Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 260

260 Putting Piper in her place

Director Mathew is one of the best directors in the movie industry. None of his movies have ever flopped. He has become so big that he only works on movies once a year, and the movies he directs take months to be released with lots of anticipation from fans. 1

Despite being a sought–after director, the middle–aged man only ever cares about a few artists in the industry. People like Brian and Oliver Feng Long are his number one picks for his Male lead and Second Male lead characters.

The man once said in an interview when asked the reason for bypassing other talented artists for those two and he had replied: “Wherever your heart finds peace should be where you are. Those two brats give me peace and never stress me. They have a certain amount of consideration for my age, so they do their parts with one take only, making work easier for me. They are also very handsome and are the top dogs in the industry, so why shouldn’t I use them again and again?”

Aside from the Male lead and Second Male lead roles, the man doesn’t care about what artist takes the other roles, provided they passed the audition, have great skills that rival their counterparts, are beautiful, and are well–behaved in the set.

He is a very stubborn man but every man has a weakness. Just as no one wants to offend Alpha Chaos, Director Mathew also doesn’t want to have anything to do with Chaos and his family in a bad Also, it wouldn’t be nice to be on Oliver’s bad side because he refused to cater to his needs.

way…

After the problematic Piper passed the audition, Director Mathew wanted to change her role but Feng Long wanted her to be the Female lead that would accompany him, so he couldn’t do anything about it.

He just hopes that Piper wouldn’t cause trouble like the last time, where an intimate scene took more time to shoot than a fight scene.

Piper could be seen sitting under the tree in an open field with her script in hand. She was wearing a white shirt over a medium–sized pleated pink skirt and a light gray jacket.

Her tie was a striped pink and gray, knotted beautifully around her neck. Her black hair was let down with a few silver accessories worn on her head to adorn her hair.

She looked cute and very pretty, with a carefree attitude, until she opened her mouth.

“Who are we still waiting for? If the Second Male lead is not here yet, then it means he’s not coming. Let’s just start my scene already. I have other places to be at. Piper grumbled from her seat.

“Shooting your scene first is not a problem but even so, you can’t leave the set because you have three scenes today. Two with the Second Male lead and one with the Male lead-” Her Assistant said.

“Then just ask them to postpone it! I have a blind date arranged by my brother.” She frowned.

Thinking about the date she has with Inspector Fin tonight was already causing her anxiety. For some reason, she was thinking that her older brother would also be there.

Ever since she confirmed their relationship in public, she had been sleeping with one eye closed. She wasn’t the one who announced it, she only admitted it when she was interviewed but why was she

scared?

“You’ll be fine. I’m sure the shooting won’t take a long time because your scenes are with the best

actors in the industry.” Her Assistant tried to show her the bright side.

Almost an hour had passed and Brian still wasn’t out of the dressing room. Even the patient Oliver couldn’t sit still anymore. Just as he was about to complain, he spotted Brian from the corner of his eyes, walking over in a lazy and relaxed manner.

The handsome–looking Oliver in a three–piece black suit, dressed as the wealthy CEO in the movie, wanted to show his annoyance but couldn’t bring himself to say anything because he was naturally a level–headed person who has control over his emotions.

“Oh, Brian, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you.” The Assistant director smiled.

“Who called the reporters over?” He ignored the Assistant director and fixed his gaze on Piper.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Piper threw the question at him and rolled her eyes. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she prefers Brian to Oliver. If not that her heart has been stolen by her brother, she would have chased Brian until he loved her again, but still, she likes for him to be her friend, but he detests her as much as her brothers do… Thanks to her stupidity and her mother’s involvement.

Lost in her admiration for the guy who was wearing a white shirt over black trousers, accompanied by a black tie, loosely knotted around his neck, she couldn’t help but swallow. His short hair was dyed black with lots of red stripes, forming a beautiful contrast on his head, making him look like a delinquent student.

“It was you, wasn’t it?” Brian asked as he towered over her.

“What are you talking about?” She asked but didn’t dare to meet his eyes.

Piper might be a wicked person but Brian was soulless. He is known for not caring about what people or the media would say.

Even though he’s like that, there’s hardly any negative news about him, but ever since Piper joined this crew, the reporters and paparazzi have been harassing and hunting him because of the fake news and pictures that were being circulated from Piper’s end.

“If you know what’s good for you, tell your company to stop creating hype for you with my name. I won’t warn you twice, Piper.” He squatted in front of her and stared at her pretty face, then said slowly: “I will never be interested in yo-” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“What are you doing?!” Oliver strode over and snatched Piper away from Brian. “Are you ok?” He asked her before he glared at Brian.

“Only a scum like him suits you,” Brian eyed them both before walking away languidly.
