Wendy hesitantly made her way to the set.
The scene today was going to be set in bedroom of Lady Faye's palace.Upon the completion of her
new palace, Faye had just moved in and her maids were busy trying to tidy up the place.
The emperor came and quietly waved away the maids to surprise Faye.The scene ended up with them
making love.The emperor's mother heard about it and became furious.
She thought that Faye was an enchantress.
With some incitement from Lady Ivanka, she decided to have Lady Faye killed off.
Of course, that part would come at a much later time in the story.
For today, they were only going to shoot the scene in Faye's palace.
"And action!"
In the new palace, the head maidservant cheerfully ordered the younger maids and eunuchs, "Alright
now, be gentle! Watch it, you! Be careful, everyone! All these are gifts from His Majesty.If you break
any of them, you might as well will lose your heads!"
The maids and eunuchs nodded and moved with more caution.
The head maidservant then walked over to Faye with a smile on her face.
"My Lady, His Majesty is treating you so well.Not only did he have this whole palace built for you, but
he also gave you so many gifts.Oh, he must know how homesick you are.Have you seen all of these?
The gifts were all shipped from the south!"
In the bedroom, Faye was standing by the window, donned in red.
The window was wide open, giving her a perfect view of the bare branches and letting in the cold
wind.Her gaze seemed so far away, as if she was very lonely.
"My Lady?" The maidservant looked at her with concern.
Faye lowered her head as her hands fiddled with the censer on the table by the window.
The wind continued to blow, circulating the aroma of the incense all throughout the room.
"My Lady, the autumn wind is very chilly.You're going to catch a cold standing there for a long
time.Here, let me close it for you."
Faye remained silent and her gaze remained on the censer, lost in thought.
With a sigh, the maidservant gently closed the window.She didn't understand Faye's mood.
The emperor doted on Faye so much.He built her this palace and sent her many valuable gifts.
Yet, she was still depressed.
At this moment, the emperor appeared at the door in casual clothes with his eunuch.
When the maids gathered around to greet him, the emperor held up his hand to gesture silence.He
then waved them away, and they all obediently filed out of the room.
The emperor also waved away his eunuch, who obeyed and left the room as well.
Standing by the window, Faye saw him out of the corner of her eye and paused her fiddling
momentarily.
But a second later, she returned her gaze to the censer and toyed around with it again.She then felt the
warmth of his body.
The emperor wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
Faye stiffened.She quickly turned her head and saw that the emperor was in his casual clothes.
On the other hand, a chill ran down Luke's spine as he watched the scene.
He turned his head only to see Ryan's ice cold expression.
"Dude, calm down," Luke said.
"They're just acting, remember?" But Ryan didn't remove his cold gaze from the scene.
Kane grimaced and felt somewhat nervous for Mason.
If it weren't for the rolling cameras and the neope around them, Kane couldn't imagine what would
happen to that man.
Meanwhile, Wendy felt a pair of cold eyes bearing into her skin.
Several chills ran up and down her spine.
‘Oh, no" Needless to say, she didn't have to guess who it was.
She took a deep breath, trying to regain control of her mind and forgetting Ryan.
The scene continued to play.
Mason spoke gently as he held Faye in his arms.
"So, how do you like the palace I built for you?" Faye lowered her head.
"You built it just for me.Of course I like it."
"Is that so?"
The emperor placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him.
"Then why is there no joy in your eyes?"
"Well, all the furnishings here just remind me of home."
Relieved to hear that it was a simple matter, the emperor sighed.
"If you really miss your family, then I'll just ask someone to bring them over for a vacation."
"Oh, thank you, Your Majesty.But I'm afraid my parents are much too old to bear such heavy travel."
The emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty? Didn't I tell you to call me Phil when there's no one else around?" Faye paused and
laughed awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Phil..." He smiled in satisfaction.
Desire now burned in his eyes as he looked at Faye.
"Faye..." His voice was low and hoarse.
lt was obvious what he wanted.
Right now.
A trace of disgust momentarily flickered through Faye's eyes.
She averted her gaze, hoping he didn't see it.She took a step back and lowered her head.
"But...it's still daytime..."
The emperor didn't care.He stared lustfully at Faye.She lowered her head and turned away, revealing
the fair skin of her nape.
The sun shone on her delicate complexion.The emperor's desire burned within him.
He stepped forward to grab her hand and gently pulled her to the bedside.He pressed his hand on her
shoulder, motioning her to sit on the edge of her bed.
Faye stiffened.
"Your Majesty, please..."
"Don't be afraid, Faye..." He pushed her down and slowly pressed his body on top of hers.
Crack! A crisp, snapping sound echoed throughout the set.
Ryan had broken the armrest of his chair.
Luke's eyes widened with shock.He swallowed the lump in his throat and pressed Ryan by the
shoulder.
"They're just acting! It's just a show, dude.Calm down!"
‘Damn it! Of all days to film this scene, it had to be today! “ Luke screamed internally as he felt Ryan's
muscles tense even more.
"Why? Why now? Ah!’ He felt as if he was on the verge of losing his mind.
Ryan's eyes pierced like daggers, piercing Mason.
At the same time, Mason trembled at the feeling of a chill that ran down this back.
That cracking sound terrified him.
"Mason, focus." Carter frowned.
"Sorry."
‘This is strange.I just felt a cold gust of wind on my back" Mason looked back and found nothing that
could have caused it.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
Carter's voice snapped him back to reality.
"Keep going!"
"Okay, okay."
"And action!"
The emperor continued to press his body onto Faye.
According to the script, he lowered his head to kiss her lips, but Faye dodged it.His kiss then fell on her
neck.
The love scene came right after.
While they were shooting, Wendy did her best to get rid of distracting thoughts, but every time Ryan's
cold stare came into her mind, she would stiffen up.
"Wendy!" Carter called out.
"Your expression isn't right.You became the emperor's concubine for revenge, but you can't show it
right now.Use your eyes and your body to express the right amount of resistance."
"I'm so sorry."
"Go again."
They shot the scene again, but Ryan's expression was so cold that the temperature in the entire studio
felt like it dropped several degrees.
The shoot did not go well, as they had to reshoot several times.
"Not good.Again!"
"No.Again!"
"And again!"
The shoot was put on hold.
By this time, Carter got quite annoyed.
Wendy was a good actress.She usually only needed one take, but something was off with her today.
It didn't help that Ryan was here to watch all of this.
"Director...I'm so sorry."
Carter took a deep breath and realized that Wendy was probably nervous because of Ryan's presence.
After all, she was a new actress in her early 20s.
Of course, she would feel stressed under the watch of the CEO.
Carter's anger towards Wendy diffused at this thought.
"Wendy, I know the CEO is here.But you have to try harder."
Wendy looked down in shame, her face turning red with embarrassment.
"Director, please give me one more minute."
"Okay, go ahead."
Wendy closed her eyes and recalled the script over and over again.
‘Come on, Wendy! You're a professional actress.Act like one!’ she berated herself.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and they were clearer.
"Okay.I'm ready now!"
Chapter 300: Not Good
