Chapter 301: I Miss You
"Are you sure? Do you want to rest for two minutes?" Carter asked, a little worried about her.
"No, it's fine,"Wendy replied with a smile.
"Alright then."
The shooting went on as usual.
In the camera, the emperor slowly leaned over, lowered his head, and kissed Lady Faye's lips passionately.
However, she dodged.
As a result, the kiss fell on her neck.He drew a deep breath on her neck and said, "Faye, you smell so good..."
Many actors refused to do kissing scenes, and directors would use specific angles so that they looked like they were kissing.
However, Carter didn't like it and insisted the actors do kissing scenes.
Fortunately, Mason was an excellent actor.Even though Wendy had made so many bloopers a while ago, he did not complain
and remained professional.He would get in the zone once the camera started rolling.
What was more, he never let his personal feelings get in the way of the shooting.
In the scene, Faye and the emperor were kissing each other affectionately.
it was breathtaking.
Slowly, the camera zoomed in on Faye's hands that were clenched into fists.
They were tightly clenched that blue veins bulged on the back of her hands.It was apparent that she was struggling to endure the
scene.
At that moment, the camera cut into a panorama.
Faye raised her hand and grabbed onto the gauze curtain, which fell and blocked others’ prying eyes.
In the camera, the two figures were partly hidden and partly visible under the gauze.
As the audience could not clearly see what was happening, the scene was left to their imagination.
This made it more steamy and sensual.
"Cut! Good job!" Carter remarked with a satisfied look on his face.
‘Finally! Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.The dreadful scene was finally over.She wiped the sweat off her forehead.
For some reason, she felt as though she had just run for her dear life.
She glanced in Ryan's direction and saw that he was looking at her with a piercing gaze.
Even from afar, she could feel his icy cold eyes.
Wendy could not help but grit her teeth.
"Wendy, you should rest now," Carter advised.
"Great.Thank you."
Five minutes later, while Wendy was slumped on the chair in the dressing room with her eyes closed, she sensed someone
standing in front of her.
Just as she was about to open her eyes, a man grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a tight embrace.
Before she could even react, a passionate kiss fell on her lips.
"Mmmph!" Wendy was frightened.
She tried with all her strength to resist, but Ryan held her so tightly that she could not break free.
In a word, his kiss was as fierce as a storm.
Ryan only let go of her when she was about to run out of breath.
When their kiss finally broke, they gasped for air with their foreheads touching each other.
Wendy was catching for breath.
Her knees buckled, and her brain went blank due to the lack of oxygen.
‘Shit.If he didn't let go of me, I'd be the first person in history to get knocked out by a kiss" Ryan was no better than her.
He was panting as well.
Fortunately, he still had the energy to hold her weak body upright.
Wendy happened to see herself in the dressing mirror.
To her surprise, her eyes were somewhat blurry, and her face was beet red.
She was shocked what she saw herself.
‘ls the woman in the mirror with a flushing face and watery eyes really me? Wait a minute.That's the dressing mirror.Oh shit! He
kissed me in the dressing room! Wendy shuddered at this realization, and she pushed Ryan away at once.
"You're crazy! How could you do that to me?"
She could see from the mirror that her lips were red and swollen.She gasped in panic and covered her mouth with her hand.
"What should I do? I have a shooting later.What if someone notices my lips?I haven't settled accounts with you yet, Ryan.Why
did you come here? What the hell?! You did this on purpose, didn't you? Because of you, I've made so many bloopers today!"
She glared at Ryan.
"You should've been professional!" Ryan fired back.
He was breathing heavily, and it seemed that he was trying his best to hold back his anger.
"Are you saying I wasn't professional? Screw you! How could I maintain my composure when you were staring daggers at me?
Aren't you aware of how frightening you are?" Ryan's face darkened with displeasure.
"How bold of you to be angry at me?" Wendy scoffed.
All of a sudden, Ryan took several wet tissues from the dressing table.
Then, he grabbed Wendy's hand and wiped her neck with the tissues vigorously.
Wendy's face turned dark and gloomy.
"Do you think I'm dirty?" Ryan did not answer and just continued wiping her neck.
"Ouch!" Wendy exclaimed.
But as she realized what she had just done, she covered her mouth and looked at the door in a panic.
"What the hell do you want?"
"I'm wiping his trace away."
"Mason isn't a woman.He didn't put on lipstick earlier.There's nothing to wipe away!"
At the mention of Mason, Ryan's face became gloomier.
"Don't mention him!" Ryan was a man.
Just like any other man, it irked him to see his beloved woman under another man's body.
To make things worse, he could not do anything about it.
Even if she was only acting, he could not stand it.
Unfortunately for him, there was nothing else he could do but endure it.
"Wendy Finch!" he called in a cold and serious voice.
"What?"
"I'm angry.I feel like you cheated on me.”
"What?"
Wendy burst into laughter.She did not expect that that was the reason why he was being dramatic.
Ryan wiped her neck even harder, which made her wince and scream in pain.
"Ow! I'm sorry.I shouldn't have laughed.I just couldn't help it.Please let go of me now.I feel like you're going to scratch the skin on
my neck!"
Ryan lowered his head and looked at her neck.
Sure enough, it was red.He frowned in dissatisfaction, but he did not let go of her.
Instead, he buried his head in the crook of her neck and drew a deep breath.
"What are you doing?"
Startled, Wendy pushed him away.
"Don't move!"
Ryan stayed in that position for a while until he was satisfied.
"It's okay now."
With that, he threw the wet tissues into the trash can casually.
‘Did he just check if Mason's scent was still on me?’ Wendy was speechless at the thought of this.
‘What a crazy man! She pushed him yet again in anger.They had been quarreling for quite a while now.Wendy could not help but
cast a nervous glance at the door of the dressing room, worried that someone might come in.
"Luke is outside.He'll let us know if someone's coming." Wendy glared at him in response.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
She had been restless for a while.
He should have told her that sooner.
"You didn't ask," Ryan retorted.
'So it's my fault now?’
At that moment, Wendy dragged a chair and sat down.Her legs were still weak and trembling because of the kiss.
"Why are you here?" she asked in an annoyed tone.
"I miss you."
"Stop saying nonsense!"
"I'm not.I really do miss you," Ryan replied with a straight face.
Even though he meant those sweet words, it seemed as though he was forced to say them.
Wendy did not know how to answer that.
"Wendy..." Ryan called.
"What?"
"Can you promise me not to accept films or dramas with bed scenes in the future?" he asked.
A look of dissatisfaction appeared on Wendy's face.
"Is this your request to me if we are to be together?"
"Let's just say that I'm entreating you." Wendy was dumbfounded.
‘Entreating? How could he use such a humble word? She had mixed feelings.
"If it weren't for this profession, Ray and I would've starved to death.Acting isn't only my profession but also my pursuit.I like
being an actress.I love acting more than anything else in the world.Intimate scenes in dramas are unavoidable." Ryan
understood everything.
But he still could not help but be unhappy when he saw another man kiss her.
Sorrowful, he hugged Wendy tightly and sulked.
A few moments later, he sighed heavily and confessed, "Wendy, I'm jealous!"
‘He's jealous?’ Wendy was stunned.
She never imagined she would one day hear that from him.
But then, her heart softened.
"I can't promise you that I'll avoid all the intimate scenes, but I can guarantee that I won't fall in love with any of my leading men."
It was only then that the gloom in Ryan's heart dissipated.
All of a sudden, Luke coughed.
Wendy pushed Ryan away at once.
"Someone's coming."
