What he said made Nico wary. Did this reporter also take a fancy to Ellie? However, no matter what his
purpose was, Nico was now determined to have her. No one could ruin his plan.
Saniyah, who was being ignored by the side, was very, very unhappy at this moment. These two
handsome men never looked at her since they got in the car. They were always looking at Ellie and
talking about her. Ellie was no equal to her in terms of beauty. Why did they only look at her? Saniyah
was nearly going crazy out of jealousy.
Ellie did not notice the undercurrents between the three of them. She was attracted by the scenery
along the way.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. It seems like we've in Utopia." On one side of the road was the sea, while on the
other were the mountains. There were fishing boats everywhere on the sea. From afar, it looked like an
intoxicating oil painting.
Nico approached her and spoke with his appealing voice, "Darling, if you like, we can walk around this
area after the filming."
"Darling?!" Saniyah was shocked. Since when did they become so close? This was a nickname
between lovers. Nico had always been very lofty and didn't quite make contact with others. Even she,
who had worked with him many times, was only called by a nickname of Sani.
What kind of charm did this Ellie have to make the arrogant Nico fall for her!
Eddie was also shocked. Could the rumors outside be true? Were they really in love?
Nico and Ellie, however, seemed to ignore them, chatting and laughing with delight.
When the minibus stopped, the director immediately instructed the staff to move the machines and
erect them. The makeup artists began to put on makeup for the actors, and the costume stylists were
getting busy settling clothes for the actors.
The actors looked glamorous from outside while they had to suffer much more than an ordinary person
would do. Shooting winter scenes in summer and wearing short sleeves in winter was the easy part.
The most unbearable thing was reversing day and night. The internal clock was completely out of
order. If they kept working like this for a long time, their faces would be pale, their dark circles thick, and
their skin darkened. Moreover, these problems were hard to improve. No matter how much money they
earned, they could never make up for the lost sleep time.
Ellie was shocked by how Saniyah looked after she put off her makeup. She looked terrifying. The
black circles under her eyes were so thick as if she were smoked. And her coarse pores looked terrible!
The most terrifying thing was the freckles. Normally, she couldn't see them through the thick makeup.
She didn't expect that her plain face would be so terrifying.
She sighed implicitly and touched her face. Her skin was fair and smooth, just like a boiled egg peeled
off the shell. She rejoiced that she was still young and took good care of her skin. She would rather die
than be like Saniyah since she cared about her look so much.
At this time, Nico's manager, Vincent, walked towards Ellie. "The next scene will be the one where Nico
drives a sports car on the mountain road. Did you know that?"
"I knew that. He told me about the filming today on our way. He will be hunted down by underground
organizations because he offended them. It is said to be very exciting." Ellie blinked her eyes,
wondering why he asked this.
Vincent nodded and looked at her with a warning. "The process will be very dangerous later. You may
watch it, but don't make any noise, in case you may affect the sound gathering procedure." He warned
her not to affect Nico later on.
Ellie rolled her eyes at him. That was no need since she knew well of what he just said. Besides, she
was also going to get in the car. Originally, she didn't need to, but then Nico told the director to add this
scene where the male lead and the female lead drove to run away from the underground organization.
What a loving scene. Just thinking about it would be exciting.
"Well then. If you affect Nico's performance, the director will get mad." Vincent said angrily.
Well, our big director wouldn't get mad at me. You were the most arrogant one. Ellie waved her hand
irritably, "Got it. I'm going to change clothes. Be good by yourself."
Ellie ran over to Nico who was rehearsing with the actors in the play, ignoring the surprised gazes of
others.
Nico asked the other actors to rehearse first and took her to the side, "Baby, what's up?"
"Nico, I'm so nervous. I heard that we're going to shoot a car chase later. The director said that the
mountain road is not easy to drive on. Do you think it will be dangerous?"
"No, the special effects team will take precautions. Moreover, with me here, I will definitely protect you."
He patted her shoulder and whispered, "If there's no one else here, I'll hug you, baby, you're so cute."
Ellie was a little embarrassed. This iceman turned so enthusiastic all of a sudden that she could barely
get used to it. However, she did enjoy being called "baby" since he looked and sounded so attractive.
The director was telling the actors to get ready. Ellie realized that she hadn't changed her clothes yet.
She hurriedly said, "Nico, I'll go change clothes first. See you later."
Nico pinched her face and said gently, "Baby, you little dummy. Hurry up and go. I'll wait for you."
Ellie had an indescribable feeling. She was a little disappointed and a little disgusted. So it turned out
that Nico was nothing more than that.
