Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 1011

Sugar was sitting on a chair, holding onto a thermal bottle while drinking some hot water. She was glaring at the group of extras and completely looked down on Joy, her supposed body double.

While she sat on the side, Sugar scoffed and mocked the other coldly, "Director, that body double doesn't even look like me. Can't you find someone who at least resembles me? I don't care, you need to fix it in post so the audience doesn't notice she's my body double."

The director scoffed as he softly cursed under his breath, "You wanted a double and yet you're asking for so much more, hmph."

"What did you say, director? I didn't quite catch that."

The director immediately spoke up louder, "Oh, I was saying that the body double doesn't resemble you at all but at least her body shape is somewhat similar to yours. Look, she's skinnier than you and not to mention, has fairer skin. The audience will no doubt even praise you that you look even prettier than usual when this movie airs!"

Everyone in the shoot lowered their heads and started laughing. It seemed the director knew how to make a comeback.

Sugar was furious as she snapped back at him, "What do you mean, director? Are you saying that this no-name female extra is more attractive than me?"

'She's fairer and much slimmer than you.'

Was he actually calling Sugar fat and ugly?

The director could not be bothered to continue arguing with her. Since Sugar was unable to vent her boiling anger, she sat down alone while hugging her arms, sulking.

After a brief moment, Sugar chuckled distastefully. "The Jinn Group's entertainment division invested in this movie’s production. Shayne and I are pretty close and he will no doubt want me to be a part of the main cast. Look, director, if you don't want me to act in this movie, you'll have to speak to President Jinn yourself."

The director gritted his teeth as he thought to himself, 'This woman sure knows how to pull out her 'President Jinn' card.'

Joy was a little stunned when she heard Sugar mention Shayne. She instinctively took another look at her.

Sugar had a fair, innocent, and sweet-looking face.

Joy did not expect Shayne to recently have such a kink.

It did not take long for Joy's makeup to be finished. Her fresh new look had completely surprised everyone on the scene as they kept staring at Joy in complete awe.

It seemed that Sugar had been instantly reduced to an insignificant extra in Joy's presence.

Joy's elegant beauty stood out too much. It was as if she was radiating pure beauty from every inch of her body, beyond the comprehension of mortal men.

She looked so beautiful that even the director who had dealt with countless people could not help but to be blown away by her. A surprising glint could be seen from his eyes.

The director patted Joy's shoulder and told her, "Now go out there and put on a good show."

Joy nodded without saying a word.

The film crew entered the freezer with her.

Since Joy was only wearing a thin dress, she shivered violently while her face turned pale as she sat on the cold freezer floor.

It seemed she did not even have to act since she was actually freezing.

It seemed making a thousand bucks was a real struggle. Joy was focused on counting sheep in her heart as she prayed that the director would call for a 'cut' when she reached a hundred.

It was icy cold, so much so that her teeth were chattering.

The director had shot the freezer scene for half an hour, so Joy had also spent half an hour in the freezer while only in a thin summer dress.

In the end, she was carried out by the film crew from the freezer after the scene was finished.

When Joy exited the freezer, her limbs were stiff while her lips turned purple. Her face also looked very pale.

The director took a glance at her. It actually seemed like she had been suffering. He asked in a concerned manner, "Are you okay?"

However, it seemed the first thing Joy asked was, "When will the thousand bucks be processed?"

Since the director was a friendly man, he burst out laughing after hearing what she had said. He then called the accountant over and said, "Process the payment for her later."

"Will do, director."

Joy felt so cold that white mist appeared as she spoke, "Thank you, director."

The director spoke with a smile, "Hurry up and get changed then."

Joy had made two thousand bucks that day. Feeling slightly lavish, she decided to call a cab home.

She gave Cindy a call when she entered the cab.

Cindy asked, "So how much did you make today?"

"Two thousand. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Shayne stared intensely at her as he stood up and strode over to her. He stared her down from his towering height as he said, "What's the matter? Judging from your reaction, I don't seem too welcomed here?"

Joy gulped and said, "No. I'm just not feeling too well today."

Shayne's towering body inched closer to her as he backed her against the door while staring at her with a dangerously menacing gaze before asking her, "Are you really not feeling well, or are you just trying to brush me off?"

Joy was speechless.

"Did you know that you'll have to repay your debts after gaining something from me?"

Joy remained silent.

Joy felt dizzy and when she stared at Shayne, her gaze seemed slightly unfocused, Shayne's face slowly appearing as a double vision to her.

Her head felt incredibly warm while her body was freezing.

Shayne pinched her chin as he called out to her, "Joy?"

Joy reached out to feel her forehead before speaking in a weak voice, "I think I'm sick, Shayne. Do whatever you want, I need to take a hot shower first."

However, just as Joy turned around and was about to leave, Shayne had somehow already pulled her back and into his arms.

His warm hand was covering her forehead.

The man frowned as he felt the scorching heat from Joy's forehead. He bent over and immediately carried her in his arms.

Joy clung onto her last inkling of consciousness as she asked in a soft and weak voice, "What are you doing?"

Shayne carried her out the door in his arms before lowering his head and quickly glancing at her as he spoke in a deep tone, "I'm bringing you to see a doctor. I’m not willing to date a woman with brain damage."

Joy buried her head into his warm chest as she mumbled in a weak tone, "Your body feels so warm, Shayne."

Shayne simply said “Yeah?” before lowering his gaze to look at her as he continued, "Do you like it then?"

Joy nuzzled up against his warm chest as she cracked a huge smile and said, "I don't think I can like you even more than this."

Shayne was a little stunned as he could not tell if she was speaking the truth or acting.
