Chapter Twenty-Six: Visiting the filming set

Saturday, March 14, 20XX

Luke and Clair along with Yaci arrived at the set where 'The gap between us' was being filmed. They came inside and met with Jennifer Denis the female lead of the film.

As soon as Yaci saw Jennefir she paused and let the siblings greet her first. She greeted her politly like always but she wasn't overly friendly like Clair and Luke were.

The reason she was very reluctant to come was because of this woman. She and Lukas previously had misunderstanding and this woman was too playful to take anything seriously.

Although Yaci didn't mind much it still made her umcomfortable. Anyway that's a story for another time.

Clair took a look at the beautiful blonde woman with brown eyes. She then glanced at Yaci and Lukes she heaved a long sigh and walked past them.

"Yo, I don't have all day let's go!" She ordered them and headed inside the room where the cast,director and crew were waiting for them.

Jennifer grinned." Let's go Clair I'm sure you will love how everything turned out!" Jennefir told her confidentadly.

They went past a few halls and groups of people taking out props. When they arrived at their destination everyone was already whispering and lined up to greet their CEO.

The whispers disappeared and the room turned quiet. After scanning the small crowd Clair glanced at the set and was satusfied by what she saw.

They had set up everything excetly how she described it in her book and they were able to capture the imgage she had imagine while she wrote the scene.

The director came foward and gave Clair a bow. "Miss Yves it's an honor to have you here." He told her and extended his hand to shake hers. Clair gave him a nod and politly refused his hand.

From the corner of her eyes she was looking at Emma. She almost laughed at the pale face she had on. The director was confused and he broke into a cold sweat.

He misunderstood Clair and was already imagining his funeral. Noticing the director's reaction everyone else froze.

Clair lifted her hand and waved towards Emma's direction. "Hello!" She said and the room fell quiet. They all looked at Emma in shock.

What? First the female lead knows their CEO but now the second lead too? How?

"Excuseme me for asking but does our CEO know our second lead?" The director asked Clair.

Emma only stood there akwardly and she was reluctant when the director called her foward. He asked her come and greet their CEO.

All the arrogance she had before disappeared into thin air and all she had towards Clair was fear.

She stood stiffly under Clair's stare and she could feel that her legs would give up soon.

"Ahem, I'll lead you guys to your seats." Jennifer interupted the seilenece.

Phew!

Emma felt relieved.

"You can continue working as if I'm not even here." Clair told the director and walked away with Jennifer.

Yaci folled after Clair and Luke sighed.

They all sat down together in the high hairs that had their names on it. Jennifer made her self comfortable next to Clair and whispered in her ear, "Are you bullying Emma?"

"I'm not."

Jennifer chuckled. "I'm your best friend Clair. If you want to bully someone I will gladly help. Don't be shy to tell me."

*😌= this is basically the expression Jennifer has lol

At the moment she said that the director started the dilming once again and Clair ignored Jennifer completly. She wanted to concentrate on the film for now.

Jennifer is someone she doesn't have the energy to entertain at the moment.

"Sigh, nightmare again?" Jennifer asked while her eyes were on the other actors and actresses filming.

"Mmm." Clair comfirmed her guess and Jennifer sighed. "Me too. The filming started so it's normal that our memories will be triggered." She whispered and Clair pursed her lips.

"Please I beg you let me go!" The young woman cried but she was tossed on the ground forcefully. "Tch, this b*tch is still fighting." The young actor chuckled.

"What do we do with her boss." He asked and turned to the other man. "En. Dump her with the rest." The man answered.

"No! Please I b-beg you!" The young actress cried and shouted. The scene was truly realistic and Clair was satisfied.

"Her acting is really good. Is she the one you took under your wing?" Clair asked and Jennifer nodded.

"Yup!" She smiled. "I have been wanting to ask you this for a while but you keep refusing to asnwer me." Jennifer sighed.

"Is the book based on our experiences? Although we didn't go through the same things, I can tell there is a part in this film that's real." Jennifer continued and Clair didn't asnwer.

"Take me out one of these days I'm bored." Clair changed the topic and Jennefir didn't pry any more. "How lucky! I'm planning on going to the club. I have a day off after this last scene is filmed. The rest is the male leads so we can have a girls night out!" Jennifer cheered.

Clair smiled happily and agreed. A few minutes later Jennifer was called to touch up her makeup and enter the scene.

She finsihed it off it one take and her work for the next two days was done. She sighed in relief and leaned her shoulder against Clair's. "Finally!" She said in exhastion. Clair smiled and patted her head.

"Clair I will get us some drinks." Yaci offered and Clair nodded. "Thank you Yaci!" Jennifer called out and closed her eyes like a sleepy baby on Clair's shoulder.

"Cut!" Clair called out and Jennifer opened her eyes in surprise. "What's wrong?" She asked.

Clair stepped foward and had a small discussion with the actor. When she was done she sat back down and watched the scene unfold.

"But what can I do? Amara is dead! They are all dead. I seatched day a night only to end up with nothing!"

"Cut!" Clair interrupted once again and she groaned. The perfectionist in her refused to let this important scene slip by with this small mistake.

"I want to edit this scene a bit." She told the director and he agreed without any questioning. He is well aware of who created the book so he knows Clair can do as she wants since it's for the better.

"What do you say?" Clair asked and the director voiced out his opinion. "Yes, as long as we try this out the scene will unfold perfectly."

Clair smiled. "Okay give them a few minutes to practice and we will start shooting again." She told hom and the director nodded his head.

"Who gave you the right to adjust the scrip of such an important movie?" Someone interrupted.
