Chapter 40 It Was All for Celia As soon as Alora sent the message, she received a call from the head director. “Alora, where are you now?” “I am so glad that you are willing to act as the second female lead.” “Are you free now? Come to Film City. I will get someone to explain the script to you!” “No need to bother,” Alora said with a frown. She had done many years of script analysis and did not need anyone’s help at all. The director on the other side of the line paused. “You still have to come to Film City, so I can give you the script.” The woman hesitated for a moment before agreeing. The director asked her to meet in the meeting room on the third floor of Film City’s administration building. When she entered the meeting room, she found that not only was the chief director waiting for her, but also the producer and the assistant director… And in the middle of these big shots was the man she didn’t want to see at all – Truett. Seeing her come in, Truett smiled at her from afar. “Alora, I’m very happy that you are willing to play this role.” “I believe that with your strength, you should be able to fit in with this role very quickly.” Alora only felt her vision go black. Why did Truett appear in front of her when she was only here to take the script? “Mr. Uriel is really dedicated and takes good care of our new star!” “Alora, when Truett heard that you were coming back to get the script, he pushed off today’s shoot to personally guide you!” “Since you have agreed to play this role, there will be a lot of scenes with Truett in the future. You should take some time to get along with him.” As he spoke, he moved to the seat beside Truett and gestured for Alora to sit down. “Alora, congratulations. You have just become an official actress and you already have such a good teacher as Truett!” The word “teacher” made Alora laugh. “Should I call you Professor Uriel now?” she asked as she looked into Truett’s eyes. When they first started dating, Truett was a small artist who hadn’t even been admitted to the acting profession
After they got together, she guided Truett step by step on how to film and improve his acting skills. She personally checked out every scene of his and helped him analyze the script. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Now, Truett had put on a generous attitude and wanted to be her teacher? How ironic! “I can’t be considered a teacher.” Probably feeling her conflicting emotions, Truett smiled and moved his chair, keeping a distance from Alora. “But we can help each other.” “In the future, if you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. If there is anything I don’t understand, I will discuss it with you.” Only then did Alora understand that Truett was setting her up. Previously, no matter what he said, she did not agree to continue the script analysis for him. Now, he actually used this reason to “communicate with her? However, even if she knew what he was thinking, in front of so many people, it was not good for her to expose him on the spot. So she sneered and lowered her head to read the script. For a whole day, Alora ignored Truett. She did not ask Truett any questions related to the script. When Truett asked her, she just casually said that she did not understand. After reading the script, Truett took the initiative to take the same lift with Alora when they got off work at night. There were only the two of them in the lift. Alora was a little annoyed. She lowered her head, took out her phone, and started to browse Weibo. Unexpectedly, she found that there was one post on Weibo today – “Truett Uriel Taught Alora Van How to Act.” She frowned and clicked on it. What was posted on Weibo was the photo of her and Truett sitting in the conference room, studying the script. There were also a few photos of her sitting very close to Truett.
The caption was: Who wouldn’t love a gentle little brother like Truett? Alora and Truett looked like lovers! When was this photo taken? The woman bit her lips and directly turned off her phone. She looked up at Truett who was standing not far away from her. “The photo was taken by your people, right? Did you also spread the news online?” “It was Celia’s idea.” Truett looked at the front indifferently. There was no longer the gentleness in his eyes. “Now, if we spread more news about you and me on the Internet, it will distract the attention from Celia.” “After everyone has forgotten what happened yesterday, Celia can come back.” Alora sucked in a breath of cold air. “So, your performance in front of me today… was all because of Celia?” He really had deep feelings for Celia. They had been together for a full five years. Not only was Truett unwilling to announce the news of their relationship, he even had to cover up the existence of Alora. After being together with Celia, he immediately made it public. Now that something had happened to Celia, he actually used his ex-girlfriend as a shield? Her heart grew colder and colder. “It’s not all for Celia.” “It’s also for you, for me.” Truett smiled faintly. “After this incident, the netizens will like me more and think that I am a very responsible and kind man.” “You can also use this matter to jump from a stunt double to an official actress.” “Three birds with one stone. Alora, you must cooperate with me.” The lift arrived on the first floor. “Cooperate with you? Dream on!” The woman spat out these words fiercely. She carried her backpack and strode out. At the door of Film City, it was cold and cheerless. Alora stood by the side of the road and waited for a long time, but there was no taxi coming over. “I’ll send you off.” The black BMW stopped beside her, and the window rolled down, revealing Truett’s face. He took off his sunglasses and looked at her with a smile on his lips. “Last time, you said that you and your husband lived in a villa area. My car is too shabby, and I can’t get in.” As he said that, he looked
around and smiled. “What? The Mr. Rowan who loves you as much as his life, actually doesn’t give you a car?” Alora rolled her eyes at him, walked around his car, and continued to hail a taxi by the roadside. However, there were too few taxis. Half an hour later, there was still none passing by. It gradually darkened. “It will get dark soon, and there are still a lot of mosquitoes at night in Film City.” Truett leaned against the car window elegantly, a mocking smile on his lips. “Although my car is shabby, for the sake of your face, why don’t you make do with it?” “Alora, you have never been an official actress before. You don’t know how important an actress’ face is.” “If a mosquito bites your face later… Tsk, tsk, tsk, you will be scolded to death by the director.” Alora rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and walked in the direction of the Rowan family’s villa with her backpack. Without a taxi, she could walk back. However, with every step she took, Truett’s car would follow. Alora quickened her pace, and Truett’s car ran faster. If she walked slowly, the car would run slowly. Finally, Truett said tiredly, “Alora, I almost believed what you said. I thought that Mr. Rowan, that pervert, was really good to you.” “Now it seems…” “You got off work so late, but he didn’t arrange a car to pick you up. You didn’t have a good life after marrying him.” “Why don’t you resume our relationship?” The man raised his hand and touched his chin proudly. “You and Celia don’t interfere with each other. How about it?”
