The assistant director was redoing some shots with Allison.
Meanwhile, Gavin was on the phone with Penelope’s agent, Charlie. “Yeah, the stand-in’s here. We’ve
finished shooting, would you please send Ms. Flanagan over?”
“What?” Gavin raised an eyebrow, his voice hitching. ‘Penelope’s sleeping?”
Charlie sounded irritated Gavin, keep your voice down. What if you wake Penelope up? She’s
pregnant, and she needs rest. It’s already afternoon. Whatever it is can wait until Penelope wakes up.”
Gavin was at the end of his tether. “Charlie, you know we’re shooting at Red Jack Club today, and
we’ve only rented it for one day. Everyone’s waiting, and if we go overtime, it’s gonna cost a bomb’ I’ve
already found the stand-in you guys wanted!”
Charlie retorted, “Gavin, what’s more important than Penelope’s rest? Epic Entertainment invested so
much money, isn’t it so that Penelope can have a good time shooting and rest well on set? If you wake
Penelope up forcibly and she doesn’t get enough rest, it might harm her baby. Remember, Penelope is
Mr Lindberg’s fiancée”
Gavin blew his top, chucking his phone onto the ground and laying into the assistant director,
The assistant director just stood there, taking it on the chin.
This was a first for Gavin in his seven years in the industry
Penelope was really just here to have a vacation with the baby. The worst part was that he couldn’t
afford to piss her off.
Everyone watched Gavin, getting the picture
As the makeup artist was touching up Leila’s makeup, she stood up and said, “Gavin, since Penelope
couldn’t make it, we can’t afford to delay our progress. My contract says I only shoot until 6 PM. After
that, you’ll have to renegotiate my foe”
Gavin frowned. “Leila, we’ll leave today’s scenes for another day,” he told the crew “Let’s switch up the
location.”
Leila suggested, “Gavin, these scenes are crucial. Why not let the stand-in do it? She’s a way better
actress than Penelope, plus they look alike. With some makeup and clever camera angles, no one will
notice.”
She didnt like sharing scenes with Penelope. She’d rather work with the stand-in
The assistant director looked at Allison and nodded. He went up to Gavin and said, “Yes, even though
Allison’s never acted before, she did good just now, She and Penelope look similar, so let her fill in for
Penelope. We can’t let Penelope hold us up.
Gavin glanced at Allison. She was slim and had a better presence than Penelope Upon closer
inspection, Allison was even more beautiful. He had the makeup artist work on Allison. Once done, he
could hardly recognize her
Penelope was new to the industry and didn’t have many fans, so they probably wouldn’t notice. Plus,
Penelope’s pregnancy was already causing delays
He discussed it with Allison. “You and Penelope look alike. I’m not sure what’s going on between you
two, but today, I’ll pay you ten times the usual stand in rate. Can you do Penelope’s scenes for today?
Here’s my card”
Gavin handed Allison his business card. “You’re perfect for showbiz, looks and all. If you ever decide to
get into the industry, look me up.”
Allison took the card, but she’d never considered it
Getting into showbiz? No
She shook her head. She just wanted an ordinary life.
“Gavin, you’re a friend of Sarah’s. Of course, I’ll help you.”
Allison had never acted before, but she was catching on fast. She seemed as adept as Leila, who’d
been in the biz for a decade.
Leila was overacting a bit. Allison, however, was more nuanced and put on a pretty good show.
Gavin watched Allison through the lens. She had a sweet smile, bright eyes, and flawless skin. He
nodded in approval. The last time he was this satisfied with an actress was with Noreen, an academy-
trained actress.
By the end of the afternoon, Allison had earned her pay. Gavin looked at Allison approvingly. He
thought she didn’t make much as a waitress, so she could’ve demanded more money from the
production. But Allison didn’t
He nodded, going over once again to invite her. After I wrap this film, I’ll be prepping a period drama
next year. There’s a role that suits you perfectly*
I’m sorry. Gavin. I don’t plan on it at the moment. I’ve got a job to do.”
