What he said made Nico wary. Did this reporter also take a fancy to Ellie? However, no matter what his purpose was, Nico was now determined to have her. No one could ruin his plan.
Saniyah, who was being ignored by the side, was very, very unhappy at this moment. These two handsome men never looked at her since they got in the car. They were always looking at Ellie and talking about her. Ellie was no equal to her in terms of beauty. Why did they only look at her? Saniyah was nearly going crazy out of jealousy.
Ellie did not notice the undercurrents between the three of them. She was attracted by the scenery along the way.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. It seems like we've in Utopia." On one side of the road was the sea, while on the other were the mountains. There were fishing boats everywhere on the sea. From afar, it looked like an intoxicating oil painting.
Nico approached her and spoke with his appealing voice, "Darling, if you like, we can walk around this area after the filming."
"Darling?!" Saniyah was shocked. Since when did they become so close? This was a nickname between lovers. Nico had always been very lofty and didn't quite make contact with others. Even she, who had worked with him many times, was only called by a nickname of Sani.
What kind of charm did this Ellie have to make the arrogant Nico fall for her!
Eddie was also shocked. Could the rumors outside be true? Were they really in love?
Nico and Ellie, however, seemed to ignore them, chatting and laughing with delight.
When the minibus stopped, the director immediately instructed the staff to move the machines and erect them. The makeup artists began to put on makeup for the actors, and the costume stylists were getting busy settling clothes for the actors.
The actors looked glamorous from outside while they had to suffer much more than an ordinary person would do. Shooting winter scenes in summer and wearing short sleeves in winter was the easy part. The most unbearable thing was reversing day and night. The internal clock was completely out of order. If they kept working like this for a long time, their faces would be pale, their dark circles thick, and their skin darkened. Moreover, these problems were hard to improve. No matter how much money they earned, they could never make up for the lost sleep time.
Ellie was shocked by how Saniyah looked after she put off her makeup. She looked terrifying. The black circles under her eyes were so thick as if she were smoked. And her coarse pores looked terrible! The most terrifying thing was the freckles. Normally, she couldn't see them through the thick makeup. She didn't expect that her plain face would be so terrifying.
She sighed implicitly and touched her face. Her skin was fair and smooth, just like a boiled egg peeled off the shell. She rejoiced that she was still young and took good care of her skin. She would rather die than be like Saniyah since she cared about her look so much.
At this time, Nico's manager, Vincent, walked towards Ellie. "The next scene will be the one where Nico drives a sports car on the mountain road. Did you know that?"
"I knew that. He told me about the filming today on our way. He will be hunted down by underground organizations because he offended them. It is said to be very exciting." Ellie blinked her eyes, wondering why he asked this.
Vincent nodded and looked at her with a warning. "The process will be very dangerous later. You may watch it, but don't make any noise, in case you may affect the sound gathering procedure." He warned her not to affect Nico later on.
Ellie rolled her eyes at him. That was no need since she knew well of what he just said. Besides, she was also going to get in the car. Originally, she didn't need to, but then Nico told the director to add this scene where the male lead and the female lead drove to run away from the underground organization. What a loving scene. Just thinking about it would be exciting.
"Well then. If you affect Nico's performance, the director will get mad." Vincent said angrily.
Well, our big director wouldn't get mad at me. You were the most arrogant one. Ellie waved her hand irritably, "Got it. I'm going to change clothes. Be good by yourself."
Ellie ran over to Nico who was rehearsing with the actors in the play, ignoring the surprised gazes of others.
Nico asked the other actors to rehearse first and took her to the side, "Baby, what's up?"
"Nico, I'm so nervous. I heard that we're going to shoot a car chase later. The director said that the mountain road is not easy to drive on. Do you think it will be dangerous?"
"No, the special effects team will take precautions. Moreover, with me here, I will definitely protect you." He patted her shoulder and whispered, "If there's no one else here, I'll hug you, baby, you're so cute."
Ellie was a little embarrassed. This iceman turned so enthusiastic all of a sudden that she could barely get used to it. However, she did enjoy being called "baby" since he looked and sounded so attractive.
The director was telling the actors to get ready. Ellie realized that she hadn't changed her clothes yet. She hurriedly said, "Nico, I'll go change clothes first. See you later."
Nico pinched her face and said gently, "Baby, you little dummy. Hurry up and go. I'll wait for you."
Ellie had an indescribable feeling. She was a little disappointed and a little disgusted. So it turned out that Nico was nothing more than that.
She liked him when there was a distance between them. Only by chasing after him would she feel a sense of accomplishment. Now that he had come to her, it didn't feel so good.
