Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 177: A Worrisome Co-star

-Some Hours Earlier-

"Young master, why are we out so early? It’s barely five am." Gilbert yawned as he stared out the window of the moving car. He turned his head to Thane, who was surprisingly behind the wheel.

"And why are you driving? I can do it just fine." He asked.

Thane responded, "It’s Brooke’s first day at filming, I want to take her to the location. But it’s been a while since I drove myself."

Gilbert grinned from ear to ear, "I thought you were working from home, I didn’t realize you had returned." He stated, wearing an all knowing look.

Thane dry coughed, "I changed my mind."

"Very quickly." Gilbert chimed. "I wouldn’t have believed that the young master from last night would listen to anyone, it makes me wonder what...who could’ve changed his mind."

Thane tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "Gilbert, about last night, I apologize for speaking to you that way."

Gilbert blinked twice, taken aback by hearing Thane apologize. "Young master you don’t need to, you were right. I have no say over your personal matters, I was overstepping my boundaries."

"No, you weren’t." He sighed, "I have always relied on your judgement, because you’re one of the most valuable people around me. When I’m in over my head, you’re there to remind me of what’s truly important to me. Thank you, it means a lot to me."

A smile crept onto Gilbert’s lips, "It seems you won’t be needing my judgement any longer, I’d say you’re capable of making your own decisions quite nicely. Not to mention you have Mrs Grayson to help you."

Thane grinned, he knew that the entire staff must’ve heard him and Brooke at the dining table, and everyone must be fully aware of his relationship with her.

Something he always wanted.

"And who knows, there could be an added family member on the way." Gilbert teased.

But Thane shook his head, "I couldn’t do that to Brooke. She’s at an important part of her career, as much as I’d love to start a family together, I have to support her dream."

Gilbert agreed, "I did some investigation on all the cast members, aside Damien, I don’t think there’s anyone famous enough to spark any controversy."

Thane raised a brow, "Damien?" He was certain he had heard the name but couldn’t place a face to it.

"He’s the son of businessman..." Gilbert gave a detailed rundown of Damien, and barely had he finished than Thane furrowed his brows.

"And he’s co-staring with Brooke?" Thane asked, a hint of irritation in his voice.

Gilbert shook his head, "No, Mrs Grayson’s co-star is a rookie actor, and just like Mrs Grayson this will be his debut film. It seems he was handpicked by the director, so he might be a relative of some sort." He filled Thane in.

Thane kept a straight face, "Go on." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Gilbert scratched the back of his head, "There isn’t much to brief on him, I didn’t pay too much attention, he’s still just a kid, I think two or three years younger than Mrs Grayson."

"I see." Thane replied, "What sort of role is his?"

Considering that Brooke was meant to act the female lead initially, Thane had judiciously read through Brooke’s interactions with Damien, and was pleased with the writing.

There was just a kiss scene at the end, an interrupted kiss scene. But now, with the roles changed, he was clueless on her interaction with her new co-star.

Gilbert rolled his tongue around his mouth, trying to recall the script. "I think he plays the role of a bodyguard to Mrs Grayson’s character, who later turns out to be the son of the antagonist, sent undercover. He goes on a rampage when Mrs Grayson’s character dies in his arms."

Thane nodded, "Ah, so it’s a tragic role." Thane noted, pleased that he was worried over nothing.

However, he quickly stepped on the brakes and pulled the car over when Gilbert pointed out another role of Brooke’s co-star.

"He and Mrs Grayson don’t really have a lot of dialogue in the script-"

Thane interjected, "That’s a given, she plays a sickly princess, there isn’t much she can-" his words were cut off sharply when Gilbert said...

"There’s no need for much dialogue since they have sex in almost every scene together." He sheepishly recalled, little did he expect the young master to swiftly pull over by the closest side walk.

"Young master!" Gilbert cried out, his hand on his chest.

Thane turned to him, "My wife is having what in this movie?!" He raised his voice, clearly bothered with the role Brooke would be playing.

-Present-

Gilbert watched as Thane had his arms wrapped around his wife’s waist, as though he hadn’t spent the last hour reading her script in his car.

He shook his head, wondering how filming was going to be. Looking behind the couple in love, he noticed Hannah step out of the mansion, and immediately straightened his back. He stole a glance at himself from the car’s sideview mirror, and cursed himself for not wearing his dark blue glasses.

Hannah walked over to the couple and tapped Brooke on the shoulder.

"Mrs Grayson, I am so sorry to interrupt, but I just got a call from the set, and they’ve moved up the time of filming, you have to get ready and be at the location in an hour for your first take." Hannah informed her, breaking up the reunion.

"What? Why?" Brooke asked, pulling away from the hug.

Hannah responded sharply, "It seems like there’s going to be a change in schedule. I don’t have the details penned down, but if seems that Damien has voiced out a complaint about the filmig schedule. You have to go down there immediately to find out what’s happening exactly."

Gilbert noticed the frown on Thane’s deep frown at the mention of Damien, and huffed inwardly, afraid of how the filming for the movie would end up .
