Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore)

Chapter 152

Lynn glanced at Becky and explained, "Becky is new to the industry. She's not professionally trained in acting and might not perform well without rehearsals. If she doesn't perform well during the afternoon shooting, could you be more understanding and allow her to rehearse a few more times? She'll perform brilliantly if given more time. Please don't be angry if she makes mistakes. Is that okay?" Jeremy retrieved his writing tablet from his bag and wrote: [Of course!]

Lynn felt her heart melting when she saw Jeremy holding the tablet with his simple reply. 'Little kids are so cute, and he's too adorable for a kid from the Hoggard family!' She tried to caress Jeremy's head as she thought so. This surprised Stacey, who quickly stopped Lynn.

Jeremy also reacted quickly as he tilted his head and dodged Lynn's hand.

"A child's skull is soft and fragile, Lynn. We shan't touch a child's head carelessly," Stacey reminded her.

Lynn was stunned. She wasn't familiar with such knowledge since she wasn't married and had no children. 'Now that Becky reminded me, I could feel the pulse on Lily and Kev's heads when they were very young. They looked so fragile, she thought.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't think of it just now," she immediately apologized.

They spent time relaxing in the living room. Lunch was ready at noon, and Joshua exited the kitchen to notify the group, telling them to gather for lunch.

The dishes were arranged on a very long table, with two rows of stools on both sides for them to sit on. The Hoggard Technologies employees couldn't resist the temptation, as they began taking pictures inconspicuously. An impatient female employee immediately posted the photos on Instagram with an annotation: [Hey, would anyone believe me if I say I'm having lunch with my boss at his home?] Hayden also exited his study and joined them. He asked everyone to sit down for lunch.

Jeremy grabbed Becky's hand immediately. He rushed to Hayden and sat next to him with her in tow. Hayden then came over and took the host's seat. Following him, Hoggard Technologies employees and Lynn sat down.

Everyone was jubilant because the meal was splendid. They felt so blissful with a full stomach that they almost forgot how stressful their work was. After a brief moment of relaxation, they were quickly reminded of why they were at their boss" home once they left the table. They felt anxious and hurried to catch up with the work.

The planning department had drafted several scripts since one clock. They sent the scripts to Hayden, who eliminated one after another until only one was left. However, the only acceptable script needed revision.

The employees were very busy. All were staring at their computers and typing feverishly.

Hayden finally approved the edited script at three o'clock in the afternoon. With that, Hoggard Technologies planning department employees collectively heaved a relieved sigh.

After printing the script in his study, Hayden strode downstairs and passed it to Stacey. I'll give you half an hour to prepare. Is that okay?" he asked.

The employees of Hoggard Technologies went green with envy when they heard that. "We can't believe our boss asks her "Is that okay?" they thought.

Many of them had worked at Hoggard Technologies for years, and Hayden's orders were always "I'll give you this amount of time. It must be done before time's upl Upon hearing that, Jeremy took out his writing tablet again and scribbled: [One hour!]

Chapter 152

Since Hayden wasn't looking at Jeremy after he finished writing, the boy tugged at his father's shirt for attention. He then showed Hayden the tablet to bargain. Hayden lowered his gaze and looked at Jeremy.

The Hoggard Technologies employees also stared at the boy. They felt the green-eyed monster striking again. Jeremy is so kind to Becky! He shows her so much love by helping her to negotiate with our boss! They couldn't help but think.

"I'll be ready in half an hour." Stacey said solemnly, Tll try my best."

Hayden nodded and told her, "Well, let's rehearse for half an hour first. We can extend the rehearsal time to one hour if needed. You don't have to be nervous."

Stacey was pleasantly surprised upon hearing that. Thank you, she said with a smile.

Hayden nodded again and answered calmly, "Sure."

The employees of Hoggard Technologies were speechless. They thought Jeremy had been unusually nice to Becky, but Hayden was also unexpectedly kind to her. They couldn't help but think again, 'Our boss has always been strict with time, yet he allows Becky more leeway if needed. Moreover, he also comforts her so she won't be nervous!

Jeremy needed to work hard alongside Stacey since he had insisted strongly to be included in the script. This meant he would act with Stacey.

When Stacey was preparing her part, Hayden took Jeremy aside and accompanied him as the boy practiced his parts again and again.

Fortunately, the scenes and plots written for Jeremy were relatively simple, and the boy only needed to act naturally. Hayden approved Jeremy's performance after only two rehearsals and told the boy he could participate in the shooting

Inter.

Stacey also began her rehearsal after preparing for while. However, as Lynn described, Stacey was less familiar with her parts on the first try. Her expression was rather unnatural. Nevertheless, Jeremy ran to her and partnered with Stacey without complaints. After rehearsing repeatedly, Stacey finally felt she was in character. The onlookers were relieved.

Hayden's serious face also broke into a smile. "That looks all right," he announced.

While his approval cheered everyone up, their smiles disappeared quickly because the shooting was about to start.

After Stacey felt prepared enough, she tried to replace the Hoggard Technologies robot she was supposed to endorse. "Where's the robot?' she wondered. Stacey looked around but didn't see any robot. The only beings here were people she knew. At last, she turned her questioning gaze to Hayden.

At that, the employees of Hoggard Technologies grinned mysteriously.

Even Hayden smiled. He looked to the kitchen and ordered, "Come here, Hannah."

The graceful and pretty girl came out of the kitchen. She went straight to Hayden and asked gently, "Mr. Hoggard. What can I do for you?"

This is the latest, most advanced robot of Hoggard Technologies with the best chip, which can complete most of the work in the kitchen. We designed her physical appearance to be as close as possible to an actual human. There's almost no difference between her and a human. Hayden explained as he looked at Stacey.
