In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 147

The moment they stepped off the bus, a cloud of dust and sand swirled around them. Apparently, this town was identified by the government as one of the poverty-stricken areas in the country.

There was a man in a white cap and grey waistcoat standing by the entrance of the town. When he spotted Jeremy and Skylar, he made his way towards them immediately.

They couldn’t tell how old he was. He had long and thick sideburns that extended down the sides of his face. There was something bulky shifting around in his coat pocket.

“Oh, the both of you came together! I’m Howard Cowley. I am tasked to pick the both of you up.”

Howard’s eyes were fixed on Skylar as he spoke. He couldn’t help but notice how supple her skin looked. How beautiful!

Jeremy was very eager to make himself stand out. He rushed forward and shook Howard’s hand immediately.

On the other hand, Skylar merely smiled timidly at Howard.

Howard led them to where the production crew was. On their way there, he updated them regarding the important details of the shooting procedure.

Skylar turned to him and asked, “Has the director arrived yet?”

Howard smiled cheerfully at her. “Yes. Regarding your role as the lead actress, the production team has arranged for another candidate to film separately. The director will take a look at each of your scenes individually before deciding on the lead actress. You guys may go ahead and practice first. We will start with the supporting actors’ scenes first.”

Jeremy was pleased to hear this. “I knew it! A renowned director wouldn’t take the lead actress casting so lightly!”

Howard’s words proved Skylar’s suspicions correct. Before this, she had wondered if her success had come too suddenly.

If she were Daryl’s first choice for the lead actress role, he wouldn’t be treating her so poorly—poor enough to have her book her own cab to the shooting location.

Perhaps he had been acting on impulse back when he chose her, and now he regretted it.

They finally arrived at the filming site. This was the first time Skylar had seen so many cameras around her. As the extras paced around the set listlessly, the director barked out orders to the other workers.
