I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 292

Quentin scoffed coldly, showing no mercy in front of the models. "Is he the director, or am I? They're supposed to be a couple. How can they not be intimate? Does he want them standing fifteen feet apart like idiots?"

"He finds it difficult to accept? Tell him not to be so damn possessive over his models!"

"And another thing." Quentin snatched the script and aggressively pointed at the section Jorrod had taken issue with. "What kiss scene? It's just their lips touching for a final visual tableau. It's not one of those open-mouthed, head-thrashing make-out sessions you see on TV!"

"What do you think?" Sienna turned to Nathaniel. "You've just debuted and your fanbase is fiercely obsessed with you. If you film something like this right now, won't it hurt your career?"

Nathaniel remained completely unbothered. A calm "It doesn't matter, I trust the director," instantly choked off the rest of Sienna's persuasion.

The shoot hit a total deadlock.

One side refused to follow the original script, while the other side insisted not a single frame would be altered—unless they fired him, too.

Just as Sienna was contemplating backing out of the shoot entirely and telling them to find someone else...
