Peter shouted at Laura with impatience, then looked at her with a stony face.
"It's smart to play nice in the crew, but you're not smart enough to do it well."
Laura raised her eyebrows.
She now knew what Peter thought of her.
She could hear other people talking about her. People only believe what they saw, and no one would bother to think why Laura would pick on Lanna.
Now even the director thought that she was a calculating woman. She first defended Lanna so that people would think that she was nice, but then privately retaliated against Lanna with an excuse for everyone's good.
She sneered, looked down at the sword on the ground, then calmly picked it up.
"It was my bad and I'm sorry, but I think we should finish the whole scene at least. Shall we pick up where we left off?"
Peter was struck dumb for a second, staring at the gorgeous actress in front of him in surprise.
"What?"
"Let's finish the scene. I don't think Lanna would want to affect the shooting schedule with a minor injury"
Lanna was also taken aback by her calm reaction.
She was so calm as if nothing had ever happened.
Everyone witnessing this scene couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment, wondering what Laura was thinking.
In the end, Peter frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "It's late. Let's get some lunch first. We'll do this in the afternoon."
On hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
Lanna sat peacefully on a deck chair. Her eyes swept over Laura. No one could see the ridicule in her eyes except for her assistant next to her.
To prevent awkwardness at the shooting scene in the afternoon, Laura thought for a while, then walked over to Lanna's side.
The production coordinators and cameramen not far away were all ears, as if they would miss the drama if they weren't paying attention.
"What do you want? Didn't you hear what Peter said?"
Seeing the calm expression on Laura's face, Lanna somehow lost confidence. She had forgotten how proud she was when she framed Laura, and she didn't dare to meet her eyes now.
"I came to apologize. It was my fault just now. Since we are shooting together, we should work together properly. I'm sorry."
Laura didn't sound reluctant, but Lanna was like a cat on a hot tin roof.
"Fine."
Her right cheek twitched unnaturally, and it was a smile that was even uglier than a cry.
Laura gave her a meaningful glance, then smiled and left without more words.
Lanna, however, began to feel less emboldened inexplicably after being treated like that.
Everybody was having lunch on the set. Nicole brought Laura her lunch.
But she seemed to be in a bad mood when she walked over.
