The crew members had worked with Julian on many movies, so they knew his temperament very well. But this time, he was acting a little differently in this movie.
Wherever Jessie was on set, Julian would look for her when he didn’t have work. He wanted to see her even though there was nothing particularly important. Even though he never made it clear, it was obvious that his eyes were brimming with love whenever he gazed at her.
Although Vincent was busy, he still took the time to come over and said something to Jessie. “There’ll be a kissing scene between you and Julian tomorrow, so be prepared for it.”
Jessie started flushing instantly and muttered under her breath, “I’m worried that I won’t be able to do it well, Vincent.”
“There’s nothing else I can do for you. It’s not like I can teach you how to do it. Just practice kissing Julian when you have time. You’ll get the hang of it by practicing more,” Vincent started teasing her.
Jessie’s ears were all red as the staff members around them broke into laughter.
Feeling guilty, Jessie pressed her lips into a line. She was already bashful when she and Julian secretly kissed in the room the day before. If she had to kiss the man in front of everyone, she’d probably hide in a pit on the ground.
She didn’t mind shooting other scenes, but as for the kissing scene, she would probably have to reshoot it many times. Give me a break!
That night, they had to shoot some scenes as well. Jessie and Julian did their parts in different places. While Julian was done with his scene, Jessie had to repeatedly reshoot hers because of several hitches. It was already 9.30PM at this point.
Finally, Jessie was done with her scene. When she got off work, she realized that Julian’s caravan was parked beside the meadow. He had been waiting for her to go back to the hotel together.
The bright moon was up above the cloudless sky. At this moment, Jessie felt moved.
“Julian told you to get into his car, Jessie.” Bethany beckoned to the woman, so Jessie lifted the hefty hem and shuffled toward the car. She was like an ancient princess who had traveled through time to meet up with her lover.
In the caravan, both of them hadn’t changed out of their period costumes as they were seated together. The man was handsome, and the woman was alluring. They looked like a pair of lovers made in heaven from ancient times.
Jessie was exhausted from acting all day. At this moment, she could finally unwind and get some rest. She stretched her back and yawned, feeling sleepy.
Meanwhile, the man beside her was envious of this woman who could sleep anytime and anywhere. He opened his thermal flask and passed it to her. “Here’s some tea to quench your thirst.”
Jessie took it and started drinking the tea. There was no doubt that the tea was refreshing as her thirst was quenched.
“Did Vincent tell you what we’ll be filming tomorrow?” Julian asked. Jessie started blushing and nodded gently. “Yes.”
“Are you nervous?” Julian rested his chin on his palm as his long hair hung loose on his shoulders. As the light in the car cast its glow on him, he looked stunning.
Jessie promptly fished out her phone and turned on the camera. “Don’t move. Let me take some pictures of you.”
Then, she went on to snap photos of the man from different angles. The flashlight enhanced his handsomeness as his facial features seemed to be even more delicate. Every photo was good enough to be used as wallpaper. His face, paired with his black clothes, could very well be published in a fashion magazine.
Julian’s lips curved into a smile. “Are you done taking photos of me?”
“Why don’t we take a selfie?” As Jessie spoke, she adorably lifted her hand and included both of them in the frame. The man’s eyes were as alluring as the stars in the sky, and the selfie turned out stunning.
Jessie became a little conceited as she went on to take more photos of herself. Just then, the man picked up his phone and turned on his camera. “Look at me.”
A nervous Jessie pressed her lips into a line, then flashed a smile at the man. After her photo was taken, Julian changed the settings and showed her the screen. “Look. Your photo is my wallpaper now.”
“I’ll set your photo as my wallpaper as well,” Jessie replied, then went on to change the settings. Now, both her lock screen and wallpaper were photos of the man.
“Hey, you look pretty handsome in these photos.” Jessie showed him her phone joyfully.
Julian took a look with satisfaction and smiled before praising himself. “I’m indeed handsome.”
If another man had said so, Jessie would’ve thought that he was full of himself. However, Julian had the right to be narcissistic, for he was truly handsome.
Somewhere else, Eva got off work as well. Right then, a staff member approached her and said, “Someone is waiting for you in the lounge, Eva.”
Eva wasn’t worried about it. She changed into her clothes, then tied her hair into a ponytail. Clad in a casual dress, she shuffled toward the lounge and pushed the door open. She initially thought that a crew member was waiting for her, only to find a graceful, tall figure sitting on the couch. He was reading the script in his hands under the lamplight, and it seemed that he had been there for quite a while.
The instant Eva made out the man’s face, she turned around in an attempt to leave.
“Stop right there,” the man ordered in a cold voice. “Do you still want to keep hiding from me?”
“What are you doing here, President Gilmore?” Eva turned around and glared at him. There was no denying that she was resentful of him.
“I want to see you,” Louie replied directly.
“If it’s not about work, then there’s nothing to talk about between us.” Eva sneered.
“Our two-year agreement was due yesterday. I have the right to see you now,” the man said in a hoarse voice, which sounded a little pressing.
“I don’t want to see you, though.”
“How much longer will you keep hiding from me? Do you want me to wait for you my entire life?”
“Would you be able to wait for such a long time, then, President Gilmore?” Eva scoffed.
“I don’t want to keep waiting. I want to be with you. Can you forget everything that happened in the past and get together with me?” Louie was the president of Stardom Corporation, but at this moment, he was pleading with the woman to come back to his side. All he wanted was her love.
Eva took a step back. Even though her eyes had reddened, she still shook her head. “We can’t get together.” Then, she looked away from him.
“Why don’t we have a meal together?” the man offered in a small voice.
“There’s no need for that. I’m not hungry.” Eva sounded distant and impassive. She could treat anyone at work, including the assistants, amiably. However, this man would never receive this kind of treatment.
“My car is outside,” the man pressed.
“Stop wasting your time and energy on me, Louie. I’ll never fall in love with you.” Eva lifted her head, her eyes filled with hatred. After she finished speaking, she opened the door and left.
A tinge of dejectedness flashed across Louie’s face, but he was still determined. He would never give up on the woman he loved.
On the other hand, Julian received a phone call from Vincent while he was on the way to the hotel. “Your brother is here. Do you know that?”
“Really? Where is he?” Julian was genuinely clueless. “He’s at Eva’s film set. His car is here.” “He’s there for Eva.”
“Eva left in her caravan.” Julian let out a sigh. “Alright, I’ll contact him.” After hanging up the call, he dialed a number, and the call was soon connected. “Hello?”
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming, Louie?” Julian asked in a muffled voice.
