Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 33

The crowd was stunned.

Everleigh froze when she heard his voice. Following the crowd's line of sight, she spotted a familiar figure.

He was tall and eye- catching, and he was dressed in a formal black suit. His facial features were clear- cut and calm. His eyes hinted at coldness as the stare locked on hers.

"Mr. Godfrey..." Selena's face turned slightly pale.

She still remembered that at the Trevino family's birthday party, Theodore defended Everleigh in front of everyone. It couldn't be a coincidence that he was here again that day, and it made her uneasy.

"It seems like this actress speaks for all the crew members." Theodore's expression was cold, and his voice icy. "Is she allowed to detain a crew member?"

The expression on the director's face changed, and he said, "Of course not, this is a miscommunication."

As he said that, he quickly winked at Selena. "Right, Selena?"

Selena cared about her reputation, especially among the crew members. Apart from the director, she didn't care what anyone else had to say. The credibility and prestige she had built up with great difficulty just vanished before her eyes, causing her to turn red with embarrassment.

"I was just discussing the script with our medical expert. Things got a little heated, I'm sorry."

The director let out a sigh of relief and said, "Look, Mr. Godfrey, I told you, it was just a misunderstanding. They were just talking about the script."

Theodore asked, "Really? What were you talking about? Tell me about it."

No one expected Theodore to pursue the matter further. After all, it was already odd enough that he, an investor, took time off to visit the set. His time was precious, after all.

Everyone was stunned. Those around Everleigh started to look at her with suspicion.

Selena panicked, not knowing what to say. The chilly atmosphere around them intensified.

The air seemed to be stagnant, and no one dared even to breathe.

Everleigh frowned. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she just waved the script in her hand. She explained immediately, "We were talking about the scene in the operating room. I said that no doctor wears heels, but Selena seemed to think that dramas and reality are separate and cannot be truly combined. Thus, we had some disagreements over that."

Selena didn't think that Everleigh was going to help her case. She was stunned for a moment. After seeing the director's frantic signaling, she quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Godfrey, that was all. Now that I think about it, I wasn't open-minded enough. I'll listen to Dr. Trevino in the future. After all, she's the professional."

Although she said that, she definitely disagreed.

If it weren't for Theodore, she would never concede to Everleigh. It was a humiliation.

She thought that that would be the end of the matter, but Theodore suddenly asked, "Isn't a medical expert's opinion only regarding medicine? Why is she giving her opinion on the actress's outfit?"

The entire argument switched to a completely different direction.

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Theodore in shock.

Just a second ago, she thought Theodore was here to help her out, but the aggressive words were still ringing in her ears. It was clear that the situation wasn't playing out the way she expected.

Selena was also shocked, not understanding what was going on.

Theodore looked at Everleigh coldly. "Shouldn't everyone just be responsible for their own part?"

Everleigh didn't see the point in arguing with him. She just frowned and didn't say a word.

The director next to him stepped out to ease things over and said, "Yes, Mr. Godfrey is right. Everyone should do their part right. Then everything can be done efficiently. Come, come, let's get some rest. Mr. Godfrey has brought snacks for everyone. Pass them around."
