Samuel grunted.
That sensation was painful but exhilarating at the same time.
He knew Kathleen was expressing her dissatisfaction.
I didn’t know about this scene. I must tell them to delete this part!
Kathleen stopped and gazed bitterly at Samuel’s face. “You’re still unconscious, after all. They really lied to me!”
With that, she stood up, seemingly ready to seek revenge on those who deceived her.
“Cut!” said Remy, who was holding a phone to shoot the scene.
Kathleen let out a sigh of relief.
Samuel opened his eyes and put his legs down.
He brushed his lips with his slender fingers and smiled faintly. “Has anyone mentioned you behave like a cat?”
“I don’t know about me, but I’m sure you are a dog,” she retorted.
Samuel chuckled. “But I did not bite you.”
Kathleen ignored him and turned to look at Spencer and Remy.
Spencer grinned. “Your acting skills are indeed commendable. Why didn’t you debut earlier, Ms. Johnson?”
She explained, “I got married at a young age, but I’m divorced now. This indicates that having a man would only hinder my career.”
Spencer wore a faint smile. “Not all men are like that.”
“You’re right. A good man would never become a woman’s stumbling block. Only terrible men would think of women as their possession, prohibiting them from progressing well in life,” Kathleen replied sarcastically.
Remy regarded Samuel with a meaningful look.
The latter appeared unconcerned.
I did forbid Kathleen to become an actress in the past, and I will not deny the mistakes I made. However, I will change from now on.
Spencer got up and stretched out his hand. “Ms. Johnson, I officially welcome you to join the cast and crew of Assassin.”
Remy stood up as well. “Welcome, welcome!”
Kathleen shook hands with Spencer and Remy.
“If there’s nothing, I shall get going then.” Kathleen did not wish to stay there for a second longer.
“All right. I will arrange someone to inform you of the specific filming time,” Spencer said while wearing an amused expression.
Kathleen nodded. “Okay.”
She turned around to look at Charles. “Let’s go, Charles.”
Charles nodded. Then, he glanced coldly at Samuel before leading Kathleen away.
“I don’t think she recognizes me.” Remy was disappointed.
Spencer stared at him. “Well, aren’t you a daredevil? When did you change the scene?”
“Just now. I did that for Samuel.” Remy smirked.
Samuel said coldly, “But she misunderstood that I instructed you two to do that.”
“Samuel, you’re obviously unwelcome. I can’t believe she hates you so much.” Remy sighed. “Nevertheless, Kathleen has become prettier. She was the campus belle in the past. So many guys had tried to win her affection but failed miserably.”
“Are you one of those guys?” Spencer eyed him.
“I’ll never have the guts to do so!” Remy said sulkily, “I’m afraid Samuel would skin me alive.”
Spencer sneered.
Remy explained, “Don’t get mad at me, Samuel. I was just testing Kathleen’s acting skills. Anyway, I do think that she’s a talented actress. If you had not…”
Samuel’s face darkened.
Remy fell silent immediately.
Spencer grinned. “I think you did a great job with the script. Let’s just use this scene.”
What the heck!
Remy gazed at Spencer in astonishment.
Is he crazy? Samuel will never allow that!
“What do you think, Mr. Macari? Spencer looked at Samuel.
“I think the investment capital can reduce to half the amount,” Samuel answered casually.
“Don’t do that. I’m just kidding,” Spencer responded in embarrassment.
“I’ve told you not to utter nonsense. I’d like to see what you will do without any money!” Remy grumbled.
Spencer kept quiet afterward.
Remy eyed Samuel. “We’ll take our leave now, Samuel. We’ll inform you of the filming time later.”
Samuel nodded indifferently.
Remy hurriedly dragged Spencer along and left.
They were afraid of infuriating Samuel, the devil.
After they were gone, Samuel licked his lips which were forcefully bitten by Kathleen earlier.
He curled his lips into a smirk.
Remy and Spencer went downstairs and met with Kathleen and the others. They waited for the elevator earlier, so both parties arrived downstairs around the same time.
“Kath- Ms. Johnson!” Remy had an outgoing personality. He jogged over to greet her, “Do you remember me?”
She shook her head lightly.
He felt upset. “I’m sad! You even played a role in my screenplay previously.”
Kathleen was puzzled. “Previously?”
“That’s right. I remember it was an event at your school. They requested I write the script and invited me to watch the play. You were the female lead,” Remy elaborated.
She seemed to have recalled that incident. “Oh, I see. I didn’t realize you wrote the screenplay. They said they would ask for a senior’s help to come up with the script, but I didn’t expect that person to be you.”
Remy felt awkward. She only remembers that I’m her senior and completely forgotten that she met with me at the Macari residence. Nevertheless, I cannot blame her for that because we could have had plenty of chances to meet with one another, but Samuel did not allow her to come out. What a jerk!
“Those scenes earlier were truly part of the script. That has nothing to do with Mr. Macari,” he uttered while thinking about Samuel.
I can only do so much for you, Samuel.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded indifferently. “I know now.”
She stared coldly at him. “Is there anything else?”
Remy flushed. He thought she must be feeling angry.
“That’s all. I’ll see you during the filming then,” he said.
Kathleen nodded again. “See you.”
With that, she turned on her heels and walked away with Charles trailing behind her.
Spencer came to a halt beside Remy and asked, “Is it true when you said that you’ve never liked her?”
Remy lightly coughed and cleared his throat. “No! I’ve never liked her.”
Spencer was unconvinced. “Enough with that pretense. I am familiar with your personality. There’s no way you would help your juniors write the screenplay for no reason. You usually charge one thousand for every word you write. Do you know how expensive is that? How much money could those university students have?”
Remy snorted. “Why don’t you hire somebody else instead of me if you’re so capable?”
Spencer said nothing.
Remy pursed his lips. “I did reject them by giving the excuse of not having any inspiration at that moment. Then, they showed me Kathleen’s pictures. I grew up with Samuel, so I was aware of her relationship with him. I also knew they were married then, but I…”
Spencer patted his shoulder. “I can understand your sentiment. Unrequited love is usually the hardest to let go of. Anyway, she’s single now, so you still have a chance.”
Remy replied bitterly, “Ha. Judging by the look on his face today, do you think Samuel would do nothing and let me pursue her?”
Spencer frowned. “But I think she doesn’t like him.”
He had heard of some news related to the grudges between Kathleen and Samuel.
In Spencer’s opinion, Kathleen did not seem like a lovestruck fool, so he doubted she would fall for Samuel again.
Remy elaborated, “You don’t know Samuel. If he has his eyes set on Kathleen, he will never take her by force. I’ll put it this way. He will transform into a cunning fox, putting on the façade of the type of man Kathleen admires before approaching her, gradually developing a deeper bond with her. As a result, she will become completely smitten with him.”
Spencer laughed.
“Just you wait and see. That guy from the Morris family does not stand a chance,” Remy said firmly.
“What if Kathleen really marries Christopher?” Spencer asked in fascination.
“If that’s the case, I’ll write the screenplay for you for free. What do you say?”
“Deal! That’s settled, then. Don’t you regret what you’ve said.”
“I’ll admit I’m a sore loser if I go back on my word!” After saying that, Remy swiftly texted Samuel on WhatsApp: Samuel, I’m counting on you to get paid now!
