My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

“Excuse me, Sir.” Jay’s expression was stony. “I respect your interest in this production. However, I believe you should not affect our progress.” For some reason, Jay could feel the hostility this cold and reserved man had towards him. It felt almost tangible. “Is that so?”

Beau looked up at him. His gaze was so domineering that it was almost suffocating.

“Yes, Sir!” Jay frowned and looked into the man’s dark, obsidian eyes. “You must not disturb us.” The fact was that they could very well go through their lines while filming, but Jay had insisted to do it in the conference room instead. He intended to make use of Eliza to gain more popularity. But if this man decides to sit between them to separate them, there would not be any photographs taken of him being close and intimate with Eliza! “It’s not necessary to sit next to each other to go through our lines.”

Eliza interrupted Jay. “We can get it done like this too.”

She looked past Beau and glanced at Jay. “We‘re just going through our lines and not actually acting, so it doesn’t matter if we have distance between us.”

“That’s right!” The chief director wiped away the perspiration on his brows and quickly agreed with Eliza. “It’s better to let this gentleman sit between the two of you. That way, he will be able to experience your chemistry first-hand!” . Then, he gave Jay a wink. Although Jay was unhappy about it, there was nothing else he could say. He just took out his phone and sent Madeleine a text message. I “We have no need of the paparazzi anymore. Send them away. They won’t be getting any intimate photos today.” Very soon, Madeleine replied. “What’s going on? “They have even got the articles on standby. What do you mean they won’t be getting any intimate photos?” “A top gun came and messed everything up.” “Damn it!” Madeleine put down her phone after replying to Jay’s message.   “What’s wrong?” A woman who was with Madeleine in the cafe stirred her coffee gracefully as she asked airily. “Esme, I just got information that we won’t be able to get any intimate photos of Eliza and Jay today.”

Madeleine sighed. “Jay said that someone messed things up.” “We’ll take things slow.” Esme continued to stir her coffee leisurely. “As long as there’s interaction between Eliza and Jay, we will be able to get what we need, sooner or later.” She was curious if Mr. Valentine would be able to accept Eliza being entangled with her ex boyfriend time and time again. At that very moment, Beau was sitting between Eliza and Jay, holding a copy of the script that the chief director had handed him. “The second female lead is a character who lacks logical thinking and intelligence.”

Beau concluded after he went through the script. The chief director didn’t know what to say to that. He took a deep breath and then looked at Beau with a face full of smiles. “So, are you…” Beau looked up casually at Noah who had been standing quietly by the side. Noah coughed lightly and led the director out the door. Instantly, there were only Eliza, Jay, and Beau left in the conference room. Jay crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair haughtily with a sneer. “Well? Do you think you can alter the script? “I’ll have you know, this production has 200 million dollars worth of investment involved. How much more are you ready to put in that you think you can change the script as you wish?” Beau lowered his eyes and flipped through the script gracefully, completely ignoring Jay. His nonchalant attitude infuriated Jay. With gritted teeth, he glared at Beau and said, “You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? “You think that she’ll form a good impression of you if you put yourself between us and not let the both of us interact? “Or do you think that just by putting in a few million dollars, you can change the script at will? And at the same time manipulate this actress beside you into sleeping with you? “Let me break this to you, she is married, and her husband is someone you can’t afford to mess with!” As he flipped through the script, Beau’s hand paused mid-air for a brief second. He turned his head and glanced at him. “Can you afford to mess with him, then?” “Of course I’m afraid of him too.”

Jay was completely lost in his flaunting and let his tongue loose. “If you must know, this woman was involved in something shady five years ago…” “Jay Carr!” Just before he could blurt out everything that had happened back then without a care in the world, Eliza immediately stopped him.
