Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2003
The three of them arrived at the studio together.
“Come with me, let’s get you all ready. You’ll have to change into a bikini…” the staff guided Joan to the changing room.
All of a sudden, Joan blushed at the sight of the bikini laid out for her.
“There’s no need to be shy. Relax, it’ll be over soon. Besides, nowadays people are more open to this kind of swimwear,” the staff prompted.
Soon, the three of them changed into their respective swimwear and began shooting.
“That’s it. Mr., please place your arm around your wife’s shoulder. Stand closer to each other. A little closer.”
“Good. Turn a little to your left. Mr., look at your wife lovingly. Yes, that’s good…”
At that time, Lucius was so engrossed as he posed happily in front of the camera. He was totally unaware of how uncomfortable Joan was.
“Okay. This is the last shot. Mister, please place both of your hands on your wife’s cheeks. Now, press your foreheads together…”
Both Joan and Dustin grew even more uncomfortable and embarrassed. After all, Joan was a married woman.
“Come on, don’t be shy. We are all open now in this day and age. Even married female celebrities are fine with kissing scenes.”
“Come, I’ll help you.” As he said that, one of the staff in front of him walked over to them.
With the staff’s guidance, both of them stood so close until they were nearly pressed together. Just then, not only Joan was embarrassed, but Dustin’s face was flushed as well.
“Okay. Let’s begin…”
Finally, after what seems like forever, they completed the shooting for the poster campaign. At that time, there was a trace of sadness in Joan’s eyes.
What will Larry think of this when he comes to know about it? Will he be jealous? Forget it. Why am I still thinking about him? We’re about to be divorced soon anyway. Joan shook her head and sighed.
“Oh, look! Your shots came out really well! You guys look like a happy family.” A woman came over and sang praises.
A family? We’re definitely not a family!
“We’re not a family,” Joan said politely.
In an instant, the eyes of the woman dimmed, and she quietly backed off.
It was better to stay quiet than to continue on the embarrassing topic.
