Chapter 401 âWhere can I go to find someone who looks exactly like you?â Bradley couldnât help but question her proposal. âItâs just a body double scene. All weâre looking for is the motion and the overall effect.â
âI know...â Guinevere said, looking regretful. âBut I thought that youâre like me, a perfectionist in work.â
The manner in which she put it left Bradley with no choice but to swallow his words. In frustration, he kicked a chair by his feet.
Guinevere could clearly tell that he was raging.
Bradley did not bother hiding the fury etched on his face. He wouldâve probably given up tolerating her behavior if it werenât for her family.
Guinevere decided to take a step back and offer them a solution, âElla looks somewhat like me, and she filmed her fighting scene well just now. Would she be able to serve as my double?â
Everyone turned to look at Stella upon Guinevereâs suggestion.
It was then that everyone realized that Stella did look somewhat like Guinevere.
Perhaps goodâlooking people all bore some resemblance to each other. Both Stella and Guinevere had bright and beautiful eyes, but unlike Stella, Guinevere often wore makeâup to emphasize her features and make her look more captivating.
It also had the effect of aesthetic fatigue.
Stellaâs features were as delicate as Guinevereâs but had a more enduring look to them that made one feel that she was more beautiful the more one looked at her. After Guinevere raised her suggestion, everyone began finding it feasible. They asked Stella, âElla, do you want to give it a go?â
Stella instinctively turned to look at Guinevere, sneering in her heart when she saw Guinevere give her a halfâsmile.
She knew that no matter how friendly Guinevere tried to portray herself on the surface, deep inside, she was still the same old Guinevere who would stop at nothing to exterminate anyone who was a threat to her.
If Weston was the source of all the tragedy that happened to Stella, then Guinevere was the trigger.
She had once wanted both her and her child dead Seeing her remain silent, Guinevere hesitated, â...Oh, thatâs right. I didnât even seek your opinion about it.
Itâs fine if youâre not willing. After all, the moves are pretty difficult.â The crew couldnât help but begin to persuade Stella. âElla, you performed very well just now. Ms. Cohen just gave birth and itâs only natural that she canât do these moves. Why donât you lend a helping hand? Youâve already been filming for quite a while; this additional scene wouldnât take up much time.â
Instead of asking Stella for a favor, the way Guinevere and the crew members put it made Stella seem almost unreasonable if she were to reject the proposal.
She was about to open her mouth and respond when Bradley cut in, âSheâs a newcomer. How good an effect can she achieve? She could film that scene in one take only because she was very well prepared, diligent, and professional. If she really can help us film Guinevereâs scene, then I, representing the entire crew, thank Ella. However, itâs entirely reasonable too if she canât.â
Guinevereâs face turned cold as she looked at Bradley. She couldnât even be bothered to preserve the friendly and approachable image she was trying to keep up. She didnât expect Bradley to come to Ellaâs defense in front of everyone. Stella looked at Bradley before nodding in agreement, âI can give it a go, though I canât guarantee how things will turn out.â Bradley looked at her, slightly shocked. He didnât say anything, but she walked towards her and patted her shoulder, âIâll remember this favor you do for us.â
Stella flashed him a smile, maintaining her silence. Guinevere sneered in silence as she looked at both of them. âThank you for your willingness to help me. Weston wouldnât let me do something so dangerous, so I have to trouble you to help out...â
