In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 165

As the camera started rolling, Katrina, who played the role of Stacie, began saying her line, “We shouldn’t come out so late at night. They will scold us if they find out.”

Stylar, who was cast as Leanne, replied, “Don’t worry. No one is going to find out. Stacie, do you know how to dance? Arthur has taught me before. He said he would bring me to a ball when he is back in town and teach me ballroom dance.”

“Stacie” lowered her head though her facial expression was a little unnatural. At this point, Skylar walked to the designated camera position where “Leanne” was supposed to pick a flower by the lakeside but accidentally slipped and fell into the lake.

She struggled in the water, calling out for help. It was done out of instinct as she was overwhelmed by the fear of drowning.

However, Daryl thought she was acting since this was exactly the type of genuine reaction he wished to capture.

Fortunately, Kai jumped into the pool to save her in the nick of time. He approached her from behind and placed his arms under her armpits before dragging her to the lakeside.

No one gave him a hand when he was pulling her to shore.

Soon after that, the crew’s doctors on standby crowded her. They realized she was suffering from serious pulmonary aspiration.

Kai was infuriated. “Are you guys blind? Can’t you see that she was drowning just now?” he roared.

Everyone fell silent at that, except Katrina.

“Tsk. She dares call herself an actress when she doesn’t even know how to swim?” Her words were dripping with mockery as she made the remark.

Skylar gradually regained consciousness. For a moment, she thought she was going to die.

Her body was soaking wet. Fortunately, Kai was thoughtful enough to cover her with a blanket.

Daryl played down the seriousness of the incident by saying casually, “That scene is not done yet. We still need to shoot the part where the female lead saves you.”

Hearing that, resentment started boiling in Skylar’s heart.

Kai raised his objection. “Do you really think she can do it again in her current condition? This is supposed to be Katrina’s scene. Why are you asking Skylar to do it instead?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to perform this part on my own, but the storyline requires her to do it.” Katrina refuted.

Lying on the ground, Skylar felt as if she was a rare animal in the zoo being surrounded by people. Reluctant to be the center of attention, she tried to stand up.
