President’s Sweet Wife

Thinking of that, she sighed and turned over, saying to Nichole, "Let's go."

Nichole nodded and left with her.

For the next two days, all the crew members could easily tell that Stephen was in a bad mood.

The Rogers family was an average one, but those people didn't dare to look down on Stephen because of his connection with the McCarthy family and his friendship with Archie. Given that he was in a bad mood, people were trying not to make him mad, but at the same time, they were all very curious.

They didn't dare to ask Stephen, so they could only ask Timothy.

Timothy, however, was also confused. He had a guess, but he wasn't sure enough and didn't dare to tell people about it. Stephen would kill him if he did.

So Timothy didn't tell anyone anything.

Laura felt bothered and helpless when she saw what was happening.

To make it clear with Stephen was the best she could do, while at the same time, it was also the most ruthless way.

Sometimes people don't profess their love for their beloved ones because they were afraid that would affect their image, and even the existing friendship would be ruined, too. However, she wasn't one of those. She was willing to be friends with Stephen.

But he wouldn't give her the chance.

Even the director had noticed his feelings towards her.

One day, Stephen was off work early, leaving Laura alone on the set. The director seized the opportunity and called her over.

He kept it down and asked her, "What's with you and Stephen?"

Laura didn't know that the director had noticed the cold war between her and Stephen, so she asked, "What do you mean?"

The director frowned.

"How long are you going to keep the secret from me? You two are like strangers on the set now, ignoring each other. I would be blind if I hadn't noticed something's going on between you two!" Laura then realized that everybody had noticed it.

She couldn't help putting on a wry smile.

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to talk to Stephen. Every time she talked to him, he would look at her with a very complicated gaze.

And then he would sigh and leave.

Laura didn't know what to do, either. She didn't know what he wanted.

At first, she tried to amend their relationship because there were the leading actor and actress in the crew. They would be other people's laughingstocks if they keep doing this.

But after she tried quite a few times, his reactions were always the same.

She wondered if her refusal was too blunt that it had hurt Stephen's self-esteem.

He might hate her now because every time she showed up, he would think about that failure. That was why he sighed at her.

Thinking of that, Laura felt that she should stop making it harder for him. So she stopped trying.

Since then, the two had stopped talking to each other. In other people's eyes, they were deliberately ignoring each other.

Laura sighed in distress, "It's all right. It's just a misunderstanding. We will be fine after some time.

The director peeked at her and snorted coldly.

"Are you sure? We're on set now, so I can help to manage the gossip within the crew. When the time comes, we'll have to do publicity and roadshows for the movie. If something is sniffed by the public, they would say that the starring actor and actress were in dispute. I think you know how much damage that would do to the box office, do you?"

How could Laura not know?

Like she had a choice!

She couldn't keep letting Stephen give her cold shoulders.

She let out a better smile when thinking of that. Then she said to the director, "Then what should I do now?"

The director frowned, looked at her, and suddenly asked, "What on earth happened?"

"Well..."

That question gave Laura a headache. She rubbed her forehead.

She considered it for a while and found that she could use the director as the mediator, so she told him everything.

When she was about to finish, she added,

"This is just between you and me. Don't tell anybody else."

The director froze after he heard it.

He never knew that the leading actor and actress of his crew had had so much toing and froing under his nose.

Their entanglement was very strong. Now he wondered why he hadn't felt it.

He wondered if he was too slow-minded.

After a long while, the director swallowed and said, "Okay, I'll try to figure it out... and you should stop approaching him for a short period.

Under that kind of frustration, almost every man would wish the other people just vanished.

However, Stephen had to meet her every day on set and keep working with her in lots of romantic scenes and he was just as depressed as any other people would do.

The director waved his hand kindly and let Laura go first.

Then he sat there and felt worried.

He wondered how he could get this problem solved.

The next day, Laura felt the atmosphere of the crew was a little bit weird as soon as she arrived.

The director seemed to be particularly enthusiastic, maybe a little bit too enthusiastic that Laura felt puzzled.

When they finished shooting one scene at noon, the director pulled her aside.

He said to Laura mysteriously, "Laura, I was giving you opportunities. I've told Stephen that you'll meet in the lounge later. You guys need to get things straight and talk it out." "You're young and open-minded. Everything will be fine as long as you talk it out."

Laura then realized what this was about. She felt a bit embarrassed.

She knew that the director was doing this for their sake. She had thought about it, too. If they continued behaving like this, the whole crew would be affected.

Moreover, she really didn't want things between her and Stephen to become so weird. So she agreed.

After lunch, Laura went to the lounge as the director had arranged.

Stephen was lying there resting in the room.

He had a tight schedule for the last two days. He had finished an important scene last night and had barely slept till this morning. Now he was back because he would be doing other scenes at noon. He had just finished his lunch. There was still a while before the shooting started, so he lay down on the chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be sleeping.

Laura walked over and saw a coat on his face. He covered his face perhaps because the light was dazzling.

Laura stood for a while. She felt weird and didn't know what to do. He didn't seem to be waking up. However, if she didn't talk to him now, there wouldn't be any chance if other people came in to do makeup.
