Chapter 1072
Everett opened his eyes and met Ninian‘s eyes.
Ninian could see a hint of frustration and boredom in his gaze.
‘He looks bored.
She was a little stunned.
‘I didn‘t expect to see such emotion in him after getting the chance to see him again.
‘But why would he be bored?‘
“Get ready. We‘re starting soon.”
Everyone on the set started moving at a faster pace once the director spoke. Everett got up, and Ninian did not have the energy to ponder on her emotion. She headed directly to the shooting area.
This drama was about the struggle between nations and beliefs. Ninian played Elliot White and Everett played Abelardo Fitzgerald.
She had shoulder–length hair and wore a school uniform. Every little gesture she showed represented a graceful schoolgirl. Sunlight shone through the branches, casting silhouettes on her.
Her gaze was determined, and her tone was gentle and resolute. “If the government indulges in riches and languishes in lavish lifestyles, the people suffer outside. The whole government is full of corruption. It can‘t protect the country or the people. The government is about to collapse, and the people are in danger. We must forge a new path that is for the people.”
Everett looked at her solemnly with his dark pupil. His gaze was as deep as the sea.
He smiled contemptuously and put his hands in his pocket. He looked unruly and unrestrained. “How are you going to forge a new path? How and what capital do you have to make it come true?
“Do you even know how society is now? There are separatists, plutocrats, state–owned businesses, and four powerful families who control the entire industry.
“You‘re just a woman. You‘re powerless, have no rights, and only have a mere lofty ambition. You‘ll be easily crushed just by the command of someone powerful. Do you think you can truly forge a new path that can save the country?”
He looked imposing, his gaze and the words he said felt as sharp as a knife.
