Chapter 289 Kissing On Set

"I'm... I'm so sorry, sir."

"You shouldn't be apologizing to me but to Mr. Kooper. Goodness, you're so infuriating," the director replied.

Then, he turned to Gilbert, "Do you want to go for another take?"

"Let's do it. I have faith in her abilities."

Gilbert's words were intended for Kisa.

Kisa quietly tightened her arms by her side.

'I hate myself for being so useless. If he's able to do such a good job at acting in front of me, why can't I do the same? Since he's able to be focused, why can't I do the same?' wondered Kisa.

She felt determined once more. Then, she lifted her gaze to meet Gilbert, "Let's do it."

Gilbert smiled. His smile, coupled with the costume, made him look out of this world.

Everyone around him shrieked in admiration; he looked so dazzlingly handsome it was as if he were a fallen angel.

The director again adjusted the camera, "Scene one, action!"

"Will you return?" the male lead gazed deeply at the female lead.

Even though it was just acting, Kisa spaced out momentarily under Gilbert's intense gaze.

Regardless, Kisa quickly recomposed herself. She gripped the bag in her hands tightly and said, "I probably won't be returning. Time flies, so... It's better for you to not wait for me."

In the script, the female said this line with teary eyes. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Kisa did a great job and instantly teared up.

The male lead went in front of the female lead and stroked her hair.

His husky yet gentle voice sounded determined, "Then I'll go find you."

"You'll find me?"

"Three years. Give me three years, and I'll show up before you, " the male lead said.

Then, he embraced and kissed her.

Kisa was startled.

The kiss scene she had with Roy was not real, but Gilbert went in for an actual kiss.

Kisa felt her heart race.

She related her feelings to the character in the script and gently closed her eyes. Then, a sorrowful expression gradually appeared on her face.

Perhaps he was adhering to the script, but the kiss Gilbert gave Kisa was gentle and long. It was completely different from his previous kisses, which were dominating.

Kisa felt her heart beating faster and faster. She was afraid that she would lose herself in his gentle kiss, so she forced herself to relate her feelings to the script's character.

"Cut!" the director finally yelled.

This time, the director did not throw a tantrum. Instead, he exclaimed happily, "Good job! How wonderful! You all did great for this scene."

Kisa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the director's praise.

When she lifted her head, her gaze was promptly met with Gilbert's dark brown eyes. She felt her heart skip a beat.

Gilbert flashed her a small smile, "What did I tell you? Didn't I say that you could do it?"

Kisa turned away indifferently.

'Even if he's genuinely helping me this time, I still won't forgive all of the pain and humiliation he inflicted upon me,' thought Kisa.

Meanwhile, the director was completely enamored with Gilbert. He praised Gilbert for being a gifted actor and wanted to make Gilbert the male lead of the drama.

'But is that even possible? Gilbert's the CEO of GK Pictures. Him running over to a production crew under J & K Film Group and acting in a kiss scene was already unbelievable. How could he possibly agree to be the drama's male lead? What's more, he's a busy CEO. Where would he find the time to act in a drama?' Kisa wondered.

To everyone's surprise, Gilbert replied with a smile, "Naturally, I'd love to be the male lead in the drama. I'd like to be co-actors with Ms. Becker, the CEO of J & K Film Group. However, it's a shame that she doesn't agree."

"That's enough!"

'I don't know why Gilbert is saying all this, and I also don't know what the heck he's trying to do,' thought Kisa.

Then, in front of everyone, she dragged him to a small hill near the set.
