Chapter 2072: Chapter 2072

Her complexion, her eyes, her posture every bit of her was a testament to the curiosity she felt for the man before her.

The girl wanted to draw closer but was also wary.

“So, what about you? What’s your name?”

She heard the foreigner speak, his English tinged with an accent that surprisingly had the smooth cadence of a native speaker.

Who could have taught him?

“Don’t tell me you’re a phony?” she prodded, but took three steps back:

David wasn’t offended. Instead, he explained earnestly, “I’ve been teaching in this country for three years. This is my first time visiting this city. I’m not a phony. I’m really a foreigner.”

Cedric arrived just as the fourth scene was starting, and his eyes were fixed on Giselle with a winner-

takes-all glare.

He couldn’t believe his luck. He was about to capture behind-the-scenes footage of Colton’s new movie!

With Colton’s name attached, this was bound to go viral.

“Hey, what’s wrong with the script? It doesn’t make sense in the following scenes!”

Someone finally noticed the tampered script and brought it to Ivy, who was resting and sipping water.

“We haven’t made any backups, Ivy, and you’re on soon. What are we going to do? The director will find out!”

The crew member was on the verge of tears. What a jinx! Who thought it was funny to mix inspirational movie lines with hefty historic drama dialogues?

“It’s fine.” Ivy started to reassure but was called away before she could finish.

“Scene four, take one. Let’s nail this in one shot. Ready, and action!”

Savvy Cedric had already captured all the earlier material. No wonder Giselle insisted he come – the real show was waiting right here for him.

“Would you like to walk with me? I could show you around the town I grew up in.”

The shy yet bold country girl extended her hand to a total stranger, a young man she had never met before.

The girl’s mother always said her child was a foolhardy one, but she never imagined her daughter would make such a “reckless” move one day.

David didn’t take her hand, knowing that for girls around here, holding hands wasn’t the proper manner of friendliness.

“I’d be happy to walk with you, Valor.” he complimented.

At his frank praise, she blushed uncontrollably.

Maintaining a shoulder’s distance, they walked through the places of her childhood.

They strolled along the beach, passed the old dilapidated kindergarten, and by the soup joint she never missed for breakfast, they stopped at where she lived.

“You live here?”

David eyed the alley before them. It’s narrow and long, with cobblestones at the entrance etched with the passage of time. Valor was puzzled. How did he know it’s where she lived?

“Ah, an old friend once told me that these alleys are iconic to this city. Most locals live here, so my first guess was that you’d live here, too.”

“CUT-Perfect!”

“That’s a wrap for today, folks. Our leading lady has once again graced us with a stellar performance.

Let’s give Ivy a round of applause!”
