Chapter 188

Zoe still did not understand. “So what?”

“So you’re not suitable for said scene,” Jay replied.

“How so?” Zoe scoffed. “Is my figure lacking, perhaps? So much so that I don’t have your attention, director?”

Jay glowered right then.

He never got angered easily, but he just had a high standard when it comes to filming. He would not keep a scene if he was unhappy about it, but he rarely threw a fit because of that unless he really could not take it.

But the air around him at the moment was frighteningly chilling. No one on set dared to make a sound as the atmosphere suddenly seemed to become suffocating.

“Zoe… Penny, Zoe’s assistant, tugged at Zoe’s sleeve ever so subtly just then.

She was certainly concerned that they would really come to blows,

Whatever the case may be, they could not afford to provoke Jay since he was both a famous director and a member of the Levine family.

And with that, Zoe gritted her teeth and kicked chair nearby, knocking it over very loudly.

Everyone was left stunned and watched as Zoe turned to leave after that outburst..

For Zoe’s part, she only knew too well that she would not be able to change Jay’s mind even if she threatened to kill herself in front of him.

It was no different when she tried to jump him with liquid courage, believing that she could be content with having his body even if she could not have his heart. Jay ended up pushing her off so forcefully she hit her head on the wall and had multiple stitches, with scars still left on the back of her head.

It was the scar that brought her back to reality and out of her crazed obsession to possess him.

Nonetheless, the atmosphere at the film set remained stiff as Jay stared red-eyed at the chair Zoe knocked over

Eventually, he turned and snapped coolly, “Back to work!”

It was only then that the production crew returned to their tasks, though the assistant director was sliding glances at Jay, who was already engrossed with filming once more.
