Chapter 2102


    Isabel still had a couple of scenes to shoot today.


    After finally filling her stomach, she went over the script a few more times before heading back to the set.


    Time flew by.


    It waste afternoon in the blink of an eye, and they were already shooting the final scene for the day.


    During the break, she went to join Rnd in the same spot and informed him, ‘There''s only onest scene left. We can go back


    to the hotel after that."Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    She already told him he could head back after they had their breakfast, but he refused and stuck around until now.


    Rnd smiled faintly. “Sure.”


    Isabel grabbed some water to drink, then she touched up her makeup before getting ready for the scene.


    "Action!" the director called out. Isabel and another male actor who was also part of the scene geared themselves up for their


    monologue.


    They were shooting a scene of the final breakup between the characters. The heroine yed by Isabel wanted to leave, but the


    male protagonist would not let her.


    The two tussled around for a while until the male lead pulled her into his arms.


    Isabel''s character resisted at first, but she was ultimately hesitant and threw herself into his arms.


    Isabel waspletely immersed in her acting and barely noticed Rnd standing at the corner of the set and looking at her with


    the darkest expression he had ever worn.


    Then, the male lead kissed her on the forehead. It was swiftly followed by the director calling out, "Cut!"


    Isabel took a step back and exhaled.


    The male lead was still standing motionlessly as if he had lost himself in the script. He was looking at Isabel tenderly. He seemed


    to have forgotten that they were just actors ying a role.


    Isabel was about to approach him to say something to him to pull him out of his trance when she felt a sharp presence behind


    her. She turned around and saw Rnd standing a few meters behind her with a disapproving frown.


    She only needed one look at his face to tell that he was upset.


    She immediately gave up on the thought of speaking to the male lead. She walked up to Rnd and remarked with a brisk smile,


    "Hey, it''s all just acting at the end of the day."


    It was the way the script was written, and it was their job to y it out to its full effect.


    Rnd did not speak. He put his hand out and touched her face, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.


    Isabel made a face. "A little bit of crying is needed to achieve a dramatic effect."


    Rnd did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Are you guys done already?"


    She assured him, "That''s all the scenes for today. We can go now."


    He promptly took her hand and walked her out.


    She briskly said goodbye to the director and several actors before walking out with him.


    She was still wearing her set costume, so she quickly went to the dresser to get changed into her regr clothes, then they went


    back to the hotel after that.


    Upon entering the hotel room, she nned to take a shower and remove her makeup when Rnd pinned her against the door


    with a mighty shove, producing a loud bang. He pressed his lips into hers, not allowing her room to breathe.


    After a while, Isabel felt herself slowly suffocating. She had to pat him on the back several times before he understood the signal


    and released her lips.


    He was still pressed against her, their foreheads touching. Hisrge, beaming eyes stared into Isabel.


    "| don''t like him kissing you,” he said in a raspy voice.


    Isabel expressed with difficulty, "Rnd, it had to happen for the plot. Besides, it was just a peck on the forehead, nothing more


    than that."


    "Kissing your forehead is the same as kissing you."


    She grew silent.


    She did not know what to say, and after she thought for a while, she remarked, "I''ll wash my forehead. Does that work?"


    He grew silent for a few seconds before releasing his grip around her waist.


    She walked towards the bathroom.


    After walking a few steps, she noticed Rnd following her. She turned around, ’Don’t follow me. I''ll join you again after I''m


    done."


    He proposed, "Let me do it for you."


    Isabel took a deep sigh and gave in. ‘Okay."


    If she refused to let him wash her forehead, he was probably going to stew in anger for the rest of the day.


    They entered the bathroom together.


    She took off her coat and pulled her hair back before remarking, "I have to remove my makeup first.”


    "Sure."
