Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2804: Chapter 2813: Livening Up the Atmosphere

Jeremy Payne has long since become a seasoned pro. Facing the reporter’s deliberate trap, he didn’t even twitch an eyebrow. With a charming smile, he defused the crisis. ”Ms. Lewis already has a boyfriend. I’m confessing to my mentor in life here. I’ve worked with Olivia once before and have witnessed her acting. This time when I got the script offer, it was because it’s a movie with Olivia as the Main Cast. So I carefully read the script. Our film is really very compelling, and I believe once it’s released it won’t let my fans down. That’s why I took this project. Apart from trusting Olivia and wanting to work with her again, the script itself is really good—it moved me.”

The reporter pressed on, unwilling to give up. ”Then Jeremy, what kind of role are you playing in this movie? Are you and Ms. Lewis a couple in it?”

”Well...” He paused, propping up his chin as if pondering how to describe it. His handsome profile once again drew a storm of flashbulbs. ”I’m playing a scumbag, I guess—the kind so scummy it makes people furious. Olivia and I aren’t a couple in the film. How should I put it... We’re not a couple, but there’s basically no difference from being one.”

He left the suspense hanging at just the right spot.

The reporter immediately followed up. ”Not a couple, but no different from one—so do you two have kissing scenes in the movie?”

The other reporters finally found something worth writing about and joined in the teasing. ”Ms. Lewis, do you two have kissing scenes in the film?”

”Does your boyfriend know? If there are intimate scenes, do you have to report them to your boyfriend in advance?”

Seeing the reporters about to drag the topic off track, Jeremy Payne hurriedly joked with the Director, ”Do we have kissing scenes in the movie or not... That depends on the Director. If the Director says yes, then yes; if not, then no. We actors can only do our best with our roles. Hey... Director, can you add a kissing scene for me?”

”Well...”

He was a new Director after all, and in front of the media he still didn’t quite know how to smooth things over. Faced with the gag Jeremy lobbed at him, he was completely at a loss and didn’t know how to pick it up.

”In the script...”

Olivia Lewis was afraid he might accidentally spoil the plot, so she quickly grabbed the mic and cut in. ”Who on earth asks for a kissing scene on the spot like this? Director, you can’t just agree to that casually.”

Seeing Olivia pick up the joke, Jeremy immediately threw out another topic to intrigue the reporters. ”Olivia, you don’t want to shoot a kissing scene with me? Hahaha, my female fans will be upset.”

Olivia knew the game perfectly well. She instantly rolled her eyes at him in a teasing, flirtatious way and continued, ”I’m just afraid your girlfriend squad will get upset, so I don’t dare shoot it. How does that saying go again? The female lead belongs to the male lead, and you belong to the fans~ I wouldn’t dare make your girlfriends unhappy~ Have mercy on me~”

”It’s for work. They’re so understanding, they’ll definitely get it.”

”I’m just afraid they’ll only understand their boyfriend and not me, the ’mistress.’”

The two of them bantered back and forth, finally giving the reporters something they could write about, and the atmosphere on site brightened up a bit.

The Host quickly seized the moment while the mood was good and chimed in. ”Today, besides our main creative team, we also have a few mysterious guests who’ve come to cheer on our Olivia Lewis. Who are they? Come, let’s invite them onstage—”
