When Erin, Matthew, and Roman arrived at the audition hall, Claire was already there. When she saw Matthew standing next to Erin, her heart instantly felt a sharp sting that brought with it a mixture of pain and discomfort.There weren't any unrelated personnel in the hall. Besides the director and the producer, there was only one staff member. Roman walked over and sat next to the director and producer.Erin glanced at Claire without saying a word. She politely greeted the director and producer.Roman had already told her that the director who was in his forties, was a man of few words. He was meticulous in his work and somewhat obsessed with directing. Therefore, when the audition candidates arrived, the audition would start directly.They started with Claire. It was a scene without props or computer special effects. Hence, it would be entirely dependent on the actors' own performance. The plot was a scene where the demon hunter used her special techniques to subdue demons in a b
His question made Erin's heart sink, so she naturally didn't voice her wild guesses. Instead, she calmly said, "I want to hear your explanation."Chandler chuckled lightly. "You're more mature now compared to the past. I'm pleased."Hearing how composed he was, Erin was frustrated and silently cursed away in her heart. She held back the urge to yell at him to hurry up and explain."Right; now let me explain what happened with this photo. Two days ago, Claire called me to a private club under the pretense of giving me a gift. By the time I arrived, she was already drunk. Her phone fell, so she asked me to pick it up. When I picked it up, I saw her skirt. I was stunned for a few seconds but immediately walked out of the room and got Kyle to go in. So, Kyle was the one who held her and put her in the car. He also drove her back. And that was what happened."Erin's shattered heart was instantly mended. She still had some lingering suspicions. However, since Chandler had explained every
His actions preceded reason, and his mind went blank due to the close proximity of her face. Not only that, his heartbeat raced and his breathing became rapid.Erin was deeply asleep, and would only wake up if someone shook her vigorously.Finally, his nervous and slightly cool lips touched Erin's lips, and a tingling, electrifying sensation overcame his nerves. Before his mind could process everything rationally, he continued to kiss Erin, but she kept her jaw tightly clenched, so he had to give up after a while.Afraid that she would wake up, Simon hastily ended the kiss. His deep gaze changed in tandem with her breathing, and he had unprecedented dirty thoughts racing through his mind. Even the perfectly proportioned figure of Megan didn't arouse his impulses, but now, just seeing Erin in a conservative cotton nightgown triggered a strong reaction in him. It left him so shocked that he was speechless.Simon couldn't help but wonder what was so different about Erin. It wasn't l
Two days later, on the day when Erin officially signed the contract and started filming on the set, was also the time when Alana arrived at the set for filming. Chandler didn't accompany her when she joined the set. Erin felt a faint sense of disappointment upon knowing this.He said he would come to see her soon, but unfortunately, he didn't. The man she liked didn't come, but her best friend, Holly, dropped by to visit.As the crew members led Holly into the filming hall, Erin happily stood up and rushed toward her. She hurriedly left her lunchbox aside and hugged Holly. Not far away, Claire, who was lying on a recliner wearing sunglasses, sneered and wordlessly mocked the cheap friendship between Erin and Holly. They seemed to have a deep sisterly bond now, but when they encountered relationship issues that involved men, they would surely argue more than anyone else!It was lunch break now, and due to the hot weather, the director allowed the actors to have an hour of free time
Upon hearing Simon say that he was looking for Erin, Holly's eyes flickered. She looked at Erin with a teasing expression in her eyes and asked, "Erin, when did you become so familiar with Mr. Frost?"Erin's heart tightened. She laughed and replied casually, "Well, Mr. Frost came to see Ms. Zeigler the other day—"She was trying to explain and clear the air, but Simon couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at Holly and said, "Ms. Green, you should remember that I had a girlfriend, right? We broke up a few days ago because she cheated on me with a male actor from the crew, and it was thanks to Ms. Lane's honesty that I didn't propose to such a woman. But I was furious at that time and—" Suddenly, he stopped without finishing his sentence.Erin's face turned one shade paler, and she quickly continued, "He was so furious that he threw my phone into the lake! Later, after he'd calmed down, he felt sorry and let me use his personal phone for the time being. Have you come to retrieve your
Erin, who was dragged into the cave, was in a state of panic. She was anxious because the man covered her mouth so tightly that it prevented her from calling for help. She was also shocked that such an ambush could happen on the set!Her mind was in chaos, and she had no idea who the person was. Was he doing it for money or did he intend to harm her maliciously?The man grabbed Erin's arms and restrained them behind her back, while his other hand covered her mouth. Erin was dragged backward roughly.Soon, the man pulled out a piece of cloth from the pocket of his costume that was made of course cloth. Whenever Erin had a chance, she desperately screamed for help, but after a few seconds, the man stuffed the cloth into her mouth!No matter how much she screamed for help, her voice was muffled due to the piece of cloth in her mouth. Her eyes instantly became bloodshot, and tears of fear welled up in her eyes. Although Erin had her back to the man, she turned her head to try to get a
At this moment, Simon was very angry, so the words he said were naturally unfiltered and not pleasing to hear. Erin couldn't find the words to counter what he said.Seeing her bowing her head and not saying a word, Simon forcefully let go of her hand. Deep within his heart, he looked down on the way Erin chose to keep quiet and not stand up for herself. If he hadn't arrived in time, Erin might have been sexually assaulted by the masked man. He despised Erin's attitude of wanting to cover things up and not cause trouble. It made him furious! One minute later, Simon forcefully kicked open the door to Roman's dressing room.Roman and his makeup artist, Donny, were about to leave the dressing room. They looked at Simon, who had intruded suddenly and quite rudely, with disapproving expressions."Haven't you heard of knocking? Why on earth did you barge in like a bull?" Roman looked at this unexpected guest impassively.Simon didn't have a good impression of Roman to start with. Not on
The next morning, reporters surrounded the studio. Since Erin's news made it to the top of the trending topics, all major websites sent reporters overnight to follow the developments of the case closely. The local authorities felt the pressure from public opinion and couldn't afford to slack off with so many media outlets watching.At 8 am, five police cars entered the studio. It was reported that the suspect had turned himself in, confessing to the crime and the sequence of events. When Erin received this news, she happened to be in the hotel, and Roman had informed her about it over the phone. He mentioned that the culprit was either a local resident of Fleuverton or a supporting actor on the set. The investigators had found the costumes and animal masks worn by the suspect in his rented house. Everything matched the description provided by Erin.The case was quickly solved, disappointing many media outlets that had come to Fleuverton thinking they could get a sensational story.
