Chapter 40 I Do This for Isobel
As soon as Lottie’s message was sent out, she received a call from the director.
“Lottie, where are you now?”
“I’m really excited that you’re willing to play the role!”
“Are you free now? Come to the Filming Town, and I’ll ask someone to analyze the script for you.”
Lottie frowned slightly, “I don’t need it.”
She had been doing script analysis for many years and she never needed any help from others.
The director on the phone paused for a while and said, “But still you have to come to the Filming Town. You have to take the script here.”
Lottie hesitated for a moment and agreed to go.
The director asked her to meet in the conference room on the third floor of the administration building of the Filming Town.
After she entered the conference room, she found that it was not only the director who was waiting for her but also the producer and the assistant director.
And the person sitting in the middle of them was the man she didn’t want to see at all. It was Luke.
Seeing her coming into the room, Luke smiled at her from a distance, “I’m very happy that you are willing to play this role, Lottie.”
“I believe that with your ability, you should be able to master this role soon.”
Lottie only felt dark in front of her eyes.
Why did Luke still appear in front of her when she just came to get the script?
“Mr. Berry is really dedicated and takes good care of this new actress, Lottie!”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The director couldn’t help sighing, “Lottie, just now Luke heard that you would come back to take the script, so he postponed today’s shooting because he wants to guide you in person!”
“I’ve thought about it. Since you have promised to play this role, you have to cooperate with Luke well in the shooting, so you should meet him and rehearse the scenes with him first.”
As he said this, he got up and let Lottie sit at his original seat which was beside Luke, “Lottie, congratulations. As soon as you become an official actress, you’ve got such a good teacher like Luke!”
The word ‘teacher’ made Lottie couldn’t help laughing.
She looked up into Luke’s eyes, “Should I call you Teacher Luke now?”
When they first fell in love, Luke was just a nameless actor who didn’t even study the acting major in college.
After they were together, she guided Luke step by step on how to act in films and how to improve his acting skills. She guided him for every film he did, helped him to analyze the scripts, and helped him to understand the roles better to improve his acting skills.
Now, Luke showed everyone that he was being generous and wanted to be her teacher?
How ironic!
“I’m not considered a teacher yet.”
Probably he felt that she was resisting him, Luke smiled and moved his chair, keeping a close distance from Lottie, “But we can help each other.”
“You can ask me if you have any questions in the future and I will discuss with you if I have parts that I don’t understand.”
Only then, Lottie understood that Luke was just tricking her.
No matter what he said before, she didn’t promise to continue to do script analysis for him.
Now he actually used this reason to start a “friendly communication” with her?
However, even if she knew what he was thinking, in front of so many people, she could not reject him on the spot.
So she sneered and looked down at the script.
For a whole day, Lottie was indifferent to Luke.
She didn’t ask Luke any questions about the script. When Luke asked her, she just perfunctorily said that she didn’t understand as well.
After studying the script, Luke took the initiative to take an elevator with Lottie when they left the workplace in the evening.
There were only both of them in the elevator. Lottie felt a little annoyed.
She lowered her head, took out her cell phone, and started to play with her phone.
Unexpectedly, one of the hottest topics on the internet today was like this, “Luke teaches Lottie to act.”
She frowned and clicked on the topic.
It was the photo of Luke and Lottie sitting in the conference room studying the script on the internet.
There were also a few photos of her close to Luke.
There was the comment, ‘Who doesn’t like a gentleman like Luke? Lottie and Luke feel like a couple!’
When was this picture taken?
Lottie bit her lip and turned off her phone. She looked up at Luke, who was standing not far away from her, “The photo should be taken by your team? Did you also post the news on the Internet?”
“It is for Isobel.”
Luke looked at the front. His eyes were no longer gentle like what he showed in front of others, “Now there is more news about you and me on the internet, which will make news about Isobel receiving less attention.”
“After everyone forgets about what happened yesterday, Isobel can return to the industry.”
Lottie took a deep breath.
“So, everything you did today… is for Isobel?”
He really loved Isobel.
She had been with him for five years. Luke not only refused to announce their relationship to the public but also covered up her existence from the public.
After he started dating Isobel, he immediately made their relationship public.
Even now when Isobel got into trouble, he would use her, his ex-girlfriend to cover Isobel’s news?
Her heart grew colder and colder.
“It’s not all for Isobel.”
Luke grinned slightly, “It’s also for you and me.”
“After this incident, netizens will like me more and think that I am a kind man with a sense of responsibility.”
“As for you, you can also take this opportunity to become a formal actress, instead of a stunt double.”
His face looked proud, “It’s a win-win situation, and to get the best result, Lottie, you must cooperate with me.”
The elevator reached the first floor.
“Cooperate with you? In your dream!”
Lottie said this fiercely. Then she carried her bag and strode out of the elevator.
The Filming Town’s entrance was cold and quiet.
Lottie stood by the roadside and waited for a long time, but no taxi came.
“Let me send you home.”
The black BMW stopped beside her and the window was rolled down, showing Luke’s face.
He took off his sunglasses and looked at her with a smile, “Last time you said that you and your husband live in the villa area, and my car is too shabby to get in it.”
Then he raised his eyes, looked around, and laughed, “What? Mr. Chapman, who you said that he loves you so much, didn’t even buy you a car?”
Lottie rolled her eyes and walked past his car. She continued to wait for a taxi by the roadside.
But there was still no taxi.
Half an hour had passed but there were still no cars passing by.
It was getting dark.
Luke leaned gracefully against the car window, and he smiled sarcastically, “It’s getting dark soon and there are quite a lot of mosquitoes here at night.”
“Although my car is shabby, for the sake of your skin, it’s better to tolerate it for a while?”
As he said that, he also yawned, “Lottie, you have not been an actual actress before, so you do not know how important the actor’s skin is.”
“If the mosquito bites your face later… Tsk tsk tsk, you will be scolded by the director.”
Lottie rolled her eyes, turned around, and carried her backpack, walking in the direction of the Chapmans’ Villa.
There was no taxi, but she still could walk back.
But when she took a step, Luke’s car followed.
Lottie sped up, then Luke’s car moved faster.
When she was slow, the car was slow, too.
Finally, Luke said sleepily, “I almost believed you before, Lottie. I thought that Mr. Chapman, that creep, is really good to you.”
“Now it seems like…”
“It’s so late after work, but he doesn’t even send a car to pick you up. You don’t live well after you marry him.”
Luke said, raised his hand, and touched his chin with pride, “Or, you can just continue to be with me.”
“How about that? Be my mistress and I will protect you from being bullied by Isobel.”