She liked him when there was a distance between them. Only by chasing after him would she feel a
sense of accomplishment. Now that he had come to her, it didn't feel so good.
Ellie was also shocked by her own thought. She hurriedly returned to the makeup room. Saniyah had
already put on her makeup and changed her clothes then. She threw a glance at Ellie with a smile, but
it could tell that it was a disdainful glance.
Ellie ignored her and asked the makeup artist to quickly pick up her clothes.
"What did you say to Nico?" Vincent said, unhappy. He didn't want Nico's mood to be affected in any
way.
"Nothing." Ellie obviously didn't want to talk to him.
MIS Fang was extremely angry. He really wanted to talk about this girl, but with so many people
around, he didn't want to see her in general. He could only run to Nico dejectedly, wanting to persuade
Nico to stay away from Ellie.
Saniyah wasn't involved in this scene, so she watched it as an audience. She was looking forward to
the next scene with Nico, where she seduced Nico at a bar, they kissed fiercely later on.
After a while, the director shouted "action." Nico, Ellie, and a group of stuntmen who played members
from the underground organization began to drive on the winding mountain path. That moves were
absolutely soul-stirring. The two cars suddenly vanished in the dust and rushed out again. The scene
was filled with the loud sound of bullets from time to time. Those who did not know about special
effects would sweat profusely for such a performance.
There was still one more turn to take, and the racing show was about to come to an end. Everyone was
about to complete their work.
Suddenly, Nico's car skidded and crashed into the mountain wall. Saniyah screamed in fright and the
crowds were in a mess.
Obviously, this was not in the plots. The car was only dodging rather than bumping in the scene. Good
Lord, it couldn't be an accident, please.
Everyone ran over, and the director was so flustered that even the microphone on his head fell off.
When they got to the car, the staff found that the front of the car had been completely destroyed. The
airbag had bounced out and Nico was stuck in the passenger seat. Beneath him was Ellie, who was so
scared that her face turned pale.
"Nico, how do you feel?" Vincent asked Nico and shouted to ask the others to call the ambulance.
The reporters wouldn't let go of this moment. The flashlights made it hard for the crowds to open their
eyes.
"Stop it! Didn't you see that he was injured? Get out of the way! Don't stand in the way!" Vincent got
mad. These reporters were too heartless. They only knew about taking pictures. Even if Vincent loved
money and was ungrateful sometimes, he still cared about lives.
Saniyah knew how to make use of the media. She took the opportunity to run to Vincent and
righteously repeated what he had just said. Then she bent down and encourage Nico to hold on for a
while. She said the ambulance was on the way. The reporters caught sight of it. They raised their
cameras and used a lot of negatives.
Even Eddie hesitated for a while before joining the filming team. Although he was also worried about
Ellie, it was still more important for him to have first-hand news. He had to finish filming and write
quickly, trying to send it out before the other media.
Not long after, the ambulance arrived, sending Nico and Ellie away, followed by Saniyah and Vincent.
Saniyah was taking care of Nico, and so was Vincent. No one was there for Ellie. She lay alone on the
ambulance, her lips pale, recalling the scene of the accident.
...
"Baby, I heard that there's a water show in Venice Water City today. If you want to see the show, we'll
go after work today." Nico looked at Ellie with affectionate eyes. "The director has agreed to add two
more scenes for you, and they were originally Saniyah's scenes."
"Really? That's great! Then Saniyah must get mad. And the water show, I'm going there as well!" Ellie
shouted happily.
Nico nodded. "After the movie is finished, there will be a celebration banquet, followed by a series of
press conferences and public meetings. We will be very busy, so we have to rush now."
"Busy? I don't care. I'm young. Even if I don't sleep for a few days or nights, it won't be a problem." Ellie
waved her hand without any worry. In the past, when she played the Legend of Swords, she had tried
not to sleep for a week.
Nico glanced at the rearview mirror. The underground organization's car was already approaching. The
chase officially began. "The car behind us is catching up. Darling, I'm going to speed up now. Sit tight."
"Great, speed up now! It must be exciting." Ellie was not afraid at all, but rather very excited.
Nico smiled, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, which was hard to catch. He stepped on the
accelerator and the speed of the car instantly soared to 160 yards. This was really a flying car.
"Amazing! The wind is so strong! So much fun here!" Ellie excitedly embraced the wind that came from
the speed of the car.
Nico tightly gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his expression relaxed. "Baby, sit tight. The car
is too fast. If you move around, it will be dangerous."
Nico tightly gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his expression relaxed. "Baby, sit tight. The car
is too fast. If you move around, it will be dangerous."
