Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 543

Chapter 543

Having worked in the entertainment industry for a few years, Nina had dealt with all sorts of people.Since she was a child, she had learned to use her appearance to her advantage. Her big, round eyesgave her an innocent and pitiful look when staring at people. It helped her get her way every singletime, but it failed when she tried it on Alexander.

I don't understand! Why did that guy refuse to look at me? I will admit that the woman next to him isvery beautiful, and my appearance pales by comparison, but they should at least take pity on me! Noone could resist me when I look at them like that!

The rain was not really heavy, but the mansion was surrounded by mountains, so the wind felt reallycold even though it was already September.

Nina wasn't dressed warmly when she left the house. To make matters worse, she fell and broke herumbrella. Having been drenched by the rain, Nina felt so cold that she shivered uncontrollably whilestanding at the door.

Fortunately for her, it didn't take long for the staff to arrive. The group then headed back to their tourbus with the windows down to let the cool breeze in. Nina was as white as a sheet by the time shereturned to the lodging.

“What happened to you? I told you not to go wandering around, didn't I?” Wendy asked with a painedlook on her face.

“I just felt like going for a walk, okay? Ugh, I ran into a strange couple today!” Nina lashed out angrilywhen she saw Wendy.

“What do you mean? The mansion is closed off, isn't it? The only people here are our film crew, somestaff, and some of Mr. Schild's friends. You didn't run into his friends, did you?”

Nina tensed up slightly when she heard that. “I don't think so.”

Even if I did, I didn't do anything wrong!

Wendy felt a little uneasy when she saw the hesitant look in Nina's eyes. “Did you go to the easternside of the mansion?”

Little did she know, Nina couldn't tell the four cardinal directions apart. “No, I didn't. Why would I gothere?”

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She had heard that it was Samuel's friends whorequested to have the mansion closed off, and it wasn't easy getting Samuel to let them shoot somescenes here.

They had been reminded upon entering the mansion that they were to only operate on the southernside. Anyone who disobeyed those instructions and wandered off during the shoot could be fired.

Nina was the third actress Wendy had taken under her wing, and she was also the most popular one atthe moment. Midway Media granted Nina the role of a second female lead because she wasrecommended by their sponsor.

As such, Wendy was hoping that this drama series would make her famous. Although Nina wasn'texactly the best-looking actress in the entertainment industry, it wouldn't be difficult for her to come out

on top with her innocent-looking face.

As Nina's character in the drama series was a very likable one, her popularity would most likelyskyrocket as a result. Even if that were not the case, she would at least become a D-list or C-listcelebrity.

Realizing that Nina was in a bad mood, Wendy urged her to go get changed before she said somethinginappropriate in front of others.

Nina rolled her eyes at Wendy. “Got it.”

Having shivered from the cold for so long, Nina would have done so even if Wendy didn't tell her to.

With that, Nina returned to her room on the fourth floor.

The film crew had arranged for the actors and actresses to stay in a mansion. The second and thirdfloors were the best ones, so they were assigned to the lead actor and lead actress. As for Nina andthe rest of the staff, they were assigned to the fourth floor instead.

Someone came running toward Wendy shortly after Nina left. “Hey, Wendy! Is Nina in?”

Judging by the anxious frown on the person's face, Wendy assumed the director simply wanted to seeNina. Not wanting to keep the director waiting, she quickly explained, “Yes, she is. Are they going tostart shooting soon? I'll have Nina come downstairs right away!”

The man shook his head. “Did she go out just now?”

Wendy realized that something was amiss when she heard that, but there was no way to cover up forNina as she had just returned. “Yeah, she felt bored and went out for a walk when the rain wasn't tooheavy. She didn't go far, though. Is something the matter?”

Their conversation was interrupted when the director, Ross Looney, came over and asked, “So, Ninadid go out, then?”

Wendy went pale when she saw Ross' stern look, but she was quick to regain her composure. “Hi, Mr.Looney! Yes, Nina did go out for a walk. Did something happen?”

Ross let out a disdainful snort. “Mr. Schild gave me a call just now. He said someone from our film crewhas disturbed his guests.”

Those words had barely left Ross' mouth when Nina, who was done changing, came out of her room.The look on her face tensed up for a few seconds before she started acting all pitiful again. “I'm sorry,Mr. Looney... I-I didn't mean to disturb anyone. I just got carried away while walking and ended upwandering too far away! I fell down on the slippery road, and my phone was dead. As the rain wasgetting heavier, I tried to ask someone if I could borrow his phone to call Wendy! I really didn't mean todisturb anyone!”

Nina even turned on the waterworks after saying that.

Ross found it hard to scold Nina when he saw her apologize profusely while crying.

“Well, you didn't mean for it to happen, so let's go apologize to the guests. I'm sure they'll understandand forgive you,” he said while scratching his head.

Ross actually wasn't sure if apologizing would do the trick. After all, Samuel's secretary did not soundvery friendly over the phone earlier.

Nina nodded profusely. “Of course! It was never my intention to disturb the guests!”

Since Nina had agreed to apologize, Ross had nothing further to say about it. He then brought Ninaover to where Samuel's guests were staying.

Meanwhile, Alexander and Sophia decided to have a barbecue that night.

After setting up a grill in the pavilion, they had the mansion staff prepare the ingredients and start thefire.

It is so cool to have barbecue on a rainy day.

Sophia didn't know how to work the grill, but Alexander was an expert at it.

Just like that, the two of them had a great time enjoying the barbecue. As Sophia was in a great mood,she told Alexander lots of stories about how she used to have barbecues with her parents when shewas little.

She was munching on a grilled chicken wing when the screen of her phone lit up all of a sudden. It wasa text from Katherine that read: Hey, Soph! I heard the film crew of Petite Youth is shooting somescenes at that same mansion you're using! Have you seen the second lead actress? She's superpretentious and really knows how to act pitiful! I came across her once when I was working on a realityshow last year. She even tried to flirt with Joshua behind my back when he visited me at work! She

even told me how much she envied me! Can you believe that? I was so mad at her! I wish I could teachher a lesson!

Although Katherine was good at arguing with people online, she had no idea how to deal with apretentious woman like Nina.

Although Joshua never even looked at Nina, the mere thought of what Nina did still got Katherineburning with rage.

As such, it came as a pleasant surprise that Nina was staying at the same mansion as Sophia.

Knowing Nina, she would definitely try to flirt with Alexander if she saw him!

Sophia arched an eyebrow in amusement as she texted: What did she do?

Nina must have done something really bad if a carefree person like Katherine would remember her tothis day!

She had just sent that text when the doorbell rang again.
