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
Every actor would have to go through some scenes where they might be hit. On top of that, she was a woman, so no matter how hard she slapped him, it wouldn’t be too bad. He was a man, so if he couldn’t even take that, he wouldn’t be able to survive long in the industry. Daisie’s smile was wide. “Great.”When the filming started, Daisie slapped him, and the force made him lose balance and take a few steps back.Mitchell was stunned.Daisie turned around to speak to the director. “I’m sorry, can we redo that? I was too in character and slapped him too hard.”Daisie then looked worried. “I’m so, so sorry, Mitch. Are you alright?”Mitchell never expected she would be so strong. The slap made his face swell up. He had been acting for years, and never had he been slapped so hard. That was too much!Was she taking revenge for the whipping? No way. He touched his face but forced a smile. “It’s fine.”The second time Daisie put all her energy on her arm, and that slap was even ha
The crew always felt that Daisie was very professional, but this time, it was obvious that Mitchell’s fans were the ones who had crossed the line. Mitchell’s slap was discussed between them before the filming started. Daisie had slapped him just to make it look more realistic.Nobody knew that it would turn into a trending topic.Daisie didn’t say anything. It seemed as though she had expected all that to happen.The fans were barricaded outside and tried to defend Mitchell, yelling for Daisie to explain herself.The director didn’t want this matter to blow out of proportion, so he asked Mitchell to handle it. Mitchell and Susan tried to calm them down, just saying good things about Daisie and never mentioning who was at fault the entire time.The fans were angry that their idol had to take the hit, but they couldn’t calm down now that he was defending her. “Mitchell, your face is still swollen. It’s Daisie Vanderbilt’s fault, but why are you defending her? That breaks our hea
A fan refused to let it go and pressed on. “But Mitch’s face is swollen. We all saw it, and now you say it’s just a misunderstanding?”Mitchell had no other choice but to step in to mediate the situation. “Why don’t we all take a step back, okay? Please, I don’t want anything bad to happen to you all.”He portrayed himself as a gentle, kind, and forgiving man. His fans were relieved, but at the same time, they loathed Daisie even more.Susan walked up to Daisie and said, “Ms. Vanderbilt, Mitch already said it’s a misunderstanding. Can we let this slide now?”Daisie ignored her and approached Mitchell. “Mr. Santos, before we started shooting, I asked you if we’re going to fight for real or not, am I right?”Mitchell was momentarily stunned, but he soon regained himself and smiled. “We did discuss it before…”“Since we’ve discussed it before and you’ve agreed to it, I fought you for real when we started shooting, and I did apologize to you after we finished the shooting. Did you no
“Besides, I heard from the rumors that it was Susan who instructed Mitchell to make things hard for our artists.” Charlie rose to his feet. “Is that true?”Billy nodded. “Although both Mitchell and Susan work under Zestar, they have gone overboard this time.”It was clear how hypocritical Mitchell was, judging from the fact that he refused to admit that Daisie had apologized before and make any explanation while allowing his fans to attack her.Charlie hated it with a passion when artists made waves behind other people's backs.Even though they were not from Tenet, he would not just sit by and let other artists bully his artists.“It seems like I need to make a trip to Zestar.” Freyja, who was standing outside the door, left quietly.She came to the emergency exit and made a call to Daisie. “I asked Mr. Gray to tell Mr. Johnson about it. Mr. Johnson is going to Zestar right now. It’s a shame I didn’t get to record the video of that shameless couple.” If she had recorded the
Yale rose to his feet. “Mr. Gallagher?” “I already know what is going on. It was Mitchell’s fault. He shouldn’t have twisted the truth and made waves. He should apologize.”Yale was stunned and fell silent.Hector had handed all the management of Zestar to Triden. However, Triden hardly ever cared about the things that happened to his artists. After all, his staff and the managers would take care of all the problems.Therefore, it was definitely not a simple matter since Triden had stepped in. Charlie rose to his feet and said, “That’s more like it. I’ll go back and wait for your good news then.”Triden did not stop him.After Charlie was gone, Yale asked, “Mr. Gallagher, you’ve got to think twice. Mitchell has brought a lot of profit to the company. His achievements and status are there for all of us to see.“Even though the whole incident was caused because of him on the Ιnternet, we need to ask him what happened first.”Triden turned to look at him and said, “There’s no n
