chapter 1457
Charmine brought Alexander, William, and Eric to the shooting venue.
Strangely enough, Anthony was there.
She sat on her seat and looked at the script, though the suspicion still plagued her. Why was he present?
Sure, this ad was related to one of his companies, but he did not have to linger around.
If he had to care about small matters like this, he would not be able to finish his work even with 48 hours in a day, what with all the companies he had.
Nonetheless, it was good that he came. She wanted him to see that she could live just as fine without him, or even better!
Charmine put down the script and waved at Alexander.
Alexander walked toward her and blustered, "What is it, my darling?"
Nobody knew if he was intentional or not with that, but he spoke so loudly that even Anthony, who was sitting by the side, heard him.
Charmine looked at him, displeased. "Can you speak softer? Do you want the entire world to hear you?" "Oh," Alexander lowered his head to get closer to her, asking in a seductively low voice, "What is my darling craving right now?” "Get me coffee," deadpanned Charmine.
"Me?" Alexander’s charming face had a hint of displeasure. 1
Charmine looked at him. "Why? You're my assistant, no?”
Alexander raised his eyebrows. "Fine, boss. I’ll get you one right away."
He stood upright and said louder, "Your coffee is the same as usual, isn’t it, my dear? Less sugar and ice, right?”
Charmine looked at him, mystified. "Shut up and go!" "Okay..." said Alexander flirtatiously. "I surely won't mind buying my darling a coffee. Don't worry about me." 1
Charmine was speechless.
Nial stood next to Anthony all this while. He then frowned and daringly asked, "Bro, do you think Charmine has gotten back with Alexander?"
Anthony was already glowering at that point, but Nial's question merely added the intensity to his anger as he glared at him darkly, eyes flaring fiercely, hauntingly.
Nial felt shivers all over him with that intense glare, and he instantly shut up. 1
After a moment of silence, he abruptly recalled the script he wrote and said, "Bro, the male and female actors in this advertisement will have to kiss. Are you okay with that? Not only that, but this ad will be used globally! You didn't even allow Charmine to look at another man, and now you're okay with her kissing another man?"
Anthony's gaze wavered with emotions swirling in his eyes, but he coldly remarked, "Isn't it normal for actors to kiss?”
That jolted Nial as he looked at Anthony with surprise. "Bro, what happened to you? Are you sure you can take it? It’s kissing-mouth-to- mouth! Right next to one another, and they even-" 1
Anthony glared at him coldly. 'Til give you three seconds. Disappear, now." i
With that said, Nial zipped away like the wind, instantly vanishing.
He dared not offend Anthony.
Anthony narrowed his eyes at Charmine, and he looked upset.
Meanwhile, Charmine was ready, having changed her clothes, and came to the shooting spot with the male actor.
Standing at the sidelines, William’s brows furrowed.
He did not want Charmine to take on an advertisement like this. Although this was normal, the thought of her kissing the male actor upset him. 2
Regardless, he could not stop her. He could only stand by the side anxiously.
The advertisement would start with the male actor biting the chocolate with his arm around Charmine's waist. He would gaze at her romantically while she bit onto the other end. When they ate the chocolate, they would end up kissing one another as the man would say, "The chocolate is soft like your lips. Tender and delicious-a novel experience."
When the two of them were ready, the director gave them the signal to roll, sitting on his designated seat and ordering through the talkie, "Action!"
Silence.
The camera pointed at them.
All of a sudden...
The moment the male actor took the chocolate and Charmine was about to bite the other end, the manager of the advertisement ran over urgently and whispered to the director’s ear.NôvelDrama.Org content.
