My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 528

Chapter 528

Didn’t I swear I’ll be independent? Didn’t I swear to let Ashlyn change her mind about me?

That is just a teeny insult, right?

It’s nothing!

This is just a small pebble blocking my way. I can just kick it away and continue to walk on! It’s not even an obstacle, to be honest.

Greg watched the scene without a word before he scanned Naomi sharply.

The young lady looked refreshingly pretty in person. She wasn’t timid like usual assistants were, but she didn’t get mad at Jonathan when he yelled at her rudely.

The clumsy way she poured the drink wasn’t an act either.

He then focused on Naomi’s fair and smooth hands. She must’ve been pampered since birth. He decided.

She isn’t from a poor background. Look at her hands. She obviously has never lifted a finger in her entire life.

Greg was very observant as he was a director.

The young lady’s gaze was pure and guileless. It seemed she hadn’t been corrupted by society yet. Her innocence appealed to him at once.

During the earlier interaction between Jonathan and Naomi, he could see sparks flying between them naturally. They were very similar to the characters in the script.

Finally, he withdrew his gaze and inquired solemnly, “Are you interested to become an actress? You shall play the role of the male lead’s assistant.”

“I…Really?” Naomi’s eyes rounded in shock.

Is this the director?

“Here, let’s try.” Greg flipped the script open and pointed at a simple scene. “This scene will do. The male lead is sick, so you’ll help him to the roadside to hail a cab to the hospital.”

A faint blush crept up Naomi’s face. She might be Jonathan’s assistant for over a month, but she had never been this intimate with him!

I’ll have to put my arms around him?

But of course, it was natural to be fascinated by the movie, and Naomi was no exception.

She was both curious and excited.

She had never been involved in the process of filming a movie. Nolan Entertainment might’ve been flourishing in showbiz, but she was always the parasite of her family.

Yes, I can’t be an assistant forever. I should accept the role when the opportunity arises.

I should be a part of showbiz and be an actress. It doesn’t matter even though I wasn’t professionally trained. I’m still young, right? I need to make something of myself so Ashlyn will finally change her mind about me.

Right then, the rookie Naomi was determined to make it work.

“Okay! I’ll try it out.”

Naomi read the script earnestly to familiarize herself with the character’s image, personality, living habits, hobbies, and other details.

After she was done, she studied the scene which Greg had told her to try.

About ten minutes later, she bit her lips and went to Greg. “Maxwell, I’m ready.”

Jonathan wasn’t serious about his suggestion, so he never expected his assistant would treat the matter seriously.

He rose to his feet automatically. “I’m in the scene, right? Let me help you.”

Jonathan then lay on the sofa weakly, looking like a sick person.

His assistant pushed the door open and walked in. Putting down the takeaway box as she would normally, she called out, “I bought you a burger! Come and eat it while it’s hot.”

He didn’t utter a sound.

The assistant walked to the sofa, utterly puzzled. But when she approached him, she realized something was wrong.

Surprise filled her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

Jonathan opened his eyes slowly and replied weakly, “I think I might have a fever.”

“Fever? You have a schedule tonight at the TV station! What do we do now?” She paced around the room anxiously. Suddenly, her jaw hardened as she helped him up in determination. Placing his arm around her shoulder, she announced, “I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

She supported his weight with all her strength and inched toward the door, step by step.

Actually, this scene was relatively simple.

As long as she showed her concern toward the idol, it would be a good take.
