Chapter 73: Jealousy
The set was completely silent as Charlotte and Lily gazed at the rising sun, the golden light painting their faces while the morning breeze brushed against their skin through the rolled-down car window.
The moment felt serene, like a gentle stream that could wash away stress in an instant.
The director should have called "cut" five minutes ago, but he couldn’t bring himself to break the peace. The way Charlotte and Lily sat there, lost in the moment, was too beautiful to interrupt. So, he let the camera roll, capturing the moment before him.
Finally, after the sun had fully risen, he exhaled. "And ... cut!"
A wave of murmurs and quiet applause rippled through the set. Crew members rushed in immediately, draping warm jackets over Charlotte and Lily before they could start shivering.
"Charlotte, that was incredible!" Logan looked as if he was about to tear up after witnessing her performance. "Damn it! Every shot you take is perfect! You should have never left this industry!"
Charlotte let out a soft laugh at his dramatic reaction. "I’m glad you liked it, Mr. Barnes."
"Like it? I love it!" Logan ran a hand through his hair. "That little vacation you took? Yeah, it definitely worked. You’re better than ever, Charlotte."
Tatiana, who was sitting beside Logan, casually added, "Maybe it’s not just the vacation, but the fact that she went with Mr. Sullivan."
"Yes! Has Mr. Sullivan been good to you?"
Charlotte blinked, momentarily thrown off by how quickly the conversation had shifted from her performance to her relationship with Damon.
