The days filming went smoothly.
After Valeria and Adrian wrapped up a scene, Tilda approached with a bottle of water in hand.
Here, she said, offering it to Valeria.
You must be thirsty.
Valeria accepted the bottle with a grateful smile.
Thank you, Tilda.
As Adrian walked away, Tildas gaze followed him for a moment before she asked, So, how do you feel working with Adrian? Valeria took a sip of water, her eyes bright with enthusiasm.
Its great.
Adrian has a fantastic reputation in the industry, and hes incredibly dedicated.
Working alongside him, I know I can Learn a lot. Her tone was full of admiration.
Tomorrow you will have an intimate scene with him.
Do you have any concerns? Tilda probed.
Valeria laughed lightly.
Dont worry about me.
Im a professional actress with a strong sense of professionalism.
I can handle it.
Besides, Adrian is a decent guy.
Even when filming intimate scenes, he would never cross boundaries.
Tilda sighed inwardly at Valerias unwavering composure.
She saw no reason to alter the script, especially since Valeria had no objections to filming intimate scenes with Adrian.
Tilda returned to her corner and picked up the script, ready to dive back into her work.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
It was a message from Hutton.
Tilda, can you help me with the script revision? Tilda typed a swift response.
Sorry, I cant help you.
She didnt know Hutton well, and with Valeria so unfazed by the intimate scenes, there was no need for her to get involved.
Moments later, Huttons reply came in.
Lets make a deal.
Tilda blinked, taken aback. A deal? What did he mean by that? She typed back: What kind of deal? Ive got information on Rita.
His reply was instant.
Tildas expression shifted from casual curiosity to serious contemplation.
You know Rita? Have you forgotten what I do? he replied.
Right.
Hutton was a hacker.
If anyone could dig up dirt, it was him.
But had he really gone out of his way to look into Rita just to persuade her to revise the script? He must have seen Rita with Lyndon the other day they met at the hospital and decided he could use the situation in his favor.
Tilda bit her lip, staring at her phone screen, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her.
Should she strike a deal with him? Her curiosity gnawed at her.
What had Hutton discovered?
