Although Michael had only those few lines in that scene, he struggled to complete his part without error for as long as he carried Sophia, unwilling to put her down even when it was time to rest.
Soon, Harry secretly approached Michael and begged with a soft voice, “Come on, buddy! Please get the shot done as soon as possible. Look how tired you’ve made them; even your wife can’t stand that. Now, look, she is yawning. Can you see that?”
Michael then shifted his gaze to Sophia, who was yawning in his arms. At first, Sophia’s heart fluttered with excitement about the scene, but as the actor kept getting his lines wrong, she eventually grew tired of the repeated takes they had to go through.
Oh gosh! I can’t take this anymore! How did Michael manage to hang in there all these years? I can’t believe I dozed off and woke up, only to see him still trying.
After a long afternoon, Sophia was beat as she yawned in exhaustion. She then sat down and drank some water while watching the filming process from the side. The shot is finally over, but the next one is probably going to look awkward.
The reason Sophia thought that way was because the protagonist was expected to retrieve the female supporting character who was again needed to be carried. There are three of us here who could play the role, but which of us should go ahead? In fact, Harry wished for Sophia to finish the act, but she was not the best fit, considering the awkward situation they were in.
As for Natasha, he shared a mutual disgusted feeling with her, and neither was Xyla his favorite. In the end, Harry decided to use a dummy instead. While Michael carried on with the shoot in a serious manner, every other cast member merely just went about their jobs in peace.
In the meantime, Natasha was seen sitting aside with a resentful look on her face, insisting on waiting for her opportunity of the day. Not long after that, Olivia came closer to Natasha and comforted her.
“Don’t let your wild imagination upset you. This is a set, so you need to keep your distance even if Taylor allowed you to participate in the filming.”
Meanwhile, Sophia settled down in a corner and connected her phone to Michael’s Wi-Fi, absorbed in her social media. In fact, Stanley had created a private group chat with only three members, including himself, Sophia, and Sean. This chatroom, which was active at the moment, was a place for them all to discuss their work , as well as office gossip.
Sean’s message popped up in the group. ‘Natasha has been squandering a lot in the past two days, and the Mitchell Family is not happy about it. Therefore, I believe you’d have won the battle against her if you had hung in there a little longer, Mrs. Murray.
Nevertheless, people like her won’t give up so easily, even if they have to exhaust their entire fortune. Therefore it’s best that you be careful these few days.’
Before Sophia could respond, Stanley replied in the chat group. ‘Darn it! ‘Mrs. Murray’ sounds disgusting! By the way, can you change a new profile picture instead of my uncle’s?
You’re going to give me a heart attack for that! Aren’t you worried that your ID would give away the truth that you’re married to my uncle, Mrs. Murray? Hello, anyone there? Say something, Eddie!’
On the other hand, Sophia only read the conversation in the chat group like a fly on the wall. In reality, the Mitchell Family couldn’t afford Natasha’s extravagant spending habit even though they might be well off.
