Chapter 144
After Eliza was sent to the hotel by Graciana, she fell asleep on the bed right away as she was exhausted from being tormented by Beau. She slept till the next morning. At seven o’clock in the morning, the crew’s staff knocked on the door. “Miss Lawson, it’s time to get up and get ready for filming.” Eliza yawned and slowly walked out of the door. The crew arranged breakfast for everyone in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. When Eliza arrived at the restaurant, everyone was there. Joye and Gloria were sitting together, and Julian was sitting in the distance. Julian was eating while looking at his mobile phone, and a smile occasionally appeared on his lips. Needless to say, Eliza knew that he was definitely sending a message to Liliana. So, following Julian, she found a corner and sat down. While eating, she clicked open the chat with Braint and Demarion. “Mommy, daddy has made us breakfast.” As soon as she sent out the message, Demarion began to complain, “The food daddy cooks is really bad.” “But even if it’s bad, I still ate a little.” “Braint is different. He didn’t eat a single bite and told daddy that only a pig would eat such a terrible breakfast.” “Eh? Something’s wrong. Mommy, was Braint scolding me?” Eliza couldn’t be happier. “If I were you, I would fight with Braint.” Two minutes later, the news from Stars came again. “It’s over. I haven’t fought yet but I was taught a lesson by Braint.” “Oh, I’m so miserable!” For some reason, Eliza was also happy to see Demarion complaining. “Wait for mommy to make you a delicious meal to compensate you!” “Okay, mommy, I’ll wait for you!” Eliza chuckled. Just as she was about to put down her phone, she received a message from Braint.
“You’ve been fooled.” Braint’s text was short and simple as usual. “He didn’t get punished at all.” Eliza shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly. “It’s all right. Either way, I’m also planning to make good food for you.” “Okay.” Braint was so mature that he did not sound like a five-year-old child. “All the best for your filming.” “Talk to me when you encounter unhappy things. Maybe I can help you.” “I’ve made a deal with Lilliana. She will only disturb her uncle for the time being, not you.” “If it’s necessary, Demarion and I can help you to deal with it too.”
Eliza, “…”
“There’s no need.” When she spoke to Braint, she always had the illusion that she was talking to an elder. “I’m going to work now.” “Well, I’m going to work, too.” “You’re working?” “Yes, I’ll take care of the two little demons, Demarion and Liliana.” 2 After that, he sent a helpless emoji to Eliza. “Lilliana really doesn’t regard herself as an outsider.” “Tsk tsk tsk, being a heroine can actually make her so happy on the first day of filming.” Eliza had just put down her phone when Gloria, who was in the distance, started to mock her again. “Don’t let it go to your head!” Eliza didn’t want to argue with her, so she turned around and continued to eat. After eating, she went to the filming site with Julian. According to the original arrangement of shooting, she had two kiss scenes with Julian this morning. Eliza looked at the time. It was about 10:30 a.m. And when she was with Beau yesterday, she seemed to have heard his conversation with Noah saying that there was an important meeting at ten o‘clock this morning and it would last for more than an hour. Sitting in the chair, she counted on her fingers. At ten o’clock, Beau would be having a meeting. Even if they finished the meeting earlier, an hour of the meeting would only be shortened to half an hour at most. And the distance from Valentine’s Group to the set was an hour’s drive. In other words, if Beau were to hold this meeting, he would definitely not be able to make it to today’s kissing scene. Was she really going to film with Julian? Eliza sighed. Forget it. Beau worked hard to make himself a substitute for the kissing scenes just because he didn’t want to see her kiss Julian, did he? She couldn’t possibly film the kiss scene secretly just because he had something more important to do, could she? Thinking of this, she stood up and walked to the director with a smile. “Director, can you change the shooting arrangement this morning?” “Hey, who do you think you are?” As soon as she said that, Gloria suddenly raised her voice. “The leading actress is really different. She wants the director to change the shooting arrangement for her on the first day. Amazing!” Eliza rolled her eyes. When was Gloria going to stop? She knew that Gloria was actually bewitched by others, so she had never really been angry with Gloria. It was just that she had been demeaning her all the time. It was really annoying! Joye, who was on the side, chuckled. “Gloria, don’t say that.” “Who knows if Eliza might have her own reasons?” “I saw that there are two kissing scenes this morning. She probably isn’t ready to shoot the kissing scenes with the substitute.” Joye’s words completely reminded Gloria. Right! Eliza wanted to change the timing just before the filming began. She probably didn’t want to kiss that legendary greasy
old man! Thinking of this, Gloria quickly came to the director and said, “Mr. Diaz, do you still remember that there’s a producer who should be a substitute for the kissing scenes?” “There are two kissing scenes this morning. When will this substitute arrive?” “We can’t stop him from doing it. After all, the producer is designated. If Eliza doesn’t kiss him for the kissing scenes, the producer will be angry.” Wasn’t Eliza trying to change the time so that she could kiss Mr. Benton when they filmed? She wanted Eliza to kiss the substitute instead! Mr. Diaz frowned and looked at Eliza. “You want to change the time of these two kissing scenes?” Eliza nodded. “Yes.” “Ha.”
Mr. Diaz sneered, “We do have to make different arrangements for the time, but Eliza, don’t even think about making any trouble.” “We’ll shoot other scenes normally today. As for this kissing scene… we’ll shoot it as soon as the substitute arrives!” What Eliza was waiting for was precisely this sentence! “Yes, director!” After saying this, Eliza turned and left directly. Gloria and Joye looked at each other. Eliza’s reaction was a little strange… Why did it seem like she was also waiting for the substitute for the kissing scene… After settling the issue about the substitute, Eliza began to seriously recite the lines and film. Soon, it was 10:30, the time for her and Julian’s first kiss. However, Beau, as the substitute, had not arrived for a long time. Mr. Diaz took a look at the time. “Let’s wait another five minutes. If the substitute is not here yet, we will…” Before he finished his words, a black Maserati stopped directly at the door of the set. The door opened, and a proud and noble man strode down. “Wow!” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
In the distance, Gloria was so shocked that her eyes widened. “Who is this?” She had been in the entertainment circle for so long, but she had not seen many men who were as handsome as Julian. And the man in front of her… Whether it was his appearance or temperament, or even the way he walked… he could be on par with Julian! No, maybe he was slightly better.
This man… who “Hello, Director.” The man in a black trench coat walked up to Mr. Diaz and reached out his hand lightly. “I’m the substitute of Eliza’s kissing scenes today.” Gloria took a deep breath, and her voice changed. “He is a substitute!?”
