CHAPTER 228: CHAPTER 229: AN INTIMATE SCENE (PART 1)

"The lines aren’t supposed to be like this, right?" Vera reached out to take the script from Kris Cooper’s hand, flipping to the page she had just looked at, "I knew it..."

Kris Cooper watched her serious little expression with amusement, "How should the lines go?"

Pointing with her finger at the script in hand, Vera read out the lines, "Tonight, I’ve got serious business to take care of, but once I’m done, I’ll take care of you."

Kris Cooper frowned, "And then?"

"Then, the second female lead senses that the male lead is part of the underground, so she goes all out to seduce and test him, but in the end, despite forcing herself on him, she misses the mark..." She suddenly chuckled, "So, that means I’ll have to go after Logan Miles, haha..."

In truth, as the second female lead in this play, the only intimate scene she’s involved in, anyhow, it wasn’t real intimacy. Vera just thought it was fun.

She found it amusing, but someone else was already feeling very jealous.

The brat still wants to go wild, acting as if she wants to forcefully get involved with the male lead.

"Logan Miles is Merlin Bradley’s idol. If she knew, she’d definitely be green with envy..."

Vera dared to indulge in her imagination while her ear was bitten suddenly.

"Ah!" Vera screamed out, "Why did you bite me?"

"I’ll make a call." Kris Cooper released her, took his phone out of his pocket, walked out the door, and dialed Kenton Maverick’s number, "Change all the intimate scenes of the second female lead in ’Flame’."

"Reason?"

On the other end, Kenton Maverick sounded puzzled.

"Vera wants to play the second female lead."

"Why?" Kenton Maverick sounded surprised.

"My wife’s happy, that’s all you need to know. Just make it happen!"

Hearing the sound of Vera opening the door behind him, he hung up.

"Honey!" Vera walked to his side, hiding her hands behind and poking her little head out, "What do you think of that proposal?"

"Let’s talk inside; it’s not something I can explain in just a sentence or two."

The two went back inside. Kris Cooper casually closed the door tight. Vera spread out the storyboarding script for the advertisement on the table, sitting down on a chair, while Kris Cooper turned to the pages he had marked.

"Nothing else is really a problem, just this part. Don’t you think it could use some modification...? Actually, it might be better without the lines; adding them seems a bit melodramatic."

Vera held onto his shoulder, listening to his advice, and nodded gently.

"I also felt something was off there, just didn’t know how to rephrase it... let’s cut it then, silence speaks louder!"

Vera picked the eraser from the table to wipe off the print, while Kris Cooper casually pulled her onto his lap.

"Write while sitting."

Leaning in was tiring; this way was better for working. Vera didn’t overthink, sitting on his lap to erase the lines and marking with a pencil nearby.

"Why not add a piece of music here... what do you think?"

Wrapping his arm around her waist, Kris Cooper rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, inhaling her hair’s scent softly.

"Sure."

With the pencil head in her teeth, Vera seriously contemplated what piece to use, while the man’s gaze shifted from the proposal to her face.

Under the lamp, her skin seemed to shimmer as if glowing, the pencil tapping against her neat little white teeth, looking focused yet adorable.

Under his palm was smooth silk, and through the thin clothes, he could clearly feel the softness and tenderness of her skin.
