Chapter 515 - Receiving Money (2)

This time was considered perfect, but the hero may have gone too far. When he reached Stephanie's side, he couldn't hold back his strength. When he was about to fall down with Stephanie in his arms, someone rushed out and pulled him back by his collar. Then, this person held Stephanie gently. This all happened in a blink. In the eyes of others, this person was like a shadow figure flashing over. Then, the hero and the heroine were already standing upright.

It was just that Harold was standing between the two of them.

The hero was struck dumb.

If he hadn't seen Harold standing here, he would have thought that it was a ghost just now.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and only the camera recorded the scene just now.

"Done!"

The assistant director and director stood right in front of the camera and played the footage in slow motion. They couldn't help but ask Stephanie, "What does your friend do?"

Stephanie smiled and answered, "He is a ... private bodyguard. You couldn't afford to hire him as an extra actor."

The assistant director nodded and looked at the footage with the director. "Alright, let's call it a day." He said.

A group of people began to pack up and leave.

The hero stood there and sized Harold up with a faint smile. "So, a bodyguard. Nice to meet you."

Harold nodded at him but remained expressionless.

It was an awkward moment.

Stephanie explained with a smile, "He's usually like this, cold and expressionless."

The hero smiled back at her, "Alright, see you tomorrow."

Stephanie nodded at him, "See you, Mr. Peterson."

As soon as the hero left, Stephanie asked her assistant, "Do you have a medicine kit? Any band-aid? Give some to those extra actors."

When the assistant was about to leave, Stephanie grabbed him back and whispered, "Go get some money from my wallet and give each of them an extra three hundred."

The assistant nodded, "Got it." After a few steps, he looked back at her, "Stephanie, it's so nice of you."

Harold also looked at her with fixed eyes.

Stephanie asked, "What's wrong? You also want to praise me for being nice?"

"No, your clothes are torn open."

Stephanie was shocked.

She froze for a few seconds and turned around. Her coarse clothes were indeed torn apart. It probably happened when she was pushing and struggling forcefully.

"When did you notice it?" She asked while clutching her clothes at her waist. The expression on her face betrayed her embarrassment.

"Just now."

Stephanie didn't know what to say at this point.

She went to the lounge to change her clothes and rushed over to the director. Seeing that the broken part was blocked by Harold, she finally breathed out a sigh of relief. The director also went, "Your bodyguard friend is very good. Bring him over next time."

"Alright, I'll tell him." Then, she greeted everyone on set one by one, "Director, I'll go home now."

"Okay."

"See you later."

"See you around."

"Bye! See you tomorrow!"

After greeting all the way, Stephanie went out and got her things from her van. Then, she got into Harold's car. It was not that intense today, but she slept late last night. Thus, the assistant took out her blindfold and handed it to her. "Stephanie, get some sleep."

"Isn't it too late now?" Stephanie took the blindfold and glanced at the sky outside. "Well, there are only two scenes today. Who knew that it would take so long ... Those extra actors are also pretty unlucky."

"They told me to thank you. They even said that it pays to be good. The director also praised those actors and promised to hire them next time. He even asked to add extra chicken in their boxed lunch." The assistant said, laughing.

Stephanie curled her lips and responded, "Good to know."

Soon, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

The assistant hurriedly gestured towards Harold and whispered, "Drive slower."

Harold looked through the rearview mirror and saw Stephanie sleeping in the back seat with her blindfold on. He then nodded.

The advertisement was originally scheduled for mid-March, but unexpectedly, it was delayed until the end of March. Today was already the 25th, a few days before the very end.

It was a luxury lipstick ad.

Stephanie put on lipstick before she got in the car and was ready to put on lipstick when she got out.

It was crowded down the Britt Group. Of course, Harold didn't drive past the main entrance. Instead, he brought people into a lounge through the security passageway of the back door. The makeup artist and the hairstylist who had been waiting for a long time there quickly stood up. They greeted each other and started to get into it.

Stephanie got changed, put on her makeup, and put on lipstick before appearing in the hall on the first floor.

A few photographers were already in place. Emily and the owner of the lipstick brand, Gregory, were standing outside the artificial light, chatting. Harold walked over and stood behind Emily.

Emily looked over and saw Stephanie walking out in a gorgeous red dress. Surrounded by security guards, a group of fans attempted to approach Stephanie and shouted out her name.

"Hi!" Stephanie replied with a smile.

She appeared to be very sleepy when she got off the car. Even when sitting in the dressing room for half an hour doing her makeup, she kept her eyes closed. However, as soon as she walked out into the public eye, her face immediately glowed up as if she had just returned from a beauty salon. The moment she stepped out on her high heels, the surrounding buildings seemed to light up at her appearance.

Stephanie walked over, greeted Gregory, and tried to shake hands with Emily. Before Emily could even reach out her hand, she was pulled by Stephanie. The two of them hugged tight.

"It's been so long!" Stephanie touched Emily's back and then her waist. "Why are you so thin?"

Emily was a little itchy from her touch. So she suppressed her laughter and replied, "Not much thinner."

The employees of the Britt Group immediately cried out,

"Miss Emily and Stephanie seem to be very close!"

"Indeed!"

"I heard that the two of them knew each other long before!"

"Yes! And Stephanie went to visit Miss Emily once...."

"I heard that a lot of the advertisements pulled in recently were introduced by Stephanie..."

"Wow, they seem to be so close!"

"Totally agree! I heard that Stephanie's bookmark for the script was a gift from Miss Emily! And Stephanie never changed it!"

"I'm jealous!"
