In the second shoot, Eileen clearly felt Egbert upping his game. His kiss was filled with tension and urgency. His tongue gently prying open her lips.
She could hear his panting. His breath was so fervent and wild.
Eileen was led by his kiss, standing on her tiptoes.
"Cut!" Galen yelled again.
The air around them was humid and hot.
Egbert took a deep breath, then slowly backed away. After he left, Eileen wiped her mouth and looked at the director.
Galen was clearly not satisfied, "Palmer called Joyce out to vent his emotions, he's under mental stress, but he doesn't love this woman. Egbert, what were you doing? Holding her face, kissing her so seriously and passionately, what was that about?"
Egbert kept his mouth shut, not answering.
Galen continued, "And you, Eileen, what are you laughing at? Your state was off too!"
Eileen was speechless seeing Egbert getting scolded.
Galen started to reprimand Eileen, "Both of you, Egbert couldn't let go, but you, Eileen, you let go too much. Your face didn’t even turn red from shyness!”
Their filming had been going smoothly these past few days, Galen hardly lost his temper. This was the first time Eileen saw Galen angry.
Galen felt a headache, "Did you guys rehearse this scene beforehand?"
Egbert answered calmly, "No."
"Why didn't you rehearse beforehand?"
Both of them couldn't answer. Finally, Galen said, "That's enough for today. You two find some time to rehearse. Just don't mess up again tomorrow."
Galen was clearly upset, because he thought this was a very simple scene.
Especially for Egbert, such mistakes shouldn't happen to him. As for Eileen, maybe it was because she was young, inexperienced in love, and unable to get into the right state for matters between men and women. She still needed Egbert to guide her on this.
After the shoot, Galen took Egbert aside to talk. Eileen, meanwhile, left to change clothes alone. When she came out after changing, she found Galen was already gone. Egbert was waiting for her outside the changing room.
Eileen was holding a tissue, pressing it against her lips. Seeing Egbert, she removed the tissue, showed him her mouth, and complained, "You bit my mouth."
Her pink lower lip had a small abrasion due to the intense friction earlier.
Egbert reached out and held her chin, lifting her face to examine the wounded area closely. His gazes suddenly darkened.
Eileen slapped his hand away. Still pressing the tissue against her lips, she asked, "What now?"
Egbert put his hand back in his pocket and said, "Let's go eat."
Eileen raised an eyebrow, "Going to a restaurant?"
Egbert nodded, "Yeah, Galen wants us to bond."
Egbert wore a mask to avoid fans when going out alone, while Eileen didn't have such a problem.
