Chapter 2 Lucasta's boyfriend

London, June 20, 2015.

"Back again."

"Quick fast again."

The director ruffled his bald head and shouted angrily. "Fiona, you focus a bit, you are playing the role of the underdog why do your eyes always want to tear Lucasta apart?"

Fiona raised her eyebrows at the director and then back at Lucasta. "I found this script too dry and boring; I think I should add some details to make this part more interesting; what do you think Lucasta?"

Lucasta, who was practicing reading lines, also raised her head, a bright smile on her beautiful face. "I hope you guide me more."

Slap!

As Lucasta finished speaking, a firm slap landed on her face, causing Lucasta's smile to become distorted with pain.

Everyone present in the film crew was surprised to see two young actresses, Lucasta Elizabeth and Fiona Sarah.

"This... doesn't seem to be in the script." Director Max looked awkwardly at Lucasta, the victim of a slap from Fiona.

Fiona rubbed her hand, cooing. "I just wanted to create a little more content for the script to create more drama. Lucasta also agreed, how can I help her passion for learning."

"But your role is a gentle wife; how can you beat others?" Max is not very pleased with Fiona's spontaneous actions, which turn the character he worked hard on into corrupt.

"No matter how gentle a wife is when she sees her husband cheating, she will behave like me. Can you bear it?" Fiona arrogantly looked at Lucasta.

"Yes." Lucasta rubbed her red cheeks. She is just a supporting actress, and Fiona is the main female lead; she has no right to argue with her. "I can handle it, director; it's okay."

Max saw that Lucasta understood, and his sympathy for her also increased. Lucasta is the female role model in his movie this time, but Fiona has someone to back it up and take it from an investor; he has no choice but to agree.

Max shouted. "Come back."

"When filming, I usually don't like to pretend, when hitting or punching we should all do it for the best effect, I slap it, don't you mind?"

"Yes," Lucasta nodded.

Slap!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The slaps like heaven continuously landed on Lucasta's face. Her white face was now clearly marked by five finger marks, but Lucasta still had to smile patiently.

After five or six shoots, Fiona complained to the director. "Stop it director, my hand hurts."

Lucasta's eyes were red, her aunt's face was beaten without daring to say a word, and people yelled at her to hurt her hand.

"You should practice more than Lucasta; and your acting is so bad. Even if I give you another ten years, I don't think you can play on the same level as me." Fiona pursed her lips in disdain, then turned to go inside.

"I will try harder, thank you for teaching." Lucasta forced a smile and bowed respectfully from behind, even though Fiona didn't mind her sincerity at all.

Lucasta always had the feeling that Fiona didn't seem to like her; ever since they worked together, Fiona was always giving her a hard time. However, Lucasta pushed that thought out of her head and thought that Fiona just wanted to be friendly, so she was strict with her, which made Lucasta more comfortable when facing Fiona.

The scene is temporarily paused, which means Lucasta will have to receive a few more slaps in the next shot. Seeing that Fiona had just come in, there was a special care assistant; Lucasta felt a little embarrassed and found a corner of the tree to sit down. She tilted her head back to take a sip of water and rubbed the swollen wound on her cheek.

Lucasta turned on her phone, disappointment engulfing her instantly. She is apprehensive because of the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend for more than a week. At first, she thought it was because he didn't want to bother her when she got a new role, but looking at the number of messages she sent him with no response, she started to think negatively.

When she took the initiative to call Athelstan, what she always received was a long ring and then ended, or Athelstan would rush to say that he was busy and did not have time to talk to her.

Once again Lucasta called Athelstan but she still only received a bland ringing, when she had lost hope, suddenly the phone was picked up by someone.

"Is that you, Athelstan?" Lucasta was eager and looking forward to Athelstan's voice.

"Hi Lucasta, sorry I'm not Athelstan, and that might disappoint you." Athelstan's assistant teases Lucasta because her secret relationship with Athelstan is only understood by assistant Sherwin.

Lucasta hummed, covering her disappointment with a question. "Is Athelstan very busy right now? But I remember he didn't have any recent projects."

"He is busy handling some business in the family company. You knew that the Vincent family was also a big tycoon. Except as a celebrity, he has to inherit property later on."

"I see. You remind him to take care of his health." Lucasta is very worried about Athelstan; every time he works, he forgets to take care of his health.

"I have good news to tell you." Sherwin appeared mysterious, then revealed. "Tonight, Athelstan will return to London and take a room at the Rose Hotel."

Lucas was surprised. "I didn't hear him mention it."

Sherwin also didn't understand why Athelstan hadn't told Lucasta, and then he laughed. "Maybe he wants to surprise you, anyway the schedule of a star like Athelstan should not be revealed, it would affect his personal space a lot and Athelstan hates it. "

A bright smile appeared on Lucasta's face, but because of the swelling on her face, she winced in pain. "Thank you for the good news but please don't tell Athelstan that I already know he's here, I want to give him a bigger surprise than what he gave me."

Athelstan's assistant was very supportive of Lucasta and silently sent her the address of the room, even instructing the hotel to give Lucasta a spare key.
