Bruce clenched his teeth. He had always been successful in matters of the heart, but now Alice had managed to bruise his ego.
The more she resisted the idea of doing a kissing scene with him, the more determined he became to make it happen.
However, he didn’t just want to do it he wanted to capitalize on the opportunity.

“What’s all the fuss about? As a celeb, professionalism is crucial! Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you forget your work!” Bruce’s face twisted with mockery.
After a brief pause, he stretched out his words, “If you’re not professional enough, then consider leaving the entertainment industry. Quit this line of work entirely. Otherwise, you’ll never escape doing kissing scenes.”
Alice gave him a puzzled look. “Are you really resorting to such childish tactics?”
Bruce let out a couple of hums, deliberately closing the gap between them. “Yeah, I’m using a bit of provocation, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong! Ask anyone else if you don’t believe me. When a role calls for it, who hasn’t done kissing scenes and intimate scenes?”
Alice crossed her arms, more amused than irritated. “So, you’re saying we absolutely have to do a kissing scene today, right?”
“Exactly. And I plan to delve into it thoroughly. I promise to make it a memory you won’t forget!” With that, Bruce waved at hand and headed to change his clothes.
Watching Bruce walk away, Alice gritted her teeth..
He wanted to turn this into a chance for revenge, to play mind games with her!
As Alan approached, he caught snippets of their conversation about the kissing scene.
Alan quickly caught on, giving Alice an inquisitive look. “Hey, you and him… have some history?”
Alice couldn’t keep it from Alan any longer and admitted, “I once helped a girl who had been hurt by that jerk. I bet with them that I could put him in his place.”
“And then?” Alan’s excitement was palpable. He was pretty sure Alice’s method was something special.
Alice rubbed her temples and chuckled. “Then, I dressed as a guy and turned him down right to his face.”
“So you almost succeeded, huh?” Alan chuckled, recalling the rumors he’d heard about Bruce for a while.
Alice’s pranks were always intriguing.
Alice nodded. “Yep, I even posed as his date for the night, and then I ghosted him.”
“Dealing with a jerk like him, that’s a slick move.” Alan nodded, though he was also a tad concerned. “But now he’s nursing a grudge and won’t leave you alone. What if your husband finds out?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Word had it that Daniel was the type to be jealous easily.
So, Alan was genuinely worried.
Alice touched her nose, cleared her throat, and answered, “I’ve already talked to my husband about it.”
“He’s not bothered?”
“Nah, didn’t pry too much. Probably doesn’t care.” Alice nodded.
“And you’re supposed to do a kissing scene with this guy, and your husband’s okay with it?” Alan was skeptical didn’t quite add up.
Daniel didn’t seem like the jealous man from the rumors.
“Yeah, I told him it’s just for the scene, a staged kiss.”
“But Bruce isn’t aiming to stage a kiss with you; he wants it to be real.” Alan was quite concerned.
If that guy actually kissed Alice, Daniel could probably get furious.
Alice smirked. “Alan, don’t sweat it. I’m not interested, and even if he’s up for it, it’s not happening!”

Just then, the director in charge of the ad shouted, “Alice, get changed and come over here. I’ll brief you on the shooting process!”
The director had been waiting for the lighting conditions, and now that they were perfect, he didn’t want to waste any more time.
Alice changed her clothes and, with Alan by her side, walked up to the director.
The director and the other crew members stood there, stunned, momentarily frozen in place.
Was this really Alice?
How could she look this stunning?
No wonder Brian had chosen her to be the face of the Blue Enchantress series for this advertising project.
This image was just flawlessly perfect.
Likewise, Bruce was just as caught off guard.
He always knew Alice was a knockout, but this was the first time he’d come face-to-face with her in her full feminine glory. He could almost say that all those other pretty faces he’d been with before faded in comparison to Alice’s radiance.
In that split second, he felt like if he didn’t win Alice over, he’d be letting down his title as the prince of romance.
“Alice, your scene starts with you coming from that flower field over there. You’ll nab Bruce and plant a fierce kiss on him,” the director outlined the scene.
Bruce raised an eyebrow, his expression hovering between a smirk and a grin as he gazed at Alice. “No problem, I’m game for getting a fierce kiss.”
Watching his enthusiasm, Alice taunted with a smirk, “So, Bruce, what kind of kiss are you picturing?”
A sk ip in Bruce’s heartbeat, and he stole a nervous glance at Alice.
Odd, why did it seem like Alice was about to turn the tables on him?
If that was indeed the case…
Bruce suddenly felt a hint of tension.
“What’s up, Bruce? Are you feeling a little jittery? If it helps, you can adjust your vibe… No worries, I’m not about to devour you.” Alice patted Bruce’s shoulder.
This version of Alice only heightened Bruce’s unease.
Bruce clenched his teeth. “Nervous? Who’s nervous? I’ve been with plenty of women; should I be shaking at the thought of kissing you?”
At this point, the director found himself a bit puzzled. “Weren’t you supposed to stage a kiss?”
“Well, I had planned to just stage it, but Bruce insisted on a real kiss. Since I don’t have Bruce’s level of popularity, I’ll just have to comply with his request.” Alice let out a sigh.
The director got the situation now, but he didn’t press further. Bruce had a reputation, and a solid background, while he was just an ad director – causing trouble wasn’t on his agenda for now.
And given Alice’s demeanor, it seemed she had no intention of turning it down.
Why be the one to read between the lines then?
Meanwhile, in the parking lot, a sleek black Maserati sat.
“Daniel, honestly, I think a fake kiss shouldn’t ruffle your feathers. No need to worry too much.” William thought that Alice knew how to handle the situation.
Yet, Daniel’s expression remained less than cheerful with a chilly undertone in his deep gaze.
Even if his wife said it was just a staged kiss, he still felt uneasy. Actually, he was annoyed by it.
“And what’s your plan? Heading in for a set visit? You might sp ook the male actor she’s working with.” William was convinced that Daniel had that ability.
After all, a guy who could explode his father-in-law’s place in jealousy wouldn’t shy away from anything.
As expected, at the next moment, Daniel swung open the car door and was already stepping out.
Seeing this, William quickly grabbed a few snack bags and followed suit. “Daniel, hold on… Are you sure you don’t want to carry some flowers or something? That way, Alice won’t get ticked off.”
Daniel had already covered quite a distance, but upon hearing this, he turned back, retrieved something from the car, and kept on moving toward the shooting location.
Watching him stride with determination, William began to feel a little concerned.
“Daniel, just remember, no brawling, okay? Don’t forget, murder is against the law!”
