Chapter 138: Chapter 138

“Mm.” Emmeline looked around her and noticed no one was nearby. “I wanted to get an update on company operations, but if you’re not around, then forget it.”

“I didn’t expect you to be in the mood for work, Ms. Louise.”

“I’m not going to waste my life on a failed relationship. Work is more important!” Emmeline said.

Benjamin burst out laughing. “Why don’t you come over here and took for me? I’m at Adelmar Studios.

I’m sure you’d appreciate a walk here.”

“Adelmar Studios? Alright, wait for me there,” Emmeline said.

The trip to Adelmar Studios was a half-hour ride on her motorcycle.

“Over here, Emma!” Benjamin waved at Emmeline. He was standing in front of the “hotel.”

Emmeline parked her motorcycle and placed the helmet on the handlebars.

Benjamin went up to her, handed her a bottle of water, and brushed away several strands of hair stuck on her forehead.

Emmeline was thirsty. She downed half a bottle in two gulps.

“There’s a booting ceremony today for our new movie project. I’m here to take a look,” Benjamin said.

Emmeline pointed at the “battlefield.” “Is it a medieval action movie?”

“Yes, a fantasy action movie.” Benjamin nodded.

Emmeline was piqued. “Fantasy! I’d like to take a look.”

“Come with me.” Benjamin took Emmeline’s hand and went to the film set.

A dozen production assistants and bodyguards escorted them from behind.

The film studio belonged to Adelmar Group, which meant it belonged to Emmeline.

However, Emmeline had never been there.

Robert knew that Emmeline could not be bothered to manage Adelmar Group, so Benjamin had been running the entire show, and he was doing a very good job at it.

The actors were filming a fight scene in front of the city gates, but the female lead actor’s stunt doublé sprained her ankle.

Everyone was frustrated and angry. They could have wrapped up the scene.

It seemed that production would have to be delayed.

“I’d like to try!” Emmeline ran over. “It’s just wirework, right? I can do that.”

Benjamin grabbed her wrist. “What are you thinking, Emma?”

“I don’t have anything to do anyway.” Emmeline shoved the water bottle into his hands. “I think it’s interesting to be a stunt double. I get to fight too.”

Benjamin was speechless. Has she been bored at home?

“Wirework is very dangerous. Why don’t I bring you somewhere else?”

“I wanna try that!” Emmeline went up to the director. “You can leave the stunt work to me!”

The director looked at Emmeline closely and thought her build was similar to the female lead actor.

“Can you fight?”

“Not a problem.” Emmeline did two backflips in a row.

“Nice! The job is yours!” the director said.

“Don’t be too hard on her, Fred. If she’s injured, I’ll shut the whole project down.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. York,” the director said, “I know she’s your friend. I’ll keep a close eye on her!”

Emmeline went to get changed. The makeup artists helped her put on makeup.

Soon, a female “knight” leaped down from the gates and “fought” a bunch of “rebels.”

The director clapped his hands excitedly. “Great job! This’ll cut production time by half!”

Benjamin hugged Emmeline as the production crew removed the wires from her.

‘ll come back tomorrow! Being a stunt double is fun!” Emmeline said happily.

Benjamin nearly blew his top.

“If Mr. Adelmar finds out, he’ll strangle me!”

“If you don’t tell him and I don’t tell him, Master won’t know!”

“I don’t agree with it anyway!”

“Who’s in charge here?”

“You’re in charge of Adelmar Group, but between you and me, I’m in charge!”

Emmeline glared at Benjamin. “What’s the meaning of that, Benjamin?”
