Hence, Melissa was late on the first day of filming.
Although Director Zette was very angry, he didnât have much time to waste. In addition, Melissaâs manager had used her company to talk about it, so Director Zette could only turn a blind eye.
Each of the guests was wearing protective clothing with a thick and long safety rope tied to the back because they were going to slide to the opposite side with the help of the aerial cable.
Everyoneâs protective suit was put on by the props team. When it was Sharonâs turn, Geoffrey put it on.
When Geoffrey was putting on Sharonâs protective suit, he kept avoiding her eyes. Anyone who saw him would look guilty. After all, this was the first time he had been paid to do such a thing. It would be abnormal if he didnât feel guilty.
âYou donât have to be so nervous. Iâll be the one sliding over later, not you.â Sharon saw that Geoffreyâs hand was trembling, so she kindly reminded him.
âI-Iâm not nervous.â Geoffrey was stubborn. âItâs just that the buttons of this protective suit are a little tight, and I canât operate it well.â
After he said this, Sharon put on the protective suit. Geoffrey heaved a sigh of relief and said to Sharon, âYouâre ready. You can go and record now.â
âThank you.â Sharon thanked him simply and went to line up with the other guests.
Seeing this, Geoffrey returned to the props team and stopped paying attention to Sharonâs situation.
Sharon stood at the back at first. After seeing Geoffrey return to the props team, she went to look for Director Zette and said, âDirector, this protective suit Iâm wearing is a little old. Can you change it for me?â
Director Zette only took a look before getting the prop team leader beside him to change Sharon into a new protective suit.
âThank you, Director,â Sharon said and went back to line up.
When it was her turn, Geoffrey still ran out. He stood in the distance and stared at Sharonâs every move. The protective suit he had put on Sharon was the oldest, and the safety rope was deliberately loosened. As long as Sharon was completely off the ground, she would definitely fall from the sky.
Although the production team had placed a large safety cushion on the ground, Sharon would probably be seriously injured if she fell onto that cushion because it was too high.
After Sharon left the ground, the scene Geoffrey had been looking forward to didnât appear.
Not only did Sharon not fall, but she also slid out smoothly.
Geoffrey was shocked and bewildered. How could this be? No matter how light Sharon was, she would definitely fall!
âWhat are you looking at here?â Kenny walked over and asked, âHave you prepared the rest of the props?â
âNot yet. Iâll go prepare now!â Geoffreyâs forehead was covered in cold sweat as he escaped under Kennyâs gaze.
He was sure that he had tampered with Sharonâs protective suit. Why was Sharon fine?
If the person who called found out, wouldnât he have to return all the money he had obtained?
Just as Geoffrey thought, Nicole was furious when she saw Sharon smoothly gliding through the sky.
She called Geoffrey almost immediately. âWhatâs wrong with you? Didnât I tell you to tamper with Sharonâs protective equipment?â
Geoffrey hid in an empty corner and explained, âI did tamper with her clothes. I put them on her myself!â
âThen why is she fine?â Nicole questioned. âAre you afraid that you didnât do as I said?â
âThatâs impossible!â Geoffrey said. â1 put on the most worn-out protective suit for her, and I purposely didnât tie the safety rope properly so that something would happen to her! â
âBut the outcome is completely different from what I thought! â Nicole said. âLet me tell you, Iâll give you one last chance. If you canât do this, then give me back the money!â
âOkay, okay! Trust me, I will do it well!â Geoffreyâs mouth was dry, and his throat felt like it was on fire.
âRemember, this is the last chance Iâll give you!â Nicole was probably really angry.
âAlright! I wonât disappoint you!â Geoffrey hung up the phone and hurriedly took a sip of water.
The next moment, he hurriedly ran to the props team, only to find the protective suit he had given Sharon in the corner..
