Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235

On the second day, Elspeth joined the crew.

Her visit surprised Aiden. “Miss Lynwood, are you here for the shooting?”

He had watched the video of Elspeth outperforming Emma last time. Based on his professional opinion, Elspeth did an excellent job and indeed lived up to the title of Payton Schwartz’s student. Her appearance and acting skills would make her a top celebrity within three years if she tried.

To his surprise, such a talented woman offered to play a supporting role.

“That’s right. There’s a shortage of actresses, isn’t it? For the sake of fairness, I’ll demonstrate my acting skills first. You can decide whether I pass or fail.”

“Of course. I’d be honored.”

Aiden was sweating profusely at this point.

He heard that Elspeth rejected the female lead role when another crew offered it to her. As such, Aiden wondered if he had done anything special to have her volunteer to play a supporting role in his film.

The scene Elspeth auditioned for was when her character found that the female lead was unconscious, so she carried the other woman on her back and sent the female lead to the hospital.

Sizing the skinny Elspeth up and down, Aiden hesitated and suggested, “If you have trouble carrying her, we can modify the scene to which you carry her by putting her arm around your shoulder.”

She glanced at Yelena, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious.

“What’s so hard about carrying a woman as slim as her?”

Aiden swallowed nervously. “Recently, Yelena has gained 22 pounds to prepare for her role. Now, she weighs around 115 pounds. The other actors gave it a try, but only Blake managed to carry her. The rest failed.”

“That’s lame. Can the rest even count as men?”

Callum smiled, agreeing with her, “You’re right.”

One of the actors stepped out to confront Elspeth when he heard such comments. “How dare you say that? Yelena is the one to blame for gaining weight, which was why we couldn’t carry her. It’s impossible to carry a girl as heavy as her!”

Something flashed through Yelena’s eyes when she heard that. Even though she was hurt, she forced a smile.

After all, she could still lose weight if she wanted. For now, she only gained weight to meet the character’s profile. She kept telling herself that the harsh comments weren’t bothering her.

Elspeth scoffed at that. “Loser.”

“What did you just say?” The young man’s eyes widened at the insult.

She only rolled her eyes, not bothering to answer him.

“Mr. Aiden, shall we begin?”

“Uh…” With a slightly embarrassed smile, the director answered, “Let’s begin.”

Elspeth took a deep breath as she prepared to start.

The next second, she rushed over to Yelena’s side. Her usual nonchalant expression was replaced by anxiety as she looked at the unconscious woman.

“Tess, are you all right?”

However, the woman had her eyes shut tightly and her forehead was bleeding the entire time. Thus, Elspeth stretched out her arms and carried the woman without hesitation.

She bent down and lifted the woman with a clean and quick move, making it look effortless.

She carried Yelena in her arms, which was a lot harder than carrying the woman on her back.

The onlookers widened their eyes in surprise. The young man who clashed with Elspeth a while ago was now flushing red, desperate to flee the scene.

Both Elspeth’s emotions and lines met Aiden’s standard. Furthermore, she finished the scene in one take, so he yelled ‘cut’ in satisfaction.

After that, Elspeth walked over to the young actor. Fixing her gaze on his face, she raised her brows. “I’ll have you know that I already got my first gold medal in kickboxing when you were still learning the alphabet in kindergarten. You should work out more often during your free time. Your abilities are really embarrassing.”

The younger man flushed redder when he heard that. Indeed, he had no idea about what happened in the world of kickboxing. However, he was surprised nonetheless to learn the petite woman in front of him was a champion in the sport.

Even a woman like her could carry Yelena with ease, but he couldn’t do it.

The fact that she was stronger was a blow to his ego.

Noticing the surprised looks on the crowd’s faces, Elspeth tilted her head in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
