Chapter 47
“My friend is a fan of yours and she wanted me to bring her to see you,” Elise explained.
“You’re way more handsome than on television,” Mikayla gushed; she was blushing as she stared into Jack’s glimmering eyes.
Her response made Jack smirk devilishly. “Thank you. You’re quite attractive yourself.”
“We’re about to begin filming, Jack. Quickly come over.” As the deputy director had summoned Jack, he made his leave and returned to the set. Both Elise and Mikayla had a firsthand experience of watching the entire filming process.
Only a few short scenes needed to be filmed multiple times before they could wrap up the shoot and call it a day. Mikayla couldn’t help but sigh. “This is my first time seeing my husband hard at work. He’s so handsome that I can burst into tears.”
At this moment, the deputy director rushed over and he carefully regarded both Elise and Mikayla before finally selecting Mikayla. Then, he spoke, “We need a supporting actress for this particular scene. Why don’t you give it a shot?”
“Can I?” she cried out in surprise.
In truth, it was Elise that the deputy director had taken note of from afar since she had an alluring figure and carried herself well. It was such a pity her face… fell way short of the mark.
Thus, he had to resort to his second choice and rely on Mikayla. “Just give it a try. There are two or three scenes in total.”
The moment she heard that she could film with her idol, nothing else mattered. So, she quickly agreed before following the deputy director to have her costume and makeup done.
Elise had originally come to watch Jack film for Mikayla’s sake and now that Mikayla was off to film her scene, she decided to return to class. After bidding Mikayla adieu, Elise made her move to head to the classroom.
Yet, now that it was close to the end of the school day, Rita suddenly rushed up and
said, “Mikayla suffered an accident during the filming, Elise. Go and check on her!”
Upon hearing the news, Elise felt her heart drop. “What?! What kind of accident?”
There was a flicker in Rita’s gaze, but she still answered, “She fell and suffered a rather bad injury while shooting the scene. She’s behind Teaching Building 1.”
After hearing that, Elise was naturally anxious and immediately rushed off toward Teaching Building 1.
The moment she left, Rita went to look for Jasmine. “I did as you told me to. Elise is on her way there.”
Jasmine’s eyes darkened. “Good job.” As she said those words, she removed the bracelet on her wrist and shoved it into Rita’s hand. “What happens next will depend on you.”
Even though Rita closely stared at the bracelet, she still had her doubts. “Maybe we shouldn’t do this, Jasmine. What if we slip up?”
“Relax, I only wish to teach her a small lesson. Nothing bad will happen and even if something did happen, I’ll take the fall for it. What are you afraid of?”
Upon hearing Jasmine’s response, Rita relaxed as she tucked the bracelet into her pocket before she spun on her heel and left in the direction Elise was headed for.
Meanwhile, by the time Elise arrived at Teaching Building 1, the film crew had already left. Since this building was normally not in use, it was deserted now that the crew was no longer there.
“Where are you, Mikayla?” Even after she searched through the entire building, she failed to locate Mikayla.
