Chapter 55 Hand Substitute

After the machine was repaired, Vivian was ready to shoot the next scene. The scene needed to be taken in the

water and it involved Lucy. And since her wounds hadn't completely healed, she had to use a substitute. Daryl

recalled the tthat she filmed scenes underwater and she remembered that the fear of being underwater

wasn't easy to overcat the beginning.

"Daryl, prepare for your next scene,"

Vivian reminded Daryl after she yelled "cut."

Daryl replied, "Yes, ma'am."

She had already memorized the script. The next scene was that the emperor tricked her into staying by his side,

so that he could protect the empress.

“Hi, Daryl."

With a script in his hand, Lewis approached her. "Let's rehearse our lines, shall we?"

The emperor in the film was intimidating. Who would've thought that Lewis was actually timid behind the

camera?

"Sounds great." Daryl smiled.

There was a scene in which they would go to the imperial garden hand in hand.

While being held by her, she would need to smile sheepishly but look excited about it.

When the two of them finished their lines, Lewis hesitated on whether he should take the initiative to hold her

hand or not. It seemed inappropriate at the time, so in the end, he just gave up. "Wait!"

Steve rushed between Daryl and Lewis, catching his breath.

Daryl was amused by how busy the producer had been all day long.

"What's wrong?" Lewis stared at him with curiosity.

"Ahem." Steve cleared his throat and continued, "You are going to hold hands in your next scene, right?"

"Yes." Daryl nodded.

With puzzled expressions, Lewis, Daryl, Sofia, and Ann looked at the producer.

"You need to use a substitute for that scene, Daryl," Steve said under everyone's confused gaze.

"Are you serious?" Daryl asked in disbelief.

"Of course."

Despite looking calm on the surface, Steve was in fact, feeling a little flustered.

His brain felt like it was spinning, and their gazes weren't helping him calm down. "Honestly, | didn't want to say

this, but Daryl's hands aren't very beautiful. Don't worry! I'll find a substitute for her!" As soon as he was finished

talking,

the others turned to stare at Daryl's hands.

Her hands were trembling. They weren't sure if she was scared or something.

Truth be told, Daryl had an exquisite figure. Her hands were slender and fair, and the bones of her fingers were

evenly sized. Her skin was smooth and delicate. She could work in commercials for hand cream. "That's it!"

Steve swallowed and waved his hand. "Daryl, you don't have to hold hands with Lewis. I'll find a substitute for

you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As she stared at the producer's receding figure, Daryl was rendered speechless and depressed. She was about to

speak, but no words cout of her mouth.

All of a sudden, her agreement with Zack popped up in her mind. Apparently, she had made a verbal agreement

with him that she must not appear in scenes that required her to hold hands or hug other men. 'Is this Zack's

order?’

The more she contemplated about it, the more she was convinced. It left Daryl feeling helpless.

When she and Lewis started acting, everyone thought that it was ridiculous that she used a substitute just

because they needed to hold hands.

They didn't know that Steve said Daryl's hands weren't beautiful. If they knew, they'd probably think that the

producer had gone insane.

When Candida arrived at the set, she heard someone talking about this issue.

She was wearing a white dress today, which made her look delicate and angelic.

Accompanying her was her agent who had worked for her for many years, Edwin Lin.

"What's going on? Daryl used a substitute?"

Even though Candida was always so hostile against Daryl, she was well aware that Daryl had never once used a

substitute when she was filming. And now, she used one for such a simple scene.

It was a rare sight to behold!

In a bitter tone, Edwin said, "Well, | guess she has found herself a new sugar daddy. She must think that she's

better than anyone else!"

That was how things were in the entertainment circle. When an actress had no prominent background and wasn't

popular, she could bear any hardships that cher way. But if she hooked up with someone wealthy or famous,

they would learn how to put on airs.

"Find someone to record a video as evidence, so that | can ruin her on the Internet!" A sly smile appeared on

Candida's face. "The entertainment circle is my territory now, and yet she still dares to make a comeback and go

against me. She should just fuck off!" "Great idea,"

Edwin agreed without hesitation. He hated Daryl because he once wanted to be her agent, but she denied him.

Daryl had chosen Sofia instead of him. Back then, Edwin was a big nin the entertainment industry. He was

known as a top-class agent.

Unfortunately, his reputation in the industry was terrible, because he was using all kinds of disgusting and dirty

means to hype up his own artists. His most common trick was discrediting other artists. His artists always used

others as stepping stones to fame. Recently, with Candida and the entire Lu Group behind him, he thought he

was invincible in the entertainment industry.

Daryl had no idea that Candida had cto see her. After she was done with her scene, she was about to have

lunch with Sofia.

"Daryl,"

Candida greeted Daryl when she finally found her alone.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Daryl froze in place as she clenched her fists.

She slowly turned about and glared at the person standing before her.

Candida took off her mask and flashed a grin. "Daryl, long tno see. How have you been?"

Hearing her voice got on Daryl's nerves. "You've already found out that I'm filming right here. How can you not

know how I'm doing? Or perhaps Leon hasn't told you yet?"

"What?"

The mention of Leon's nfroze the smile on Candida's face. "Daryl, why are you mentioning him?"

"It's nothing. | just thought that the two of you are in cahoots and have already found out about my current

situation.”

A casual smile appeared on Daryl's face.

Hearing her remark, Candida put on an innocent act. "Daryl, how could you say something like that to me? | just

care about your well-being. Why didn't you tellthat you were coming back to show business?

And with you reputation, how can you settle for a third supporting female? If you had told Leon and me, we

would have given you the leading role."
