My Dreamy Old Husband -
Chapter 423
The film crew received a lot of flower baskets again on this day. It wasn't rare for the film crew toreceive flowers because it was a common occurrence.
Many nouveau riche often bombarded the film sets with flowers to flatter the female celebrities theyliked, and some rich women also did this to flatter their favorite young idols. However, the flowerbaskets this time were quite different, for they were sent to Taylor by Natasha.
Everyone on the film set knew that Natasha was in love with Taylor. She was eager to please him;not only did she visit the film set in person every now and then these days, but she also had flowerbaskets delivered to the set from time to time. Looking at the flowers placed on the set, the walk-onladies and the staff on the film set began whispering among themselves.
“Tsk, tsk. Natasha seems serious, but her feelings don't seem to be reciprocated!”
“That's difficult to say. Our Prince Charming here may seem aloof and distant on the outside, butwho knows what he’s thinking deep down inside? Perhaps he is inwardly bursting with impatienceto marry into the Mitchell Family, but is now simply putting on an act!”
“That's right. Even though he is flourishing in show business, he's still just an artist after all. Marryinginto the Mitchells would be a very good choice!”
All of them sounded jealous as they spoke. Their eyes were filled with jealousy. How they wishedthey were born into prominent families, or possessed the same cleverness and academicqualifications as Natasha!
On this day, they were filming a scene where the male lead courageously rescued the traffickedladies, who all looked travel-worn, weary, and wretched after being hidden in a car. The film directorforbade them to wear makeup; instead, he told everyone to apply some dirt on their faces and rollon the ground
Sophia obediently applied some dirt on her face and rolled on the floor. However, after she haddone so, she discovered that everyone else simply put a little dirt on their faces after having appliedtheir usual exquisite base makeup, and they didn't roll on the floor at all.
While other ladies looked delicate and charming with feigned pitifulness, Sophia looked a real sorrysight. Covered in dirt, she huddled in a corner while eating some snacks. As she listened toeveryone's discussion, she couldn't help saying with a touch of jealousy, “That's not necessarily so,for Taylor is a married man! It'll be difficult for Natasha to get married to him!” However, her wordswere instantly met with unanimous ridicule from everyone else.
"We can tell at first glance that you're new in show business. Nothing is absolute in the field, for it isnormal for celebrities to get married or divorced, and cheat on their spouses for the sake ofpublicity!”
“It's silly to talk about love in show business; there is no true love to speak of here. Everyone in thecircle is vain. Can Taylor really stay faithful to that wife of his when different ladies want to have sexwith him every other day?”
“Romance in show business is the most worthless; it's not as practical as money and fame!”“Haven't you heard it? There's an unspoken rule on the set whereby all the supporting actresses aresupposed to sleep with the lead actors. Who do you think out of so many supporting actresses herestand the best chance to sleep with Miss Taylor?”
“Miss Taylor can sleep with whoever he wants, of course! The way I see it, he'll most likely sleep withNatasha!”
“I bet Miss Taylor doesn't dare to touch Natasha, though. If he really sleeps with her, he'll be boundto the Mitchell Family for the rest of his life, and he'll no longer be able to play around as hepleases. I wouldn't be willing to end up like that if I were him!”
Sophia was quite at a loss for a reply, for she found herself unable to join their conversation at all.My idol won't be as deplorable as they imagined! He has always been chaste! she thought toherself.
Still, Sophia was a bit worried. In general, men were animals that easily succumbed to lust. Now thatso many beauties were offering themselves to Michael, what if he really gave in to their seductionone day? What if there really were supporting actresses who wanted to sleep with him? With thatthought in mind, she decided to keep a closer eye on Michael.
Michael was playing the male main antagonist this time. Since there wasn't any romantic subplot forhis character, he never had to worry about having to film intimate scenes. Therefore, he was totallyunperturbed even with his wife watching him on set.
The ladies waited on the film set for a long time just to film a scene that might last for only a minuteor two. Even so, they scrambled to have their faces featured in the scene despite it lasting such ashort time.
