Chapter 113: Chapter 111: You Can’t Do This For Real

The mood on set had become exceptionally harmonious and celebratory thanks to the day’s trending topic. Even the assistant director, who often lost his temper while running lines with the actors, was much more friendly.

After all, the topic had started trending completely unexpectedly, pushed onto the charts by organic fan buzz alone.

They hadn’t lifted a finger or spent a single cent, yet it had earned the production a ton of buzz.

After they finished filming one of the afternoon scenes, Lily Sterling didn’t head back to her dressing room since the next scene was about to start. Instead, she waited on the sidelines with Yuna.

The assistant director walked over with a box of cut, chilled watermelon. "Lily, come have some watermelon to cool down. It’s been a long day for you. You’re in all six scenes this afternoon."

Ever since Lily Sterling had joined the cast and performed in a couple of scenes, the assistant director had taken a liking to the sweet-natured, talented young woman. As a result, his voice would unconsciously soften whenever he spoke to her, which was quite amusing.

Yuna couldn’t help but stifle a laugh every time she saw him. One moment he’d be yelling at someone, and the next he’d turn to Lily with a complete change of expression.

Lily Sterling hurriedly took the box with both hands. After a quick "thank you," she lowered her voice and asked, "Director Lawson, I thought there were three scenes I wasn’t in? Why was I suddenly given new script pages?"

And it wasn’t just new pages; they were filled with dense blocks of dialogue.

The assistant director gave a knowing smile and leaned in closer. "The director and the screenwriter both love you, so they added more scenes for you. Just focus on giving a good performance. By the time we wrap, your character might have as much screen time as the second female lead."

"What? Isn’t that... inappropriate?" Lily Sterling said, a little alarmed.

The assistant director patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Don’t you worry. The director and screenwriter carefully planned out every scene they added for you. They made sure the additions are logical and help the plot flow more smoothly. It won’t feel out of place to the audience."

"Besides, the audience loves watching you, and they love the CP between you and Andrew. So, we’ve extended your romantic storyline. That way, the eventual BE will be even more painful!"

’More painful...’

’Is this how they torture the fans?’

Lily Sterling nodded with a wry smile and decided not to dwell on it.

After the assistant director left, Andrew Sutton suddenly approached her.

Yuna instinctively took a half-step forward, her expression wary. She now felt that any involvement with Andrew Sutton was a danger to Lily.

Andrew Sutton looked a little awkward. He was actually quite introverted, but he felt he had to apologize to Lily Sterling in person.

Lily Sterling could tell he had something to say, so she watched him, waiting for him to speak.

Andrew Sutton’s lips moved, but it was a long moment before he finally said in a low voice, "I’m really sorry about what happened today."

"It’s okay. It was an accident, and it wasn’t something you could control," Lily Sterling said.

Andrew Sutton was filled with self-reproach. ’If I hadn’t blocked that thermos,’ he thought, ’the consequences could have been severe.’

"You didn’t get hurt, did you?" Andrew Sutton asked, his eyes filled with concern.

Lily Sterling offered him a reassuring smile and shook her head. "No, you don’t have to worry."

Only then did Andrew Sutton relax a little.

But as soon as he relaxed, a dream from the previous night flashed through his mind without warning. His cheeks instantly grew hot, and he lowered his head like a thief with a guilty conscience.

"The second scene starts in ten minutes! Actors, come over for blocking!"

The floor manager’s voice suddenly boomed, causing both Lily Sterling and Andrew Sutton to look up.

"We’re about to start. Don’t worry about what happened today, I’m really fine." Lily Sterling looked at Andrew Sutton, reassuring him one more time, afraid he would waste his energy worrying about it.

Just as Lily Sterling was about to turn and head to blocking, Andrew Sutton hurriedly called out, "Lily Sterling..."
