Chapter 258

Paisley’s current project required the screenwriter to be on set during filming to explain the storyline to the actors and make script adjustments as needed. After several setbacks, the production had finally resumed.
Technically, as the head screenwriter, Paisley should have been on set constantly during the early stages. However, due to Serena’s hospitalization, she had arranged with Gary to film less critical scenes first and to step in only for major ones.
Today’s schedule included one of those important scenes, so Paisley headed to the indoor studio, where the crew was still preparing the set.
Gary was busy directing the team to finalize the scene layout. Upon seeing Paisley, he quickly gave the staff a few instructions before walking over with a smile. “Nion, you’re here.”
Yes. Paisley replied, noticing the white strands in Gary’s hair. He had been tirelessly working on the production.
“How’s your daughter? Is she okay?” Gary asked. After all, as long as Serena was in the hospital, Paisley couldn’t fully commit to the project.
“She’s fine now. Just a few more days of observation, and she can be discharged.” Paisley felt relieved and grateful that Serena had been treated in time, avoiding any irreversible consequences.
“Glad to hear that,” Gary said with visible relief. As a father himself, he could somewhat understand Paisley’s feelings.
After a brief chat, they discussed the upcoming scene and rehearsed it with the actors. Once the discussion was over, Paisley sat in her designated chair, reviewing the rest of the script.
“Ms. Vaire, hello.” A soft, sweet, and slightly shy voice suddenly sounded above her. Looking up, Paisley saw a stunning beauty with striking features and fair skin. It was Sheela, the female lead of this project.
Sheela was one of the top beauties in the entertainment industry, often hailed as the epitome of elegance. She was the favorite of luxury brands and a regular showstopper on red carpets.
She was once mocked by the media as a “candy star,” and because of her stunning looks and immense popularity, she faced a lot of criticism from various sectors.
But she remained calm and focused, steadily improving herself and proving herself. In the past two years, thanks to a few well–received TV dramas, she quietly shed the “candy star” label.
Gary chose her this time because of her improved acting skills and the huge boost her popularity brings. So when the official Twitter announced that the lead role of the show was switched to Sheela, it caused quite a stir. The once one–sided mockery quickly turned into widespread anticipation.
Although there were still some who criticized the show, it wasn’t enough to shake things up.
There was a top–tier superstar, yet in front of Paisley, she was as shy as a newcomer to the industry. Holding the script, she blinked her beautiful starry eyes and stared at Paisley, not even blinking.
Paisley had met some big stars before. While some were approachable, she had never encountered someone like Sheela
before.
“Is there something you need?” Seeing Sheela being so cautious, Paisley softened her voice.
After all, everyone loved a beautiful person. Admiring beauty truly was a pleasant experience.
“Well, there’s a scene where I can’t quite grasp the heroine’s emotional shift, so I thought I’d ask you,” Sheela said, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Paisley.
Paisley couldn’t resist such a gaze. She leaned forward. “Which scene? Let me take a look.”

This one!” Sheela smiled sweetly, then sat beside Paisley.

And so, on set, a stunningly beautiful moment unfolded. Two breathtakingly beautiful women, side by side, heads leaning together, both reading the same script. They whispered softly, occasionally exchanging smiles, sometimes frowning in discussion.
The behind–the–scenes director certainly didn’t miss this moment, and by the time Paisley and Sheela realized it, the camera and photographer were almost right in their faces.
“What’s going on? Paisley felt a bit uncomfortable.
