Spoiled By My Bossy CEO Husband novel Chapter 43

“Sir.”

Luke looked at him coldly, “I respect your will to see the actors practicing, but please don't disturb our work.”

He did not know why, but he could feel hostility coming from this cold and arrogant man.

It was the kind of hostility that one could not ignore.

“Is that so?”

Ralph raised his eyes to look at him. The pair of obsidian-like eyes carried a sense of oppression that made people gasp for breath.

“Yes!”

Luke frowned fiercely and looked in his eyes, “You can't disturb our work.”

Practice between the actors could be done during filming. However, Luke deliberately wanted to do it in the conference room. The intention was to take advantage of Lottie to earn fame.

Now there was a person between them, so how could he let someone take intimate photos of them?

“We don’t need to be so close when practicing.”

Lottie talked and interrupted Luke, “It is fine.”

She scanned Ralph and then looked at Luke, “We're just practicing. It's not the really acting, so it doesn't matter if we're a little far away.”

“You are right!”

The director wiped away the cold sweats on his forehead and hurriedly followed what Lottie had said to maintain the peaceful situation, “Let this gentleman sit between you two. This will help all of us in feeling the atmosphere of filming. This is quite a good idea!”

After saying that, he gave a wink towards Ralph.

Although Luke was not happy, he could not say anything else. He silently took out his phone and sent a message to Isobel.

“Tell the journalists we have invited. They will not be able to take intimate photos of her and me anymore.”

Soon after, Isobel sent back a message, “What's going on?”

“The journalists have even written the press release of it. Why can’t they take photos anymore?”

“A big shot comes and messes up our plan.”

“Damn it!”

Isobel put the phone down after replying to that.

“What's wrong?”

In the cafe, the woman sitting across from her was stirring her coffee elegantly. Her voice was soft.

“Claudia, we are not able to take intimate photos of Lottie and Luke today.”

Isobel sighed, “Luke said someone came and messed up our plan.”

“Take your time.”

Claudia was still stirring the coffee cup elegantly, “As long as Lottie and Luke have interactions with each other, we will get the photos sooner or later.”

She would like to see whether Ralph could accept Lottie who kept getting entangled with her ex-boyfriend.

At that moment, Ralph was still sitting in the middle of Lottie and Luke, holding the script handed over by the director in his hand.

“I don’t like this female role. It is so illogical and foolish.”

After reading the script, Ralph made a summary of it.

The director was speechless.

He took a deep breath and looked at Ralph with a smile on his face, “Then what you meant is...”

Ralph slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Sean, who had been standing quietly on the sidelines.

Sean let out a soft cough and took the director outside.

In an instant, only Lottie, Luke, and the cold and arrogant Ralph, who was sitting between them, were left in the conference room.

Luke, with his arms around his chest, leaned proudly on his chair and sneered, “So, do you want to change the script?”

“You know what, this film has been given an investment of two hundred million dollars. Never think about changing the script with a little money.”

Ralph lowered his eyes, reading the script elegantly while ignoring him.

Ralph's attitude of not taking to him seriously at all completely angered Luke.

He gritted his teeth and glared viciously at Ralph, “I know what you're thinking about.”

“Do you really think that if you stand in between me and this actress and stop me from having any interactions with her, then she'll have a good feeling on you?”

“Or do you think that if you just invest a few million to the crew, you'll be able to change the script and sleep with the actress?”

“You know what, she's actually married. Her husband is someone you dare not to mess with!”

Ralph’s fingers were flipping through the script while giving it a slight slap.

Ralph turned his head slowly and looked at him, “Then dare you?”

“Sure I dare not.”

Luke raised his lip and smiled smugly, “However, I have a co-working relationship with her.”

“We have a relationship based on the roles in this play, so I can be intimate with her openly, in front of everyone in Rexwell!”

“Even if her husband looks for trouble, he can only blame himself for marrying an actress. I am not the one who he should blame!”

...

Lottie sat quietly on the chair while listening to what Luke was saying. The more she heard, the more nervous she felt.

Luke was still chattering in the distance, “Moreover, I have something on her!”

“Even if her husband finds me, I still have something to make her husband divorce her!”

Ralph frowned, “You have something on her?”

“Yeah!”

Luke had completely fallen into a state of wanting to show off in front of a love rival, “You know, this woman did something shameful five years ago…”

“Luke Berry!”

As he was about to tell Ralph what happened back then, Lottie hastily spoke up to stop him.

Luke quickly came back to his senses.

“I still haven’t said anything.”

He did not care about her and continued, “Why are you so anxious?”

Lottie pursed her lips while subconsciously glanced at Ralph who was sitting beside her.

Ralph was still calmly reading the script in his hand. He was gently flipping through the script with his large hands. It seemed that he did not hear their conversation at all.

Lottie’s heart slowly calmed down.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Luke, “If you don't want everyone to know that you once depended on me to live on, then you’d better keep your mouth shut!”

As he probably did not expect that she could say so, Luke was shocked. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth and remained silent.

Not long after, Sean and the director came back.

The woman with glasses and short hair came in with them.

The director pulled the woman over while smiling, “Sir, this is the chief scriptwriter of the play ‘As White as In Snow’.”

“If you wish to make some changes to the roles, you can just talk to her!”

Luke, who was sitting at the side, immediately widened his eyes.

The director had actually personally brought the chief scriptwriter here... just to change the script for this man?

He turned his head in shock to look at Ralph.

Luke had known the director of this play ‘As White as In Snow’ for many years. He was a director who would not listen to anyone even though they were rich or famous!

In the past, someone rich had offered 20 million shares to get the opportunity to play a minor role in the director’s film but was rejected by the director.

How could this man make the director change the script of the play?

What was the background of this guy?

Ralph raised his head while glancing at him indifferently, “I don’t like this female role that this lady is going to play.”

The chief scriptwriter seriously pushed up her glasses, “Which scenes dissatisfy you?”

“The love scenes.”

Ralph elegantly flung the script onto the table, “Remove all the love scenes.”

He tilted his head, and his gaze faintly swept a glance at Lottie, “Let her seriously engage in her career and never fall in love with any man.”

“It’s impossible!”

Luke instantly exploded with rage, “This role is created to fall in love with the male lead!”

Before all this, he had been stretched to the limit to let Isobel become famous. Fortunately, Claudia was willing to fund him and Isobel and helped them to make comebacks.

What Claudia requested when she funded them was also very simple. He must act intimate with Lottie in front of the public.

But now, this man now wanted the scriptwriter to delete all the love scenes of him and Lottie!

Ralph faintly raised his eyes and glanced at the chief scriptwriter, “Is that so?”

Ralph's gaze was too cold and dangerous.

The scriptwriter took a step back in fear, “... I will go and make some changes so that the male lead and female lead will fall in love.”

“For what reason!”

Luke slammed the table. His anger was written all over his face, “I object in changing the script!”

“Your objection is invalid.”

The director who was standing on the side gave him a glance, “Luke, who do you think you are?”
