Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 540

Trinity froze and turned to the door stiffly.

As expected, Frederic was standing there. There were many crew members there as well.

Trinity caught the disappointment in Frederic's eyes. She wanted to explain herself but felt choked. Her lips moved, but there was no sound produced.

Michelle threw herself into Frederic's arms in front of everyone.

Frederic froze, his hand hesitant before he patted Michelle's shoulder lightly.

"Frederic, listen..." Trinity bit her lips. "Just now..."

"I heard about it just now, and I saw it too." Frederic's voice was calm without any ruffle of emotions, but his eyes were clearly brimming with disappointment toward her.

Trinity's heart clenched, and pain spread all over her.

Frederic stepped toward her with a complicated gaze. "Trinity, Michelle's a singer and has just shifted her path to acting. She mustn't know a lot of rules. Please teach her patiently, will you? If there's something she did wrong, I'll apologize on behalf of her "

"Mr. Constable, very funny!" Millie's voice was shrill. "On behalf of her? If you're doing everything on behalf of her, why don't you act on behalf of her!?"

Frederic's gaze dimmed, but he ignored others and kept his eyes on Trinity.

Trinity's hands balled into fists before she loosened them. After some time, she took a deep breath and said shakily, "We've been reshooting this scene for over 20 times. I can't waste more time!" "Trinity, you—"

"Frederic, forget it!" Michelle inched toward him like she was wronged. "I know that Ms. Lulham looks down on me... Others have experience and talent, but I'm silly. I think I'm just not cut for this! Frederic, don't put Ms. Lulham in a difficult spot. She's a good director, and she's been guiding me patiently!"

"Patiently?" A cold glint flashed in Frederic's eyes as he glanced at the mess on the ground.

"It's... It's all my fault! Ms. Lulham wouldn't lose her temper if I hadn't been so slow to learn! I wouldn't keep getting picked on too, otherwise..."

Michelle tried to hide behind Frederic as she spoke, but her expression when she looked at Trinity was of arrogance and provocation.

When Mille went up to hold her arm and gave her a look, Trinity was shaking in anger.

"Keep your cool!" Millie reminded her softly, "The more she's acting like this, the more you can't lose your sh*t! Hold it together. She'll have a taste of her own medicine in a while!" "What do you mean?"

As soon as the question was asked, a sweet voice rang. "How's the shooting going? Why is everyone gathered here? Are we done for the day?"

Everyone froze before they launched into action. The assistant director and logistics staff fetched the chair and adjusted the heater with bright smiles.

Cordelia smiled back at them politely as well.

When the scene had to be retaken for the umpteenth time earlier, she received a complaining text from Millie. Millie knew what she was doing. Not only had she reported the situation at the set truthfully, but she had also secretly recorded Michelle and Trinity's private conversation and sent it to her.

It was clear why Trinity had thrown the script.

Cordelia approached Trinity, taking in how the latter was pale with trembling hands. She held them softly, and her heart ached when she came in contact with how cold the director's hands were.

"Mr. Constable, what brings you here?" Cordelia's smile did not reach her eyes. "Did Ms. Lulham give you a character too?"

Frederic was embarrassed, but Michelle interrupted sarcastically, "Aren't you here too, Ms. Jenner?"

"It's normal that I'm here." Cordelia's voice was not loud, but her presence was felt. "As an investor representative, can't I come to take a look at the shooting progress?" Michelle stayed silent.

Cordelia continued. "I heard that there's a scene that got stuck. Doesn't look like Ms. Lulham's style here."

"I know, right?" Millie added fuel to the fire. "All my scenes get passed with just one take but look at this now! Sigh, can't let this get out, or I'll be embarrassed!"

"You're the award-winning actress here. You wouldn't be embarrassed."
