Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 181

Meanwhile, silvery flashes of light formed in a dark corner.

The camera shutters clicked rapidly and soon, a phone call was made.

“I’ve gotten the pics and I’ll send them to you now. Remember your promise.”

…

Since filming was going to take place the next day, the gathering ended early.

It was not even 9:00 pm, but it was over.

After dinner, everyone retired to their rooms.

However, when Nell got back to her room, she received a phone call from Hannah.

She had not been at the company lately, so everything at Xinghui had been passed on to Hannah.

After all, there were not many artistes signed under Xinghui at the moment. If anything occurred, Lucy Katz would have phoned her. A handful of other employees were still new and inexperienced. Hannah had worked by her side for years and already knew how to deal with any extenuating circumstances.

Nell was rather shocked to receive the phone call and thought something wrong had happened at the company. When she answered the call, she heard Hannah’s panicky voice.

“Elder Sister Nelly, take a look at Weibo now. You’re a hot topic there.”

Nell was taken aback.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m not sure either, I just saw it. It’s about what happened at the film set. Have a look at it first.”

Nell said yes and opened Weibo.

She noticed #Celine&Nellreconciliation# as the hot topic.

She tapped on it and saw a video.

It was a video of Celine being interviewed by the reporters at the opening ceremony.

At that time, Nell was standing beside her and showed no objection. Moreover, both women stood near the red signature backdrop, and from the video’s angle, it seemed as if the two of them were standing very close to each other.

To someone who was not present at the ceremony, he would have thought that the two women had reconciled based on this video.

Nell smirked coldly.

‘Was this your idea all along, Celine?’

Using her elder sister to clear her own name?

Hannah did not hear from her for most of the day and was unsure whether she had seen that video.

She spoke hastily on the phone, “Elder Sister Nelly, what on earth is going on? Before you became part of the film crew, you told me that if I receive any news about Celine Jennings, I should inform you right away. But now, the first piece of news is about both of you. Have… Have you two really reconciled?”

Nell responded flatly, “No.”

“What about this video…”

“It was all an act by her in front of the reporters,” Nell said as she logged out of Weibo. Then, she removed her jacket.

“Leave that topic be. Ignore it.”

“Huh?” Hannah was bewildered. “It’s apparent that she’s using you. She tramples on you to clear her own name. Are… Are you going to let her trample on you?”

“Of course not.”

Nell chuckled. “I have a solution to this. The more she clears her name, the more fun there will be when she gets smeared in return later. Don’t worry! You may ignore this issue.”

Hannah relaxed after listening to Nell.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Have a good rest.”

“Mm.”

“That’s great. This is a critical point in time and nothing must go wrong in your relationship with Young Master Morton. Or else, you’ll land yourself in a tight spot. As long as you are the future daughter-in-law of the Morton family, no matter what happens here, you still have a backup plan.”

Celine nodded. Following that, she darted her gaze and let out a cold laugh.

“A backup plan? Perhaps… Soon enough, it’s not just the Mortons.”

Skylar was puzzled and did not get her meaning.

Nonetheless, it was obvious that Celine refused to explain to her. It was getting late, so she began to shoo Skylar away.

“Alright, it’s late and I want to rest. You should do the same, too.”

Skylar decided not to say anything else and left.

The next day, work began.

A scene between Nell and George would be shot in the morning, thus, Nell arrived early at the set.

It took more than two hours to get her makeup, hairdo and costume ready.

Filming officially began at 9:30 am.

It might be Nell’s very first time acting on set, but she had taken several artistes under her wings for a few years and visited numerous film sets. As a result, she had gained some knowledge simply by watching and learning.

Hence, she was not too nervous. On the contrary, George’s diction was quite stiff as it was his first time acting in a historical drama, thus he met with several NGs.

Tim Coombs did not have a good temper. After many NGs, he started to scold George.

George looked glum after getting scolded. Nell chuckled and cheered him on in a low voice, “You can do it! Go through your lines in your mind first. Once you’ve gotten them right, we shall begin.”

George looked at her gratefully. He improved a lot in subsequent scenes.

When Celine arrived at the film set, Nell and George were filming a scene together. In that scene, the male and female leads had just met each other. Like a pair of frenemies, Nell was to slap George, and the latter was supposed to grab hold of her hand, followed by the two of them collapsing on the ground.
