Chapter 1250 She Likes Him, Love at First Sight
"Just a small part, it's quite complicated. But Ms. Teeger, you don't need to worry too much. Generally, nothing happens in the first cycle. Given Derek's strong capabilities, we can wait another cycle, which is fifteen days. I'll also have someone keep a close eye on things."
"Do you know who the owner behind this cruise ship is? What kind of power is controlling it?"
"I heard Lauchelle mention something about this before. Lauchelle should know a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Natalie sent a message to Aurelia.
She told Aurelia not to worry and to wait ten more days.
How could Aurelia not be anxious?
She hadn't seen Derek for over twenty days.
She had been having nightmares for the past few days.
In her dreams, Derek was covered in blood.
Aurelia woke up from her dreams several times in shock.
She had to take sleeping pills to fall asleep.
She was becoming increasingly uneasy.
When Derek left, he told Aurelia there was no danger and that he would be back soon.
But Aurelia never asked what she should do if he didn't come back.
Aurelia only knew that Derek went to Meadowbrook City to save an elder, and nothing else.
Aurelia liked Derek, it was love at first sight.
But Aurelia realized that she didn't seem to know him at all.
Who were Derek's friends before? Who was the elder he was saving this time?
Did he go to Meadowbrook City alone or with friends? Where was Derek's hometown?
Why, with all his skills and business acumen, did he willingly work as a bodyguard for Natalie?
Aurelia always thought that once her relationship with Derek got closer, she would take the initiative to ask him, to be honest with each other.
Aurelia also hid her own family background.
But she did this to avoid burdening Derek.
She was afraid, afraid that if Derek knew she was the daughter of the Price family, he would feel the gap in their status and deliberately distance himself from her.
Aurelia prayed, hoping Derek would return safely.
10:30 AM, on set.
The director was filming, and the whole set was recording.
In Finnian's office, Penelope had finished two scenes with the B team. Instead of returning to her trailer, she came to the office.
The assistant sensibly stood guard at the door.
Penelope walked in, closed the door, and looked at Finnian sitting on the sofa.
"This morning's two scenes, that assistant director doesn't know how to shoot at all. He made me look bad several times, didn't choose the right angles. Is he a newbie?"
Finnian reached out his hand to her.
Penelope giggled and walked over to sit on Finnian's lap. "Can't we replace this assistant director?"
"This assistant director is a friend of the director. If we replace him, it would be disrespectful to the director."
"Alright." Penelope hugged Finnian's arm. "I only have two scenes today, and only two in the afternoon. Since the start of filming, I haven't had many scenes, but I have to stay here for four months. Finnian, I have another movie lined up. I want to join the new movie earlier."
"I'm afraid the director won't agree to wrap up early." Finnian placed his hand on Penelope's waist. "Your next movie isn't urgent. Finish this one and take a break. I'll take you to Regal City for a few days."
"I'm not going with you. If we get photographed together, it'll be a hassle."
"My friend has a private estate and yacht in Regal City. No one will find us."
"Can't I just wrap up early? I don't have many scenes anyway, and I'm just playing a supporting role to Natalie."
Although this movie had a big budget and Natalie was indeed a big star, playing a supporting role made Penelope uncomfortable.
