But, in my heart, my husband holds the number one position. This will never change,” Emma explained to the old man. “I’m sorry for delaying everyone’s progress.”
In reality, according to Emma’s contract, it was fair for her to take a day off. Not only this, even if another actress was in her place and had worked so hard to complete so many important scenes, it was reasonable to take a day off for some rest.
The production crew couldn’t understand why the old man kept making things difficult for Emma.
Everyone was convinced by Emma, so what was the old man displeased about?
“I don’t care. Replace her, no excuses.”
Amias looked at Emma uncomfortably, “He is one of the investors, so…he has strong decision-making powers. Emma, you should try to coax him.”
“But…he’s not giving me a chance,” Emma responded.
Amias glanced at Emma and turned back to the old man, “Elder Black, what do you want Emma to do. Give us a condition and we can negotiate.”
“In what way have I displeased you? Don’t tell me that taking a simple day off was enough for you to completely deny my abilities.”
“Do you really think that your acting is better then Harlow’s? In my eyes, you are still far from her!” the old man scoffed. “Don’t be upset. Harlow’s acting is consistent, whereas, you overact in a lot of your scenes. Yes, you can use your talent to imagine you are the character you are playing, but you must remember you are a normal person. You can’t continue to be another person forever.”
“A normal person has a limit to how much energy they can focus on one thing. So, your quality of acting can’t be better than Harlow’s in every scene…”
“For a person to act as another person for a long period of time is impossible, unless they have multiple personality disorder.”
Elder Roberts evaluated Emma’s acting harshly. In fact, he did not state a single positive as he continuously insulted her.
“Plus…”
“You appear like you are willing to give up anything, but deep down, you carry a sense of arrogance,” the old man scolded. After speaking, he noticed Emma’s exp**ssion had not changed, so he calmed down, “It appears you are already aware of all this.”
If she did not agree with him, she would have already erupted in anger like any other person.
It’s not that Emma didn’t care, but what the old man said was indeed true. So, she could not refute…
Plus, in her eyes, this old man indeed had the right to scold her. After all, he was a lot more skilled than her.
“Not bad. At least you have the mental capacity to know not to argue back,” the old man lightened up after glaring at Emma for a while. “It’s better to be scolded by me now than to be scolded by the audience later.”
Emma remained silent as she listened to the old man nag.
As the crew watched the old man scold Emma, they were seriously afraid that Emma would storm off or do something even more frightening; after all, she had Eric backing her. But, she instead stood still like a guilty student being lectured by a teacher. She did not look embarrassed at all because she indeed felt she was wrong.
Actually, Emma was using the best method possible to deal with the old man.
Because everytime he scolded her a little, his anger would subside a little. In the end, he was left with nothing to complain about.
“If you want me to film with you, it’s possible. But, you will have to be my assistant for one week and see how my mood goes. Of course, I know you have a powerful husband, so you can also complain to him that you are being bullied and get him to come speak to me.”
Emma looked at the old man and then looked at Amias before she nodded her head, “OK.”
“You sure agreed quickly. Don’t start crying later on!” After speaking, the old man waved his fan and stood up.
Amias immediately turned to Emma and asked, “Should I postpone your shoots?”
“No need Amias. Just try to schedule all my shoots this week for the night. I can handle it. Don’t delay the entire production’s progress because of me,” Emma replied sincerely.
“OK. If the old man bullies you too much, let me know,” Amias instructed.
“OK,” Emma nodded her head.
A little while later, Flossie rushed to Emma’s side and apologized, “Emma, sorry I was a bit late. Should we tell Mr. Roborts about what happened?”
“You shouldn’t be sorry. Don’t tell Eric about this. I can handle it.” After speaking, she quickly followed after the old man. However, the old man did not stay at the hotel like the rest of the crew. He instead lived in a small house nearby. In his spare time, he would play with his cats and dogs or grow some plants in the garden.
“From today onwards, you will take care of my daily living needs. Right now, I am hungry…”
