A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 240 An Accident

Chapter 240 An Accident

It was the first time that she had been lifted on wire. With excitement and freshness, she flew up and down in the air of a few meters, like a fairy.

There was not even a moment when the eyes of Zac were looking away from her. On the one hand, her elegant and fairy like posture fascinated him, and on the other hand, he wanted to ensure her safety.

Just as she was fighting with the Demon Warlord, the lifted arm suddenly took a turn, and the steel wire on the wire machine slipped out of its track. The people in the air almost fell straight.

Helplessness and fear overwhelmed her. As she fell, Essie closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she would be smashed to pieces by the accident.

However, after a long time, the expected fierce collision did not come. The floor was soft and not hard at all, and her body did not hurt.

But she didn't dare to open her eyes. Her heart was still pounding in extreme fear until she heard an anxious voice, "You little fool, are you all right? Open your eyes and look at me. "

She nervously opened her eyes a gap and found herself lying in the arms of Zac. His face was pale and the corners of his mouth were slightly trembling, as if he had not recovered from the scary scene just now.

"Icy guy, are you the one who caught me?" Tears welled up in her eyes, and her small hands held his clothes tightly.

He nodded and asked with concern, "Did you hurt anywhere?"

She shook her head. Luckily, the wire was only five meters high. Otherwise, it would have been more or less injured even if she had been caught by him, and his arms would have been damaged due to the

strong impact.

Jim was also hanging in the air. The SWAT team put him down. Eva, who was changing her make-up, in a hurry running out after hearing the accident. It was a little relief to see that Essie was safe and sound.

"What's going on?" Jim roared in rage.

The Swat immediately checked Essie's wire and found that the screw hanging on the wire had been loosed.

"Haven't you checked it before?" Asked Jim sullenly.

"I went to have dinner after checking the machine. It is impossible to get loose." The security guard said with confusion.

"In the future, before actors and actresses are allowed to go to wire, the machine must be strictly checked again," the assistant director reminded.

Jim moved this scene to the back and asked other actors to continue their acting. His assistant hurried to inform the second heroine, Melanie who had just arrived Hengdian this afternoon to come to the film set., waiting for Evan's story to be finished. Then it was her turn.

Melanie came faster than she expected. Before Essie removed her make-up, she arrived.

"I heard there was an accident as soon as I arrived. Are you okay?" She walked closer to Essie and asked.

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Essie shrugged and gave a glance at her from the mirror. She hadn't had much contact with Melanie. And what she asked surprised her a little.

Melanie was one of the four most famous actress who ranked same as Nicole. And she was also called the most beautiful lady in the entertainment circle. It was said that she was Jim's secret girlfriend. However, no matter it was at celebrities parties or in friends' party, they had never seen him took her along. So the rumor was true and not, needed to be proven. The entertainment circle was full of questions. It was not easy for outsiders to see through it.

"It's good to hear that. Hanging wire is very dangerous. I also had an accident before." Melanie smiled, with mixed feelings in her eyes.

In the evening, after the work of the filming team, Essie proposed to eat barbecue. Eva introduced a relatively famous barbecue shop nearby. Many stars would eat a late night meal there after the work.

Zac was assimilated by Essie in Yang City. He often accompanied her to eat barbecue, spicy hot pot and fried river vivipara. It was the first time for Jim. He used to go back to the villa after finishing work before. He seldom stayed outside.

She found Melanie and her assistant were in the restaurant too.

Melanie stood up right away and said, "King Jim, I didn't expect you to eat a late night meat here, too." She smiled.

"You can come here, but why can't I?" Jim curled his lips and gave a faint smile.

"Melanie, would you like to join us?" Essie asked. She was a tiger in disguise. She could greet her enemies, friends or unfamiliar people with a smiling face.

Unlike her, Eva was straightforward. She had a clear distinction between love and hatred. She didn't want to talk to people she didn't like. She had a bad impression of Melanie. She was once acting to be her maid. Because she broke her glass accidentally, Melanie not only scolded her, but also slapped her in the face several times under the cover of acting.

"Don't talk nonsense. We are just working together and we don't know each other very well in private. You will feel restrained to eat together." As soon as she finished her words, Eva dragged Essie into the room.

Melanie wanted to sit next to King Jim, but he didn't ask her to join him. She didn't dare to move, so she had to sit down sulkily.

"Eva has just acted as the leading role. What's so special about her? She's not even famous yet, but became arrogant." To flatter her, her assistant criticized Eva at once.

"Don't talk nonsense. Do you want to be shot by paparazzi?" Melanie whispered, and the assistant immediately shut her mouth and dared not to say a word.

