This was all Grace Wilson’s design, deliberately getting hit, but at this moment, Sophie Wilson couldn’t say a word to defend herself.
Could she really say that all of this was Grace Wilson’s plan?
Would anyone design a scenario where they got slapped in the face?
So, at this moment, even if Sophie Wilson spoke up, no one would believe her.
Grace Wilson really stepped up her game.
Sophie Wilson sneered internally; since Grace Wilson wanted to do this, how could she not help her achieve it?
"Grace, didn’t we agree just now?" Sophie furrowed her brow, asking Grace Wilson puzzledly, "Why didn’t you dodge?"
As soon as Sophie said this, Julian Campbell’s brow slightly furrowed; that remark sounded a bit resentful from aunty.
"I reacted too slowly." Grace Wilson apologized with a good temper.
"Then I’ll go slower in the next take, how about that?" Sophie tried to negotiate with Grace Wilson.
"Sure, I’m really sorry." Grace Wilson apologized sincerely.
"Alright, let’s quickly touch up the makeup and do it again." The director didn’t want to escalate the situation, considering he didn’t want to offend either side.
One was recommended by Ophelia Wilson, and the other was chosen by Julian Campbell and Benjamin Smith.
It was tough being the director in this situation.
In the second take, Sophie’s hand rose up and then slapped down hard.
This time, Sophie knew it was even harder than before, and her hand hurt from the impact.
This time Grace Wilson fell even harder, and there was no sign of acting; it was a real fall.
Grace Wilson hadn’t even spoken before Sophie exclaimed: "Heavens, why didn’t you dodge again?"
Grace’s mind was in a daze; that hit was so hard it made her dizzy, and she saw stars.
It took her a while to regain her senses, realizing Sophie had hit her again.
"Are you alright?" Sophie asked with concern.
"I’m—I’m fine." Grace Wilson truly didn’t expect Sophie would hit so hard, it even brought tears to her eyes.
"Director, should I have continued acting just now?" Sophie suddenly thought of something and turned to the director with an apologetic look.
"No way." The director said with a stern face, "Grace stood in the wrong position just now."
"Next time, if you can’t dodge, just move on with the lines." The director, having been in this circle for years, could easily see through Grace’s little tricks.
Only Grace Wilson thought she was smart playing her little games.
"Okay." Sophie nodded and smiled apologetically at the director.
The director sighed internally; this Grace Wilson was ruthless too, just for a role, she was willing to mess herself up and ruin Sophie’s reputation, really pushing it.
"Let’s touch up the makeup first." Julian Campbell said, "Sophie, let me talk to you about the positioning." Dıscover more novels at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
In front of others, Sophie had told Julian not to call her aunty.
Julian pulled Sophie aside to a secluded corner, lowering his voice as he reminded her: "Aunty, Grace is doing it on purpose. She’s probably planning to say you deliberately slapped her on set later."
Aunty wasn’t familiar with the entertainment circle, as there were some dark dealings, unlike those in regular workplaces.
Moreover, uncle protected aunty so well; how could she know these dirty tricks?
Of course, he had to remind her, so she wouldn’t fall for it.
"Yeah, I know." Sophie gave Julian an innocent smile, looking very sincere.
Julian nearly choked on his own saliva: "You—you know?"
