George couldn’t stop thecking his phone after he got to Hosewood City. He’d even stare at the blank screen, totally lost in thought. Classic move for a guy in
Meanwhile, over in Phoenix City, at the filming location, the camera zoomed in on Allegra and Ollie, who were gearing up for a kiss, Allegra had already gotten into the right headspace, and Ollie was chatting her up, trying to break the ice and avoid any awkwardness.
The dapperhoard guy yelled, “Scene three, shot ime, take two, action!TM
They snapped into character right away.
For this scene, they just had to go straight for the kiss.
Ollie pinned Allegra against the wall, and just as their lips were abunit in meet, Allegra turned her head away again.
Allegra lowered her head and sand. “Sorry.”
Olle felt a hit awkward.
Lucius got up and walked straight over to them
He looked a bit ticked off. “Allegra,
a, come with mr.”
They walked out of the studio to a corner.
“Cut the kissing scene, get ready for the next one,” Lucins said, and Allegra looked surprised. She thought he was going to chew her out, especially since she had already held up

Everyone said Lucius was not only good–looking but also had the nickname the Devil because he was super strict about filming. It wasn’t unusual for him to demand hundreds of retakes if he wasn’t happy.
“No need,” Allegra stubbornly refused, and Lucius raised an eyebro
If you didnt want to do the kissing scene, you should’ve cut it before. I joined the crew. No need to delete it now, and I’m not taking the blame for this. With that. Allegra turned and went back to the studio, leaving Lucius stunned.
Originally, Allegra wasn t the lead actress in this script. The role change was sudden, and the script had already been reviewed three times. The investors had decided the script couldn’t be changed easily before filming started.
Even after filming began, changes could be made based on what happened on set.

Allegra turned away angrily
Olie quickly ran after her. “Allegra, wait up
Allegra shot him a glare.
“Sorry, I just… Ollie stammered, looking like a kid who got caught doing something wrong. “Mr. Orsini told me to be more bold during filming, to really get
into character.”
“Did he tell you to stick your tongue out? Allegra asked with a cold smile.
Ollie realized she was really mad, and her eyes were red.
“Mr. Orsini was just thinking about the script’s impact,” he said, trying to shift the blame.
Allegra let out a sarcastic laugh.
Just a moment ago, Lucius had said he’d help her cut the kissing scene, but now he was telling Ollie to be bold. She should’ve known how two–faced he was.
Back in the trailer, Allegra started taking off her makeup
Meanwhile, Hazel was already waiting outside the set. She had seen the kissing scene and knew Ollie did it on purpose.
She couldn’t help but notice that Lucius, sitting behind the monitor, looked even more

Seeing that there was no one else around, Allegra took off her hat, mask, and glasses,
Just as she sat down, the door opened.
“Kenna,” Allegra greeted.
Tenna walked in, looking a bit unfamiliar with Hazel.
“This is Hazel Astor, George…” Allegra paused, ‘She came to talk to me about a commercial endorsement.”
“When did you become so career minded?” Kenna teased, not minding Hazel’s presence.
“Miss Powell, please have a seat.” Hazel shook her hand graciously. I’m Hazel, the CEO of the Galaxy Group.”

She didnt krum Allegra before, so she didn’t expect her to be so candid. In her view, Allegra must have been very unooth in her dealings to reach the top in

Of course, she liked Allegra’s straightforwardness even more..
“The Galaxy Group was always in my father’s hands before. So I haven’t been in charge for long. Hazel explained directly, “I admit that the Galaxy Groups clothing had no highlights before, but our next season’s designs are about to go into mass production. Please take a look first.”
Allegra glanced at the design sketches handed over. She didn’t know much about Hazel, but she had heard that she had a particularly bad temper and a terrible reputation.
So in her mind, Hazel should have been a weak woman who clung to men, but she didn’t expect her to be so ambitious
