As Sam ranted, a hint of confusion flashed in Vinsons eyes.
He instinctively looked at Arelle, who was still conversing with Jordan. Then he patiently asked Sam.
Whaiâs happened?â
In mere seconds, Samâs voice roared from the phone. âSheâs the female lead of this disaster film, yet she
complained about her makeup being hideous. Then she beautified her makeup without consulting me or
any of the film crew members! Need I explain more? Weâre filmning a disaster film! How can our female
lead escape lifeâthreatening obstacles in fullâon costume and makeu? Even if we let that slide, another
issue arose earlier. She just refused to cooperate in filming the close up stunt scenesi She whined about
the harness being too uncomfortable to wear, the demanded a stunt double. Can you believe this? Itâs a
closeâup. for mercyâs sake!â
Vinson could already sense Samâs erupting anger from the phone.
However, he cast a subtle frown at Arielle after hearing the last part that Sam mentioned.
âWhat did you say... earlier? Just refused? When did this happen?
âSeconds ago. Right before I called you.â
âSeconds?â Vinson realized that something was off. He contemplated for a moment before asking.
âVahatâs the actressâ name?â
Sam replied, Shannle. Short for Shandie South
Vinsonâs frown intensified as he finally put the pieces together.
Now, he understood why Arielle said she wanted to star in a movie. He also realized why Sam was
madan Arielleâs outrageous demands on set.
Because thatâs not Arielle whoâs on selâItâs fucking Shandie!
âThat bâichiâ Vinson cursed in a growing yoice
Sam was confused at this. Before he couldak what was wrong. Vinson ended the call
Elsewhere, Shandieâs dramatic whines filled the set. âI already told you. I want a stunt double! Pronto!
Get me a stunt double, or Fil have Nightshire Group withdraw their investment in this filmi!â
Sam massaged his temples before tossing the script aside then the smarled in response to Shandile,
âThats it. I quitiâ
At the Jupitersâ residence
Arielle was enthusiastically chatting away with Jordan Between them, Harvey was brimming with rivalry
and kept interjecting their conversation
Truthülh All only wame la bo c a and be on her he way. However, she didnât get the chance to do it.
Just as she was getting desperate, she noticed Vinson from the corner of her eye. He stormed Over to
her with a grim expression
A moment later, Jordan was no longer standing before Arielle. Vinson had shoved him away and was
clutching Arielleâs hand. He ordered, âCorne with me!â
Then he led Arielle out of the Jupitersâ home before she could react.
Wait!
Jordan and Harvey yelled in unison el once. Just as they were going after Vinson, Carter extended his
arms and blocked them.
âSeriously...â Carter knitted his brows and asked, âHave you forgotten that we have important matters to
attend to
Right then, Jordan and Harvey remembered that the unconscious assassin was currently on his way to
the private hospital.
At the Sarrie time, Vinson had brought Arielle onto
âWhere are you taking me?â Arielle hissed in pain as she massaged her reddened wrist.
Must he be sa force
de yariks my wrist tightly
Beside her, Vinson frowned at the redness around Arielleâs wrist.
Is she made of une chwa or something? How can she be so fragile? ANI did was greb her wrist highly
Although she does resemble fine china in some ways, sheâs got the curves of a teapot and her skin is so
smooth...
His thoughts ran wild.
The way Vinson daydreamed about her made Arielle shift uncomfortably in the front passager seat.
She hid her wrist and asked once again Where are you taking me? If thereâs nothing urgent, Iâd like to go
home now.â
At this, Vinsonâs gaze drew away from her wrist and landed on her porcelbinâlike face instead. He stared
for a second before responding with a question of his own, âDo you want to be an actress?â
What?â Arielle asked while wide cyed.
Vinson replied casually. âseem to have messed up some things. You and I are heading over to correct
them.â
