There he goes with his obscene comments again.
Sophia was covered in sweat, so she had a shower with Michael at 6.30 AM. After she was done, a young person in bright-colored clothes appeared with a bag of newly purchased apparel.
The colorfully clothed person had a smart mouth upon entering the room too. “Whoa, this is as expected from Mrs. Fletcher! It has been years since we last met, but you are even prettier in person!”
Michael made the introduction. “This is Danny and he is my assistant in the film crew.”
The clothes that Danny brought over had already been washed, so they were clean and comfortable—it was some casual and convenient clothing, but all the shoes and apparel were in Sophia’s size. Therefore, she changed into her new clothes and shoes before looking for her BB cream in Carmen’s small husky bag. Then, she applied a thin layer on her face while preparing to leave the hotel.
Carmen’s small husky bag was truly well equipped—it had a tube of toothpaste, toothbrush, some snacks, BB cream, mini rubber bands, etc. Sophia thought, It looks like she was already prepared to come over to the set of her dad’s film. I am sure both father and daughter have planned this beforehand. One of them is targeting the role in the film whereas the other has been targeting me.
Now that Carmen was awake, Sophia helped her to wash up and brush her hair before the family of three left for the restaurant for breakfast. After that, they went to the film set for the opening ceremony. Michael had to get himself styled before showing up for the cameras.
Upon arriving at the spot, Carmen swiftly turned into an obedient and adorable child who always clung onto her father’s leg. On the other hand, Sophia knew what her daughter had in mind—she was trying to get more screen time while looking good in the hopes of getting a role at the last minute.
Michael placed Carmen on his thigh while patiently advising, “Baby, you are still young, so there’s no need to rush into acting. When the time is right, I will secure a good film for you.”
Carmen pouted because she was clearly upset due to her desire to act in the film. Sophia was afraid that she could affect his work, so she immediately picked up her daughter to take her away. Sophia wore a mask while she blended with the group of crew without exposing her identity and whenever she was tired, she would rest and sleep in his SUV.
While the opening ceremony progressed smoothly, Carmen loitered around the film set for the entire day. She was unhappy because she was unable to secure any screen time. Hence, she seemed gloomy when they were headed home that night.
Wasn’t it promised that I will get a role if I trick Mommy to board the plane? I managed to trick Mommy onto the plane, but I didn’t get my role!
It was during dinner when Sophia commented, “I am taking Carmen home tomorrow.”
Michael, who was in the midst of having his meal, started to gobble as he spoke, “Hurry up and eat, dear. There is no time to lose since we still need to settle our business.”
Since she mentioned that she was leaving the next day, he was not even bothered to read the script that night. Instead, he went straight to business as if he was racing against the clock most of the night. He even set the alarm clock for the next morning to have another round with her after waking up.
She planned to take Carmen home to Bayside City the first thing in the morning, but somehow, the young child heard that some extras were needed in the film set to play the role of village women during the revolutionary period. Carmen felt that she had the potential to act as one, so she urged Sophia to bring her to the set for an audition.
Upon arriving at the set, Carmen ran straight to the group of extras and tried hard during the audition. She competed with a group of older women for the longest time and finally secured a dreary role as an extra.
As Sophia watched Carmen acting with all she had despite being dressed in gray and shabby clothing, her heart went out for her daughter.
Who would have thought that the daughter of the producer and male lead would have to compete with a bunch of extras for a role?
In the end, Carmen was delighted as she received a set of dull and shabby clothing for her role and soon filmed her scene.
Today’s scene was a simple one to film—foreigners had entered the village to slaughter everyone and it was a cruel scene. The male lead saw smoke rising in the direction of the village, so he led his army to rush over. However, when he saw the brutal and inhuman atrocity before him, he instantly lost his temper. As a result, he chased after the enemy for almost a hundred miles before finally avenging the villagers. Nevertheless, he fell into the enemy’s trap by accident and became an easy target for them. Later, he was forced to retreat into the snowy mountain, bringing about a series of tragic and profound stories.
