Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 44

Everleigh covered her cheek and stared at Selena in disbelief. She could not believe that her sister, whom she grew up with, would slap her.

"What's going on?" Mr. Blake's voice came behind the camera. "Why aren't you saying your lines?"

Selena replied, "Mr. Blake, I forgot. Let's do it again."

"Okay, everyone, get back to your positions. Props team, you should get ready. Let's take a break and do it again."

The other actors were used to it. They went back to their position blankly, but Everleigh was left sitting on the floor.

Selena's assistant helped her to her feet. Selena exercised her wrists and looked down at Everleigh. "Sorry I didn't see you. I hit the wrong person."

She did not sound apologetic.

Everleigh leaned against the wall to stand up, and her face was grim. She stared at Selena's back and regained her composure. As the rest of the crew members gossiped behind her back, she clenched her fists.

She had no idea when the conflict started with Selena. When they were on set, Selena would make things difficult for her. Selena's immature behavior did not bother Everleigh. Hence she did not take it to heart.

However, Selena just slapped her. It dawned on her that Selena was not throwing a tantrum; in fact, Selena hated her.

The props team rearranged the scene swiftly. Everyone was waiting for Selena to get ready for another take.

As they filmed another take, Selena raised her hand, but Everleigh blocked Selena's hand without hesitation.

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Mr. Blake stood up in annoyance and asked, "What's going on? Why would a temporary actor do that? Whose hand is that?"

Selena immediately pulled away from Everleigh and told Mr. Blake, "Who else could it be? It's Dr. Trevino, our beloved medical expert. She thinks she's the lead actress."

"I'm not filming anymore." Everleigh stood up and straightened her back. She was calm, and she concluded, "I'm here as a medical expert, so I'm not obligated to act in the drama, let alone be humiliated by the female lead."

She decided to participate in another take to check if Selena was slapping her intentionally. She had her answer. Thus, there was no need for her to continue.

After that, she ignored everyone who was looking at her. She strode past the 'patient' on the ground and left the set in a grim mood.

Suddenly, things were awkward on set. Selena walked to Mr. Blake and motioned towards Everleigh's back. She said, "Mr. Blake, look at her. She has a bad temper, so I told you to get a replacement. There are so many doctors, so why does it have to be her?"

Mr. Blake frowned and glanced around. "Alright, stop staring. Let's stop here for now. Everyone, get some rest, and let's have lunch."

Everyone was relieved to hear that. The personal assistants began distributing lunch boxes, and the crowd dispersed.

However, Selena was unwilling to let it slide. She tugged at Mr. Blake and urged, "Mr. Blake, let's find another doctor. I have friends who work in the hospital. I'll find another medical expert."

"Selena, you shouldn't go too far." It was rare for Mr. Blake to be solemn, and he even sounded a little unhappy. He added, "I'm warning you, but you can't afford to upset the person who's helping Dr. Trevino. If she's unhappy about it, you're the one who's going to lose your job."

Selena's face froze, and she asked hurriedly, "What do you mean? Who's helping her?"

Who was helping Everleigh? Was it Theodore?
