“Cut!”
Robert walked to his front with excitement, “Mr. Cohen, this time looks perfect. I didn’t expect a new start like you will be able to finish this part so perfectly! Have you ever thought about engaging in the movie industry?”
Every superstar started from being a walk-on. But Leo’s performance truly impressed Robert. If Leo simply nodded to agree, Robert would definitely spare no endeavor to fit him into every important role.
But Leo shook his head to refuse, “Sorry, I have a family to take care of.”
“What a pity!” Robert sighed.
As he was convinced by Michelle, he dropped his bias and ego so as to get closer to Leo.
It was then that Robert found him an easy-going man.
Michelle cast a curious glimpse at Leo. She knew her tips really worked. But no one knew who was exactly the beloved one in his mind.
“Leo…”
Lydia suddenly spoke. She then continued, looking composed, “You were really into the role just now.”
“Thank you.” Leo smiled and nodded.
After a short silence, Lydia suddenly raised up her head, “Who were you picturing in your mind just now?”
A subtle changed showed on his face. He then smiled at her, “It could only be you.”
But Lydia still remained an impassive face, unspoken.
During the filming a moment ago, Lydia had been bothered by a strange feeling—she actually cared much about the answer to her seemingly meaningless question.
“Really?”
She asked again after short hesitation.
“Who else could it be except for you?” Leo still kept the smile on his face. But it looked a bit more awkward.
Lydia simply gazed at him, unspoken.
Then, Robert beckoned everyone around to watch the clip they just filmed. So both Leo and Lydia walked over.
In the clip, Leo, dressing in white vintage costume, looked deadly charming while standing straight with his statuesque tall figure. He fixed his eyes on Lydia as if they could talk, in which there shown affection but entangling with mixed feelings.
In an office suit, Lydia looked brilliant with her hair tied high on her head.
The scene featured itself by the impressive picture that a vintage-handsome-looking guy traveled through time and space to meet his love, a modern dressing appealing lady.
“Thank you! I truly appreciate everyone’s hard work today!”
Robert felt so pleased with what they had finished. He smiled to the crew, “Pack everything up. And let’s go for a feast to celebrate! My treat!”
Then there came the cheer from the whole crew.
Lydia took a look at Leo, “I gotta go with Emilia. Just join them for the feast.”
Leo felt like his heart skipped a beat. He seemed to feel that Lydia might have noticed something.
Robert paused, looking a bit confused, “Mr. Cohen, so Miss Henderson is…”
“He’s my husband.” Lydia replied with an impassive face.
Hearing that, Robert suddenly slumped onto the ground with his eyes wide open while staring at Leo with great disbelief.
He couldn’t believe they were actually couple!
Robert couldn’t help shedding sweat out of panic as he recalled his posturing attitude toward Leo just now. He was so close to the edge of doom.
Leo was about to agree when facing Robert’s passion to ask him for dinner. But his phone suddenly started to ring. It was a call from Caroline.
Leo picked it up, “What’s the matter?”
After seconds of silence, Caroline asked, “Do you have time?”
Leo took a look at the crew busy around, “Not sure…”
Before Leo could finish, Caroline added, “I will have my wedding next week.”
Leo seemed to be frozen with his mouth half open. Something subtle appeared on his face.
“I will wait for you in the Ford’s residence.”
