287 Chapter 287: Could You Forgive Me? (1/2)
Once Dinah was alone, she phoned Ethan. She was Kylie's friend, but one thing Kylie did not know was that she was Ethan's employee first. When he answered, she told him everything that had happened and asked him to tell her what to do next.
”Let her do whatever she wants,” Ethan replied, ”but I want you to follow her around the clock to make sure that she's safe.”
Once Dinah was off the phone with Ethan, she called Stephen and relayed to him everything that Ethan had said. ”What's going on?” Stephen wondered. ”Lately, everything seems to be going crazy, and Kylie and Ethan have been acting very strangely!”
”I don't know,” Dinah lied, ”but I do know what you're talking about.”
”Why don't you and Kylie come to my place?” he wondered. ”It would be safer than anywhere else you might go.”
”Why didn't I think of that?” Dinah laughed. ”If we did that, I would be able to see you every day without violating Ethan's instructions. Kylie is back on set today, but when she is done, we will go straight to your place.”
The blind girl had always admired the killer's chief, Quintus Anthony, who liked the female knight, Larissa, and not her. During a duel, the blind girl once plotted against Larissa, which had caused Larissa to be scolded by her chief.
Kylie stepped onto the set prepared to begin up on the cliff, but she was quickly informed that they would be using a body double to finish her scene. Hearing this, her face turned red, and she began to curse out anyone with any amount of authority.
”Sally doesn't mind using a double for dangerous scenes,” the director pointed out. ”Why are you making such a big deal about it?”
”She is older than I am,” Kylie scoffed. ”Anyways, are you holding me back at the request of Mr. Benjamin?”
The director turned away suddenly and refused to look Kylie in the eyes. ”It has nothing to do with Mr. Benjamin,” he lied.
”There is no real danger in this scene,” Kylie insisted. ”Therefore, if it is not because of something that Mr. Benjamin said, you must be doubting my skills as an actress. Is that it?”
The director increased his grip on the script, and he said, ”You are crossing a line right now. I am the director here. You are not. If I want a stand-in, then we will use one. If you don't learn how to take instructions without throwing a fit, you will get a reputation for being hard to work with. Certainly, you do not want to be the next Jennifer Love Hewitt. The director spoke Hewitt's name with scorn as if it came with a curse.
”Furthermore,” he continued, ”do not forget that I could let you go and recast your role at any time!”
”I understand,” Kylie said, ”and I apologize.”
”He is definitely extraordinary,” the second man agreed. ”I heard that he is picky about which jobs he will take, though. He has made it clear that he never wants to be more than a stand-in, and he never wants his face to be shown on camera.”
The more Kylie listened, the more curious she became. His specifications were definitely strange. Once she had heard enough, she put down the script and went in the direction of the dressing room.
