Thinking of that, she sighed and turned over, saying to Nichole, "Let's go."
Nichole nodded and left with her.
For the next two days, all the crew members could easily tell that Stephen was in a bad mood.
The Rogers family was an average one, but those people didn't dare to look down on Stephen because of his connection with the McCarthy family and his friendship with Archie.
Given that he was in a bad mood, people were trying not to make him mad, but at the same time, they were all very curious.
They didn't dare to ask Stephen, so they could only ask Timothy.
Timothy, however, was also confused. He had a guess, but he wasn't sure enough and didn't dare to tell people about it.
Stephen would kill him if he did.
So Timothy didn't tell anyone anything.
Laura felt bothered and helpless when she saw what was happening.
To make it clear with Stephen was the best she could do, while at the same time, it was also the most ruthless way.
Sometimes people don't profess their love for their beloved ones because they were afraid that would affect their image, and even the existing friendship would be ruined, too.
However, she wasn't one of those. She was willing to be friends with Stephen.
But he wouldn't give her the chance.
Even the director had noticed his feelings towards her.
One day, Stephen was off work early, leaving Laura alone on the set. The director seized the opportunity and called her over.
He kept it down and asked her, "What's with you and Stephen?"
Laura didn't know that the director had noticed the cold war between her and Stephen, so she asked, "What do you mean?"
The director frowned.
"How long are you going to keep the secret from me? You two are like strangers on the set now, ignoring each other. I would be blind if I hadn't noticed something's going on between you two!"
Laura then realized that everybody had noticed it.
She couldn't help putting on a wry smile.
In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to talk to Stephen. Every time she talked to him, he would look at her with a very complicated gaze.
And then he would sigh and leave.
Laura didn't know what to do, either. She didn't know what he wanted.
At first, she tried to amend their relationship because there were the leading actor and actress in the crew. They would be other people's laughingstocks if they keep doing this.
But after she tried quite a few times, his reactions were always the same.
She wondered if her refusal was too blunt that it had hurt Stephen's self-esteem.
He might hate her now because every time she showed up, he would think about that failure. That was why he sighed at her.
Thinking of that, Laura felt that she should stop making it harder for him. So she stopped trying.
Since then, the two had stopped talking to each other. In other people's eyes, they were deliberately ignoring each other.
Laura sighed in distress, "It's all right. It's just a misunderstanding. We will be fine after some time.
The director peeked at her and snorted coldly.
"Are you sure? We're on set now, so I can help to manage the gossip within the crew. When the time comes, we'll have to do publicity and roadshows for the movie. If something is sniffed by the public, they would say that the starring actor and actress were in dispute. I think you know how much damage that would do to the box office, do you?"
