Chapter 39
“Sawyer, do you even know what you’re talking about?” Bartley slammed the door behind him and
grabbed the tablet out of Sawyer’s hands
“Hey, I wasn’t done with that” Sawyer grumbled, noticing Bartley’s scowl, he added, “I need to know
your enemy before I can understand this woman’s background”
“The problem isn’t her Bartley murmured, “It’s Mr. Reed”
Sawyer eyed his overly serious younger brother and snorted, “You’re really going all out to protect her.”
Bartley frowned, “Don’t talk like that Ms. Lopez is very professional
Sawyer scoffed, I’ll come to the set with you tomorrow. I want to meet her myself.”
Bartley responded, “Our set is not open to outsiders.”
“I’ll find a way” Sawyer said, then leaned in close and squinted at Bartley. “You’re not falling for this
Eileen, are you?”
“No way!” Bartley’s cheeks flushed, quickly adding, “I just admire her professional skills. We’re both
newbies, but her acting is way better than mine. I’m more nervous acting with her than with those
seasoned actors”
Sawyer gave a cold laugh, clearly not taking it seriously, “We’ll see about that tomorrow.”
The next day, as soon as Eileen arrived on set, she noticed the atmosphere was off.
Lenwood spotted her and called out, “Eileen, come here”
Eileen rushed over and saw a man standing next to Lenwood. The man was in his twenties, handsome
with a well-tailored suit, but his eyes had a hint of
rebellious charm.
This is Mr. Saul, He’s decided to invest half a million in our project. Lenwood said, grinning from ear to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtear, then pointing at Eileen, he introduced her to the new investor, This is the leading lady of our show,
Eileen
“Nice to meet you” Mr. Saul smiled, extending his hand for a brief handshake.
After the handshake, Mr. Saul said, ‘Lenwood, Id like to take a look around the set, is that okay?”
“Of course, right this way.” Lenwood said.
Once they left, Eileen went to her makeup artist. Halfway through her makeup, Bartley came over and
started chatting with her, “Ms. Lopez, have you had breakfast?”
“Yeah, I did” Eileen replied casually
Bartley looked behind him, ‘Seems like we ve got a new investor I didn’t expect that, since we already
started shooting. With this money. I wonder if the director will rent a dressing room and makeup room.
It’s really inconvenient to do makeup in the corner, and without a dressing room, it’s not convenient
for the cast to change.”
Eileen just smiled and didn’t respond. Seeing she wasn’t interested in chatting, Bartley stopped talking.
Soon, shooting began but Eileen noticed the new investor was still on set, even sitting in the director’s
chair. Was he trying to interfere with the production?
Luckily, once shooting started, the investor didn’t interfere too much.
After the first round of shooting. Bartley had two NGs, while everyone else nailed it on the first try
During lunch break, Lenwood announced some good news. They had rented a large house nearby to
serve as their costume and makeup room, which also included separate dressing rooms for men and
women.
Everyone was thrilled. Bartley walked up to Eileen and hinted, “Now it’ll be more convenient for us to
change clothes, we don’t have to borrow dressing rooms from other sets”
Eileen glanced at him, then at Saul, who had similar features to Bartley, and scoffed, “Mr. Saul, you’ve
really gone to great lengths.”
Bartley wanted to say something, but Eileen had already turned around and walked away with an
expressionless face
Eileen was indeed upset. Who wouldn’t be if they were wrongfully accused of meddling in someone’s
relationship?
In the afternoon’s shooting, Bartley got a taste of Eileen’s wrath in the morning, Eileen had been
cooperating with him, even altering the plot on the fly to cover up his inadequacies But in the afternoon,
all that special treatment was gone Eileen even upped the ante, her pace and emotions were so fast
that Bartley couldn’t keep up.
One scene took an hour to shool, which made Lenwood fuming. The new investor was watching, they
couldn’t afford to mess up
“Bartley, come here Lenwood called Bartley over and sternly explained the scene to him.
Sawyer watched from the side, feeling extremely uncomfortable as he saw his own younger brother
being criticized as useless right in front of him. He then glanced at Eileen Sawyer was convinced that
this girl was deliberately causing trouble
The pressure in the afternoon was as intense as the smooth sailing they had in the morning
By their progress the day before, they were supposed to shoot five scenes in the afternoon. But until
nine o’clock at night, they
Lenwood had no choice but to call it a day
The moment they wrapped, Edeen rushed to the changing room. When she came out,
“Eileen.” Bartley called her the moment he saw her.
Without a pause, Eileen walked right past him. This young man needed a lesson
va dejected Bartley walking in.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter finishing a scene, Egbert told Louie he was heading back to the dressing room with the script.
When he opened the door, the room was brightly lit Egbert saw Eileen on the couch playing with her
phone.
He entered, closed the door and casually asked. “Are you here to change?”
“No “Eileen put away her phone, stood up, took a key out of her pocket and handed it to Egbert.
Egbert looked at the spare key, asking. What’s this for?”
Seeing that he didn’t take it, Eileen just plunked the key on the coffee table and said, “We’ve rented a
bigger dressing room, so we won’t be needing to borrow yours anymore”
Egbert furrowed his brows.
Eileen, hands in her pockets, casually said. “1 waited for you to get back so I could tell you this face-to-
face, return your key, and thank kindness I gotta leave See you
you for
your
With that, she started to walk past Egbert. Suddenly, he grabbed her arm tightly. Eileen paused, turning
to look at him, “What’s up, Mr. Reed? Anything else?”
Egbert stared deeply at her then after a moment said, “There’s a trip to Tokyo the day after tomorrow.
Wanna tag along?”
The day after tomorrow was the third recording for Traveller 5+1, with Tokyo being the destination.
Eileen asked in confusion, Why should I go with you?”
Egbert hesitated a bit, then made up an excuse, We could go together and keep each other
accompany?”
Eileen chuckled, pushed his hand away and shook her head, “Nah, I don’t want to ”
With that, she walked past him and out of the lounge
As the lounge door closed again, Egbert stood there, looking pretty sour
