Chapter 157
[Song Recommendation: Gemini - Know Me.]
"Okay, scene three is done! You can have a rest first, Madeline Rose," Director Wang said as, once again, Madeline completed the scene in just one take without a problem.
Madeline thanked the director and went outside to get a drink from the vending machine.
But she accidentally bumped into Zane, whose gaze had already told her everything, including his anger and disappointment.
"Z—Zane, why are you here?" Madeline asked awkwardly.
But she already knew what he came here for because Nathan had already texted her about Zane, who suddenly came to the house to pick her up.
"You know why I’m here, Maddy," Zane said coldly. He strode towards her and grabbed her wrist tightly. "Why are you moving into that scum’s mansion?"
Madeline winced when Zane didn’t even try to measure his strength when gripping her wrist. But she quickly fixed her expression and replied, "It’s the right thing to do since I get a lot of haters after you announce that we’re dating. Your crazy fangirls—I mean the haters—even set up a protest in front of the production set yesterday, so I’m obviously feeling unsafe."
"So you agree when he says he wants you to move into his mansion?" Zane asked, but his gaze was so dark that Madeline hesitated to nod.
"I’m afraid those haters and paparazzi will eventually find my address and start harassing me," Madeline said. "Besides, I’m also worried about my brother. He’s only fifteen, and he’s not a very private boy. To have those haters and paparazzi lurking around my house will disturb him so much."
Madeline tried to justify her decision, and she thought she did a pretty good job of explaining it.
However, Zane didn’t look happy at all.
