Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 182

The plot was easy to understand, but at first, Nell found it hard to deliver a real slap.

Nevertheless, Tim had high demands and simulated slaps were out of the questions. However, if the slap was too heavy, she might leave a mark on George’s face and that would affect the filming schedule of the upcoming scenes.

Thus, they were told to head to one side where the assistant director taught them how to deliver a blow that looked heavy but was actually very light.

Celine saw this sight and approached Tim. She smiled. “Is filming going smoothly, Director Coombs?”

Tim, who was sitting on a stool, lifted his head to regard her.

His expression was inscrutable and he responded with a flat “Mm”.

He did not really pay attention to the scandal, but after the whole incident blew up, he was aware of bits and pieces of it. After all, they belonged to the same circle.

As such, he did not have a good impression of Celine. Still, he was a professional person and did not wish to put her in a tight spot.

He decided to cast her as the second female lead this time because he genuinely believed that she fitted this character.

Tim had an eye for casting the right actors. It was an intrinsic ability of his and not everyone could see what he saw. He had a good eye and could pinpoint what he wanted.

Celine had no idea what he felt and assumed that the reason he cast her was due to her fame and immense popularity.

At the very least, it was his way of affirming her acting skills.

Therefore, despite Tim’s lack of warmth towards Celine, the latter still ordered Kylie to get her a stool and she sat down beside him.

“It’s quite regrettable, I must say. Sis and I are biological sisters, but we hardly talked to each other for the past few years. As a result, I didn’t even know that she wanted to enter show business.”

She sighed as she spoke, displaying an expression of helplessness.

“Still, I’ve always believed that no matter which path you take, you must walk with your head up high and prove yourself with your capabilities. I never expected Sis to be so impulsive. I have already agreed to help her, yet she used such a method to create buzz for herself.”

Tim frowned. The more she spoke, the harder it was to comprehend her meaning.

However, he could not care less about deciphering her words. At the film set, all he thought about was his film and he ignored everything else.

Despite Celine’s eager gaze, he stood up and loudly called the assistant director, Nell and George who were still in the midst of a discussion, “Are you all done yet? If yes, let’s do it again!”

The assistant director answered, “Yes.”

“Let’s go! Back to your positions.”

At once, Nell and George returned to their original positions. At the call of “Action!”, a tight slap landed on George’s face.

George’s head swayed to one side as he got slapped. He looked at Nell in disbelief.

“You dare to hit the emperor? Do you know who I am?”

Nell put her hands on her hips and roared, “Who cares! I don’t care whether you are the Son of Heaven! You can’t simply mock… Ah!”

Instead of waiting for her to finish speaking, George grabbed her arm and twisted it around her back. Naturally, Nell refused to surrender so easily and stomped on George’s foot. He yelped in pain and loosened his grip, so she turned around. However, both of them were standing on a slope. At last, this scuffle caused them to grab each other and tumble down the slope.

Tim kept staring at the screen. Once the scene was complete, he said, “Good, that’s how it should be done! Cut!”

After that, Nell and George got up and heaved sighs of relief.

Celine, who was seated aside, noticed how Tim completely ignored her. She bit her lip as she felt a hot flush of embarrassment on her face.

She assumed that Tim Coombs was just a newbie director. She might not be as famous as an A-lister, but in showbiz, she was a popular celebrity who was above the B-list.

Although her reputation was not as good as in the past, she still had commercial value. Any director would have obliged and given her face.

Why would he give her the cold shoulder?

Celine was fuming with rage, but she could not lose her temper because she was on set.
