Chapter 134
Jared stood at the door, his icy demeanor seemingly dropping the room temperature.
A sea of puzzled faces filled the room.
“Wasn’t Mr. Whitfield always up to his neck at work?
Why did he always have time to monitor the film crew, mainly when this scene didn’t even involve Mamie?”
Mamie was there, too. Despite not being part of the scene, she was on set watching, just like everyone else
Seeing Jared, Mamie’s face subtly changed.
She didn’t think he would actually show
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Jared walked in, approached Agnes, and coldly said, “No bedroom scenes. Get a stand–in”
His words made the room even quieter. Everyone was taken aback.
Mr. Whitfield didn’t want Agnes to do a bed scene?
This was big news
Was there something between Mr. Whitfield and Agnes?
What’s more, Mamie was also present. Mr. Whitfield actually stopped another woman from doing a bed scene in front of Mamie without considering her feelings.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Mamie. As expected, her expression had turned sour.
Agnes felt even more awkward.
Has Jared gone nuts?
Telling her what to do in front of everyone, wasn’t he afraid of being misunderstood?
Justin stood before Agnes and asked, “Mr. Whitfield, don’t you think you’re overstepping your boundaries? What’s your relationship with Agnes that even her scenes are your concern?”
“You know our relationship. On the other hand, you should check if you can handle it before trying to steal someone else’s girl”
The director came over, looking puzzled.
Justin turned to the director, “Director Zoe, if a stand–in is used, I’m out. You can get whomever you want.”
Director Zoe was in a bind, “Mr. Whitfield, Agnes‘ stand–in isn’t on set. This might be difficult.”
Jared didn’t care, being the main investor in this drama.
“Who said the stand–in had to be a woman? I meant for Justin’s part.”
The director was taken aback. Ivan had found a stand–in for Agnes but not for Justin.
“Then who could replace Justin?” Director Zoe asked, puzzled.
“Me, Jared answered without hesitation.
Agnes was stunned. What on earth was happening?
Everyone was confused.
But one thing was clear….
There’s definitely more than meets the eye between Agnes and Mr. Whitfield.
The awkwardness was reaching a breaking point when Ivan stepped in and broke the stalemate.
He had actually come with Jared and had seen everything from the door.
As the producer, Ivan had a lot of say here..
Ivan walked over and whispered something to the director.
The director’s face was a mix of expressions. Then he said to Justin, “Justin, step outside with me. I have something to discuss with you”
