"That bastard Jack hurt you like this?" Nico's tone was full of grief and anger.
"Jack has known that you approached me to investigate him, and I know too much about him, so he gave me a small warning. Nick, take me away. Please, go wherever you want, as long as you take me out of here." She lifted her sad face and looked at him resentfully.
They suddenly leaned against each other tightly. Their heads were two magnets that attracted each other. Their red lips were glued together. Nico held her up and walked from the sofa to a queen-sized bed.
'What! That's my girl!' Kayden stood up grumpily, his eyes shining with a fierce light.
...
Everyone was shocked, and the director's heart was almost in his mouth.
Nico became even more absent-minded. He could neither focus on kissing Ellie nor be in character. Ellie, on the other hand, seemed to be in the right state. She took the initiative to kiss Nico on his lips and his sturdy chest. It looked as if Ellie was going to swallow him.
"Cut!" The director shouted when he found something wrong. He stepped forward and asked Nico, "What's wrong? It's been very smooth. Why did you suddenly hesitate?"
Nico, who was embarrassed to explain, could only apologize to him. The director then turned on the camera to reshoot.
However, when making out with Ellie for only one minute, Nico saw Kayden's horrible gaze coming through the crowd as if to kill him. His heart trembled. He felt he had done something wrong. He stopped all his movements and stared at Kayden in astonishment.
"Cut!" The director stopped the acting again.
"What's wrong with you?" Ellie also looked up at Nico. She thought, "I'm enjoying taking advantage of you. Why did you go wrong all the time? However, it's not a bad thing because the more times you go wrong, the more chances I can get to kiss you."
"I..." Nico thought, 'If I speak out the reason, my acting skills would be questioned. It's not easy for me to get the opportunity to act in a big-budget movie. I couldn't blow it up.' So, he didn't say anything.
The director didn't know what to do. He guessed that Nico was influenced by Kayden, so he called him over for a private conversation.
"I know you're under pressure. It's difficult for you to act well when stared at by Kayden, but remember that you're professional. How can a professional actor be affected by a small obstacle? Adjust yourself and we'll start over later."
Nico nodded in shame. He took a deep breath and decided to throw caution to the wind.
Ellie had her makeup refined and walked towards Nico, "Nico, are you affected by Kayden? Don't worry, he looks fierce, but actually, he is very nice."
Nico didn't say anything. He thought, 'Kayden is only being nice to you. I've heard of Kayden. He is the leader of the underground organization that kills people without blinking an eye. Now that I've kissed you, he would kill me cruelly.'
Right now, Nico wished that Ellie were not that important to Kayden so that he would not treat me brutally. However, if she were not important, why would Kayden come all the way to see you?'
Nico sighed, believing that his life would be miserable.
"Let's do it again." The director shouted and everyone returned to their posts.
Two minutes later, the director stopped the shooting again.
"Please clear the irrelevant people out of here." Nico couldn't bear Kayden's sharp gaze any longer, so he gathered up his courage to make such a request.
The director's heart shrank. He thought, "Nico, Kayden is our biggest sponsor. How dare you clear him out of here? Aren't you afraid that he would kill you?"
Nico was afraid, but being stared at by Kayden's gaze, let alone acting, he couldn't even read his lines.
Kayden sneered and extinguished the cigarette in his hand. "Ellie, do your best. I'll wait for you outside." After saying that, he left with the onlookers.
In an instant, all the staff in the room heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they could feel free to work again.
Nico also felt relieved and returned to his original state. However, he would never know that his nightmare had just begun.
...
After filming the three scenes, it was already evening.
The director suggested that everyone go back to the hotel to have a rest first and get ready for the party at night.
Ellie asked curiously, "Director, what party?"
"It's a cocktail party. Dress nicely." The director laughed.
Ellie rolled her eyes and thought, 'Dress nicely for the party? Would there be so many reporters?'
"Don't think too much. By the way, Mr. Kayden is still waiting for you outside. Just go." The director suddenly got nervous.
Being reminded by him, Ellie hastily ran out without even removing her makeup.
By the sea, the waves were rolling, and the rocks were as beautiful as scattered gemstones under the setting sun.
