Chapter 262 The Elusive Margaret
His warm breath hit Margaret's ear, making her giggle.
Margaret blushed. "What are you even saying? Lyle and I were just acting."
"Acting or not, it's still not cool!" William snapped.
Thinking about the close scene between Margaret and Lyle, William's eyes blazed with anger. He leaned in and kissed Margaret's tempting lips.
Margaret's words got totally cut off. Her mind went fuzzy from the kiss.
Lyle stood nearby, watching, his eyes going dark. He could tell Margaret was distant during the shoot. But she was making out with William in front of everyone now. His heart sank bit by bit.
Not just Lyle, but the whole crew saw Margaret and William's steamy kiss. The staff huddled in groups, whispering and gossiping.
"Didn't Ms. Scott and Mr. Fisher break off their engagement? What's going on now?"
"So what? Haven't you seen Mr. Fisher hanging around the set with Ms. Scott lately? Maybe they're getting back together."
"But I still think Mr. Pennington and Ms. Scott make a better couple."
The whispers reached Margaret, making her face burn with embarrassment. She quickly pushed William away, looking at him with urgency and annoyance. "There are so many people here, don't go too far!"
"Too far?" William smirked, looking down at Margaret, his voice low and deep. "I can go even further, wanna try?"
Margaret was speechless, rolling her eyes at William. "Boring! Go to the Fisher Group and work, don't mess with my filming!"
"You really don't wanna see me?" William's handsome face darkened.
"No." The man's breath hit her face, and Margaret patiently explained, "Didn't I say? You're messing up my filming."
Seeing Margaret constantly trying to send him away, William's eyes grew colder. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.
William frowned, a bit annoyed, but still answered.
It was Peter calling. "Mr. Fisher, there's a high-level meeting at the group this afternoon that needs your attention. What do you think?"
"I got it," William said indifferently and hung up.
"The Fisher Group has something to deal with, you should go back and handle it." Margaret stood right next to William, close enough to hear the phone conversation clearly.
"Then be careful yourself." William looked at her intently.
Then he shifted his gaze to Lyle not far away, his tone growing colder. "Especially keep your distance from that guy."
Margaret responded half-heartedly, "Alright, I know. I need to change clothes now."
Checking the time, Margaret didn't want to argue with him any longer, waved her hand, and went to the dressing room.
With deep eyes fixed on Margaret's departing figure, William put his hands in his pockets and walked away steadily.
After changing her costume, Margaret went to the set to get ready.
The next scene was with her and Skylar.
Skylar played the queen in this drama, and Aimee was the emperor's favorite, which made the queen super jealous. They met in the garden, and the queen used her status to put Aimee in her place.
Aimee, who didn't want to stay in the palace, deliberately provoked the queen, and their argument was about to blow up.
"The set is ready, all actors get in position," The assistant director yelled through a megaphone.
Everyone snapped into work mode. Margaret and Skylar, flanked by their maids, walked towards the palace path in the garden. A few seconds later, they met in the middle of the path.
According to the script, Margaret ignored Skylar and tried to walk past her without bowing.
"How dare you!" Skylar scolded coldly, "You dare ignore me!"
"Oh, sorry. My eyesight is poor, I didn't see you," Margaret smirked, speaking calmly.
"I see you've gotten cocky with the emperor's favor. Today, I must teach you some manners!" Skylar waved her hand, calling two guards to hold Margaret down.
The next scene was to throw Margaret into the muddy flowerbed that had just been watered.
Glaring at Margaret's pretty face, remembering the kissing scene between Margaret and Lyle, Skylar's jealousy flared up.
'Margaret, what right does she have?' Thinking of this, before the actors playing the guards could act, Skylar's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand, slapping Margaret hard across the face.
A crisp sound echoed. Margaret was stunned for a moment.
Skylar used a lot of force in that slap, making Margaret's beautifully made-up face instantly swell and redden.
"Cut," Wayne shouted loudly.
Everyone was shocked, this was totally off-script.
"Skylar, what's going on? Why didn't you follow the script?" Wayne frowned.
Skylar pursed her lips. "Director Cooper, I'm sorry, I got too into character."
Saying this, Skylar turned her gaze to Margaret. "Ms. Scott, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to make the scene more exciting, I hope you don't mind."
"Yeah, Skylar was just being professional, she got too into character. Ms. Scott, I apologize on her behalf," Clio, standing nearby, quickly apologized to Margaret, her attitude sincere.
Feeling a burning pain on her face, Margaret narrowed her eyes slightly.
She could clearly feel Skylar's jealousy and hostility just now, and she definitely didn't believe Skylar wasn't intentional. But, Skylar nailed that scene because the queen in the drama felt the same way about Aimee.
One could say, Skylar's impromptu slap perfectly conveyed the character's emotions.
Margaret smiled faintly. "You acted well, portraying jealousy so realistically. It's reasonable for the queen to slap Aimee, this was handled very well!"
Skylar was stunned. 'Did I hear that right? Margaret is actually praising me? This is too unpredictable.'
