Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 839 - 835: Vicious Supporting Actress

Edward Harrison looked at her with the usual indulgent gaze, while Sophie Smith just felt a bit awkward. She deliberately tilted her head back to take a few sips of water, her gaze falling on a camera set up not far away.

"The last time we met, we didn’t have time to really talk," Edward said with a hint of regret. "It seems like ever since you took on the movie City of Desire, we haven’t had many chances to chat properly."

Yes, City of Desire had changed her so much, but looking back now, she didn’t regret that transformation, because she met the most important person.

During the daytime shooting, Sophie felt particularly at ease. Edward was a partner who completely clicked with her. In every scene they shot together, Sophie felt like she was replaying some moment of their youthful days. Her performance was spot on, nailing it in one take without NG.

However, when it came to the evening scenes, Sophie wasn’t so lucky.

Isabella Yates had a scene opposite Sophie that night. Alright, Sophie couldn’t deny that Isabella was playing a vicious supporting role, so it seemed like she would have to brace herself for a rough time.

This scene depicted Sophie and Edward as a couple deeply in love during their college days, but the second female lead, played by Isabella, had secretly had a crush on Edward’s character for a long time. So at night, she happened to encounter Sophie and decided to give her a warning.

To complement the vulnerable, helpless atmosphere of the female lead, this outdoor scene was specially chosen to be filmed with artificial rain. Indeed, the effect might be better on a rainy night.

It was a simple scene, with Isabella having only five lines of dialogue.

The director, holding the clapperboard, shouted ’action’, and filming officially began after the clapboard.

Sophie walked out of the academic building without an umbrella, holding her purse over her head as she dashed into the rain.

Isabella and a few extras appeared in Sophie’s line of sight, holding umbrellas.

They had a haughty demeanor.

"Summer, I think it’s necessary to give you some advice, I..."

Isabella hadn’t finished her line before she got stuck.

"Cut!" The director said helplessly, "Touch up Sophie’s makeup and reshoot."

Sophie had no choice but to head into the makeup room.

She was soaked through by the artificial rain and felt quite uncomfortable on this chilly evening.

After getting her makeup done and changing her clothes, Sophie left without lingering, ready to reshoot.

The second time, Isabella stumbled on the second line.

The director’s expression was already showing signs of impatience. Was she even professional if she couldn’t remember such simple lines?

By the third time Isabella messed up, Sophie finally understood Isabella’s intention. She was deliberately making things difficult for her. Indeed, because of her intentional troublemaking, Sophie had already spent nearly an hour getting drenched in the night rain.

She walked into the makeup room for the third time, and Isabella followed her in.

She had an umbrella, so only the back hem of her skirt was a little wet.

She changed into a new skirt and sat down beside Sophie, staring at her with a contemptuous gaze for a long time.

But, honestly, what gave her the right to look at me like that?

"Isabella, I know you have issues with me, but considering we were once roommates and you’re now Edward’s girlfriend, I’ll give you some advice," Sophie calmly dried her hair, looking at herself in the mirror as she slowly spoke. "If you insist on not finishing this scene, I reckon the director will start to question your professionalism as an actress. It’s quite likely that no one will dare hire you in the future."
