Wyneth stayed in Emma's trailer. In the morning, Hayden did not come to the set, and Wyneth sighed with relief, thinking he had taken her words to heart and would not come to bother her anymore. But by the afternoon, while Wyneth was reading the script, she heard that Hayden was back. She froze for a moment. She thought to herself, 'What is he doing? Or what does he want to do? Does he regret knowing who I really am?'When Emma found out Hayden was coming, she looked at Wyneth. Wyneth was deep in thought. Emma smiled and said, "The other night, Mr. Hamilton didn't get mad at you for your mistake. Have you said thank you to him?"Wyneth looked up and asked, "Thanked him?""Yeah," Emma answered. "You bumped into him by accident, but he didn't get mad. Don't you think you should say thank you? It's a good chance to show him you're nice."Wyneth pressed her lips together, not knowing what to say.Then Emma continued, "I work for StarCrest Entertainment. Mr. Hamilton is my boss, and he
"I'll go with you," said Yara."No need, I'm just on the set. I'll go look around by myself," replied Wyneth."Okay then, just call me if you need anything," Yara said.Wyneth went outside. As soon as she left the trailer, she spotted the director, Kevin, yelling through a big megaphone. Far away, she saw Hayden standing tall and looking serious. He stood among the crowd, his eyes cold and his face unemotional, watching everything in the middle as if really checking on the progress. Just having him there made everyone feel as tense as if a big, important person was watching them, and they could hardly breathe. Some of the actors were so nervous that they messed up their words. Kevin had trouble filming and had to yell, "What's wrong with you? Can't you act? If you can't even say the lines, what are we filming for?"Kevin managed to keep his cool the first couple of times because Hayden was watching. But when more mistakes happened, he lost it and started yelling. Everyone felt so n
Dylan made a face too. "Exactly! Hayden messed up himself, and now we're all suffering because of him."Everyone knew why the actors were not doing well earlier. Sure enough, when they saw Hayden was gone, they all breathed a sigh of relief."He's finally gone.""Yeah, yeah, with Mr. Hamilton here all the time, I couldn't do my acting right.""He looks nice, but he's a little scary."Filming went back to normal.Wyneth had been reading her script for a long time. Her eyes felt dry, and she was feeling a bit sleepy. She went to the washroom and washed her face with cold water. That made her feel refreshed. When she stepped out, she saw Hayden leaning against the wall, waiting for her. Since no one was around the washroom right now, she did not want to be seen with him. So, she quickly turned and walked away.After just a few steps, she felt someone grab her wrist tightly. It was Hayden, who had caught up with her. She tried to break free, but his grip got even tighter, as though
Hayden was all smiles, but he quickly turned serious when he heard Wyneth's words. "What did you say?" he asked, his voice sharp.Wyneth knew Hayden had heard her, but she answered his question anyway. "I mean, we have a deal that says things like 'we won't get in the way of each other's work or lives', right?" she said, thinking back. "I didn't look at it very carefully at first, but I checked it later. If one of us breaks the deal, we can stop it early. Is that okay, Mr. Hamilton?"Hayden's face looked very different now compared to when he first came to talk to her. Even though he looked serious, he still held her wrist tightly.Wyneth's lips tightened, and she looked at Hayden, feeling confused. 'What is he trying to do?' she wondered. She thought maybe she knew why he was acting so strange.They had been married for three years, and even though they did not love each other at first, Wyneth always tried to be nice and helpful. She did not know Hayden very well, but she remember
After that day, Hayden did not do as Wyneth had said by staying away from the show set. He still came every day as usual, and Wyneth mostly ignored him. So Hayden would spend the day with a scowl, watching others act. At first, it was okay, and Kevin thought it would only last a couple of days. But as time went on, he had to yell "Cut!" more and more. The actors got more tired, and everything was taking way longer than planned. Kevin started to get worried.This was a project by StarCrest Entertainment, and it was normal for important people to check on things. Kevin knew that was not why Hayden was there, but he did not want to tell him to leave. Instead, he got really mad at the actors.Today, Kevin lost his temper again.Kenny saw him and waved to everyone. He said quietly, "Everyone take a break. Calm down, and just act like you usually do. Don't be nervous. We'll start filming again in an hour."People left looking annoyed. Bruce looked upset too, because if the supporting act
Kenny shrugged. "I don't have one, because you don't want to do anything. But if you want to, there are lots of ways.""Oh? Well, tell me then. What can we do?" Kevin asked.At this, Kenny's eyes brightened. "You could go see Mr. Hamilton."Kevin frowned. "What do you mean?""Who else but you would dare to see Mr. Hamilton? He's been in a bad mood lately, and he looks all grumpy. So, if you don't take on this tough job, who will?"Kevin was left speechless by Kenny's words, but he finally managed to reply, "You sure know how to treat someone." He stroked his chin, deep in thought, and said, "But now that you mention it, I can think of someone who's perfect for this tough job."Kenny felt a worried feeling. "Who are you talking about?""Who else could be the right person but Wyneth?" Kevin smiled. "Come on, we haven't filmed her scenes yet. Call her over for me."Kenny hesitated and said, "I'm not sure that's a good idea. If she wanted to go, Mr. Hamilton wouldn't be so grumpy a
Wyneth could not figure out why Kevin asked her to go to a private spot to talk if it was just about the script."What's going on, Mr. Marlborough?" Wyneth asked."You've been hanging out in the trailer every day, reading the script, right?" Kevin asked.Wyneth nodded. "Yeah, because it's not my turn to act yet. I'm just learning the script.""Well," Kevin said, "Normally, you would be acting soon, but everyone is nervous, and it's messing up our schedule. Your part might be delayed for a few days."Wyneth bit her lip. She could guess what Kevin wanted from her. She just looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.Maybe it was her calm look or the way she kept staring, but Kevin, the director, felt a bit awkward. He thought to himself, 'I could have handled this myself, and now I have to ask this young woman for help. I was going to ask her to help with a really hard task... but who else could do it? Besides, it's something she should handle because it's her problem.' Then
Kevin was walking away, feeling down. He was thinking about how things were still going slowly. Suddenly, a man's cold voice called out. Kevin looked up and met Hayden's icy stare."Mr. Hamilton," Kevin said, forcing a smile. "What are you doing here?"Hayden's face was stern, and his lips were pressed together tightly. "Let's talk about the real issue."Kevin did not dare say that he was looking for Wyneth to ask Hayden to leave, so he had to change the subject. "I was just talking to Wyneth about some problems with the script," he said.Hayden looked annoyed. "Tell the truth."Kevin quickly replied, "Actually, I wanted to ask her to give you a message.""A message?" Hayden asked. "What's the message?"Hayden did not know that he was causing so much trouble for everyone here. He wondered if something was wrong with the casting for this play, since they had not made any progress, especially with Wyneth's part. All day, he had heard Kevin yelling at people. He was already feeling
