Francis retrieved it, smiling at all those present.
âAfter a thorough discussion with the scriptwriter last night, Iâve decided that Tylerâs role is not only charming but he also brings the role to life.
Which is why weâve decided to rewrite the script, adding additional lines and backstory to help set up Tylerâs role, Gifford, as the most important supporting role.
â
As it turned out, Francis and the scriptwriter were working on script revisions overnight, which caused the delay in filming.
This unexpected twist left Cole baffled.
He couldnât fathom why Francis had suddenly shifted his focus to Tyler while ignoring Cole.
Wasnât Francis concerned about upsetting his aunt?
Growing anxious, Cole objected, âThis last-minute script alteration will impact many people.
I believe we should discuss it as a group.
â
Francis, aware of Coleâs thoughts, responded with a suggestive hint, âIt wonât affect you.
I havenât modified your scenes; Iâve merely added a few between Gifford and the leading lady.
â
Coleâs expression darkened.
âBut Iâm the lead actor.
Shouldnât there be more interactions between the heroine and me?â
Francis replied impatiently, âIâve only included a few additional scenes for them, which wonât diminish the appeal or significance of the protagonist.
Besides, we should consult Miss Cicio on this matter, as her workload will be increased.
â
âIâm here, Mr.
Salazar,â Selene called out, slowly approaching from the other side of the restaurant.
She had intended to leave earlier but lingered upon hearing Arianaâs voice.
To her surprise, she saw Tyler again.
Asmile graced her lips.
Francisâ grin widened at the sight of Selene.
âMiss Cicio, Iâve included more scenes between you and Tyler.
Are you alright with that?â
Upon hearing this, Selene glanced at Tyler with anticipation and softly replied, âI accept it.
I believe the character of Gifford is quite captivating.
He can be portrayed as a persistent and passionate man.
â
With the leading actress on board, Cole found himself with no grounds for further objections.
With a pleased demeanor, Francis made his decision and handed the updated scripts to Tyler and Selene.
âYou both should head back and familiarize yourselves with the script.
Weâll begin shooting the revised scenes this afternoon.

Noticing that everyone received a new script except him, Cole inquired, âWhereâs my updated script?â
Francis clicked his tongue and responded, âYour part hasnât changed.
No need to waste paper.

However, Cole remained curious, wanting to know how Tylerâs scenes had been altered and whether they were better than the protagonistâs.
Since Francis withheld the new script from him, Cole had no choice but to let it go for now.
He had other ways to get the new script anyway.
Why did Francis have to be so secretive with him?
Frustrated, Cole fiddled with the skull charm on his bracelet, silently cursing Francis over and over.
Then, Francis distributed an updated schedule to everyone.
He specifically addressed Ariana, âTyler has only two scenes this afternoon, from five to nine oâclock.
His first scene tomorrow will start at eleven oâclock.
Make sure to get some rest and join the crew when youâre refreshed.
Feel free to discuss any concerns or needs with me in the future.
â
Observing the significant shift in Francisâ attitude and recalling Theodoreâs words from the previous night, Ariana quickly put the pieces together.
