Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 165

Luke rarely goes to the Jade Picture after he moves his office back to the Luke Up Group. But after Jenny comes back from JL City, he goes there several times.

Peter is still new and he does not understand his boss so much yet. He thinks that inspecting the company is the reason Luke goes there today. Just when he sees that Luke is preparing to go to the Jade Picture on a rainy day, he blocks Luke’s way foolishly.

“President Luke, you don’t need to go personally today especially it’s raining so heavily today, I’ll just go with Lilian. If there are any documents needed to be signed, we can just bring them back for you.”

Luke gets annoyed immediately. He glances at Peter.

Lilian stands at the side. She cannot help but open her mouth, “I think President Luke should go there personally, because I’m not very sure about the procedure there. The preliminary results of the lawsuit over there earlier came out. And it was sent there already…”

“It’s okay, I’ll just go there and take it…”

Peter is still trying so hard to help.

“Do you know who to ask for it?” Luke stares deeply into Peter’s eyes.

“Don’t I just looking for … eh …” Before he can finish his sentence, he feels a sharp pain in his ankle. He screams out in pain and turns around to stare Lilian. Lilian is staring at him behind him fiercely. She doesn’t make any sound for a few seconds, then uttering two words with her lips, “Shut up…”

Peter is stunned. Then he hears Lilian saying to Luke, “It’s better for President Luke to go and see himself so that he will be clearer about the lawsuit there. And he can check if the PR article posted online is appropriate or not.”

“Yes.” Luke gets up after tidying up his cuffs and walks out of the office. Peterlooks down from the French window of the CEO’s office. Soon he sees Tom walking hurriedly beside Luke while holding an umbrella.

Peter looks puzzled, “Didn’t you say that President Luke barely goes out when it rains?”

Lilian is tidying up the desk. She glances at Peter, “President Luke’s habit has changed with the times.”

“Change with the times?” Peter cannot understand her words, “Is going out in the rain to do some unimportant stuff being considered as changing with the times?”

Lilian finishes tidying her desk. She glances at him contemptuously. She can’t help but saying,

“You are hopeless…”

Racing down the highway in a silver commercial car, Tom gives Luke a white towel. Despite the little rain, Luke still feels a bit cold.

“Do you want to go directly to the Jade Picture to see the preliminary result of the lawsuit?” Tom asks.

“Yes.”

“Oh, Director Wang wants to borrow seven or eight actors from Jade Picture to the film studio to help with some scenes. He takes the actors away today. But, how do the female actors handle shooting in this raining weather?”

Luke looks calm as if this matter has nothing to do with him.

Tom lowers his head and leans against the back of the chair. There is a sense of teasing in his tone, “I heard that the actor named Jenny is also one of the actors.” Luke turns his head fiercely, staring at Tom without moving his body.

After two seconds, a deep voice can be heard from inside the car, “Go to the film studio.”

Tom’s teasing look is reflected by the blurred reflection of the car window.

It seems like Mr. George is right, Jenny is really the apple of Luke’s eyes.

At JZ Cinema City,

The original filming plans have been disrupted by the rainstorm. Director Wang wanders around in the temporary plastic shed, touching his bald head as if he is thinking about something.

“Director Wang, are we still shooting the scene?”

“Yes, why not? The scene would be better with raining…”

“But Milena Thompson says she is having a cold. She has finished packing her belongings and is ready to go back to the hotel to rest.”

“Who lets her go?” Director Wang throws the script in his hand on the floor. His face turns purple with anger, “Shit, does she know how much the crew is going to lose by delaying the shooting for one day? And then is she going to be the one invest on our drama?”

Milena is the second main actress who joins the crew with an investment. She is the investor’s sister-in-law. Her temper is not bad and her acting skills can be trained. However, she is quite spoiled. She needs a substitute for her when it is too windy or too sunny. But she has to show her face at the scene today. The shooting episode is about the second main female character Reeva who stands by the lake is pushed into the lake by her stepmother. She will be pushed into the lake from the front with a close-up take. That’s why a substitute cannot be used to act for the scene.

“Director Wang…”

The production assistant sighs and whispers in the ear of director Wang about what actually happens to Milena.

In fact, Milena is not sick at all. She just doesn’t want to jump into the lake. She hopes that the scene can be changed to pushing from the back side. In this way, a substitute can replace her to jump into the lake.

At this time, Jenny is drinking tea with other actors inside a resting tent. The resting tent has good ventilation and it is quite cold inside. She sees some walk-on actresses shivering outside the tent. Then, she just asks the actresses to go inside. Shawn brings Jenny a heater and they chit-chat happily around the heater. It becomes more comfortable.

The production assistant is calling people from outside for the preparation of shooting the scene. Jenny puts down a handful of melon seeds, smiling at the actresses, “Let’s go and start our job. If we finish shooting early, we can go home and rest early.”

JZ Cinema City is built based on the scenery of West Mount in Xicheng. The background of the scene is at the foot of the mountain. The lake is turquoise in color. Spring is coming. The crew still add some fake green branches on the trees to make it look brighter.

When Jenny comes out from the tent, she sees Milena standing by the lake. Milena is pointing at her position. There is a little girl almost the same size as her standing next to her. The girl is the one who chats with Jenny inside the tent just now. The little girl just does not like to talk to others.

Before Jenny gets ready nears the lake, she hears a “splash” sound from the lake. The little girl is pushed into the lake directly. Originally, when Reeva acted by Milena is pushed into the lake, these walk-on actresses who are led by Jenny should run over there and scream for help.

But this time, Jenny and other actresses are stunned as the one who falls into the lake is not Milena.

How is it different from what they are told?

“Cut…cut…” The director who is holding his microphone shouts impatiently. “What’s going on? Where are those walk-on actresses who is supposed to save her? Jenny, what are you waiting for? Pull her from the water and do it again once she changes her clothes.”

The little girl is pulled ashore. She is dripping wet. She goes inside the tent to change her clothes directly.

After changing her clothes, she comes out and continues to be shot several times. But no matter how much she tries, it is always awkward. Except for the first take which is Jenny’s problem, almost all the following takes are Milena’s problems. Either Milena’s make-up is messed up, or the way she walks goes wrong. No one knows whether she does that intentionally. She even sneezes before everyone finishes the scene.

Jenny at the side takes a glass of water from Cecelia. She asks, “What’s going on? Is the shooting of the scene changed temporarily?”

“The second main actress is reluctant to jump into the water. We find a substitute to replace her in this scene.”

“Not really, can’t you feel that Milena is doing all of these on purpose?”

“You notice that too?” Ceceliasteps closer to Jenny and lowers his voice, “Isn’t Milena the investor’s sister-in-law? The little girl who substitutes Milena’s scene is a student from a film academy. I hear that she is the young mistress of the investor. Their relationship is not normal…”

“Where does all this gossip come from? Why does she act as a substitute if she really is the mistress of the investor? “Jenny changes her facial expression.

“Ah, who knows? Just do your part. Let’s just pray it’s over soon, I am freezing here entertaining Milena.”
