Chapter 395


    Skr scoffed. She would have dly knocked some manners into Avery. However, she couldn’t


    because they were on set; and because Largo was standing right across the room. So Skr turned and


    left Avery to her own devices.


    At this, Avery shed a vicious gleam at the female lead’s costume that Skr wore. Then she asked her


    manager, Jane, “Have you contacted everyone? There cannot be any slip-ups when executing this n.”


    Jane nodded. “I’ve discussed everything with Daniel from props. He named his price—a hundred


    thousand.”


    Avery’s brows drew closer. “That much to remove a couple of screws? That’s basically a rip-off.”


    Eyes darting around, Jane cautiously leaned in and murmured, “Daniel said that removing those screws


    might cost someone’s life, so a hundred thousand is only the deposit. It will cost us two hundred


    thousand if she ends up crippled, and half a million if she dies.”


    Delight smeared across Avery’s face as she listened to these possible oues. Her vicious grin


    deepened as she pictured a stone b crushing onto Skr’s body.


    Meanwhile, Skr and Largo were going through their scripts together. They knew that fans would go


    crazy over the tiniest romantic details between a female and male lead. Hence, they wanted to


    incorporate this into their scripts.


    Skr couldn’t help but feel drawn to Largo’s amorous voice as they bounced ideas off of each other.


    Largo always kept a friendly smile each time he spoke. He was the kind of man that lit up an entire room.


    Because of this, Skr found him to be such a gem.


    Skr realized that she wasn’t entirely a masochist. While she found gratification from Tobias’ torture,


    she was also receptive to gentler men like Largo.


    She and Largo had to film their current scene with a massive green screen in the studio, then special


    effects would be addedter on.


    Skr caught sight of Avery lingering around the set. She felt that Avery’s eyes were glued onto her the


    whole time.


    So Skr motioned Hannah over during makeup touchups. She asked, “Are we filming Avery’s scenes


    today? Why has she been in the studio this whole time?”


    Hannah then flipped through the day’s filming schedule. “Nope. Filming for her scenes will be done at a


    muchter date.”


    At this, Skr felt unnerved. Avery hates being around me. So why would she show up on set to watch


    me film my scenes? That’s very unlike her.


    Skr’s eyelid kept twitching like a bad omen.


    Before they started shooting the scene, Skr had to put on her safety harness. She tugged at the


    harness rope to test its durability, just in case.

    Daniel from props noticed this and grumbled, “Do you not trust the work of our props crew, Ms. Jones?


    Quit worrying. It’s a sturdy harness. There’s no chance of you falling.”


    Despite his attempt to calm her nerves, his voice sounded indifferent. Even his gaze was devoid of


    warmth.


    Skr chuckled tensely. “I tend to worry when my safety is involved. You see, I’m a very unlucky person.


    So please bear with me while I check things thoroughly. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”


    Nevertheless, Daniel shed an urged look. “It’s almost time to shoot. You should put on your harness


    now.”


    As he spoke, his sleeve lifted and revealed a well-crafted watch with an unmistakable logo—a Rolex.


    Skr noticed and casually pointed it out. “Your watch is superb. I had no idea that members of the


    props crew earned so much. My friend has the same model, by the way.”


    Daniel covered his watch at once. He averted her gaze and muttered, “It’s a parallel import.”


    For some reason, Skr felt that the man seemed familiar. Yet, she couldn’t quite recall where she had


    seen his face before.


    Regardless, Skr and Largo were about to film a battle scene.


    Largo had already gotten his makeup done and was ready to start. Seeing this, Skr reluctantly


    fastened the harness and took a deep inhale. Her eyelid twitched more furiously.


    Then Josiah’s voice red through the walkie-talkie, “What the hell are you doing, Skr? Focus! I don’t


    have time for you to daydream on set.”


    Skr quickly motioned an okay gesture, indicating that she was ready to begin.


    At that moment, Avery and Daniel locked gazes. He nodded slightly to inform her that things were going


    as nned. Avery instinctively looked up to the harness’ ceiling track. It appeared at least five meters off


    the ground; if Skr fell from that height, she was sure to be disabled, if not dead.
