"Director, Group A's camera is in place."
"Group B is set too."
"Okay, then let's get ready for the next take."
After the cameras were in position, the crew was ready to shoot. Everleigh walked away from the operation table.
Leaving the set, she could only walk in one direction. There was no way she could avoid running into Theodore. All she could do was brace herself.
"Come on. Every department gets ready. And, action."
The only background noise on set was the sound of the cameras moving. The sound man raised the microphones higher as Selena, dressed in her scrubs, recited her lines.
Everleigh moved sideways to make way for the cameras and soundman, but her feet got caught between some cables, and she stumbled. Thankfully someone reached out and caught her before she fell.
At first, all she saw was another hand that caught her hand. She raised her head to thank the person, but she looked up and saw Theodore's face. His dark eyes stared at her silently.
She mouthed the words 'thank you' to him, then proceeded to pull her hand out of his grasp. Before anyone else could sense that something was off, she quickly walked further away from him.
There were not many people in the operating room as silence was required on set. Any irrelevant personnel was told to leave. Apart from the sound of the actors reciting their lines and the whirring of the cameras, everyone else was dead silent.
"Cut." The director raised his hand. "Selena? What's the matter? Why did you make the same mistake again? You can't get the grip wrong. This is a medical drama, so the way you hold the instruments is important."
Selena, who felt wronged, said, "Director, I've tried my best. I've been practicing the whole morning, so my hand hurts."
"Let's have lunch now. Nobody is leaving until we get this take."
As soon as he finished his sentence, the entire crew sighed.
Selena's lips tightened into a straight line, feeling a little embarrassed. After putting down the props in her hand, she pushed the makeup artist out of the way and asked, "Where is Mr. Godfrey?"
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment. She looked around and said with some doubt, "He was here a minute ago. He might have left."
Selena looked around. She noticed that the only two people missing from the operation room were Theodore and Everleigh.
At that moment, everyone was distributing the food Theodore bought.
Everleigh was passing by when Zack handed her one, "Dr. Trevino, this is the cake and coffee that Mr. Godfrey is treating us to."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. By the way, the director told us to have our lunch. They're probably going to hand out the lunchboxes soon. Should I bring one to your room?"
"Okay, thank you."
Everleigh stood in the same place and looked down at the small cake in her hand. She had mixed feelings.
The transparent box was tied up with a beautiful blue bow with a red velvet cake inside. There was a strawberry on top, and it looked very appetizing.
She had a sweet tooth since she was a child. Obviously, Adrienne took after her.
Just as she sat down in the lounge and opened the box, she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Come in. The door isn't locked." She leaned her arm on the back of the chair and turned to see who it was. The moment the door opened, she saw Theodore and froze.
'Why is it you?' "Are you disappointed?" Theodore closed the door. "Who did you think it was?"
Everleigh was stunned for a moment and was speechless.
Theodore looked at her coldly. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"What am I supposed to say?" She did not understand.
