CHAPTER 297: A SPECIAL VISIT 

The shoot would begin at seven o'clock.Half past six, Wendy and Jeffrey left the hotel and headed to the set.It was as they expected.

Reporters surrounded the venue.Wendy could not help but sigh.

Jeffrey was really quite popular.

"It's Jeffrey! That's his van!"

Someone pointed and immediately, the reporters rushed to the vehicle.

The door opened, revealing Jeffrey as he stepped out.

Just when the reporters were about to bombard him with questions, they noticed that Jeffrey moved to the side and seemed to be giving way for someone else to come out.

Wearing a windbreaker, Wendy then stepped out right after Jeffrey.

The reporters excitedly burst into their questions.

"Jeffrey, are you and Wendy in a relationship now?"

"You were spotted entering her room last night, and now you come to work together.Is this your way of finally making your relationship public?"

"Did the two of you fall in love on the set of the Story of Concubine Ivanka?" Reporters asked several questions left and right, causing a great commotion.

"Alright, alright!" Jeffrey casually grabbed a microphone from one of the reporters.

At the expectation that they would finally get their answer, everyone quieted down immediately.

"To set the record straight, we are just friends.We have known each other since we filmed together in the US.I went to her room last night because we hadn't seen each other in so long.I wanted to catch up with her.You're all overthinking this."

The reporters were shocked and didn't seem to believe him.

"Jeffrey, wait! So you and Wendy really aren't dating?"

"No, we aren't!"

Another reporter asked, "Then why else would you be staying in Wendy's room for a whole hour?""Huh? Do you hear yourselves?"

Jeffrey said, offended.

"Just because I stayed in her room for an hour, you think we're dating? How absurd!"

The reporter was stunned silent.

‘Shit.You stayed in Wendy's room for an hour? Isn't it obvious that you are dating?’ they thought.

"Jeffrey, we..."

"You all underestimate me." Jeffrey shook his head.

The reporters looked at each other and were uncertain of how to respond.

They didn't understand what he meant.

But then Jeffrey's expression turned proud and then he jested, "If something did happen last night, one hour wouldn't have been enough!"

The reporters were disappointed with Jeffrey's last statement and thus turned to Wendy for a chance at some useful information.

"Wendy, is it true that you and Jeffrey are really just friends?"

"Are the two of you truly not together?"

"Could you please give us an answer?"

The idea of Wendy and Jeffrey arriving at work together was Roger's idea.

Initially, Wendy wanted to come here separately to avoid suspicion.

However, Roger said that if they did that, it would only leave more room for suspicion for the media to misinterpret.

Since it made sense, Wendy listened to Roger and headed to set with Jeffrey.

It turned out to be a good move, because then they could both clear the air themselves.

With a polite smile, Wendy responded, "Thank you for your concern, but Jeffrey and I are really just friends.Back in the US, I met Jeffrey when I was still starting out.We were shooting for the same project and he was like a senior to me.I have always been grateful to him.After I came back from abroad, I was casted for the Story of Concubine Ivanka and so was he.We happened to have a lot of scenes together in the show, so we've become friends.He came to my room to talk about work and our scripts last night.Nothing else."

Meanwhile, hearing Wendy call him a senior, Jeffrey felt frustrated.However, he had to hold it back.

‘Wendy! Keep pretending! Shit!’ He might be an actor she respected in front of the reporters, but she treated him so differently off-camera. The answer was finally provided.

The reporters who were so excited earlier were now a little disappointed.

Both parties now personally denied the rumors.

Based on the interview, both of them seemed genuine about it and didn't even look like a couple.

There went the supposed headline for tomorrow.

But since they were already there, the reporters continued to ask Wendy more questions about the Story of Concubine Ivanka, and she graciously answered them all.

When she saw that Jeffrey was beginning to grow impatient, Wendy quickly said, "Thank you for your questions, but we have to get to work now.If you are interested in finding more about the show, you are welcome to visit again.We have to get to set now, thank you!"

The reporters no longer made it difficult for them and let them go.

In the set, Odette's eyes glinted at the sight of seeing Wendy and Jeffrey walk in together.

Jeffrey pursed his lips upon seeing her.

He leaned down and whispered in Wendy's ear, "That's her.She's become famous thanks to Uncle Ryan."

Wendy jerked away from Jeffrey and glared at him.

If it weren't for Jeffrey, she could have gotten more sleep last night and she wouldn't have made a fool of herself before Ryan.

Wendy took bigger strides and kept a distance from Jeffrey.

People looked at the two of them strangely.

Obviously, they had all read about the news this morning.

Wendy didn't feel like explaining to them.

The truth would come out in the news later, anyway.

Wendy and Jeffrey parted ways as soon as they entered the set.

Wendy was going to report to Carter.

Jeffrey's first task was to shoot a scene with Odette, so he approached the assistant director.

Wendy was expecting Carter to ask her something, but surprisingly, he didn't.

"Carter, I..."

"Oh, there you are."

Carter had become friendlier to her over time.

"Go and get yourself into hair and makeup.Get ready to shoot your scenes."

"Well, okay."

Scratching her head, Wendy shrugged and left.She was expecting to be the topic of today's gossip, but it didn't seem that way with Carter.

Behind her, Carter watched as Wendy walked away, smiling and thoughtfully tapping his nose.

‘Hmm.She is a blessing! Just when he was worrying that the show wasn't gaining as much popularity as he'd hoped, the rumor of Jeffrey and Wendy popped up.It couldn't have come at a more perfect time.Whether or not the relationship was true, it was good publicity for the show.Carter didn't have a

reason to complain about this.As expected, the shoot was running smoothly.Before noon time, the producer suddenly came over with a nervous look.

"Carter!"

"Shh! What are you shouting for?"

The producer was sweating out of his forehead as he grabbed Carter's wrist.

"Come, hurry! People from Glory Media are visiting today! We need to get ready!"

Carter was confused.

‘‘This is a normal thing.What is he so nervous for?"

"Why do you need to get ready?" he asked.https://novelebook.com/

The producer was growing more and more anxious.

"The visitors are different this time."

"ls it not Kane?"

"It's him.But there are other people from Oliver Group with him."

"Oh, Luke?"

The producer shook his head and pointed upwards, indicating someone higher.

Carter gasped, "Ryan?"

The producer nodded his head violently.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Carter let out an even louder gasp.

Glory Media was the biggest investor of the Story of Concubine Ivanka.

But Ryan Oliver? He was the CEO of Oliver Group! This investment meant nothing to him.

He had already come to visit once last time, but why would he come again? Why, exactly, did he seem to value this show so much? The producer couldn't wait any longer and pulled Carte

"Well, now that you know, come with me and welcome him!"

Carter let himself get dragged.He couldn't dare keep Ryan waiting.
