A familiar voice rang out. âHurry up! Clear the scene and remove all the debris!â
Frank froze in shock at the voice. It was as if an invisible hand was crushing his heart.
Itâs him!
Even though they hadnât met in years, Frank immediately recognized the voice.
He stopped in his tracks and gazed at the man intently.
Right then, the man turned slowly with a broom in his hands.
As their eyes met, an awkward silence hung in the air.
Greg narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the broom.
He had never expected to meet Frank here at all.
You scum who stole my script and my wife!
Frank regained his composure ahead of Greg and strode over to him. A surprised expression showed on his face as he exclaimed, âMy old friend, fancy meeting you here! We havenât met in ages, but youâre still handsome as before.â
Greg shot him a sarcastic smile. âYou donât have to act like a hypocrite. Arenât you tired of doing so?
You can be an actor at this rate since your acting skills are so much better than the actors under your company.â
Frankâs face darkened instantly. âMy friend, I get that youâre upset with me, but do you have to beat around the bush to curse me?â
âYes, I just cursed you. So what?â Greg snorted.
Frank lost his patience at his reply. Since Greg had seen through his act, there was no need to carry on. âGreg Maxwell, donât take my respect for granted. Are you making a new movie?â
âYes, I am. Are you upset about that fact?â
âWho? You? Youâre nothing but a box office flop. Who would want to invest in your movie?â Frank laughed like he had just heard a ridiculous joke.
âNo matter who his investor is, thatâs none of your business.â a young man spoke behind him abruptly.
Before Frank could reply, the paparazzi started yelling excitedly, âHey, itâs Jonathan Quickton!â
âOh dear, how could it be Jonathan?â
âWhy is he here?â
The paparazzi swarmed toward Jonathan like bees attracted to honey.
âJonathan, are you acting in this movie?â
âAre you going to work with Maxwell?â
âWhat is the movie about?â
âWhoâs the female lead? Is she a top celebrity?â
âJonathan, what does it feel like to work with Maxwell? Rumor has it that he is hot-tempered and hard to get along with.â
With a smirk, Jonathan yawned languidly. His reply was curt and formal. âIâm happy to be able to work with Maxwell. Heâs a strict but responsible director. Weâre getting along well. The female lead is a rookie actress, and this is her first appearance in showbiz, so I canât reveal the plot for now. But you can support us by watching the movie in the theater.â
The paparazzi were astounded by his answer.
A rookie actress? Seriously?
Everyoneâs interest was piqued.
Which rookie actress is going to take on the role?
They were especially curious since Jonathan was not only a top idol who could dance and sing well, but he was also very attractive.
âIs it possible to know who the female lead is? Do we get to meet her?â
âWhy did you agree to film alongside a rookie actress?â
Overwhelmed with curiosity, the paparazzi started throwing questions at Jonathan again.
The smirk on Jonathanâs face remained unchanged as he replied, âSheâs a diligent actress. Youâll see.â
Since Jonathan refused to reveal anything, the paparazzi turned to Greg. âIs there something between your investor and the rookie actress? Otherwise, why would you take the risk by using a rookie?â
