Female Novel
Chapter 273
Quintessa was seriously miffed. This kiss scene? The director hadn't mentioned a peep about it beforehand. Yet Jonathan seemed to be in the loop, leaving her mentally cursing him out numerous times over. The director decided to beef up Quintessa's role, throwing in some romantic scenes between Queen Seraphina and the King to flesh out her character and lay bare all her emotional experiences for the audience. It should have been great news, but thinking back to Jonathan's smug look the day before made Quintessa want to kick him right then and there. How did he know about it before she did? Meanwhile, Cynthia was hiding behind a prop rock, watching the two of them, her face as pale as a ghost. It was hard to tell if she was acting or if the emotions were real.
The script didn't call for a deep kiss, and they could have easily faked it with some clever positioning. Initially, that was the plan. But seconds in, Jonathan flashed a grin. Before Quintessa could even process it Jonathan pressed his thin lips against hers.
Quintessa was livid, thinking, "You've got to be kidding me!"
From her angle, she could see Cynthia behind the prop, who looked ghostly white and trembled; Quintessa almost wished she could bite Jonathan without mercy. Was he trying to get her killed?
Tyrone, catching sight of their kiss, took a few quick steps forward, ready to launch at Jonathan and whisk Quintessa away. But then he stopped himself, staring daggers at them, and reminded himself to stay cool.
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Look at this guy, not bad. Got some restraint!"
The scene started with a few lines of dialogue and ended in silence. The director, timing it just right, called it a wrap.
Before anyone could react, Tyrone strode forward, pushing through the crowd, not caring whom he brushed past, and stormed up to Quintessa. He shoved Jonathan aside, giving his knee a quick jab, and pulled Quintessa into his arms.
Quintessa looked up, surprised, "Why are you here?"
So that was the eerie feeling she had; it was all Tyrone's doing.
Tyrone's face was stone cold, "Had I not come, I wouldn't have seen you two making a fool out of me."
Jonathan adjusted his clothing, chuckling, "It's just acting, part of the job."
Tyrone glared at him, "Shut it."
Jonathan, ever the charmer, smiled, "But hey, you've got patience. I thought you'd jump in right away."
Tyrone snorted, "You think I'm fricking stupid? Letting you two have a do-over so you can kiss again?"
He had held back just for that they didn't nail the e the director w scene take, surely ask for a second, meaning another Kiss.
Quintessa couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.
Tyrone, livid, grumbled, "Still laughing. I haven't even settled with you two."
Quintessa spread her hands in a gesture of innocence, "What's there to settle? We were just following the script. If you can't handle this, what will you do when we get to the love scenes?" Besides, what were they anyway? Not boyfriend and girlfriend. Why the fuss?
She just let out a smile, holding backnovelbin

Jonathan nodded in agreement,
"Exactly. I'll talk to the director m Maybe we should add another love scene."
Tyrone shot him a dark look,
"Jonathan, you looking to end things? Just say the word, and I'll oblige."
