Chapter 72
Is he a model? "Have you attempted to contact her?" Liam questioned as he sat next to Jeff.
"She's ignoring my calls. It's okay, she would call back" Jeff answered, his eyes on Jamie's name. ""How about you try giving her a call?" ""She probably will not pick up my call, too." Liam reached into his pocket and took out his phone. His lips formed a mute "o" while he continued to look at the phone. "I think she's going for a shoot." "For a shoot?" Jeff arched a brow.
"Oh! You are not aware that Jamie was an actress before, are you? Liam informed Jeff. "She had a few child
roles, but it seems like she is trying to make a comeback in the entertainment business." "Are you serious? Isn't that going to be easy? She's a member of the Scavo family" Jeff uttered.
"That kind of statement does not really sit well with Jamie," Liam remarked.
""She stopped filming when she was younger for that reason. She was a Scavo member, so she did not like that everyone was friendly to her." Jeff looked surprised for a moment. It turned out that he did not know everything about Jamie, even though he thought he did. Jamie kissed him in front of so many people? Was there a rationale behind it? Was her intention to dismiss Tonia? Or does she like him?
Jeff is not a moron. He was not sure about his feelings, but it was simple to determine which was true.
Jeff decided he would pay Jamie a visit.
Thus, he got Liam to give him the shooting location's address.
It was located slightly away from Rivers's apartment in the quiet area of Starry City.
Upon arriving in the taxi, Jeff observed a busy scene where individuals were getting ready for the shoot. Crew members were scurrying around, setting up props and carrying equipment.
Jeff approached the bustling set.
I Finding Jamie Scavo and striking up a conversation with her was his only objective.
He didn't know it but their friendship meant the world to him. She is one of the best things that happened to her since the problem with the Hemsworth family.
But as he approached the crew members, he was abruptly halted by a woman with disdain in her eyes.
"What do you want?" she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.
She was so hostile that Jeff was surprised and said, "I am looking for Jamie Scavo." "Do you think she's just someone you can see? Before I take action, please depart now." The woman scoffed, assuming Jeff was just another food-deprived fan, desperate for a glimpse of a celebrity.
She unleashed a barrage of insults, belittling him and ordering someone to remove him from the set.
But just as he was about to retreat, a commanding voice cut through the air.
"Sharon, what are you doing?" It was the shoot's director, looking serious and commanding. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman, Sharon, froze in her tracks.
The director turned his attention to Jeff, his expression apologetic. "I'm so sorry about that. Please come with me," he said, gesturing towards a nearby big tent.
Jeff, still reeling from the encounter, followed the director, unsure of what to expect.
Meanwhile, Sharon's face burned with
embarrassment and contempt. Her own presumptions had embarrassed her just now.
The director, Mr. Anderson, looked so happy to see Jeff. His face lit up with excitement and he quickly walked him to a seat. "It's so good to see you here! I've heard so much about you." Jeff, still taken aback by the warm reception, mustered a faint smile. "Oh.
I don't think I know you or did we perhaps meet but I forgot you." "No" The director smiled. "I've heard so much about you from Fred Swinton.
He was my boss." "Oh, really? Nice to meet you too. I actually came here to see my friend, Jamie Scavo." Mr. Anderson's eyes widened in
realization, and he formed a sly grin on I his face. "Ah, I see now. That explains it. Actually, Jeff, Jamie is in the middle of a shoot right now. I will take you to him afterwards, though. In the meantime, let me..." I I Just as Mr. Anderson finished speaking, a man barged into the room, full of frustration and agitation.
"Director! We have a problem! The male idol who was supposed to shoot with Jamie today is not picking up his calls, and he's already an hour late! We can't afford any delays!" Mr. Anderson sighed in exasperation, clearly annoyed by the situation. "Well, that's just typical of him. He's always so rude and late. I don't even like filming with him, but he's popular, and the audience loves him. I don't want to offend his family either."
The man, who had been complaining fervently, suddenly gaped at Jeff as if struck by a brilliant idea. He quickly turned to Mr. Anderson, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Director! Is this person a model? We can use him instead of waiting! He looks perfect for the role!" Jeff, caught off guard by the sudden attention, looked at the man, and then glanced at Mr. Anderson. "Uh, me? A model? Well, I've never done modeling before. I'm not sure if I'm suitable for this." Intrigued by the prospect, Mr.
Anderson examined Jeff from head to toe, assessing his appearance. "Hmm, you do have the right look, Jeff. And I remember Fred mentioning you.
Maybe you could step in as a temporary replacement. It's a small role, but it 1
might just save us from further delays." Jeff scratched his head, willing to give it a try even though he was still not sure about the whole thing. "Well, if it helps, I guess I can try. But what do I need to do?" Mr. Anderson grinned slyly, energized by the unexpected development.
"Great! Let's get you ready." Meanwhile.
"Just please, Elias. We've done this a few times to Mr. Anderson" With a distressed and angry expression, a man spoke. "If we carry on in this manner, it is really not good. Since your group is taking a break, now is the ideal time for you to excel in your modeling career!"
"Oh God! You are so annoying. Who is the female model? I don't want to shoot with a nobody" Elias uttered, clearly irritated.
That post on the school forum had taken him out of his normal self.
{What's going on between the hubristic Genius and admirable Jamie Scavo? They shared a kiss in the school cafeteria.} He had a really bad day because of the post.
"Jamie Scavo" The man replied. "I think she's making a comeback with this. She went on a break for 10 years." Elias, hearing Jamie Scavo, leaped to his feet. "Why did not you inform me earlier? Let's go to the site. At this moment!"
The abrupt shift in his mood caught his manager off guard. He grabs the car keys quickly.
