Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2859: Chapter 2868: Lydia Bell Was the Last to Stay

”After watching you, I’m going back to apply my face mask and play games. I need to take good care of my face to live up to my throngs of fangirls.”

Olivia Lewis was convinced by him, ”Shouldn’t you be honing your acting skills to repay your throngs of fangirls?”

Jeremy Payne laughed loudly, teasing himself, ”Come on, Sister Olivia, you must have seen the news about me online—who’s even paying attention to my acting skills? Nowadays, a male star just needs to look handsome. Acting? Let’s see where fate takes it. Zen style~”

The Director immediately said, ”Jeremy’s acting is really good; among the young male actors I’ve seen, he’s one of the better ones.”

Olivia Lewis saw the Director genuinely believe Jeremy’s self-deprecation and said wryly, ”Director, don’t listen to him; he’s just saying that. Every time he starts filming, he’s more committed than anyone else. If he wanted to rely solely on his looks, he wouldn’t have taken on our movie.”

”True,” the Director belatedly understood.

Nowadays, male stars have scarily high paychecks, especially those who are popular; their paychecks can be terrifyingly high. Just taking on a TV series can earn them 7.5 million to 9 million.

This time, Jeremy Payne took on their project with a friendly fee of only 1.8 million, which is considered very low.

Even if he was giving Olivia Lewis a discount to take on the role, accepting at such a low fee indicated he believed in the project.

The Director figured this out, and suddenly felt invigorated, filled with passion.

Lydia Bell was the quiet one among the few, calmly placing the fruit basket she brought on Olivia Lewis’s bedside table, and then she hid behind the others, watching them chat.

The group chatted for about half an hour, and the Director first noticed Olivia Lewis was tired and sensibly suggested visiting another day.

The others also realized the time and bid Olivia Lewis farewell before heading out.

Lydia Bell lingered until the others left before moving to Olivia Lewis’s bedside, awkwardly looking at her and saying, ”Senior, are you alright?”

Olivia Lewis had noticed her from the beginning but didn’t want to initiate a conversation when Lydia hadn’t. Now that Lydia came over to greet her, she naturally smiled, ”I’m fine. I heard from Sunny about what happened that day; thank you for calling the ambulance for me.”

She graciously thanked her and brought up the ambulance, making Lydia a little flustered. She waved her hand, stammering, ”No... Thank you is unnecessary... I simply did what I should have... I didn’t really help much.”

”To me, you were a big help. Otherwise, I would have been left there, losing more blood, and probably wouldn’t have recovered as fast as I did,” Olivia said with a smile.

Olivia’s natural and open attitude affected Lydia, helping her relax, ”I just did what I should have; the others were too shocked at the time. They would have reacted and called the ambulance too.”

She didn’t know why, but facing Olivia Lewis, she instinctively blurted out, ”I asked my Manager to get me an Acting teacher.”

”Hmm?”

Lydia bit her lip, feeling embarrassed after she spoke, and found an excuse for her words, ”I mean, I got an Acting teacher—I will definitely play that role well in ’Time Knows’! I won’t be worse than you!”

Haha!

This girl is so straightforward.

Olivia Lewis’s eyes sparkled beautifully, ”Is that so? When I’m well, I definitely want to see your acting.”
