Supreme Mars novel Chapter 198

After waking up, Leo found Lydia was not with him. When he went downstairs, he saw Lydia cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

“Good morning.” Leo greeted Lydia with a smile.

“Morning.” Lydia looked up at him and suddenly said, “She has left.”

“Really?” Hearing this, Leo paused and then walked into Sharon’s room.

The room was empty and the bed was nicely tidied up as if it had not been used.

Leo would think no one had stayed here if it were not for a piece of paper on the nightstand.

Picking up the paper, he saw a line of delicate handwriting.

“Thank you for letting me stay here last night. If I get more information, I will contact you. Besides, please thank Lydia for me.”

Leo bitterly smiled, paper in hand. Actually, he had seen through that Sharon was not ready to face Lydia when they met last night. After her brother’s missing, she had been used to being alone. She didn’t want to bother anybody no matter what happened.

Putting the note away, Leo walked out of the room as if he had seen nothing.

Lydia would not bring it up so Leo would not ask for a snub to provoke her.

“Prepare to go to the YL Studiowith me.” Lydia said to Leo when eating.

Leo paused, “Why are we going there?”

He remembered that this place was specially built for filming movies and teleplays.

“Today is the day of filming the promotional video. The director has arrived.”

Leo didn’t realize that they had to shoot the promotional video for the new product, Angel, of L group until he heard what Lydia had said.

He would never attend this kind of activity. But Lydia had joined in as a promotional stunt. He had to act as the main actor.

“Why do you go to YL Studio? Are you going to film a movie?” Marie had a good hearing. She overheard Leo and Lydia’s conversation, running out of her room.

Leo told their work to Marie. She immediately clapped and exclaimed, “I have never been to a filming spot. Can I go with you?”

Leo looked at Lydia. She frowned. When she wanted to speak, Marie scooped up Emilia, “Emilia, your parents are going to film a movie. So they can’t accompany you.”

Hearing this, Emilia stopped eating and became sad. She said in an injured tone, “Mommy and Daddy, I want to go with you.”

“…”

Lydia didn’t know how to deal with her. She scowled at Marie and then compromised, “You can go with us. But you can’t disturb the filming.”

Marie happily exclaimed and said at once, “Okay, I won’t.”

After breakfast, they arrived at YL Studioone hour later.

Both Michelle Brooks and Zack, the agent, had arrived. To Leo’s surprise, soon after their arrival, Ronnie Stewart came as well.

“What are you doing here?”

As soon as Michelle saw Ronnie, she became annoyed.

Looking at Michelle, Ronnie said with a smile, “Mr. Wright really concerns this business so he assigned me to check the progress.”

Since it was Mr. Wright who asked Ronnie to come here, Michelle had no words to say.

Meanwhile, Leo walked to them and said to Ronnie with his eyes squinted, “You can visit here, but I hope you are clear what you can do and what you can’t.”

Zack knew who Leo was so he dared not treat him as he had done last time. Ronnie, however, bursted into laughter when he looked at Leo, “Do I need your agreement to do something?”

His smile got insidious, “There are few happy days left for you.”

Leo and Lydia knew he was talking about the thing that Bertie threatened them yesterday. But It seemed that Ronnie didn’t know the result.

Leo and Lydia ignored him, directly walking to Michelle, “Where’s the director?”

Michelle guided them to meet a man, who looked like more than 40 years old and had a large beer belly, “This is Robert, the director.”

Then she pointed at Lydia and said, “Robert, this is the CEO of L Group.”

“Hello, Ms Henderson.” Robert immediately stretched out his hand to Lydia obsequiously.

“This is the main actor, Leo Cohen.” Michelle introduced.

Robert looked at Leo, frowning, “You are the main actor?”

“Yes.” Leo answered with a smile and politely held out his hand, “I love your movie Cody Davidson.”

However, Robert didn’t hold out his hand, still putting hands behind his back, “Do you have works?”

“No.”

Leo withdrew his hand and shook head, “This is my first time acting.”

“So you got this role by relationships.” Robert tittered, looking at Leo scornfully.

Leo was just about to explain when Robert glanced at Emilia beside Leo. Robert suddenly became angry, “Whose child? Get her out of here!”

Leo at once regretfully said, “I’m sorry. She is my daughter. She is well-behaved and she won’t disturb the filming.”

Leo looked down at Emilia, “Emilia, say hello to this uncle.”

“No!” Emilia didn’t listen to Leo unexpectedly.

Emilia hided behind Leo, stared at Robert angrily, saying, “He is a bad guy. I won’t greet him!”

Robert didn’t care about it and he instructed the crew to start the work.

Then he looked at Leo, said seriously, “I don’t care who helped you to get the role. Everyone should listen to me here. Don’t let her bother us!”

Emilia was frightened, immediately hiding behind Leo.

Leo became more peaceful and turned to pat Emilia’s head, saying, “Daddy is going to work. You can stand by and watch me. Okay?”

“Okay.” Emilia felt a bit aggrieved but still ran away, watching quietly.

“Today we will shoot two scenes. One is about modern times and the other is about ancient times. The ancient scene is mainly about Michelle while the modern one is about Mr Leo Cohen. They don’t need heavy makeups. Just be natural.”

Robert knew Lydia would also show up in the video so he always flattered her.

Then Leo was taken to get dressed up. He put on the ancient clothes, looking rakish and handsome.

Michelle wore a red gorgeous dress. And her hair was gathered up and fixed by a gold headwear. She seemed to be a philanthropic queen who concerned all people in her country.

Ronnie steadily stared at Michelle from a distance. He looked gloomy, thinking, ‘But for Leo, I would have been the partner of Michelle.’

Zack comforted him, “Don’t worry, it is his first act. If he doesn’t act well, you can replace him. Then you can kiss Lydia and Michelle.”

Robert came to Leo and gave him a glance, saying, “As you have no experience in acting, I don’t expect you to surprise me. You just need to do as I say. Got it?”

Then Robert turned and looked at the crew, saying, “Act One is mainly focused on Michelle. You have to express your desperation after knowing that your husband died on the war field. Do you understand?”

Finishing his words, he looked at Leo, “You are going to lie on the ground, acting a dead body.”

Hardly had Leo spoken when Robert looked at the crew and continued saying, “All ready, action…”

“Hold on!” Robert was interrupted by someone.

Leo said seriously, “I’m sorry that I disagree with your conception.”
