Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 54

"Director, Group A's camera is ready."

"Group B is ready too."

"Alright, let's get ready for the next take."

After the cameras were in position, the crew was ready to start shooting. Pearl walked away from the operation table. 

Leaving the set, she could only walk in one direction. There was no way she could avoid Richard. She could only brace herself and go forward.

"Okay, ready, action!"

......

The background noise was the sound of the camera moving on the track. The sound man held the microphone high. Evelina was wearing a green sterile suit and speaking her lines.

Pearl moved sideways to make way for the cameras and sound man, but she stepped on the line and stumbled. Thankfully someone reached out next to her and caught her before she fell.    

She saw the hand holding her arm first. She raised her head and wanted to thank the person, but she just saw Richard's familiar face. His dark eyes was staring at her silently. 

She mouthed the words 'thank you' to him, then pulled her hand out of his grasp without trace. She took a step back, and stood away from him before anyone else could sense that something was off.

There were only several people in the operating room, because silence was required on set. Most irrelevant personnel were told to leave. Except for the sound of actors speaking their lines, there was only the slight sound of machines moving on the track, which was almost inaudible.

"Cut." The director raised his hand to show stop. "Evelina? What's going on? Why did you make the same mistake again? You must hold the instruments right. This is a medical drama, which our supervisor attaches great importance to."

"Director, I've tried my best. I've been practicing the whole morning, so my hand hurts." Evelina said, who felt wronged.

"Let's have lunch first. Nobody can finish work unless we get this take."

Once he finished his sentence, the entire crew sighed.

Evelina tightened her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. After putting down the props in her hand, she pushed the makeup artist far away and asked, "Where is Mr. Zellweger?"     

The makeup artist was stunned for a second. She looked around and said with some doubt, "He was here just now. He might went out."    

Evelina looked around. She noticed that not only Richards was not in the operating room, but also Pearl.

At the same time, everyone was handing out the food Richard bought. 

"Dr. Yonng, this is the cake and coffee that Mr. Zellweger is treating us to." Pearl was passing by when Nick handed her one. 

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. By the way, the director told us to have lunch first. Maybe they're going to hand out the lunchboxes soon. Should I bring one to your room?"   

"Alright, thank you."

Pearl stood in place and looked down at the small cake in her hand. She had complicated feelings.   

The transparent box was tied up with a beautiful bow with blue velvet silk. Inside was a red velvet cake decorated with red berries. It looked very appetizing.  

She liked sweets since childhood. Obviously, Bonny loved sweet food, which was inherited from her.

In the lounge, just as she sat down and opened the box, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in. The door is unlocked." She leaned her arm on the back of the chair. Then she saw Richard and froze. 

"Why are you here?"

"Disappointed?" Richard closed the door. "Who else did you think it was?"    

Pearl was stunned for a second and was speechless.

"Don't you want to say somthing?" Richard looked at her coldly.
