Female Novel
Chapter 270
James couldn't help but curse Tyrone from head to toe in his mind. What on earth was the boss thinking?novelbin
Under Tyrone's intimidating influence, James had no choice but to forcibly add a business trip to Zion City to the schedule. Feeling puzzled, James went to ask Kevin about it.
Kevin burst into laughter upon hearing this: "You're clueless, man. It's obviously because Quintessa is filming in Zion City."
"But if the boss wants to go there, why didn't he just go? Why make me add it to the company's agenda?"
Kevin shook his head: "You don't understand the mind of someone who's too proud to admit their feelings."
Kevin tapped the desk and explained: "Going alone is like saying 'I want to see you', but using the company's name is like saying 'I don't want to see you, but since I'm here on business, I might as well drop by', get it?"
James' mouth twitched: "Seriously, would it kill him to just say 'I want to see you"?"
"It wouldn't kill him, but he'd be embarrassed."
Meanwhile, Quintessa took a two-hour flight to Zion City. Upon arrival, she barely had time to drop off her luggage before being summoned to the set by Director Frost.
The production was fraught with setbacks, and the incident involving Roxanne had left Director Frost on edge, so much so that he was ready to lash out. The financial loss was one thing, but the real concern was the possibility of not meeting the broadcast schedule.
With the reshoot schedule being tight, Director Frost made it clear that there was no room for mistakes. More than three mistakes in a scene, and you're out.
Quintessa thought to herself, if Director Frost knew she was behind Roxanne's mishap, he'd probably kill her.
At that thought, Quintessa couldn't help but smile.
Someone whispered in her ear, "What's so funny?"
The voice was deep and magnetic. Without looking, Quintessa knew who it was; it was unmistakable. She turned her head slightly and plied,
"Uncle Jonathan."
Jonathan Winters' face lit up with a warm smile. "Uncle it is, then. It's been a while, how have you been?"
Quintessa shrugged, "Haven't you been following Twitter? I'm currently the most controversial actress."
Jonathan laughed, "You seem to be taking it well."
"What choice do I have? It's not like I can let the criticisms kill me."
"I've been thinking about producing a movie recently, and there's a role that might suit you. Interested in giving it a try?"
Quintessa raised an eyebrow, "Is this the reward for calling you uncle?"
After the director finished his instructions, Jonathan said, "Consider it that. We'll talk more after you're done with the shoot."
Once the filming resumed, Quintessa finally met the new lead actress, Cynthia Rosenberg. Though Cynthia wasn't as beautiful as Roxanne, she had a better novel.net demeanor, as she politely introdu herself to Quintessa. Their
interaction was neither too friendly nor arrogant. It was was rumored that Cynthia came from a well-connected En.
family that nobody dared mess with.
The scenes went smoothly, and Cynthia's acting was decent, making their collaboration tolerable.
During the break, Cynthia sat next to Quintessa and asked, "Are you and ve Mr. Winters close?" "Not really."
"But it seems to me that out of everyone here, Mr. Winters prefers talking to you the most."
Quintessa replied with a half-smile, "Men are won over, not questioned. If I really liked him would you even have the chance to ask? He'd already be wrapped around my finger."
