Jacob looked down and scanned the card, smiling unnaturally, “Liam, could I refuse it?”
He was willing to stay somewhere else instead of the bar, and to behave reservedly to girls.
“Absolutely no.” Liam narrowed his eyes of coldness and seriousness.
Although Jacob just received a glance from him, Liam was apparently autocratic and aggressive.
Jacob felt the threat and took the card immediately as well as subconsciously, “Well. I should not refuse it. It’s my pleasure to have someone pay my bill.”
“Don’t worry. I will try my best to help you retain Oliver. Trust me.”
Looking at his reaction, Liam became more peaceful, “Now don’t waste time. Do it!”
“OK.”
Jacob gave him a bright smile closed the door and waving hands, seeing him off.
When he turned back, Jacob with the card grimaced instantly.
How could Oliver not appear in the W. University?
Oliver was a man with a healthy body, whose actions were not under his control.
This task was so hard that Jacob still didn’t know how to complete it.
But he dared not say no to Liam, who might kill him otherwise.
Although the task was quite difficult, he had better obey his brother to save his own life.
He signed heavily and put the card into his pocket to carry out his plan.
In the university, the class began and the professor was calling the roll.
All the students were there, except Oliver.
“Oliver?”
Nobody answered.
“Is Oliver not here?” the professor repeated on the platform.
Hearing this, students were making a fuss, searching for Oliver who turned out to be absent.
Meanwhile, Rita glanced at his position, frowning.
Why didn’t he show up today?
Did he forget the appointment?
Complaining, she sent his a message by the phone, “The professor is checking our attendance. Why are you late?”
As soon as she sent it, she received a reply immediately.
“Here’s a traffic jam. I will be there in a couple of minutes. I won’t forget to kiss you.”
Looking at the phone, Rita was speechless.
It seemed that he couldn’t get out of the habit of flirting with girls.
Besides, he was so naïve.
Kiss me?
Rita smiled meaningfully, and then raised her head to focus on what the professor was saying.
However, Oliver failed to appear when the class was over.
Rita had no choice but to meet the director alone with the books, preparing the makeup and remembering the lines.
An hour later, “Rita, my assistant was unable to connect with Oliver. I heard that you two were classmates so could you please call him for me? ”
When reciting the lines, Rita heard the director beg her anxiously..
“OK.” She took out her phone to ring up Oliver, whose phone was off surprisingly.
Rita frowned unconsciously.
He told her the traffic jam but now he even turned off his phone.
“Does he still keep his phone off?” Noticing her expression, the director asked her.
Rita bit her lips and looked up with guilty, “I am sorry. He might get him into some troubles. Can we wait for him for a few minutes?”
“It’s already 4 p.m. and I am afraid that we fail to film after the sunset.” The director glanced at his watch, signing, “It seems that all our efforts today are in vain.”
Rita was so sorry that she tried to ring him up again.
But what she heard from the phone was the same as the last time.
“Where’s the make-up girl? Hurry up. Mr. Wilson is waiting.” The director happily called the staffs, and then explained the play thoroughly to Liam with the script.
“Mr. Wilson, when I say action, you need to walk to Rita and then the camera will focus on the position of your shoes. Rita will stand by her tiptoes for a few seconds hinting the kiss. And the filming is over.”
“That’s it?” Liam paused, and looked at the director, “Where’s the kiss?”
“Yes.” Questioned by the man, the director was totally confused, “You don’t have to kiss.”
Liam was embarrassed and looked at somewhere else, “A creative idea.”
Comprehending his evaluation, the director smiled bitterly.
Did he mean that the plot was not good enough?
But the script sent by Rita wrote that the when two people’s faces were close to kiss, the camera would turn to another side, and the kiss would not be a real one.
Because he didn’t know his thoughts, the director asked at once, “Mr. Wilson, if you have any advice, please tell me and we can add more plots to it.”
Hearing this, Liam looked at the director who was not good-looking enough gladly.
He examined the script slowly, and said, “It’s too false.”
The director felt uncertain.
What did he mean?
“Mr. Wilson, please give me more details.” The director failed to figure out his meaning and had to ask him again, smiling.
“The kiss is just too false.”
Hearing this, he was confused again.
And then he seemed to understand and smiled gaily at once, “Yes, you are right. It’s too false. We need an adjustment. When you walk to Rita, please kiss her directly and my camera will focus on your back to show the whole kiss.”
Hearing this, Liam gave him an satisfied expression instead of a poker face. A pretty smile appeared on his face.
Looking at his smile, the director signed secretly.
He succeeded in guessing out his meaning.
In order to please him, the kiss must be included.
The kiss would not be over if Liam wanted to kiss her longer.
