Chapter 1254 This is My Husband
Rocco said, "Ms. Teeger handled those smiles in the shots so well. Looks like I need to learn more."
Although Natalie had decent acting skills, she was self-aware.
Her acting wasn't particularly outstanding, not top-notch, but she was always secretly practicing her lines, rehearsing facial expressions in front of the mirror, and constantly improving.
She always wanted to strive for better.
She had a tenacious spirit.
Natalie just smiled, "Mr. Hightower, you're too kind."
She knew what Rocco was up to.
He just wanted to curry favor with her, build a good relationship.
To get more screen time.
After all, the male lead hadn't been finalized yet. He and Eloy had been trying to cozy up to her for this reason.
Natalie did have the direct power to decide the male lead, but she preferred to follow the storyline.
She didn't want to make a final decision based on personal feelings.
Everything had to follow the plot, and the current four-month schedule was just for filming the first part.
The second part would be the final version.
Who the male lead would be depended mainly on the considerations of the entire writing and production team.
"Do you have time tonight?"
Natalie was about to refuse Rocco's invitation again.
But unexpectedly, the director said, "How about we have dinner together tonight? I went to a barbecue place a few days ago, and it was pretty good. Let's invite Anouk too."
Natalie hesitated for a moment, ready to agree.
If she refused now, it would seem a bit arrogant.
Suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind, "She doesn't have time tonight."
Natalie froze on the spot.
That voice, she couldn't possibly not recognize it.
It was Adrian.
How could he appear in Suncrest City, and at her filming set?
Natalie turned around, looking at Adrian standing behind her, her eyes suddenly filled with a mix of excitement and joy, "You—"
It really was Adrian.
Adrian's arrival made her both surprised and excited, but also a bit nervous.
The director and Rocco also looked over, seeing this imposing, handsome man.
Finnian immediately introduced, "This is Mr. Howard."
Just "Mr. Howard" wasn't enough to make them react.
After all, a few investors had visited the set in the past few days.
Natalie walked over to Adrian, took his arm, and smiled as she introduced, "This is my husband."
So this was Adrian.
Adrian's powerful aura and overwhelming presence made Rocco break out in a cold sweat. He didn't even dare to look Adrian in the eye.
This man, whose name was only heard in legends, was now seen in real life.
The entertainment industry was never short of gossip.
But ever since the rumor that Natalie had married into a wealthy family, she had been living in the eye of the gossip storm.
And it wasn't just women who gossiped; such explosive news caught everyone's attention in the entertainment industry.
The director had been in the entertainment industry for many years, had seen many artists, and worked with many big names, but this legendary Adrian, who looked so young, gave him a chilling feeling.
The director couldn't even hold Adrian's gaze for more than three seconds.
Finnian immediately said sensibly, "Director, I'll give Natalie some time off. Let's reschedule her scenes for later."