Sophia was unable to fight against them, so she was pushed to the back of the crowd every singletime. Thus, she could only have her limbs featured in the shots at most since she couldn't have herface featured at all.
However, she wasn't here to steal the show from other actresses. She was here specifically to keepan eye on her husband! Therefore, she sat silently among the crowd while watching Michael closely.Michael was a very professional actor; not only was he good at acting, but he was also verycharismatic, and he rarely broke into laughter during filming. However, he frequently broke intolaughter during filming on this day.
Whenever he was drawn into his character only to see the dirt-covered Sophia staring round-eyedat him nearby, he couldn't help but give her an affectionate smile. In the end, he only managed tofinish filming his scenes with great difficulty by forcing himself not to look at her.
The morning passed in a flash. Aside from the fact that Michael often unexpectedly broke intolaughter during filming, the filming went relatively smoothly, for the scenes were filmed accordingto schedule. When the film crew handed out the lunchboxes at noon, the walk-ons lined up to gettheir own, whereas Sophia went to eat in Michael's SUV.
Michael had put on quite a show this time since he had even brought a food truck and some chefswith him. The dishes were ready when Michael, Sophia, and the others arrived, so they sat at twoseparate tables to eat.
Michael sat with Harry at a table, whereas Sophia sat with Hale, Danny, and Maria to avoidsuspicions. Since this was the first time Sophia played as a walk-on, she was both a little excited andphysically exhausted, and it took only a little while before she wolfed down two bowls of rice.
When she put down her fork and spoon, she saw the director coming to scrounge a free meal anddiscuss the scenes that would be filmed that afternoon with the two lead actors. However, the leadactress was nowhere to be seen. She seemed to be filming other scenes on a separate set.
Looking at the flowers Natasha had sent to Michael on the film set, she quietly nudged Hale andshot a glance at the flowers. Then, she shot another glance at Michael and jutted out her chintoward Hale, signaling for him to approach Michael
Instantly understanding what she meant, Hale finished his meal and went up to Michael, asking,“Mr. Murray, what should we do with the flowers?”
Sophia pricked up her ears and listened attentively as she was desperate to know what Michaelwould do with the flowers. Michael ate while sneaking a glance at Sophia, who had her ears prickedup while eavesdropping on their conversation. Thus, he said with a smile, “What else can we do? Wecan't waste them. Just bring them back to the hotel.”
Before long, everyone on the film set learned that Taylor had accepted the flower baskets Natashasent and even brought them back to the hotel. In an instant, the film set was abuzz with gossips,and it took only a while before the story was distorted.
"Have you heard it? Taylor accepted Natasha's flowers! They're seeing each other now!”
“That's right! I heard that Taylor moved out from the hotel where the film crew is staying two daysago to the mountain resort where Natasha is staying! They must have been sleeping together forseveral days!”
Natasha had also sent many flower baskets over last time, but Michael gave them to the film crewso that they could be used as props. However, he readily accepted her flower baskets this time,which was an obvious sign that something was going on.
Natasha, who was staying at the mountain resort, was exuberant when she learned of this. Asexpected, my perseverance works! Taylor will fall for me one day!
Angry that Michael had accepted Natasha's flowers, Sophia sneaked off to another film set thatafternoon to play a walk-on part.
For time-saving purposes, the film crew was split into two groups to allow multiple scenes to befilmed simultaneously. Michael and Harry were in a group, whereas the lead actress was in theother. Currently, the lead actress was filming other scenes on a seperate set.
The lead actress of the film “War Dragon’ was Nicole Walker, who landed herself the role despite herobscurity as the lead actress in a local TV drama.
Having played as walk-ons in many dramas, she was the favorite of middle-aged and oldcountrywomen, until a highly-publicized tabloid scandal landed her on the A-list and made her atrue celebrity. After that, she signed up with Imperial Management Studio and became the leadactress of the film “War Dragon’.
