My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 274: Just You Wait

Wyatt was tied to the cross, and to emphasize his injuries, the crew had already put some fake blood on him.

As soon as the director shouted "Action," Luna’s whip really landed on Wyatt’s body with the genuine sound of leather meeting flesh.

But Wyatt on the cross showed no expression, though he desperately wanted to rush over and give Luna a beating.

"Quite the temper," Melody Thorne chuckled. In the film crew, this kind of realism wasn’t uncommon.

"Director, I think the previous take wasn’t good enough, I’d like to shoot it again," Luna turned her head and said, "I’ll definitely do it better this time."

"Hmm." Director Irving stared at the monitor screen.

As a director, he always sought perfection. If it could be better, why not? Luna’s expression had been noticeably off.

This was also Luna’s intention.

"I think Wyatt’s performance was quite good," Melody commented from behind the director. "His expressions were spot on, his emotions intense; unwilling but restrained before the princess."

"Yes, he has been in the entertainment industry for a year now," Nina King agreed, "but his acting is genuinely good. There are few so dedicated, not like those veteran actors who never pass a scene despite multiple takes."

They intentionally spoke in low voices, but those preparing around still heard it clearly, including Luna, who was brimming with emotions.

Luna turned her head back, casting a hostile glance at Melody.

Starting over, Luna deliberately whipped Wyatt again and again. It was obvious she was doing it on purpose and still underperformed.

Suddenly, Melody appeared behind Luna, raised her hand, and chopped at Luna’s nape. Caught off guard, Luna was struck and fell to the ground.

"Melody, how can you hit someone?" Luna’s agent hurried over. "Don’t you have any professional etiquette? How can you strike someone?"

"Melody, explain yourself!" Luna climbed up from the ground, her face full of malice.

Melody waved her hand. "This was approved by the director. I noticed your performance seemed off today, so I thought I’d give you a little push from behind. Today, it’s just the three of us acting together."

"You..." Luna looked at the director, only to find that he was already showing signs of impatience. They were going all out, yet she kept interrupting without getting the scene right.

"Just you wait!"

The scene was shot again. Not wanting to be hit by Melody, Luna had no choice but to fully commit and try to nail the scene.

"Why help me?" Wyatt stood behind Melody.

"Because you’re handsome, maybe," Melody smiled and playfully flirted with the young actor behind her.

He was an artist under her studio, so she had to protect him, yet as his boss, she couldn’t show her hand.

Wyatt "..."

"Melody, phone call," Nina handed over the phone.

The lit-up screen displayed the name "Qin Shi Huang."

She had secretly renamed Jared’s contact to "Husband" again.

"Your friend’s name is really odd," Nina chuckled shyly.

"Of course," Melody took the phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Come out to eat."

Melody "...Where?"

"Outside the film set."

Melody "...I’m not hungry."

"Three..."

"Two..."

"Right away." Melody hung up and hurriedly headed out of the film set.

Outside, a black extended business car was parked, and Melody opened the car door.
