“What’s wrong? Why are you so upset?”
When Yelena saw Federick coming over, she was worried Cayson might be scolded, so she quickly explained, “Nah. I wasn’t upset. Cayson probably doesn’t really understand this scene, so he keeps getting stuck.”
Yelena had put it in a very indirect way, while Cayson understood her intentions and felt even more embarrassed.
Federick took the script and skimmed through the lines before quirking a brow. “In this scene, the little prince bumps into the little princess on top of the hills, carries her in his arms, and whispers in her ear, ‘I still managed to catch you eventually, little brat,’ is that right?”
That scene was indeed a little awkward, hence Yelena also felt a little shy about it.
“Yeah. He forgot his line just when he leaned close.”
Federick’s gaze instantly turned sharp. He turned around and scanned Cayson from top to toe.
This little brat must have other intentions. He seems interested in her.
As if his mind had been read, Cayson instantly turned crimson.
Clutching the script in his hands and glancing at it, Federick asked, “How about I demonstrate this part?”
Cayson subconsciously shook his head and rejected him, “N-No, thanks. I should probably do it myself?”
At the thought of Federick having physical contact with Yelena, he couldn’t help feeling upset.
Federick spread his palms. “If you don’t want me to do the demonstration, and you can’t do well, should we just remove this scene?”
At the same time, Federick would be able to stop the kid from having other thoughts.
Cayson, who had rejected him, froze.
“Maybe you should do the demonstration.”
Federick snorted. “Watch carefully.”
After saying that, he turned around and reached out for Yelena’s waist while she was still in a panic.
Seeing Federick’s face up close, Yelena realized that his bare face actually looked better than Cayson’s face with makeup on.
Federick had a pair of affectionate eyes in the shape of peach blossom, and when he stared into her eyes, she couldn’t help finding him charming.
“I still managed to catch you eventually, little brat.”
Yelena was stunned all of a sudden, unable to take the baton.
That was too much!
However, Yelena quickly adjusted her state since she was a married woman.
A brief hint of disappointment flickered in Federick’s eyes as he saw Yelena quickly recovering from her dazed state.
“Do you know what to do now?”
Federick turned his head and caught a glimpse of Cayson behind him. He noticed a faint hint of jealousy and anger in Cayson’s eyes.
However, it only lasted for a moment and disappeared as soon as he turned his head.
“Yes, Mr. Seanzy, I understand,” Cayson replied awkwardly and stepped forward to pull Yelena away from him. He then said seriously, “Alright, we need to continue filming now.”
Federick took a few steps back to allow them to continue filming.
However, she remained deeply immersed in her own thoughts and unable to extricate herself. She felt that she might be seeing things, but the affectionate gaze seemed genuine.
Federick… seems to have feelings toward me. Combined with the conversation she had just overheard, she became more convinced that it was true.
Consequently, Yelena’s gaze toward Federick became blurred and she found herself unable to focus during the shoot.
This time, it wasn’t Cayson’s fault, but Yelena’s.
Naturally, Cayson wouldn’t blame her. Seeing that she was absent-minded, he thought it was because she wasn’t feeling well and was still upset from his retakes.
“Yellie, are you feeling unwell today?”
She nodded and shook her head at the same time. “I don’t know. It’s okay. We can continue filming.”
“If you’re not feeling well, don’t force yourself. Take a good rest and relax,” Cayson suggested before he went to communicate with the director. The director didn’t dare to easily offend Yelena and thus agreed to this arrangement.
Cayson suggested taking her out to clear her mind, but she immediately rejected the idea.
“No need. I’ll be fine on my own for a while.”
Yelena wasn’t a fool; she could see through Cayson’s unreserved emotions for her.
If Hank found out, he’d probably tear her apart.
Plus, she didn’t like getting too close to other actors.
Just then, Federick came up from behind, and by the time she turned to look, Elspeth had already disappeared.
“Where’s Elspeth?”
Federick smiled and replied, “She had some business to attend to, so she left first.”
Yelena assumed that something urgent had happened to Elspeth since she didn’t even give her a heads-up before leaving.
“What happened? Is everything alright?”
“Yeah. She just didn’t want to disturb you while you were filming, so she told me to tell you that she left.”
As soon as Yelena lifted her head, she immediately lowered it again.
“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
He had been keeping an eye on the situation and could tell something was off with her.
She didn’t expect that he would understand her thoughts so well. Yelena felt a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red. “It’s just a small thing, really. But thank you for asking.”
Being a perceptive man, Federick noticed her evasive gaze and immediately guessed the problem.
He lowered his voice calmly and asked, “Did I offend you just now?”
“No, it has nothing to do with you…”
He smiled at her, hoping she could relax a little.
“Don’t worry too much about it. I may have gone a little overboard with my performance just now, but it was only to make sure he could see everything clearly.”
Yelena’s indecisive mood suddenly dissipated.
Since Federick had already said so, she didn’t want to overthink it. Yet, she couldn’t help asking one more question. “Do you have someone you like?”
Federick didn’t expect her to ask such a question, and he laughed awkwardly.
He stood facing the light, his expression somewhat ambiguous.
“What do you think?”
Yelena hesitated. “I feel like you do, but I don’t know who it is.”
Of course, he wouldn’t tell her the name because it would be too abrupt.
“She’s someone you don’t know, so it doesn’t matter whether you know her name or not.”
