Chapter 378 Whose Home

Elspeth noticed him trying to flirt with the girl, and she smacked his forehead. Stop doing that!

“I wasn’t.” Skylar had never been in a relationship before. She had a lot of suitors, but she liked none of them. Now that a handsome guy was flirting with her, she felt her heart race.

“Stop teasing her. She gets shy easily. Now get ready. We’ll be shooting a short later.” Have to start things off quickly.

Jethro frowned. “That soon?”

“Yes, and I have the perfect theme?”

“Which is?”

Elspeth slapped her thigh. “The romance between a school bully and the adorable top student. You’re the bully, and Skylar’s the cute student.”

Jethro’s frown deepened, and he pointed at himself in confusion. “You want me to be the school bully?”

“It’s the perfect role for you. You used to be one.”

“Yeah, I used to. Not anymore, alright?” I’m not a bully anymore.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s the perfect theme.” Elspeth would allow no protests, and she even gave him some incentive to make him take the offer. “If you work with her, I’ll go home with you tonight.”

A smug smile had curled Jethro’s lips. “Your place or mine?”

Elspeth smacked his head. “I’m just giving you a chance to drive me home tonight.”

Skylar watched them mess around, and then she realized something. I might be the lead role in the short, but I’m an outsider here. She bit her lip, a hint of venom flaring in her eyes. Why? I’m supposed to be loved by all. Why are they ignoring me?

Elspeth was teaching Jethro a lesson, so she didn’t notice the change in Skylar’s expression at first. When Elspeth noticed Skylar’s dark look from the corner of her eye, she realized they might have been messing around a little too much.

“It’s getting late. We should go to the shooting location now. I’ve informed the cameraman.” Then, the three of them went to the set.

The cameraman Elspeth called was a man she met abroad. He came back to start a business here, and since he was free at the moment, Elspeth asked him to help out. Herman had been living in another country for years, so the moment he met Elspeth, he gave her a tight hug. “It’s been a while. Miss me?”

The hug annoyed Jethro, and he forcibly pulled them apart. “Hey, that’s borderline harassment, bucko. Watch yourself,” he hissed. Jethro was a mischievous and fierce lad most of the time, and he could be scary if he wanted to.

“He’s the cameraman for the day. Show some respect.”

Herman didn’t mind. He could tell that Jethro liked Elspeth, and a big smile curled his lips. “Didn’t think you’d attract young lads.” He’s about five or six years younger than she is, and he’s quite possessive.

Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Your job is to film, not tease.”

“I’m not teasing. Look at him. If looks could kill, I’d be dead by now.”

Elspeth turned around and saw Jethro glaring at Herman like he killed someone Jethro loved. It was accurate to say that Jethro wore his heart on his sleeve. “Jethro!”

Only then did Jethro move his gaze away.

“Calm down, lad. I’m here to shoot, and I’m not interested in your big sister. I’m married.” He raised his hand, showing off the big diamond ring on his finger.

Jethro finally calmed down and beamed at Herman. “You should’ve opened with that.”

Jethro left a good impression on Herman. He’s interesting.

The three of them were chatting happily, while Skylar—who came late because she went to reapply her makeup—was ignored. When Skylar saw that Elspeth was surrounded by two men who were chatting with her happily, her face fell. Why is she so lucky? Not only does she have Jethro following her around, but now she also has another hot guy talking to her. Envy filled her soul uncontrollably, and she clenched her fists.

She only asked me to star in the short because she wants to laugh at me. She’s showing off by making me watch as hot guys revolve around her. That b*tch. Just because she’s a president doesn’t mean she can do as she pleases. Just when Skylar was imagining the tragic end of Elspeth, Elspeth came and tapped her on her shoulder.

“Stop spacing out. The cameraman’s waiting. Go now.”

Skylar snapped out of it and stopped sneering. “Okay, I’ll go now.”

She looked at Jethro, who was waving at her with a smile, and she blushed. She then trotted over to him.

Elspeth saw her off, but she had a weird feeling about the girl. She seems different than I expected. However, she got rid of that thought soon enough. The short’s filming took priority, so everything else can wait. Elspeth combed through her hair with her fingers and followed the girl.

Herman told them about his style of filming and the content, and the leads agreed to it. However, the shooting process wasn’t smooth. For some reason, Skylar wasn’t good at smiling. Her smile was tense and stiff. No matter what kind of tip she was given, her smile remained stiff.

Left with no choice, Herman went the roundabout way and avoided filming the front of her face as much as possible. After much difficulty, they finished filming the first video. The post-production would also be handled by Herman.

Elspeth bade Herman goodbye, but before he left, he smiled mysteriously. Elspeth shrugged it off. After she took Skylar and Jethro back to the company, she received a text from Herman. ‘That girl isn’t as nice as she looks.’

Elspeth stared at the text. Even Herman noticed it? She was reminded of that evil smile on Skylar’s face earlier, and she was shocked. I think I should keep a closer eye on her.
