Sabrina Briggs only wished that she could be in Grace’s position at this moment.
Suddenly, Jason bent over and leaned close to Grace’s ear. He whispered in her ear in a voice that could only be heard by her, “Wasn’t Sis wronged the last time you filmed? How about I help you show them who’s the boss?”
Grace was stunned. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at him doubtfully.
The extras around Grace felt wave after wave of shock when they saw this. Even an idiot could see that Grace and Jason was close. They all wondered what was Grace’s background.
Was she the daughter of a rich family? Was she here as an extra to kill time?
As for the rest who knew Jason’s identity, the shock was more like a tidal wave. If word got out today, the gossip industry in
Emerald City would probably have a field day.
The big boss from Emerald City was so intimate with a little extra. How unusual!
Lily saw this, she squeezed her red lips. A flash of worry and panic crossed her eyes.
As for Evelyn, she gritted her teeth with hatred, knowing that her original plans for today would be rendered useless. Jason obviously had something to do with Grace.
The thought of how Brian had introduced her to Jason and the way Jason looked at her made Evelyn shudder. She had an unspeakable fear toward Jason.
The director asked the a**istant director next to him a little awkwardly, “Young Master Reed’s friend… Err, is that extra?”
“Who is that little extra? How can she be a friend of Young Master Reed?” the director asked.
The a**istant director’s face was ghastly. How would he know? “How about… I’ll get someone to check it out later?”
At that moment, Jason turned around and walked back to the director, saying, “Alright, you can shoot. I’ll just have a look around.”
“Good,” the director said hurriedly, but in a cautious tone.
The director’s back broke into a sweat at the thought of the time when Young Master Reed’s ‘friend’ had kneeled and groveled several times as a demonstration. It was all Evelyn’s fault. However, if Young Master Reed was really going to start a fight, Evelyn had the crown prince to protect her. He, on the other hand, had no one. He would be the first to suffer.
Therefore, the director began filming while shuddering. He was hoping that Evelyn would not lose her head and find some way to pick on this little extra.
Fortunately, Jason just stood there, smiling and patiently watching the filming. He did not seem to be angry. It was as if he was really there to watch them shoot.
The director and the staff around him were a little relieved.
However, when it came to the kneeling scene, Jason suddenly said, “Stop.”
The director shivered as he looked at Jason. He said, “Mr. Reed, is there a problem?”
“I think I remember that one of the actors said that the kneeling and groveling in this scene was not up to standard last time, so she got someone to demonstrate for quite a while, right?” Jason asked casually as if he was just talking about something casual.
The director was momentarily dumbstruck, not knowing what to say.
Jason’s voice was not soft, so many people heard it. All eyes immediately turned to Evelyn.
Before she knew it, Evelyn was startled when she heard Jason saying, “Since this person doesn’t think it’s up to standard, let her demonstrate for us.”
He said as he cast a casual glance at Evelyn as if the matter was now settled.
Evelyn almost wanted to scream. What did that mean? Was she supposed to kneel and grovel? She was the second female lead! She was also Brian’s girlfriend. How could she kneel and grovel in public when it was an extra’s job?
Jason was clearly standing up for Grace and trying to find fault with her!
Evelyn froze with a pale face. The director looked at Jason before once again looking at Evelyn. He considered for a while, then quickly walked up to Evelyn and squeezed a smile.
He said, “Evelyn, since it was you who said the extras’ were not up to standard last time, why don’t you show the extras what’s expected of them? Think of it as a demonstration for the extras. It’s also kind to help the extras, is it not?”
Evelyn choked with resentment. “It’s not my part. Why should I
demonstrate it?”
The director lowered his voice and said, “Evelyn, I’m not trying to give you a hard time. It’s Young Master Reed who wants you to demonstrate. If you really don’t want to demonstrate, that’s fine. Why don’t you just go talk to Young Master Reed?”
When the director said this, Evelyn’s face changed again. She did not have the courage to talk to Jason. The thought of Jason looking at her made her shudder again.
Through gritted teeth, Evelyn barely squeezed the three words out of her mouth. “Alright, I’ll demonstrate!”
The director finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he made Evelyn demonstrate in public.
Evelyn’s face looked mortified. She could now clearly see that the cast and the crew looking at her with sympathy. Behind their sympathy, there was also mockery and amusement.
After all, she had only been a small-time actress before this.
All of a sudden, she became the girlfriend of the entertainment industry’s crown prince and made many people were jealous.
Now she was in such bad luck that people were glad to see it happen to her.
Taking a deep breath, Evelyn began to kneel and grovel in front of the entire crew.
However, she had never practiced this before. Some of the basic gestures, which she made according to the impression she had seen earlier, were not up to standard at all.
Another thing was that her mind was in such a mess that she wanted to get the demonstration done as soon as possible, not caring whether or not it was up to standard.
After finally finishing the kneeling and groveling, Evelyn got up and thought that the matter was over with. However,
Jason’s voice rang again, “She looked as if she was kneeling and groveling to the air, which affected her performance. Her movements felt jerky. Why don’t we find someone to stand in front of her so that she can properly kneel and grovel?”
Jason said and went up to Grace. He pulled Grace into the crowd, looking lazily at Evelyn while saying, “Why don’t you demonstrate one more time?”
“What?” Evelyn was full of disbelief. What Jason meant was…
“You want me to kneel in front of her?”
“Is there a problem?” Jason asked, raising his eyes lazily.
Evelyn choked up, and her face turned red. However, she could not utter a word.
Grace watched as Evelyn choked up. Was Jason standing up for her? Or was he telling her even though Evelyn had Brian as a backer, he could still get her down on her knees if he wanted to?
Just then, there was another commotion at the entrance of the shooting site.
The director turned and looked, not knowing whether to be nervous or relieved.
Who would have thought that the two VIPs would be here today? What the hell was going on today?
He saw a tall figure approaching. The man was dressed in a dark grey overcoat, matching his handsome but indifferent face. If it was not Brian, who else would it be?
There will be a standing up ovation between the two
