Almost simultaneously, Wyneth awkwardly averted her face as Luke pivoted away in embarrassment. Immediately following, Wyneth heard Luke's cold voice seethe. "What are you doing here?"Rubbing her forehead, Wyneth replied, "Shaun brought me here.""Him, again!"In the ensuing silence, Wyneth said, "Shall I step out for a while?"He did not respond, implicitly accepting her suggestion. Thus, Wyneth rose and exited the room. As the door to the refuge opened, the summer heat washed over her. Wyneth leaned against the wall, waiting. Her phone vibrated—it was a message from Yoyo, a co-star.Yoyo: [Darling, heard you're back from the variety show. Where are you? Went to your hotel and you're nowhere to be found. You haven't arrived, have you?]Recalling that Yoyo might still be waiting at her hotel room door, she sent over her room password.Wyneth: [This is the hotel room password.]Yoyo: [Got it, but I won't go in. I'll see you tonight. I have a scene later. Where are you now?]Wy
"Right, right." Shaun glanced at his watch. "Seems about time too."Luke emerged, his face unreadable. "I'll take you two."Shaun looked at him in surprise. "What's gotten into you today?" He wondered, 'He's offering to take us to the makeup test? He'd never usually do something like this.'Luke's face darkened at his words, his voice frosty. "In that case, it seems unnecessary.""No, no, we need you. We do," Shaun agreed hastily with a grin. "It's best if you're willing to lead. Let's go."Luke stalked off, expression as cold as ever. As he passed Wyneth, he paused and gave her a glance, his gaze far from pleasant."Come on, it's a rare occasion he's being cooperative. Let's not lose him."As Shaun nudged Wyneth forward, she quirked an eyebrow. She was sure Luke's change of heart was not genuine; he simply did not want anyone knowing about what had just transpired and was using this to distract. And sure enough, Shaun had already completely forgotten their previous conversation
A single joke had everyone roaring with laughter, a wave of hilarity sweeping through the room. The shirtless young man's face flamed brighter, hastily diving into a nearby dressing room, chased by more ribbing from the other men."Let this teach you not to strip in public! Learn some decorum, will you?" No response came from the dressing room.Wyneth's female escort snorted softly, murmuring to Wyneth, "Don't mind them. They just love their banter.""Sure." Wyneth, chuckling, nodded her agreement.Although there were actresses on the set, they had sparse screen time, so they typically did not linger around the set when they had no scenes. At that moment, Wyneth was the only actress on set, and an incredibly beautiful one at that. Nick Biden, informed that an actress was coming in to try on makeup for the role of Aurelia, had everything ready first thing in the morning. He had been swamped with other tasks and only just managed to free himself up. When he was told that the actress
With calm deliberation, Nick extended a hand to her. "Nice to meet you.""Hello, hello!" Peter was not as composed, his enthusiasm unabated as he shook Wyneth's hand and blurted, "Here are the props we've prepared for you. Shall we get started?""Sure."Just as Wyneth settled into her chair, another staffer rolled in a clothing rack. "These are Aurelia's costumes. We've got five looks in total."'Five?' Wyneth was taken aback. Lucienne, with her substantial screen time, only had four or five costume changes. But Aurelia, with her limited scenes and a lifespan of just an episode or two, had five costumes. It seemed that her scenes would be quite significant within those two episodes. As Wyneth inspected each dress, one exceptionally ornate and lavish garment caught her eye, accompanied by a spectacular set of jewels. 'If my guess is right, this is my entrance costume.'Aurelia's introduction was quite cliché, dancing among a group of courtesans. Her second appearance came in the la
The role of Aurelia had been the talk of the production crew from the start due to its significance and the difficulty of casting. But when Wyneth stepped out in that white dress, everyone fell silent. Anyone who had read the script would have thought, in that moment, that Aurelia had truly come to life. Before her death, she was makeup-free, in a plain dress, dying a clean, stunning, and heroic death.Peter grabbed Nick's hand, eyes wide with excitement. "Nick, do you see this?"Nick chuckled softly. "I see it." Without makeup, Wyneth's skin was as fair as snow, making her perfect for the role. Without seeing the other looks, he already knew that Wyneth would carry them off flawlessly.That afternoon, Wyneth underwent two costume changes. In addition to the simple white dress, there was also the most elaborate one; both outfits were slightly adjusted to better suit Wyneth's facial features. After the final looks were set, they took several makeup confirmation shots.Upon receiving
But the role of Aurelia remained unannounced, leaving fans in suspense and rekindling hopes that this subtle love story might still be retained. To their surprise, the role was finally unveiled today, drawing an influx of comments from fans.[Holy smokes! They've actually announced Aurelia. I thought they had wiped the character out and replaced her with a man.][Let's be real here; though Aurelia might have minimal screen time, her nuanced and beautiful relationship with the male lead is truly something. If they cut it or replaced it with a man, the show would lose so much depth, right? Thankfully, they kept it. This girl is gorgeous!]["Born for You, and Glancing Back for You"? This tagline? Is it what I'm thinking? Right? People, is our beloved Luke finally going to shoot a romance scene?][Calm down, even if they're shooting a romantic scene, it's going to be extremely subtle. The lead, Maximus, is an incredibly restrained and stoic character. You won't see what you're hoping f
'What's going on here?' Their intention had been to ignite Luke's fans' animosity toward Wyneth, hoping they would turn against her and possibly tarnish her reputation, considering her role was rather small. Moreover, if Luke's fans were to target a female character, they could easily stir up a storm. However, rather than attacking her, they seemed to flock to Wyneth's Facebook page to follow her, a baffling act that left Gigi's fans entirely puzzled.Regardless, with Luke's fans acting as a bulwark, Gigi's fans were powerless to cause any significant trouble, fearing they might ignite a fire that would eventually burn them. As a strategic move, they decided to withdraw for the time being.Meanwhile, in the realm of Luke's fan base, there was a rallying call.[Our man's first legitimate female lead role, and it's a romance, albeit an understated one, is going to bring out everyone. We need to hold the fort against trolls and fake fans. Praise only, control the discourse against any
"So you should take a selfie with a heart sign. It shows more sincerity," Yoyo suggested.Wyneth raised an eyebrow. "Can't I just express my gratitude with words? Why add a photo with a heart sign?""Come on, you're gorgeous! You should grace the public with more selfies."With Yoyo's constant prodding, Wyneth finally succumbed. She snapped two selfies, making the heart sign, and uploaded them directly onto Facebook, captioning them: [I've seen all your comments. It's an honor to play such a role, thank you!] She thought for a moment, then added a string of heart emojis before clicking "post".No sooner had she posted, Yoyo exclaimed, "I finally remember the name of that photo editing app. Do you have it on your phone? If not, you should download it.""Photo editing app?""Right. You know, the pictures you just took? This app edits photos naturally, without leaving traces. It'd be perfect for you.""But I've already posted them," Wyneth said.Yoyo looked surprised. "Did you edi
