“Sir.”
Luke looked at him coldly, “I respect your will to see the actors practicing, but please don't disturb our work.”
He did not know why, but he could feel hostility coming from this cold and arrogant man.
It was the kind of hostility that one could not ignore.
“Is that so?”
Ralph raised his eyes to look at him. The pair of obsidian-like eyes carried a sense of oppression that made people gasp for breath.
“Yes!”
Luke frowned fiercely and looked in his eyes, “You can't disturb our work.”
Practice between the actors could be done during filming. However, Luke deliberately wanted to do it in the conference room. The intention was to take advantage of Lottie to earn fame.
Now there was a person between them, so how could he let someone take intimate photos of them?
“We don’t need to be so close when practicing.”
Lottie talked and interrupted Luke, “It is fine.”
She scanned Ralph and then looked at Luke, “We're just practicing. It's not the really acting, so it doesn't matter if we're a little far away.”
“You are right!”
The director wiped away the cold sweats on his forehead and hurriedly followed what Lottie had said to maintain the peaceful situation, “Let this gentleman sit between you two. This will help all of us in feeling the atmosphere of filming. This is quite a good idea!”
After saying that, he gave a wink towards Ralph.
Although Luke was not happy, he could not say anything else. He silently took out his phone and sent a message to Isobel.
“Tell the journalists we have invited. They will not be able to take intimate photos of her and me anymore.”
Soon after, Isobel sent back a message, “What's going on?”
“The journalists have even written the press release of it. Why can’t they take photos anymore?”
“A big shot comes and messes up our plan.”
“Damn it!”
Isobel put the phone down after replying to that.
“What's wrong?”
In the cafe, the woman sitting across from her was stirring her coffee elegantly. Her voice was soft.
“Claudia, we are not able to take intimate photos of Lottie and Luke today.”
Isobel sighed, “Luke said someone came and messed up our plan.”
“Take your time.”
Claudia was still stirring the coffee cup elegantly, “As long as Lottie and Luke have interactions with each other, we will get the photos sooner or later.”
She would like to see whether Ralph could accept Lottie who kept getting entangled with her ex-boyfriend.
At that moment, Ralph was still sitting in the middle of Lottie and Luke, holding the script handed over by the director in his hand.
“I don’t like this female role. It is so illogical and foolish.”
After reading the script, Ralph made a summary of it.
The director was speechless.
He took a deep breath and looked at Ralph with a smile on his face, “Then what you meant is...”
Ralph slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Sean, who had been standing quietly on the sidelines.
Sean let out a soft cough and took the director outside.
In an instant, only Lottie, Luke, and the cold and arrogant Ralph, who was sitting between them, were left in the conference room.
Luke, with his arms around his chest, leaned proudly on his chair and sneered, “So, do you want to change the script?”
“You know what, this film has been given an investment of two hundred million dollars. Never think about changing the script with a little money.”
Ralph lowered his eyes, reading the script elegantly while ignoring him.
Ralph's attitude of not taking to him seriously at all completely angered Luke.
He gritted his teeth and glared viciously at Ralph, “I know what you're thinking about.”
“Do you really think that if you stand in between me and this actress and stop me from having any interactions with her, then she'll have a good feeling on you?”
“Or do you think that if you just invest a few million to the crew, you'll be able to change the script and sleep with the actress?”
“You know what, she's actually married. Her husband is someone you dare not to mess with!”
Ralph’s fingers were flipping through the script while giving it a slight slap.
Ralph turned his head slowly and looked at him, “Then dare you?”
