Chapter 430


    Because of the arrival of Richard and X, the atmosphere on the production site seemed to have a


    subtle change.


    Certainly, that was just the feeling of the walk-ons. Although the leading actors were unaffected, they


    heard about it.


    The leading actors and the walk-ons normally didn’t mingle with each other. Apart from the scenes which


    they had to work on together, the two indifferent protagonists never got into contact with the walk-ons.


    After an important scene was done, the two male leads took a rest. Harry drank some water and started


    gossiping. “Old man, your wife’s ex boyfriend and her ex boyfriend’s current girlfriend are here. Are you


    nervous?”


    Michael focused on reading the script and drew some circles on the important lines. In order to y his


    role as the mercenary, he even went to the marketce where mercenaries were hired to observe the


    way they acted. Hearing what Harry said, he replied, “Oh, right. I’m a little nervous.”


    Harry giggled without uttering a word.


    As the male leads were having a chat, the female walk-ons wanted to approach them to get their contact


    numbers or take photos with them. Before they could do that, they were blocked out by the bodyguards


    in ck. Left with no choice, they could only watch the male leads from afar.


    With the script in her hands, Nicole paced around for a long time. Eventually, she mustered enough


    courage and walked toward the male leads to discuss the next scene with them. The bodyguards, who


    blocked out those walk-ons moments ago, let her pass.


    “What the heck. How can she approach my idols?”


    “She’s the female lead. Are you? Pfft.”


    “That’s right. Not everyone can be the female lead. Do you have the same tricks that she possesses?”


    The supporting actresses talked loudly in jealousy.


    Because of her ess to the male leads, Nicole became themon enemy of the females on the


    production site. Despite knowing what others talked about her, she had no choice but to go on with what


    she had to do as she was the female lead.


    Since she would have direct interactions with the male leads in the drama, she would have to discuss the


    scenes with them. If she didn’t look for them now, should she knock on the male leads’ doors at night


    when everyone was taking a rest?


    In the drama, she was the bright and brave protagonist, but in reality, she was just a humble and timid


    newbie to the industry in front of the male leads.


    Taylor and Harry were seated on chairs. With the script in her hands, it was inappropriate for Nicole to


    stand or squat, but there was no extra chair. Left without a choice, she decided to take a seat on the


    ground since her clothes were already dirty, and the next scene required her to roll on the ground


    anyway.


    Michael had high hopes for Nicole after he was forced to watch Nicole’s dramas at home. Moreover, they


    worked together in some dramas before. Although she didn’t graduate from an acting academy, she was


    bright and talented in acting. Not only was she willing to learn, but she was also very responsible in her


    work. Since she came to discuss the scenes, Michael was willing to rehearse with her.


    However, he felt pressured that Nicole was seated on the ground in front of him because she was his


    wife’s idol.


    Before he could say anything else, Nicole’s loyal fan, Sophia, came over with a chair. “Nicole, don’t sit on


    the ground. Come on, this chair is for you!”


    Embarrassed, Nicole said, “I’m okay with sitting on the ground. You can take a seat on the chair instead.”


    Sophia replied, “It’s fine. Please have a seat. I’ll just get one more chair.”


    It was only then did Nicole take her seat on the chair. After bringing over another chair, Sophia helped


    fan Nicole, passed a bottle of water to her, and held out an umbre for her.


    Sophia learned that X had made life difficult for Nicole, and she understood the reason behind that as


    it was all because of her. Because of her close rtionship with Sophia, X and Richard hated Nicole.


    Therefore, Sophia felt obliged to protect Nicole.


    However, Nicole was nervous and she kept saying thanks to her.


    As they were discussing the scenes, Sophia watched them on the side.


    Having stayed in the production site for two days, she had learned a thing or two. An actor’s dedication


    to their work was manifested in their script. Some actor’s scripts were totally clean, while some actor’s


    scripts were dog-eared, torn, and full of markings and notes. Normally, the leading actors would write


    many notes on their scripts, while the walk-ons would barely write anything.


    Nicole’s script was dirty because she always picked up her script with dirty hands after filming a scene.


    Also, her script was full of notes with rarely any nk space.


    It was the same for the scripts of Michael and Harry.


    Facing his wife’s idol, Michael took it seriously and spoke in a gentle manner. Catching a glimpse of


    Sophia, who was supervising him seriously, his lips curved into a loving smile.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Seeing that Nicole and the male leads were having a discussion, the other actresses were jealous,


    especially when Michael kept smiling in a loving way. These actresses, who couldn’t even approach the


    male leads, were so resentful that their eyes reddened.


    The scene in the morning waspleted smoothly. In the afternoon, Sophia invited Nicole to have lunch


    with her.


    Nicole had finally fired herzy assistant, and the new assistant was smart and passionate. After Nicole


    was done with a scene, the assistant would pass her a bottle of water and hold out an umbre for her.


    However, there was a problem with the scene in the afternoon.


    It was about the female protagonist saving her young sister and other kidnapped girls amid the fire shots.


    She was injured and bloodied while the male leads were caught up somewhere else. Without any help,


    she still had to do her best to save the girls.


    It was a torturing scene for Nicole because she had to keep rolling on the ground until the male leads


    came to save her.


    The scene wasn’t long with only a few lines for her. When the injured female lead found the location


    where the girls were confined, she tried her best to save them. However, the bad guys were about to


    reach her. With injuries all over her body, she was powerless to save the girls.


    “Sis, please leave immediately. Otherwise, you’ll be killed!” The younger sister in the drama, Olivia, cried.


    The teary and pitiful expression on her face somewhat resembled Elizabeth.


    “No, I will never give up! Follow me quickly!” the female lead shouted with determination written all over


    her face. Despite the fact that she was bloodied all over, and there were no more bullets in her gun, she


    crawled toward her younger sister to save her.


    This crawling scene was the most touching part that should elicit tears from the audience. The female


    lead would soon witness her sister being taken away, but she was powerless to do anything.


    To make the scene look even more tragic, she crawled on the coarse ground slowly with difficulty as her


    elbows and knees rubbed against the ground. The scene looked real and powerful.


    As the girls watched the female lead, who was trying to save them, they were all wailing. At that moment,


    the female lead was the ‘older sister’ for all of them. The sight was moving as Nicole’s yell was recorded


    on the spot. Her performance was excellent and convincing.


    Unexpectedly, a ‘pfft’ sound was heard suddenly from one of the girls. It was X who had burst into


    laughter.


    “Cut!”
