Ashlyn heard Greg as he shouted emotionally, “Cut! That’s a wrap!”
Applause erupted on the set.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Jonathan wrapped his arms around the young woman before him, lifting her and spinning her in a circle.
Naomi paled in surprise and yelped, “Ah! Put me down! I’m so scared!”
The atmosphere was so infectious that even Ashlyn smiled.
She relished the cheerful crowd and the lively mood in the air.
Suddenly, someone called out, “The milkshakes are here!”
The crowd saw staff from a milkshake store streaming onto the set with cups of milkshakes in tow.
Just then, Greg and the others noticed Ashlyn sitting in a corner.
“Ms. Berry! You’re here!”
With a smile, Ashlyn got up from a bench to approach them.
“Filming has officially wrapped up, right?” she asked.
“Yeah, today.” Greg nodded and continued, “All we have left is editing, promotional work, and the like.”
“That’s great. Good job, everyone! Have a milkshake and rest up. Let’s celebrate this at Imperial Hotel later tonight. Dinner’s on me!” Ashlyn declared with a wave, looking every bit like an imposing leader.
The crowd was naturally elated by her offer. “Oh! That’s great!”
“Thanks for the treat, Ms. Berry!”
“Thanks for the milkshake too!”
Ashlyn’s lips curved into a pretty smile when she heard the crew and actors singing her praises. She replied affably, “Don’t mention it.”
After working together for several months, Naomi and Jonathan had developed a good rapport, especially since they now shared the same manager.
Naomi was technically Jonathan’s junior now.
Both of them approached Ashlyn, and Naomi wiped the sweat off her forehead while saying, “Hi Ashlyn, it’s good to see you here.”
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s eyes sparkled as he queried, “How did you find my last act, Ashlyn?”
She replied confidently, “Pretty good! It was really impactful. Your acting skills will only improve once you do a few more films under Director Maxwell. Anyway, you should pack up your things at the hotel and go home. Don’t live in the movie studio anymore. Jared and Isaac want you to shoot an action film next. They’ve already arranged classes for you at a training camp.”
Stunned, Jonathan stammered, “W-What? An action film? But I’m…”
I’m a top idol! How can I shoot an action film? Am I going to turn into one of those buff dudes? My God, even the thought is frightening!
Jonathan was on the verge of crying at his tragic fate.
He was an artist under Nolan Entertainment, and he questioned why Jared wanted to have a say in his career.
A curious Naomi piped up, “What about me, Ashlyn? Did you make any plans for me?”
“I’m not your manager. You should be talking to Isaac about this.” Ashlyn tapped the young woman’s head fondly and added, “Come on. Pack your things so we can go home.”
“Wait, Ashlyn… Did you come here to fetch me home?” Naomi was so moved that she tried to blink away her tears. She looked just like a little kid whose only wish was for her parents to meet her after school.
Confused by Naomi’s sudden show of emotion, Ashlyn said, “Who else could I be here for? Your brothers are both at work.”
Jonathan found himself envying Naomi. He wished he was one of the Nolans instead. That way, he could enjoy being at the receiving end of Ashlyn’s care for a change.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the craziest idea suddenly popped up in Jonathan’s mind. He was determined to marry into the Nolan family.
Poor Naomi had no idea she was now a top idol’s target.
Naomi’s greeting inadvertently confirmed Ashlyn’s status as Mrs. Nolan, though those who worked in showbiz more or less heard rumors about the relationship. Everyone on set now realized how Ashlyn could simply invest hundreds of millions on a whim.
It also made sense why Lucas treated her differently from everyone else.
After that, everyone cleaned up the filming set in earnest.
