Chapter 913

The scene involved subtle glances and physical interactions in bed. For actors, performing intimate scenes was quite normal and didn’t feel awkward. But for Natalie…
She took a deep breath to calm herself, mentally scolding, “What am I even thinking?”
It was just a rehearsal. They were merely running lines, exchanging a few glances to help Austin get into character. There was no need for actual intimacy, nor would she ever consider crossing that line.
Even if the thought crossed her mind, she certainly wouldn’t act on it.
The first run–through went smoothly.
Austin, impressed, complimented her, “Have you ever thought about studying acting? Even though we were just rehearsing the lines, you caught on quickly and responded well to my cues.”
Natalie shook her head, smiling shyly. “You’re just being nice. I’m not that good.”
Natalie sensed that Austin’s expectations of her were low, which made sense since he wasn’t holding her to an actor’s standard. That was probably why he didn’t push her too hard and believed she had potential.
“Let’s move on to the next scene,” Austin said with a smile.
Natalie grew nervous as she glanced at the scene description. She couldn’t help but confess, “Mr. Powell, this next scene is way too intimate. It mainly involves eye contact between the two characters.
“I can’t really… perform that. Maybe you could just act it out and pretend my face is the female lead’s?”
She deliberately left out the physical aspects of the scene. Intimacy was hard for her to perform, but she could manage eye contact.
With a low and serious tone, Austin replied, “Alright.”
Despite her claims of being unable to perform, Natalie did her best to immerse herself in the role. She wanted to help Austin as much as possible. After all, she watched him film daily and had picked up some professionalism from observing.
But Austin’s gaze was charged with an intensity that made her heart race. She could feel the sexual tension building.
Thankfully, she remained focused. Otherwise, she might have thought Austin had different intentions.
Natalie couldn’t help but gush over Austin in her head. “Oh my god! Mr. Powell
is so charming, and his acting is incredible. It’s like I’m the female lead in this scene. That’s the magic of Mr. Powell. I’ve got to tell Skylar about this later.”
She wouldn’t have imagined being in this position a year ago, helping Austin with his scenes.
Natalie’s mind was initially scattered, but she slowly got drawn into the scene.
Suddenly, her thoughts went blank.
She didn’t realize when it happened, but everything went dark before her. And then, she was kissed.
The kiss deepened gradually. But at that moment, someone knocked on the door, jolting them both back to reality.
Natalie snapped out of it, staring at Austin in shock. “Mr. Powell…”
Austin swallowed hard, his gaze dark and intense, with a palpable desire swirling in his eyes.

The knocking continued, insistent and loud.
Austin looked at Natalie, who was still in shock. After a few seconds, he said, “I’ll get the door.”

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
