Marry A Hidden Billionaire By Rosalind Stevenson

Chapter 336

Amidst the bustling film set, with all preparations squared away, the director’s opening act was capturing some close-up shots of Alice.

As the director peered through the camera lens, his awe was palpable. “Alice, a stunner like her, why wasn’t she already a sensation?”

Bruce propped himself against the side, tight-lipped but also mulling over why Alice hadn’t hit it big sooner.

After all, Alice’s face held the telltale marks of those famous leading ladies.

He tried to wrap his head around it but failed.

Could it be that Alice had pulled the same maneuvers on him that she had on other men in the industry, stirring up trouble with the bigwigs and ending up squashed by their power?

Bruce saw this scenario as quite plausible.

Given Alice’s nature, she was prone to getting under men’s skin.

At this juncture, Bruce was truly intrigued, wondering who had managed to capture Alice’s heart and marry her.

Whoever had grabbed Alice’s attention must’ve been quite a character.

While the director was focused on capturing Alice’s close-ups, a crew member bolted over from the sidelines.

After a swift exchange with the director and Bruce, they spilled some info.

The director was caught off guard. “Mr. William is actually here? For Alice? It’s just an ad; why’s he making such a fuss?”

Bruce also pondered why William had shown up.

Could there be a connection between William and Alice?

Could William be Alice’s love interest?

If Alice could nab someone like William, why did she go through the trouble of pretending to be a guy and messing with him?

With that notion, Bruce’s nerves were getting the best of him, to the point where he even entertained the idea of confronting Alice.

However, the director was in for an even bigger surprise, his hand pressed against his forehead. “No way… this can’t be real, can it? That gentleman hardly ever steps into the spotlight.”

“I think it’s him because Mr. William treats him with so much deference. Even if they deny any connection, I’m not buying it,” the crew member stated.

The director was a bit flustered, rubbing his temples. “Anyway, we need to go greet them. These are heavyweights; we can’t afford to upset them.”

“So, what’s the move now? Should we inform Alice and then go welcome them?”

“What else? Hurry up and tell Alice to take a breather. Meeting these big shots is a top priority!”

The director and the crew paused their tasks and hustled in a certain direction. Alice couldn’t help but feel bewildered. “What’s happening? Why’s everyone, including the director, dashing off like that?”

“You’re in the dark?” Bruce sauntered over, arms crossed, a playful grin on his face.

Alice shook her head. “Why would I know? I’m just here, waiting to shoot the ad.”

Bruce beckoned a crew member from the other side to approach. Once they were within earshot, he directed, Alice in. What’s the story?”

The crew member swiftly briefed her, “Alice, Mr. William from your company is here… and it looks like he’s brought another heavyweight along.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Alice blinked in confusion. “Another heavyweight?”

Could it be Daniel?

That guy wasn’t bothered by her kiss scenes, right?

And she’d already clarified that they were staged; he shouldn’t be so concerned, right?

“Yeah, we suspect the other VIP is that enigmatic Mr. Kaur. He’s rarely seen, but he’s here with Mr. William,” the crew

member said, fixing their hair before dashing off, brimming with excitement.

Alice squinted her eyes and glanced at Alan, who had just come over. “Um… Alan, they’re saying William brought someone with him, is that true?”

Alan shrugged, chuckling. “Seems like it. Someone’s in for a wild ride.”

With that, Alan shot Bruce a knowing look.

Bruce’s mouth twitched. He felt somewhat helpless. What did he have to do with all this?

Why did Alan’s expression hint that a dire fate awaited him?

After a brief exchange with Alice, Alan walked over to join the director and the crew in extending a warm welcome to the guests.

At the entrance, Daniel and William had shown up.

As per his usual style, William was dressed with a touch of flamboyance, while Daniel stuck to his timeless all-black attire, exuding an air of aloofness.

The director didn’t recognize Daniel, but just by his aura, he knew this guy was no ordinary fellow.

With a charming grin, the director nodded in Daniel’s direction before turning to William and saying, “Mr. William, it’s an absolute pleasure to have you here.”

Then he shifted his gaze to Daniel and whispered, “Um, Mr. William, is this gentleman…”

William shot the director a meaningful glance and replied, “No worries, we’re just here to check things out… So, what’s on the agenda for today?”

Since it was apparent that William wasn’t spilling the beans about Daniel’s identity, the director opted not to pry any further and flashed a grin.

“We’re shooting a commercial for Blue Enchantress. Alice is our leading lady, and Mr. Miller’s pick, Bruce, is the leading man. They’re about to shoot a romantic kissing scene in a flower-filled setting.”

William couldn’t help coughing upon hearing this.

What? A romantic kiss amidst flowers!

It felt like a horrible scene that could drive Daniel mad.

After all, there was no way Daniel would be okay with his wife doing a kissing scene, especially with someone like Bruce, who had a sketchy reputation!

At this point, William contemplated saying, “Maybe let’s sk ip this part,” but he wasn’t sure if that would be a feasible option.

As soon as Daniel walked in, his eyes immediately sought out his wife.

In the midst of the bustling crowd, he spotted Alice, clad in a dress reminiscent of a blue rose.

In an instant, his complete focus was locked on her.

Little did he know that his wife could look this captivating in such an outfit.

If he were the male lead in this commercial, he’d unquestionably rush forward and kiss his wife without a second thought.

But right now…

The director noticed Daniel’s intense gaze fixed on Alice and couldn’t quite decipher the emotions the bigwig held for her. So he smiled.

“Alice is remarkably versatile. She’s a perfect fit for the Blue Enchantress ad. It’s like the role was tailor- made for her.

“Mr. William, you certainly have an eye for talent. It’s no wonder your company discovers these hidden ge entertainment industry,” the director mused, believing that William would be pleased with the compliment

While Daniel was fixated on Alice, Alan strolled over, nonchalantly draping an arm over Daniel’s shoulder and giving a playful wink.

“You mischievous boy, finally decided to come over, huh? Thought you were gonna be all business today.”

The director was shocked.

“You mischievous boy?” the director thought.

Alan was certainly audacious. None of them would dare call Mr. Kaur that.

But from the looks of it, had Alan invited Mr. Kaur to observe Alice during the shoot?

Mr. Kaur didn’t seem to have any connection with Alice, but was he more acquainted with Alan?

“Let go!” Daniel’s tone turned icy with irritation evident on his finely sculpted face.

“Oh dear, you’re being quite harsh. I suppose I won’t be putting on a show for you later,” Alan drawled, elongating the words before flashing a mischievous grin.

“Today’s all about filming a kissing scene, you know. The director’s cooked up an incredibly romantic move.”
