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
In the afternoon, Hayden had something important to do, so he left the set. Before leaving, he took a long, hard look at the trailer where Wyneth was resting and pressed his lips together, then departed with his assistant.Once Hayden was gone, the whole cast cheered. A group of actors plopped down, looking so relieved."He finally left! If he stayed any longer, I would have left," one actor said."Yeah, yeah. Who can act with that grumpy face staring at us all day?" another actor added."It's us who were affected. Look at the main actors; none of them were bothered. We've been holding them back.""We can't help it. We're not that important. I can't handle the pressure. I'll be the first to say it.""Me neither. Anyway, he's gone, and we're all happy. He's good-looking, but keeping my job is more important."Everyone was quite sensible about the situation. Kevin and Dylan were both amused and relieved that, with Hayden gone, filming could finally get back to normal. They began t
"Wyneth, have a drink," Yara offered."Thanks." Wyneth took the water tumbler and drank a few sips.Emma, sitting across from her, watched Wyneth's movements as she played with her hair. When Wyneth tilted her head back to drink, revealing her beautiful, snow-white neck, Emma was reminded of Kevin's praise earlier in the day. He had told Wyneth, "Well done, you acted brilliantly."At that time, Emma noticed everyone looking at Wyneth. Normally, all eyes would be on her since she was the main actress. But this time, Wyneth had taken all the attention. Emma and Bruce were playing future lovers in the scene, while Bruce and Wyneth's characters were just siblings. When they acted, it was like they were real siblings, and Emma felt left out. She felt like an outsider. What scared her even more was that she found Wyneth really pretty and could not deny it. She thought about this, biting her lower lip. Her hands, hidden under her sleeves, clenched tightly."You did really well," Emma sudd
"Thank you." Wyneth took the glass, but she looked at it without drinking. 'I get tipsy when I drink alcohol. What will this homemade drink do to me? I don't have work this afternoon, but...'"What's wrong?" Emma asked curiously when she saw Wyneth's hesitation. A sad look came over her face as she seemed to realize something. "Did you not know my parents are farmers? I never thought I'd be where I am today either. StarCrest Entertainment gave me this chance. Even though I'm doing well now, and I'd like to move my parents to the city, they love their simple life in the countryside. They don't like the hustle and bustle of the big city. This fruit drink might seem too ordinary for people here. But I promise, my parents are very clean people." Emma gave a forced smile, adding, "So you don't have to worry about cleanliness." Her smile was a mix of sadness and embarrassment.Wyneth quickly realized that Emma thought she was worried about the drink being dirty because it was made in the c
