Seeing that it was about time, Skye Brown suggested that she and Lily Gray head to the film set together.
Lily shook her head, “Never mind, I’d rather stay in the lounge.”
It would be terrible if she ran into David Redington outside.
With some annoyance, Skye pulled her up, “Lily, what are you afraid of… If you don’t like him, just reject him directly. This film still has a few months of shooting left, are you going to hide all the time?”
“What are you talking about, refusing or not refusing! Don’t say nonsense!”
Lily knew Skye was right, and running away was not a good solution.
But how could she refuse him?
If David confessed his feelings for her, it would be easy to reject him.
But now, David didn’t say anything at all.
Every day, he just silently stared at her and treated her well without saying a word.
Under these circumstances, should she just take the initiative and tell him, “Hey, don’t fall for me, I have a husband.”?
Tsk, just thinking about that scene made her feel awkward.
“Sigh, never mind, your situation is indeed bothersome. Most of the investments and sponsors for our drama came from David’s connections, besides the Wellington family. Besides, you are right, if he doesn’t say anything, you can’t take the initiative either.”
“Alright, since we are good friends, don’t worry. I’ll keep these things with me, and from now on, I’ll try my best to shield you from the heartthrob, okay?”
With Skye’s assurance, Lily finally gathered the courage to follow her to the film set.
Actually, as this was her first time as a producer, she needed to learn a lot on the set.

Soon, today’s first scene began.
David, as the male lead, and Ella Reed, as the female lead, were already waiting on set.
Skye quickly started instructing them on their roles.
Sitting on the side, Lily noticed that once David was immersed in work, he wouldn’t look at her anymore.
That was a relief. It eased her tension.
She couldn’t help but sit and observe the situation on the set.
Her gaze was unconsciously drawn to Skye, who was seriously talking about the roles.
When Skye was silent, her dimples made her look sweet and soft.
But her personality was worlds apart from her appearance.
Having lost her mother’s protection at a young age, Skye had become incredibly independent and strong.
At this moment, as she was fully focused on her work, she seemed even more capable and free-spirited.
The scene being directed now was a group scene.
In the movie, the emperor was played by David, and he was now dressed in his royal costume, sitting in the Imperial Garden.
Ella Reed, who played the heroine, hid among the crowd of consorts, lowering her head and secretly glancing at the young emperor who had just ascended the throne.
There were also numerous supporting roles of other consorts.
According to the original story, this scene was meant to showcase the many beautiful women in the harem, competing in their charm.
Originally, in this scene, even the important supporting characters’ lines were quite few, apart from the male and female leads.
But in reality, there were unexpected complications.
“Cut!” Skye had already called for the seventh cut.
“Olivia Campbell, what’s going on? Are your eyes full of sand or were you born with bad vision? Can you stop blinking at the camera non-stop? It’s not only tiring for you, but the audience is tired of it, too!”
Again, it was Olivia Campbell.
Hearing Skye’s words, Lily, who was sitting on the side, felt helpless and wanted to facepalm.
Olivia was the recent newcomer strongly promoted by the Wellington family.
Among the many beauties belonging to the Wellington family, Olivia was considered top-tier in terms of appearance and figure.
But the problem was.
Olivia was a completely brainless beauty with no talent..