In the room, Jim decided to punish himself with three glasses of wine and apologize for what happened on the wire.

Essie smile, "It's none of your business. It's just an accident."

Zac's eyes were sharp and deep. His intuition told him that this was not a simple thing. "Be careful these days." He urged.

Jim knew what he meant. If someone did something bad to the crew, he would be dead.

Essie picked up the menu and looked at it. "King Jim, can you eat spicy food?" She asked casually.

Jim squinted at her and asked in a flirtatious voice, "How could you control Chinese prickly pepper if you can't? eat spicy food." A phrase with a double meaning.

Eva stared and stuck out her tongue at him, trying to subdue her? Indulge in wishful thinking!

"Let's drink a toast to the success of shooting 'War Emperor'," said Essie in a loud voice.

"Okay." Eva raised her glass with a smile.

After toasting each other, the four drank one.

Essie put down the glass and sighed softly, "I have found out that actors are so brilliant on the screen. They have to suffer a lot during the hard time of being off the screen. It's very hot outside. However, in order to comply with the shooting, the actors and actresses had to wear many heavy clothes to finish the shooting."

"It's especially hard for nobody, especially a body double. I used to be a stand in for Bonnie. In severe winter, I soaked in the river for one hour and almost passed out." After a pause, Eva glanced at Jim and changed the subject. "But those celebrities and the king of the entertainment world don't have a hard time. They have body doubles when they are tired or in danger. They don't need to go to the stage themselves at all."

"Haven't big shots gone all out from the trivial role players?" Jim glanced at her.

"You're right. But there are a lot of women who go to bed with the directors, sneak in or lean on their families to improve their status." A mocking smile flitted over the corners of Eva's mouth.

"Then how did you get here?" Jim raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"By attaching!" "I climbed up here with the help of the husband of my bestie," said Eva, with a smile on her face.

"You do have a clear estimation of yourself." Jim smiled.

"Men who suit their actions to the times are wise. Since the entertainment circle is a big shot, I have to cooperate with it." Eva curled her lips.

"Since you are getting smarter, why don't you express your gratitude to your boss?" A wicked glint flashed in Jim's eyes.

"Humph!" Eva rolled her eyes and said, "I'm now a signed artist of Sino Star. The husband of my bestie is my boss. It's none of your business."

"I am the director and producer of the 'War Emperor'. You are one of the actors of the latter. Naturally, I am half of your boss." He said slowly.

"You are right." Essie interrupted, "Eva, make a toast to King Jim. Thank him for taking care of you in the next three months." Then she pinched Eva under the table secretly.

Eva had no choice but to pick up the glass. "My dear half a boss, here is to you." Then he raised her head and drank off the wine in the glass.

"You are worthy to be taught. Don't worry. I will take good care of you from now on," said Jim as he nodded, with an evil and attractive smile on his face. His tone was ambiguous and intriguing.

Essie smiled, with two lovely dimples on her cheeks.

Zac wrapped his arms around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "My dear wife, are you the mediator or the matchmaker?"

Hearing that, Essie was stunned. Matchmaker? How was that possible?

One of them was a game love affair, the other was a playboy and the other was a playboy. She couldn't imagine what would happen between them.

"No, I don't think they are a good match." She shook her head vigorously.

"What do you mean?" Eva heard her talking to herself and asked curiously.

"Zac wants to eat spicy meat, but he is always afraid of spicy food, so I say it is not appropriate." Essie made up an excuse quickly. Then, she picked up a lamb kebab without pepper and handed it to Zac.

"Don't be so nervous. It doesn't matter if I eat a little spicy food." Eva smiled, "The taste of people in this River City is the most diversified. We can eat sour, sweet, spicy and numb food."

"You are easy to be satisfied." The corners of Zac's mouth were slightly raised. In a pampering manner, he stroked the head of Essie.

Looking at the sweet couple, Jim jokingly sighed, "Alas, I even want to get married as you are so affectionate."

Zac raise his eyebrows as he joked, "If you really meet the right person for your marriage, you must not hesitate. Do what you have to do quickly, or else you will be defeated by others." If he could not be more resolute and domineering, the next second, his little fool would be taken away by Hanson.

Jim curled his lips and pretended to be dissatisfied, "You've taken away the best one. I don't know how to find again. All I can do is to rob from you?"

With a sharp eye, Zac said, "If anyone dares to covet my wife, he will regret living on the earth." She said those words one by one, threatening and destructive.

Squinting at him, an idea occurred to Essie. If he knew that she was this evil woman, Cathy one day, would he still protect her like this and never let her go?
