Chapter 456 Congratulations
After a while, the shooting started. Before the shooting, the director Johansson walked up to Veronica and said, “Both of you have experience in martial arts, so you don’t need a martial arts instructor. Just improvise. However, you must remember that you are a villain and must lose to Stephen.”
They did the choreography yesterday, so Veronica knew how to be defeated. Before the shooting, she thought it would be difficult and would need to be reshot at least two dozen times. However, much to her surprise, she and Stephen had terrific chemistry as the scene went smoothly.
Veronica said her dialogues well. Soon, she was kicked by Stephen according to the script and fell from the second floor to her death. The director repeatedly asked whether she needed a wire harness. However, she rejected them.
There is a cushion underneath, so it won’t be dangerous. In the end, the fight scene was completed in just one take. “Cut!”
As the director called to stop, he stood up and applauded, and the others in the studio followed suit. “Such fun! Professionals are built differently.”
“So cool! That choreography is too cool!” “That’s right. I have a crush on her!” “That’s the real deal; it’s so amazing!”
…
Veronica wore a tight leather jacket and pants paired with high heels. With her short chin-length hair and black fingerless gloves, she looked like a powerful woman.
The movie character had short chin-length hair, and Veronica’s hair was a little longer than it, which was why she didn’t bother to wear a wig. Instead, she just had simple makeup with flaming red lipstick, and it made her look utterly sensual.
In addition, with the blessing of her own abilities, she could easily pass the take for the fight scene with Stephen. After the filming, Veronica got up from the ground when she heard the applause and reached out to wipe the blood on the corner of her mouth.
She had bit into a capsule to leak the fake blood from her mouth, in order to look like she had died. She then jogged over to the director and asked, “Director, how was it? Is there something I should take note of?”
“Very well. You did well, so we don’t have to retake.” He patted Veronica’s shoulder and gave her a thumbs up. “You are talented. I never thought that you were good at acting.”
“Hey, what do you mean she is good at acting? It’s just beginner’s luck.” Larry came over to tease her, but he still praised, “It’s all thanks to your chemistry with Stephen. In addition, you have only three lines, so it was alright, I guess.”
After being praised by the Oscar-winning actor Larry, as well as Johansson, Veronica was surprised. “Really?”
She felt that it was unbelievable.
“Larry is right. We can use this take because of your martial arts skill and luck. But, of course, you have to thank Stephen for cooperating with you.”
Johansson agreed with Larry.
“That’s great!”
Veronica was ecstatic, and her heart was pounding with excitement.
Initially, she thought she would be scolded by Johansson and temporarily replaced by the former actress. However, everything turned out smoothly.
Stephen then came down from the second floor, and Veronica walked over to give him a big hug. “Thank you, Stephen.”
The gentleman hugged her, and then they let go of each other. He smiled and said, “It’s so cool to act in a fight scene with you.” He shrugged as he added, “If every actor in the fight scene knows how to fight, it would be easy for all.”
As an experienced actor, Stephen had seen too many stars who couldn’t do wire stunts for fight scenes, as it was too hard for them.
Veronica curled her red lips and smiled but said nothing.
These days, it was not a requirement to practice martial arts. Although Stephen’s requirements were reasonable, finding a skilled martial artist was too hard.
“Come on, let’s take a photo together!”
Larry came over with his cell phone, and the trio took a photo.
Veronica couldn’t hide her excitement, so she posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, ‘It’s an honor to act with the one and only Stephen. I’m so lucky!’
She never thought that she would act with Stephen. However, it really happened, so Veronica was very excited and happy.
She had nothing to do in the morning, so she stayed with the crew and watched Larry and Stephen act.
After the production was done at noon, they had lunch together.
“These two days, Stephen has a lot of work, but I am free. Can you be my tour guide and show me around Bloomstead?” Larry said to Veronica while eating.
Stephen, who was eating too, frowned. “No, you must bring me along as well. I can ask the director for leave. He will agree to my delay.”
With his relationship with the director, Stephen could quickly get a two-day leave.
Veronica was speechless upon hearing that. “I-I don’t think this is a great idea.”
She thought Stephen was too friendly.
However, it was fun to interact with him, so she was happy as well.
“Don’t worry; it’s a great idea.”
Stephen raised his eyebrows and smiled happily.
…
At the same time, Matthew sat in the executive chair in the Spinfluence Group. He stared at the photo on the phone screen as he closed the documents on the table. Looking at Veronica’s bright and sensual smile as she stood with two handsome men made Matthew jealous.
Matthew unhappily threw his phone on the table with a bang, his expression becoming thunderous.
D*mn it! Why can she easily attract men? It’s only been a few days since she met them, and they are getting so friendly now!
Matthew was furious, and he felt a headache coming on.
He paced back and forth in the office as he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. He also repeatedly picked up and put down his phone.
In the end, he still dialed Veronica’s number.
After a few beeps, Veronica answered, “What’s the matter?”
It was Veronica’s familiar voice. This was the exact woman who gave Matthew countless sleepless nights.
Hearing that voice made him go crazy.
Only God knew how much he missed her these days.
Although they had just met in the Kings Residence, Matthew’s longing for Veronica grew like vines after he saw the photo of her with two men.
It made him crazy, so he couldn’t help but call her.
However, after Veronica answered the call, it was like a wake-up call for Matthew after he heard her indifferent voice.
He pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Why is she so indifferent to me? Why doesn’t she treat other men the same?
“Where are you?” Matthew demanded.
