Chapter 559
Sunlight filtered through the half–drawn curtains, casting a warm glow on the bedroom floor
Sophie rubbed her bleary eyes and sat up in bed, her long hair slightly tousled. Her bare face still carried traces of sleepiness.
The sound of her phone ringing woke her up. She picked it up to find a message from the production team instructing her to meet James at the beach by 8 a.m.
Sophie got up and walked to her wardrobe, choosing a simple white T–shirt and jeans. Her figure was slender, making even the most ordinary clothes look uniquely charming
Downstairs, James was already neatly dressed, waiting in the living room. He wore a dark shirt, slightly unbuttoned at the top, casual yet elegant.
The moment they saw each other, both were visibly taken aback.
James had never seen Sophie dressed so casually before. Her bare face didn’t make her look worn out. Instead, it added a touch of purity, making her seem like an angel who had accidentally descended to earth, pure and serene.
“Moming
Sophie’s casual greeting was quickly followed by her noticing the camera. Upon seeing it, she smiled and said to James, “Good morning. Have you had breakfast yet?”
James pressed his lips together and replied, “Just woke up.”
“Oh…”
The atmosphere became awkward once again. Sophie knew that she and James couldn’t possibly get along when left alone. James said, “I just checked, and all the food in the fridge has been cleared out. If you’re hungry, I can ask Colt to order some takeout for
“I’m not hungry.”
No sooner had Sophie spoken than her stomach betrayed her with a growl.
James took out his phone. Sophie glanced at the clock nearby, knew they were short on time, and immediately stopped James from making the call, saying, “Let’s focus on the task from the production team, please.”
Sophie didn’t want to waste any more time, so James had no choice but to end the call he was about to make to Colt
Meanwhile-
Colt, who had already picked up the call only to be greeted by the sound of a disconnected line, was puzzled.
He looked at the caller ID. It was Mr. Burke, alright.
Why did he hang up?
Colt was at home in his pajamas. He was confused but eventually closed his phone.
Sophie and James, following the instructions from the production team, walked onto the street, accompanied only by their virtually invisible cameraman.
The island wasn’t densely populated. It only attracted tourists during the peak season, which made the streets particularly dull. Sophie and James, both attractive, turned heads as they made their way. But barely thirty seconds had passed before Sophie was already dragging James down the street, running.
“Hurry! We only have fifteen minutes! We’re going to be late!”
Sophie was anxious to catch the bus as per the production team’s instructions. They needed to find the bus that would take them to the beach and arrive there by 8 a.m. for the shoot. She didn’t know if being late would affect the shooting schedule.
Sophie ran so fast with James that the camera could only capture their fleeting figures. The cameraman when James suddenly stopped. “Sophie!”
was
struggling to keep up
“What?”
Sophie turned around to see James hailing a car. He then unceremoniously pulled her into the back seat.
