Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 235

On the second day, Elspeth joined the crew.

Her visit surprised Aiden. “Miss Lynwood, are you here for the shooting?”

He had watched the video of Elspeth outperforming Emma last time. Based on his professional opinion,

Elspeth did an excellent job and indeed lived up to the title of Payton Schwartz’s student. Her

appearance and acting skills would make her a top celebrity within three years if she tried.

To his surprise, such a talented woman offered to play a supporting role.

“That’s right. There’s a shortage of actresses, isn’t it? For the sake of fairness, I’ll demonstrate my

acting skills first. You can decide whether I pass or fail.”

“Of course. I’d be honored.”

Aiden was sweating profusely at this point.

He heard that Elspeth rejected the female lead role when another crew offered it to her. As such, Aiden

wondered if he had done anything special to have her volunteer to play a supporting role in his film.

The scene Elspeth auditioned for was when her character found that the female lead was unconscious,

so she carried the other woman on her back and sent the female lead to the hospital.

Sizing the skinny Elspeth up and down, Aiden hesitated and suggested, “If you have trouble carrying

her, we can modify the scene to which you carry her by putting her arm around your shoulder.”

She glanced at Yelena, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious.

“What’s so hard about carrying a woman as slim as her?”

Aiden swallowed nervously. “Recently, Yelena has gained 22 pounds to prepare for her role. Now, she

weighs around 115 pounds. The other actors gave it a try, but only Blake managed to carry her. The

rest failed.”

“That’s lame. Can the rest even count as men?”

Callum smiled, agreeing with her, “You’re right.”

One of the actors stepped out to confront Elspeth when he heard such comments. “How dare you say

that? Yelena is the one to blame for gaining weight, which was why we couldn’t carry her. It’s

impossible to carry a girl as heavy as her!”

Something flashed through Yelena’s eyes when she heard that. Even though she was hurt, she forced

a smile.

After all, she could still lose weight if she wanted. For now, she only gained weight to meet the

character’s profile. She kept telling herself that the harsh comments weren’t bothering her.

Elspeth scoffed at that. “Loser.”

“What did you just say?” The young man’s eyes widened at the insult.

She only rolled her eyes, not bothering to answer him.

“Mr. Aiden, shall we begin?”

“Uh…” With a slightly embarrassed smile, the director answered, “Let’s begin.”

Elspeth took a deep breath as she prepared to start.

The next second, she rushed over to Yelena’s side. Her usual nonchalant expression was replaced by

anxiety as she looked at the unconscious woman.

“Tess, are you all right?”

However, the woman had her eyes shut tightly and her forehead was bleeding the entire time. Thus,

Elspeth stretched out her arms and carried the woman without hesitation.

She bent down and lifted the woman with a clean and quick move, making it look effortless.

She carried Yelena in her arms, which was a lot harder than carrying the woman on her back.

The onlookers widened their eyes in surprise. The young man who clashed with Elspeth a while ago

was now flushing red, desperate to flee the scene.

Both Elspeth’s emotions and lines met Aiden’s standard. Furthermore, she finished the scene in one

take, so he yelled ‘cut’ in satisfaction.

After that, Elspeth walked over to the young actor. Fixing her gaze on his face, she raised her brows.

“I’ll have you know that I already got my first gold medal in kickboxing when you were still learning the

alphabet in kindergarten. You should work out more often during your free time. Your abilities are really

embarrassing.”

The younger man flushed redder when he heard that. Indeed, he had no idea about what happened in

the world of kickboxing. However, he was surprised nonetheless to learn the petite woman in front of Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

him was a champion in the sport.

Even a woman like her could carry Yelena with ease, but he couldn’t do it.

The fact that she was stronger was a blow to his ego.

Noticing the surprised looks on the crowd’s faces, Elspeth tilted her head in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

Yelena put her hands under her chin with an amazed expression while her eyes were sparkling with

excitement. “Elspeth, you’re so cool! A kickboxing champion? It’s my first time meeting someone as

cool as you!”

“Silly girl, you’re flattering me.”

“I’m merely speaking the truth. You make carrying me look like an easy job. You’re doing way much

better than those actors.” Making sure there was nobody around, Yelena began in a low voice, “Truth

be told, the guy just now had a crush on me, but he was enraged to learn I’m dating Max, so he kept

saying those harsh words to me.”

Elspeth dismissed the other woman’s compliment with a casual tone. “As I said before, they’re lame.”

Then, she turned to Callum. The man couldn’t keep his emotions from showing on his face.

“What do you think, Callum?”

His nod meant he agreed, but his voice betrayed a hint of hesitation. “I think so?”

He didn’t know what to make of his woman. In short, she had quite an attitude.

Once again, he was impressed. She was indeed his ideal woman.

“Don’t worry. I won’t use kickboxing on you.” Elspeth walked over with a smile and held his hand.

He whispered to her, “That’s because you can’t beat me.”

In return, she shot daggers at him. “Are you challenging me? Wanna see who’s better? Let’s give it a

go right here, right now.”

Her boldness left him speechless.

Elspeth was now an official member of the crew after passing the director’s test.

Callum naturally wasn’t going to leave her in the crew all by herself, not even when everyone knew

better than pulling something on her as they knew he was dating her. He would stay by her side

regardless of whether the others were aware of it.

“Callum, don’t you feel hot standing under the sun?”

Today, Elspeth was shooting a scene at an artificial beach, where the outdoor temperature was high.

The lean Callum stood right under the sun, looking both handsome and miserable.

After all, a hot day around 104 degrees Fahrenheit was meant to be taken seriously.

However, he dismissed her concern. “I’m fine. I want to watch you shoot.”

Callum’s concern was understandable. Soon, Elspeth was going to shoot a somewhat awkward scene

in which an admirer of her role, who had been crushing on her for a long time, would kiss her on the

beach when she was caught off guard. That was how the character lost her first kiss.

Callum’s expression turned thunderous as he perused the script.

The crowd around him suddenly felt a chill as they shivered uncontrollably, wondering what was wrong

with the weather as they just felt the temperature drop.

Just when the pair was about to kiss, Callum stepped in and called off the shooting.

“What is it, Callum?”

He remained expressionless. “You are not to shoot any kissing scenes.”

Elspeth sighed. “It’s just acting. You know I don’t have feelings for him, don’t you?”

“Nope.”

The other actor looked like he was up to something. Callum could tell the man was interested in

Elspeth judging from the man’s flushed face, which was quite eye-catching.

“What if I do a cheat shot?”

Iciness dripped off Callum’s voice. “Don’t even think about it.”

“Then what am I supposed to do? There are twenty-three kiss scenes from here on, including this one.

Don’t tell me that you want me to avoid all of them!”

Elspeth didn’t have a choice either. Callum’s carelessness was to blame as he signed her up for

shooting this film without perusing the script. It was fair to say he had it coming.

There was a conflicted look on Callum’s face.

“Delete all of them.”

“Mr. Winthrop, this is a romance film that is set on campus. Nobody will watch it if there are zero

intimate scenes to attract the audience!” Aiden chimed in, his expression mirroring Callum’s.

He was against the idea to delete all the scenes and he would very well cry on the spot if Callum

insisted.

Callum suddenly hung his head low as a glint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

“I’ll do it.”
