Chapter 239 Mervin Does Not Regard Her as a Romantic Interest

“Why?” Jarrett expressed his disappointment at Mervin’s absence.

One of the production staff gossiped. “Is it because your girlfriend is waiting at home? Maybe you can bring her along. They had overheard his phone call earlier.

Mervin looked at him and answered with seriousness, “I don’t allow my woman to be in the public eye. I’m afraid you guys would have your eyes on her. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his eye and enchanted everyone present.

He then walked toward the cameraman and stood in his designated position.

With the camera fixed on him. Jarrett shouted, “Action!”

As Mervin shifted his gaze, he spotted a figure resembling Aria. His eyebrows knitted together slightly, and he approached Shirlene, gripping her arm tightly. “Arial”

As he pulled gently, the girl elegantly turned around. Her soft hair lightly grazed against him as she locked eyes with his deep, dark gaze.

Mervin held her waist and kissed her.

Shirlene surrendered herself to his embrace as if the world had suddenly flipped upside down.

As she read this scene in the script a week ago, anticipation filled her heart. Now, the day she had been waiting for had finally arrived. That sensation was an electric current surging through her entire body, a feeling she had never experienced before.

When the kiss ended, he let go of her and held her hand tightly. With excitement in his voice, he exclaimed, “It’s you! Do you know how long I’ve been searching for you? It’s driving me crazy!”

Silence.

Shirlene’s mind remained lost in the lingering kiss, and she forgot her lines! The two locked eyes, and she stood there blankly for a few seconds.

Mervin’s brows furrowed, and even Jarrett was taken aback. What’s happening?

She quickly regained her composure and sheepishly patted his shoulder. I’m sorry, I forgot my lines. Can we do it again?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Mervin was in a hurry, so he felt displeased. As an experienced senior in the entertainment industry who has filmed countless dramas, how could she forget her lines?

Having a keen understanding of women, he could easily see through Shirlene’s little scheme. Combined with his existing dislike for her, he felt an even stronger sense of repulsion toward her at that moment.

He stared at her coldly without uttering a word.

Her smile froze slightly as she awkwardly explained, “I didn’t mean to forget. I just-

At that moment, Jarrett intervened, “Alright, let’s try again. Merge into your character!”

“Okay.” She felt slight guilt for no apparent reason while Mervin stood motionlessly, his handsome face betraying no emotion.novelxo.com fast update

She glanced at the cameraman and the lighting technician beside her, then her gaze settled back on Mervin. “Could you take a few steps back? I’ll turn my back on this position, and you can chase after

me.”

“We won’t redo the kissing scene.” With that, he directly grasped Shirlene’s hand. “It’s you! Do you know how long I’ve been searching for you? It’s driving me crazy!” He instantly slipped into character.

She was momentarily taken aback but quickly composed herself and delivered her lines. “Corey I-1 have

my reasons.”

He fixed his gaze on her, his eyes flickering with a hidden smile. “What’s going on between you and him?”

“There’s nothing between us!”

Jarrett exclaimed, “Cut! That’s a wrap!”

Applause filled the set as they finished shooting for the day.

After weeks of hard work completing 18 episodes, everyone formed a close bond and achieved high work efficiency. To celebrate their achievements, they decided to have a small gathering tonight.

Mervin nonchalantly picked up his jacket and left while Shirlene’s gaze followed his slender figure, her eyebrows furrowing.

“Isn’t Mervin going to join us?” The assistant was puzzled.

Jarrett responded, “He won’t. Let’s prepare to leave. Don’t stay out too late tonight. We have some crucial scenes tomorrow essential to the whole drama.”

Since Mervin was not going to be part of the gathering, she had no interest in attending either. With her fame, she had the luxury of choosing when to walk the red carpet based on her mood. She would not bother spending time with these supporting actors for dinner and casual conversation.

There were rarely any genuine connections in the entertainment industry, as everyone either praised or belittled each other.

“Mr. Porter, I won’t be joining either.” Shirlene put on the expensive sun protection clothing she had bought. “See you tomorrow.”
