A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Chapter 72

Lo and behold, Vinson handled the last scene superbly well. It went way beyond the director’s expectations. When the camera zoomed in, Vinson looked deeply into Arielle’s eyes as if she was the goddess that he truly adored and loved. It was unbelievably real! “Cut!” The director walked away from the monitor feeling smug. He clapped his hands and complimented the duo, “I’m so impressed with Ms. Sannie’s sensitivity toward the camera while you, Mr. Nightshire—your acting blew my mind away!

You’re so talented. It’s such a waste that you’re not considering to enter the show business…” Vinson found his comment ridiculous. What acting skills? All I did was accepted a cup of coffee, took a sip, and then stared at Arielle in the eyes. There wasn’t even a line uttered. Were there any skills required? Yet, he kept his thoughts to himself and listened to the director’s praise. He merely asked, “Is that all to the shoot?”

The director nodded his head. “Yes, yes, it’s a wrap! You guys are excellent. That one take was simply perfect!” Upon hearing that, Vinson creased his forehead disapprovingly. Aren’t kissing scenes necessary in romantic dramas when the lead actor and actress became a couple? Why didn’t I get a chance to even hold Arielle’s hand? Such a useless director! Looking glum, Vinson ordered, “Pack up and leave immediately since the filming is over.

Get ready for tomorrow’s shoot.” The director hesitated. “The shoot tomorrow requires an office building as the location. Unfortunately, we haven’t found a suitable one to date. Hence, we might see a delay in the schedule.” Vinson was never bothered about petty operational matters. He simply murmured in acknowledgment and walked toward Harvey. “Let’s go! We’re done here. Since there’s nothing on my schedule today, let’s call up Jordan for a meal together.”

“I’ll take a rain check…” Harvey rejected. “You guys go ahead. I want to treat Ms. Moore to a meal.” Vinson’s face instantly turned solemn at his words. He felt somewhat irritated—the same uncontrollable feelings he had when he heard that Harvey fell in love with Arielle at first sight. He tried taking a deep breath to maintain his composure.

“You can save it. From my limited understanding about her, she won’t go out to a meal with you so easily.” Harvey shrugged his shoulders. “I’ll never know if I don’t give it a shot.” He looked forward to asking her out. In fact, he had been waiting for this moment for ages. With his arms folded across his chest, Vinson let out a skin-deep grin. “Well, good luck! I bet you won’t succeed.” He thought he knew a fair bit about Arielle.

Though she appears to be obedient and good-natured in front of Henrick, she’s actually a sly fox that bites. For someone as shrewd as a fox, would she go out with a man whom she’s just met for the first time? Vinson was as confident with his assumption as he was with Arielle’s personality. Right then, Arielle walked out. She had removed her make-up and put on a plain white t-shirt and a pair of faded jeans. Typically, lighter colors were known to make people look plump.

However, that was not the case for Arielle. The jeans actually accentuated her figure and her pair of long legs, in a way that made people gawk. Harvey strode toward her. “Ms. Moore.” Arielle had quite a good impression of Harvey. She smiled at him and replied, “Mr. Jupiter, thank you for getting us this place as the filming set.”

Harvey shook his head. “Don’t mention it. Vin and I are like brothers, so this is nothing. By the way, are you free? I heard from your assistant that this is your last shot of the day?” From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yup, I’m going home, and have a good rest.” Harvey checked his watch. “Since you’re not rushing to go anywhere and it’s already noon… May I have the pleasure of treating you to lunch?” Vinson stood nearby and eavesdropped.
