Female Novel
Chapter 732
Pearl noticed that Silas was beginning to flirt with the innocent girl, so she couldn't help but slap herforehead. Some things never change!
"I didn't," Celine said. She had never dated before because she had many suitors, but she wasn'tinterested in any of them. Now, with this handsome guy flirting with her, her heart was racing.
"Alright, stop teasing her. Celine is shy. Get ready because I'll take you somewhere to film a shortclip."
Silas frowned. "So soon?"
"Of course. I have an idea for the theme of the shoot," Pearl responded. Since it was a contractualrelationship, they should do it while it was still hot.
"What's the theme?"
Pearl slapped her thigh. "A day in the life of a school bully and the innocent top student."
Silas frowned even harder and pointed to himself. "You want me to play the school bully?"
"What? That's just you being yourself."
"What do you mean, being myself? I stopped being that a long time ago, okay?" He hadn't been aschool bully for years.
"I don't care if you are. It's a good theme." Pearl wasn't going to let him back out, so she made himan offer. "If you willingly do this video, I'll let you drive me home tonight."
Silas smiled happily. "Your place or mine?"
Pearly knocked his head. "I mean I'll give you the chance to drop me off!"
Watching them bickering, Celine suddenly realized that on screen, she was the female lead, but inreality, she was an outsider. She bit her lip, and a flash of resentment crossed her face.
She had been spoiled since childhood. Why was she being ignored now?
Pearl was so focused on putting Silas in his place that she didn't notice the change in Celine'sexpression. It was only when she caught a glimpse of the girl's dark mood from the corner of hereye that she realized she had gone too far.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go to the venue. I've already contacted the cameraman."
Pearl didn't say anything more, and they got into a car to drive there.
The cameraman, Hugh Benson, was Pearl's friend she had met abroad. He had recently returned totheir country and wasn't currently involved in any projects, so Pearl had asked for his help.
Hugh was so used to living abroad that when he saw Pearl, he immediately pulled her into a hug,tightly enveloping her in his arms. "It's been a while, Pearl. Did you miss me?"
Silas felt annoyed by how casually this man acted and quickly went over to pull them apart. "Keepyour distance. How dare you just grab her like that?"
Silas lived up to his nickname of "the devil," and his angry tone was certainly intimidating.
"Silas, he's our cameraman for today, so you should show some respect."
Hugh didn't mind because he could tell Silas had a crush on Pearl. He smiled brightly and teased, "Inever thought you'd attract young people too."novelbin
