A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 75

"Apologies, Director Guo. I was thinking about something else just now." Lisa apologized for spacing out for a moment. She straightened her back and leaned forward. "I think I know how the play will go."

"Really?" Director Guo tilted his head and looked at Lisa with a hint of doubt. "I’m telling you, if you can’t still act well, then I have to let you and Julia exchange roles until you can do it."

"Be assured, I’ll give my role justice this time." She held her chin up.

Although she was clueless about why Julia let her go, Lisa had reached her purpose, nonetheless. If it went on like this, Director Guo wouldn’t be pleased. She had to give up.

After they settled, they proceeded to film shooting. Director Guo was satisfied since the following scenes went on smoothly. The last scene was revolving around the hero and the heroine. Right after Julia finished their performance, she headed to the dressing room. Abby followed her. "Julia, I bought some ointment for you. This will prevent the swelling of your injury."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Julia’s face lit up. Her scenes for that day were finished.

She hadn’t had a good rest for so long. On her chair, she grabbed pieces of cotton and started removing her makeup. Before leaving, she packed all her stuff and covered herself up with her coat on the way out. It was already late when she arrived at her hotel room.

Terrence arrived only minutes after Julia left.

Since he knew that Julia was shooting in this area, he couldn’t take it out of his mind. When he went to the company this morning, he couldn’t focus on his work. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to pay her a visit.

The atmosphere on set instantly changed when Terence appeared out of nowhere. He was looking around for Julia when Jean came out. She asked in a sweet voice, "Why are you here, Terence?"

In order not to be awkward, Terence smiled. His mouth was shut because he couldn’t even think of anything to say.

Discreetly, he studied the area searching for Julia, but he failed.

"Hmm, are you here to visit me?" Jean’s smile was plastered on her face.

"Uh, yes," Terence answered while scratching his nose. "Since you’re injured, I’m worried about you and I decided to drop by after work. Is it over?"

"No. Not yet. But they no longer need me for the following scenes today. I can go now."

"Really?" His eyes were still scanning the place.

"Terence? Hey. Terence!" Jean was not a fool. Seeing his severe expression, she knew that Terence came here for Julia. Although she was very angry, she still kept her countenance and said, "I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?"

"What?" Her words brought Terence back to reality. He leaned forward, his hand slightly massaging his own nape.

He had already looked around but unfortunately didn’t find Julia. He was all torn up.

"I said, just wait for me. I’ll inform the director that I have to bounce out. Let’s have dinner together, shall we?" Jean insistently invited him while being flirtatious at the same time.

"Okay." Feeling out of choices, he nodded.

Her eyes still fixed on Terence and she asked, "Then, can you come with me?"

There was another thing occupying her mind. Jean and Terence’s relationship had been falsely disclosed on the Internet. Their relationship was nothing like what was going around. But she was determined to prove the rumors around.

"Let’s go. Director Guo kept on talking about you when we were together. It seems like he wants to be your friend." While talking, she wrapped her hands at Terence’s left arm and walked towards the director.

Lisa had just finished another scene. Meters away, she saw Jean holding someone’s arm approaching them. She narrowed her eyes and figured that the man was Terence. Her eyes lit up.
