chapter 8

Lily goes to the washroom, takes out her phone and calls Stella.

Stella picked up the call and said, "Hello! Did you work?"

Lily said, "It didn't happen. That Amelia refused to use that kit."

Stella asked in surprise, "What? He refused. But why? You didn't tell that the kit was specially ordered from Paris for him."

Lily said angrily, "Told but Maharani is saying that there is no extra time for patch test on her and also said that the kit provided to her from here suits her a lot."

Stella stopped for a while and said, "So, don't make it similar to the kit here and damage it by seeing the time. Okay!"

Lily said fearfully, "But what if someone catches me doing this?"

Stella said, "You will have to take care of her yourself and if you cannot do that, then return the money I gave you... to me."

Lily listened to him and said quickly, "No! No! I will! I will not! When did I refuse to do it?"

Stella said with a devilish smile, "Good! All the best!" Saying this she disconnected the call.

Lily muttered to herself, “All the best, she is saying as if I am going to give UPSC exam. If I had not bought designer clothes for that money, then she would have hit him by throwing money on his face. Where is *****?"

When Amelia came on the set after getting her make-up done, she caught sight of the director in front of her. Along with the director, the assistant director, script writer, Henry Miller and Jack were standing.

Henry Miller was very handsome and talented actor. India's best male actor. Don't know how many times he had got Best Male Actor. He always used to do high budget and top level pictures but he was doing this movie only and only because he said that he liked the script very much which was a blatant lie.

All the films he had worked in till date, all his scripts were the best. The script of that film was many times better than the script of this film.

It was a romantic film whereas he used to work in films based on real life issues. His story was heart touching.

People did not know the real reason for his acting in the film, but they definitely knew that it was not at all due to the script of the film. But still what could anyone say or ask him?

Little did people know that the real reason for his acting in this film is Amelia. Not because he liked Amelia but because he was Liam's friend and he knew something about Liam and Amelia's story. When he came to know that they were casting Jack opposite Amelia, he decided to play the lead actor himself. Because of which Jack had to play the role of a villain. Because he did not want to miss the chance to work with Henry in the film under any circumstances.

And the second reason was his misunderstanding. In fact, he had also put a condition to the producer to work in the film and that was to cast Stella for an item song in the film. But the poor fellow knew that Stella had already convinced the producer to give him the role. After all, it was just a few hours' work for him.

Amelia went to everyone and wished everyone good morning together. Although he ignored Jack. Everyone also wished him back with love. But Jack found his words somewhat strange. Since last night itself, Amelia's behavior seemed a bit different to him. But what could he say now?

Amelia asks the director about today's scene. The director said that today all three of them have to shoot a scene together.

The story of the movie was that one day in the life of a happily married couple, the wife's psycho ex boyfriend. A harasses her a lot by threatening to take away her husband's job. But one day when her husband saw them together, he felt that his wife was cheating on him, so he left her. After he leaves, the girl fights with her ex and is about to go after her husband when her ex kidnaps her and takes her with him.

He keeps her tied up at one of his farm houses, and on the other hand, her parents tell her husband that the boss was his ex and he was a criminal, so he was jailed. And now he has been released from jail and is after that girl. Then her husband goes back to his wife and there he comes to know about her kidnapping. Then he went to save his wife and finally he killed the villain.

So today's scene was that Henry seeing both of them together will go away misunderstanding and then Jack and Amelia will have an argument and he will kidnap her.

He had understood all the three scenes and he already remembered the script and dialogues. Amelia had also read the script and dialogues while getting her make-up done as she had returned after many years.

All three reached their respective places for the shooting of the scene.

When the director called for action, Jack suddenly came and hugged Amelia, who was working in the kitchen, from behind. Suddenly, Amelia felt very disgusted by this hug and she jerked her hands away from him and turned back and gave him a very strong push due to which he staggered and went a little far.

Then Amelia angrily said, "How dare you touch me?" Amelia's eyes were red with anger when she said this.

Everyone felt that she was acting and they found the acting very realistic.

But Jack was shocked. He could clearly feel the hatred for himself in Amelia's eyes. Jack got nervous and forgot that he was acting.

He went to Amelia and said, "What happened Amelia? Why are you staring at me with such hatred?"

Amelia had also forgotten in anger that those people were shooting and was about to tell the truth that suddenly

"Cut!!!" said the director.

His shout reminded Amelia and Jack that both of them were shooting at the moment.

Sitting there, the director said to Jack in the mike, "What are you doing Jack? Which lines are you saying forgetting your lines?"

Jack said hurriedly, "D-Director Sir Woh-Woh Mein to A-Amelia..."

The director said in a stern voice, "Amelia what? She was acting. What a good acting she did... very real but you messed everything up... Now Be professional and Do it again!"

Jack's face turned red with shame. He swallowed his spit and said, "Okay!"

Amelia was enjoying seeing him in such condition. She will slowly take revenge on him like this.

The director called for action again and this time Amelia kept her emotions under control and acted properly, even Jack felt that she must have been confused.

But there was such a person sitting there who liked Amelia's acting... acting was less and truth was more. This person was none other than Henry. Liam had told him this morning itself that Amelia had changed since last night. At first Henry thought that she must be doing drama but now he felt that maybe there was some problem between Amelia and Jack and that is why she was behaving so well with Liam and Lucas . And maybe when everything will be fine between these two, then Amelia will be back as before.
