Chapter 338
“Put in more effort later. You can give a stronger performance. Bruce can handle it,” the director said and offered a smile to
Bruce.
When Bruce heard this, he could not even muster a smile. The glass of water almost choked him.
“Are you okay, Bruce? Do you think Alice’s performance wasn’t sufficient?” The director inquired with a hint of concern.
Bruce gave Alice a fierce glare. Not enough?
Her acting was more than enough!
As a man, if he were not in front of the camera, he would not have been able to keep himself under control.
“Mr. Swift, if you’re not feeling up to it, we can postpone filming for now,” Alice said with a smile.
Bruce gritted his teeth. “Who said I’m not up to it? I’m more than up to it! Just make sure you don’t mess up later!” Bruce made
some adjustments and began to continue filming.
Alice h ooked her arm around Bruce’s leg and grabbed his collar with one hand. His hand rested on Alice’s waist.
“Sir...” Alice barely began to speak when Bruce sensed something was amiss.
It was as though an indescribable pressure had descended from the heavens, intent on utterly crushing him.
He honestly did not know how to convey this sensation.
He clenched his teeth, then opened his mouth, attempting to utter his lines forcibly.
But that pressure became even more apparent, giving him a sensation like a blade on his back as if he could die at any moment.
“Sir...” Alice continued her lines.
However, Bruce rubbed his temples and looked helplessly at the director. “Um... Director, I’m sorry!”
It felt like a pair of eyes was always watching him from behind. This was breaking him down.
The director did not anticipate Bruce’s second NG (no good, a term used in filming when a take isn’t satisfactory), and he could
only smile and reassure him, “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s normal to have trouble in front of a stunning beauty. Let’s try it again.”
By the third attempt, Bruce could not even get close to Alice.
“Bruce, let’s try a different angle,” the director had to devise a solution.
However, changing angles only intensified the pressure on Bruce.
He was so tense that his whole body was rigid even when facing Alice.
The director said, “Bruce, do you have some difficulty? It’s okay if you do. Just let us know. We’re all here to help you out.”
Bruce had difficulty responding to that.
If he were to tell them that an intangible pressure was coming from William’s direction, making it impossible for him to get close
to Alice.
He was probably going to be ridiculed.
Next, Bruce did not provide a reason but continued to NG.
The director was becoming increasingly helpless, massaging his temples. Finally, he said, “Bruce, why d makeup room and take
a break for a while?”
In this state, he really could not have him continue filming. go to the
Bruce was indeed in distress. He gritted his teeth before Alice and exclaimed, “Who is that person William brought with him?
Look at those eyes. They’re turning me into stone!”
Alice smiled awkwardly and held her forehead, “I’m under quite a bit of pressure, too.”
Bruce gave a cold sneer, “How was it that I had overlooked your stress? Your performance is still very natural, you are a
seductive soul-devouring demon!”
Alice’s mouth twitched forcefully, “Alright, enough. Return to your dressing room and have your iced latte to adjust!”
What was the reason for her lack of pressure? Upon lifting her gaze, she encountered a shadowed countenance. She was
cautious not to push things too far, given that it might lead to discomfort for the other party. Such a situation would get everyone
involved uneasy.
“Adjust? Screw off! I really want to give it to you right now, to get revenge and settle the score!” Bruce was visibly angry.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the sinister breeze behind him becoming even more terrifying.
Ultimately, he turned around in irritation and headed towards the dressing room.
In reality, the director also understood that Daniel was pressuring Bruce.
He was genuinely surprised. Someone like Daniel visiting the set was quite extraordinary, and the fact that he was even exerting
pressure on others for Alice was astonishing.
He thought that, for Daniel, Alice held significant importance.
It was so critical that...
Suddenly, a thought flashed through the director’s mind, and immediately after, he was wide-eyed in shock.
Could it be? No way!
The rumor had it that Mr. Kaur was married. Could it be that his spouse was Alice?
With this speculation in mind, the director found himself sweating profusely. Seizing the moment before Daniel and the others
spoke, he approached Alice.
She cautiously said, “Alice, is it true that Mr. Kaur is here to see you? With him present, we won’t be able to continue filming this
advertisement.”
The next scene was the kissing scene.
If that influential figure were bothered, not to mention Bruce, the director would not dare to allow the scene to proceed too, 7
Alice sighed apologetically, her face filled with regret, “I’m sorry, Director. I’ve put you in a difficult spot.
“Oh, it’s not that difficult... If that person is concerned about you acting alongside other male actors, I can report to Mr. Broman
and remove Bruce from the scene. You being the sole focus isn’t an impossible solution!” the Director suggested.
He believed that given that person’s possessiveness, it would benefit everyone if Alice took the spotlight alone.
Alice shook her head, “There is no need. I’ll go talk to him about it.”
“Ah... Alright then, please go and talk to him. You’ll probably handle it better than we could,” the Director nodded.
Now, only Alice could handle that person on her own.
“Allie... Alice, why did you come over?” William almost slipped and called Alice in an endearing term.
Alice approached them, gritting her teeth and shooting a fierce glare at William, signaling him not to reveal her identity.
Then, he said to Alan Wright,
Then, she turned to Alan and said, “Um, Alan, there’s a prop I can’t get my hands on. Could you please ask this friend to help
me?”
Alan raised an eyebrow slightly, casting a suggestive glance at Daniel. He grinned and replied, “Of course, no problem. Hey, you,
help, my dear Alice.”
Subsequently, Alice walked ahead, with Daniel, the walking iceberg, trailing behind her.
The two of them entered the dressing room one after the other.
At this moment, there was no one in the dressing room.
Alice had just locked the door when she felt a tightening around her waist.
In the blink of an eye, she was enveloped in someone’s embrace and swiftly guided toward the sofa.
Before she could utter a word, her back met the sofa’s cu shion, and the other person immediately suppressed any words she
intended to say.
At that moment, when her breath was stolen away, a single thought occupied Alice’s somewhat bewildered mind.
This could not happen here, absolutely not!
She knew that Daniel was prone to jealousy, and she was aware of the drastic measures he could take when envious.
Although she had prepared herself to use her charms when he came over.
But this guy had already taken the lead before she could move, leaving her utterly helpless.
Moreover, she was dressed in the costume designated for the shoot, and he better not mess it up.
It seemed Daniel was dissatisfied with her distracted kiss, and he forcefully pinched her when her thoughts drifted. The ensuing
kiss became even more intense.
Alice sensed that this guy was etching himself into her very being.
“Uh... Daniel...” Alice attempted to push him away slightly, but he only became more aggressive.
He had even begun to unbutton her clothes.
Shivers ran down her spine, and Alice finally could not resist. She placed her hands against his shoulders with force...
