âAlso, sheâs quite hard working and honest. She doesnât seem like someone who would take shortcuts.â
Bradleyâs comment appeared like a complement to Stella. In fact, he was telling Weston that his choice was based on the consideration of the movie, not because of any connection or shady relationships.
Ultimately, Weston was still an investor in his movie.
Guinevere was the only female lead of the film and joined capital into the production group. She was also Westonâs fiancée.
For Bradley, it was an art to talk to the investors. Besides, Stella was pure and clean without any ulterior motive. He must not let Weston misunderstand their relationship. Otherwise, Stella might not be able to act in any film in the future.
Stella did not come from a professional background. If she left such an impression on the investors, she might not be able to secure any acting roles in the future.
People like Bradley were very experienced in the entertainment industry. He was eccentric and unlike most, but he had long been a man of the world. He did not want to use those techniques if possible, but he would do so when necessary.
It was clear that Bradley was defending Stella. Westonâs expression changed a little when he heard that, but his face remained unreadable. He questioned, âIf you think so highly of this new actress, why did you let her get injured?â Bradley was a little surprised. He did not expect Weston to pursue this matter.
He gave it a thought. Perhaps Weston was hammering away at him about the production setâs safety.
After all, Guinevere was about to start shooting soon.
He reassured Weston, âMr. Ford, please rest assured. Weâll strengthen our safety measures. I promise this situation will not occur again, especially when Ms. Cohen comes into the set.â.
Weston looked at him and said nothing. Then, he turned to leave.
Bradley watched him leave and was puzzled for a moment. He could not figure out what was going on in Westonâs mind, so he shook his head and returned to the ward. Meanwhile, in the ward, Stella woke up at some point of time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Roger sitting next to her.
Stella was surprised. âRoger, why are you here?â
Roger immediately looked up to her when he heard her voice. âSis?â
Roger came from the university in a rush. He did not sleep well last night and had a test in class. When he had just finished the paper, he received a call from Stellaâs workplace.
He was already very exhausted before rushing over. His underâeyes were dark blue, and his eyes were red and tired.
âI got a call from your director, so I rushed over from school... Sis, are you all right?â
Roger sat up straight and rang the nurseâs bell at the bedside, âIâll call the doctor over.â Stella coughed twice and closed her eyes. It took a few moments before her thoughts returned. She rubbed her brow and muttered, âI think I fell while hanging in midair...â âBradley said you hit your head, but itâs nothing serious.â
Roger fidgeted a little and suddenly frowned. âWhy donât we check again? Iâm still worried.â Bradley happened to follow the doctor through the door as Roger said that. âThe doctor has checked. Whatâs there to worry about?â Bradley said, âIâve paid the bills.â Then, he turned to Stella, âDo you still feel unwell, or are you in any pain?â Stella shook her head. âIâm fine. Thanks, Mr. Lane...â
As the doctor performed a series of tests on Stella, Bradley glanced at Roger. He told him,â Donât be so worried. If your sister has any afterâeffects, come to me.
âI promise you that the safety measures are always in place. Your sister is safe in our hands. We arenât the kind of crew who mistreats â
