Colton pushed Freyja’s hand away, tossed his coat aside, and walked toward the bathroom.Freyja sat stiffly on the bed, pursed her lips, listened to the sound of running water coming from inside the bathroom, and could not help but tighten her grip on the blanket.‘Sure enough, his hatred for me hasn’t changed at all. Then what did he mean when he gave me the necklace and kissed me three years ago?’As Colton walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, water vapor encircled him, and the water droplets that had not been wiped rolled down his beating neck.He dried his hair with a towel and turned to look at Freyja.Freyja leaned against the head of the bed with her legs bent and an aggrieved expression as if she had been wronged.‘Does she feel wronged?‘Pfft, she’s just pretending when I’m around.’He placed the towel on the countertop, walked over, and stood beside the bed. “Aren’t you going to take a shower?”She returned to her senses and did not look at him. “No.”“Disgusti
James crossed his arms. “It’s just reciting the script. Nothing can be simpler than this.”Daisie had finished putting on her makeup, so she got up with the script in her hand and walked toward him. “Then will you practice with me now?”“Practice? What’s the point?”Daisie hit him with the script. “They’re shooting our scene today. If you screw up on me, I’ll beat the crap out of you.”He ducked and giggled again. “Okay, fine, it’s just practice. It won’t be difficult enough for me to screw it up.”15 minutes later…Daisie glared at James, who had exaggerated acting skills and had been jumping in and out of character. She was so angry that she flung the script at him. “James Tell, have you even read the script!?”James dodged right and left with the script. “Don’t hit me. I just forgot the lines!”He ran out of the door and bumped into someone without looking.Freyja staggered backward and was about to hit the prop box placed in the corridor. But James instantly reached out an
And it was also because of James that she had taken up this film project.However, the beau that she fancied had turned into a servant when he was around Daisie. Thus, how could she not feel annoyed by that?Her assistant saw something was wrong with her and asked, “Susan, is everything alright?”“Daisie Vanderbilt just won the Best Actress award, didn’t she? What’s there to be proud of? Even my Prince Charming is following her around like a pet willingly. Who the heck would show her this much respect if she were not the daughter of the Goldmanns?”Susan was so infuriated that she could not even go through the script by herself.The assistant was helpless. “She’s born with a silver spoon, so we can’t just make a one-to-one comparison between her and us, can we? Besides, James and Daisie are both from the upper class, so isn’t it normal that they can get along better?”Susan glared at her. “So are you saying that Daisie is a good match for my Prince Charming?”The assistant quick
Meanwhile, Susan came to the scene triumphantly, wanting to watch Daisie get scolded for slowing the crew’s progression down.Who would have expected that all she saw was Daisie filming another scene while James was nowhere to be seen? She immediately felt that something was wrong.Susan quickly asked a staff member, “Aren’t we filming Daisie and James’ scene today? Why don’t I see James filming?”The staff member replied, “Mr. Tell is feeling unwell and is having diarrhea, so he is on a break for the time being.”‘Diarrhea…’Susan froze in place as her legs wobbled.‘How could this be? Could it be that Daisie didn’t drink the cup of coffee that I spiked with laxatives, so he drank it himself!?’She had assumed it was for Daisie, so she even added many laxatives on purpose.‘F*ck! This is all Daisie’s fault!’After Daisie finished filming, she and Freyja went to the lounge to visit James.James’ face looked as pale as paper, and his stomach kept grumbling. “F*ck man! There mu
Maisie smiled. “Get lost.”Daisie let go of Nollace’s hand in the courtyard and turned around. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you’re coming over?”Nollace pulled her drooping fringe to the side of her face, tucked it behind her ear, and gave off a faint smile. “Am I this unpresentable?”“Of course not.” She explained, “But what if my father were to make life difficult for you when I wasn’t here?”Nollace paused for a split second, lowered his gaze, and his smile intensified. “Do you see me as someone who’d be afraid of a difficult situation?”Daisie shook her head. “Your skin is way too thick to be afraid of that.”He laughed out loud. “I’m glad that you know that.”The afterglow was poured over the luxuriant courtyard, making it look like an oil painting. The servants who passed by looked into the pavilion. When standing together, the two of them looked even better than the breathtaking scenery.Daisie turned her head, and her gaze was fixed on Nollace.‘I haven’t se
Nollace lazily leaned against the wall. “You’re back late.”Colton was surprised but looked calm. “You’re still here?”He smiled. “I’m staying over.”Nollace’s eyes focused on Colton’s loosened tie and the bite marks that were peeking out of his collar, and he smiled. “You seem to be moving quickly with my cousin.”Colton frowned but didn’t speak.Nollace walked past him and stopped behind him but didn’t look back. “Are you serious about her?”“It’s none of your business.” Colton walked to his room. Nollace turned his head, looked while Colton disappeared into the shadows, and squinted because he could see the truth.The next day, at the shoot…James took some electrolytes, rested for a night, and finally got some energy back.He sat in the car and read the script while looking for someone in the crowd.Susan Hotch brought a beautiful container with food over to him and smiled. “James, have you had lunch?”James paused and frowned. “You are?”Susan awkwardly said, “You do
Susan’s expression was subtly dark. They were that far off already?Daisie glared at James. “Why are you showing off? When are you getting the Best Actor award for Charlie?”He turned away. “I’m not interested in that. I’m just here to pass the time.”Daisie’s lips curled as she said, “You’re addicted to being useless?”“Ms. Vanderbilt, how could you say that about James?” Susan quietly spoke up for him. “It’s not his fault that he’s not talented. I believe that he has already done his best.”If she spoke up for him, he might feel thankful. ‘See? I am the only one who really understands him.’Daisie looked at Susan, with whom she hadn’t worked much since joining the team. Her character hadn’t shown up in the movie yet. Daisie was having a normal conversation with James, but it seemed like she was looking down on him in Susan’s eyes.Before Daisie spoke, James’ expression changed. “I’m speaking to Daisie. Why are you interfering?”Susan was stunned. “James—”“And you said tha
Daisie wasn’t expecting that, but she didn’t cry out loud. Her arm was burning. She took a sharp breath while her face turned pale. Meanwhile, her shoulders were shuddering. Nobody noticed what had happened, and she didn’t ask them to stop. After the director yelled cut, he stood up. “That was good. Let’s move to the next one.”Freyja and the crew helped Daisie up, but they seemed to have touched the hand, and she hissed. Freyja asked, “Daisie, are you alright?”Daisie waved her hand. The crew removed the padding from her back.Daisie never mentioned that her hand was whipped before going for an outfit change with Freyja. In the changing room, Daisie removed her clothes and saw that there was a huge bruise on her arm. The whip had hit her a few times, and half of her arm had been numb since.Freyja came in and saw that bruise, so she rushed forward. “You were hit?”She smiled and replied, “I’m fine. It’s common for actors to be hurt while filming.”“It’s swollen. Wait
