My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 291: Scene Stealing

"Wendy? Wendy?"

"What?!"

Wendy came to her senses.She quickly got ahold of herself and looked at the man who was calling her
name.

Carter waved his hand in front of her face.

"What are you thinking about? You need to practice your lines now."

"Yes, yes.I'm coming!"Wendy patted her forehead and cursed at herself.

She could not get lost in thought again, especially when she was working.

With a serious face, she followed Carter at once.

‘This is all Ryan's fault!He knew that I was going to work, so he said those words to get into my
head.It's effective, though.Now, he's all Ican think about when I'm not doing anything.Argh.Damn it."
Wendy took a deep breath and forced Ryan out of her mind.

She tried with all her might to concentrate only on practicing her lines.

When she arrived at the set earlier today, she sensed some inexplicable tension.She wondered
why.Her schedule for today was hectic and full.

So in order to catch up, the director and assistant director led two separate teams so they could shoot
two scenes at the same time, saving time.

As the heroine's scene was already shot, the reshoot was handed over to the assistant director.



Carter was the one in charge of filming the scenes with the main characters.

Wendy was busy the whole morning.

Scenes were shot one after another, so she had not had breaks since she arrived.

Fortunately, her scenes were with the hero, Mason, or the supporting heroine, Daisy.

The two were both capable actors.

They knew their roles very well, and there was not a problem with their lines and acting.

What was more, they had been working with Wendy for a while now and they had developed a tacit
understanding.

Because of this, the shooting went on smoothly.

As long as there was no problem with the extras, the scenes were only shot once.

The actors and actresses were in sync, and the outcome pleased the director.

More than half of the scenes on the schedule were finished after a whole morning's shooting.

As Carter saw this, he waved his hand at everyone happily.

"Let's have lunch together!"

"Yes!" The crew cheered.

At lunchtime, Daisy's assistant grabbed two lunch boxes.She gave them to Daisy, who then handed
one to Wendy.



The temperature was oven-like as the sun was currently at its peak, and their costumes were thick and
heavy.

Daisy and Wendy each fetched a stool and placed it under the tree.

Then, they rolled up their sleeves and began to eat.The two had gotten closer because of the filming.

They would chat with each other when they had nothing else to do.

At that moment, Daisy picked up a meatball with her chopsticks and took a bite.

After finishing it, she sighed with satisfaction.

"The food is so delicious! I've been on a strict diet, so I'd look good in front of the camera.I haven't
eaten meat since I joined the crew.I would literally cry because I wanted to eat meat so bad."

Wendy could not help but laugh upon hearing Daisy's anecdote.

Daisy turned to look at Wendy and found that her food was almost untouched.She could not help but
swallow hard as she gazed at the meatball in Wendy's box.

"The director ordered the meatballs from a famous restaurant today.They're delicious.Aren't you going
to try it?"

The greedy look on Daisy's face made Wendy suddenly remember Precious.

Without a word, she gave the meatball to Daisy with asmile.It was only then that she found out that
Daisy was a foodie.

Unfortunately for Daisy, it was easy for her to gain weight.

Because of this, she had to watch her food and be strict with herself.



"You can have mine.I'm trying to lose weight these past few days," Wendy informed her.

Daisy gritted her teeth and stared at Wendy incredulously.

"But you're already so thin.Why do you have to lose more weight? People will hate you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she munched on the meatball.

Not far away, Odette's assistants could be seen taking care of her.There were three assigned
assistants for holding the sunshade, electric fan, and bottle of water respectively.

The latter would hand Odette the water bottle from time to time to let her drink after taking a bite.

Daisy pursed her lips.

Thinking that Daisy was envious of Odette, Wendy comforted her.

"It's okay.We'll get there someday."

"I'm not envious of her.I'm angry! Why did she have to come here for a drama when she's a movie
star?" Daisy asked with a disapproving look on her face.Wendy just shook her head in response.

‘How could I know?’ Actors and actresses were divided into different levels, the highest being the
movie stars.

When the box office of the movies they had starred in reached a certain level, they would not only get
their pay but also get a dividend.

Therefore, almost all the actors in TV series dreamt of playing in movies.

However, it was unusual for a movie star like Odette, who had already won an award for the best
actress, to play in a TV series.It was odd and unexpected.Wendy understood Daisy's dissatisfaction.



In the past, Odette and the two were in different circles.

But for some reason, she decided to play in their drama.

Although they were in the same company, she was more famous than Wendy and Daisy combined.

No one would feel happy in their positions.

When the feeling of dissatisfaction finally dissipated, Daisy heaved a heavy sigh.

"I'm aware that I'm not as famous as her.Well, there's nothing I can do but work hard anyway.I have a
feeling that the Story of Concubine Ivanka will be popular.By that time, we'll all be famous!" Wendy
nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Daisy turned to look at her.

"By the way, don't you have a scene with Odette this afternoon? Although I don't like her, I must admit,
her acting is impressive.Be careful.Don't get dwarfed by her."

"I will."

In the afternoon, it was finally time for Wendy and Odette's scene.

The scene was about a dinner party in celebration of Lady Faye's arrival at the palace.

It was there that the emperor announced that he would build the Faye Palace for her.

After hearing about it, Lady Ivanka advised the emperor in front of a group of concubines not to waste
money and resources since they were currently under siege.

The emperor was enraged upon hearing this.



He accused Lady lvanka of being jealous of Lady Faye and stormed out in a huff.

The party ended in discord.

Sometime later, Lady lvanka and Lady Faye happened to meet on the way back to their respective
places.

That was where they had a heated argument.This was the scene Wendy and Odette were about to
shoot.

Carter attached great importance to this scene.He believed that this was the turning point of the story.

"I want you to pull off an intense yet classy argument.Wendy, as you know, Lady Ivanka is the daughter
of your enemy, so you have mixed emotions towards her.You need to show that to the audience."

"Got it," Wendy replied.

"Are you ready?" Wendy and Odette looked at each other and nodded.

"Action!"

In the Imperial Garden, with their servants at their heels, Lady Faye and Lady Ivanka walked slowly
towards each other.

The two then stopped at a fork in the road.

Lady Faye's eyes narrowed at the sight of Lady Ivanka, but she immediately regained composure.

She was wearing a crimson dress, and it highlighted her features and beautiful face.

In a word, she looked radiant.



"What a coincidence! I deliberately took the long way, but we still met." There was subtle provocation in
Lady Faye's words when she spoke.

The maidservant beside her frowned at Lady Ivanka in displeasure.

Just as she was about to speak, Lady Ivanka cast a cold glance at her, rendering the maidservant
silent.

Lady lvanka was dressed in a light yellow robe.Her makeup, even though light and subtle, was
exquisite.

At that moment, she held the servant's arm and slowly took a step forward.

The cameraman aimed the camera at her to capture her emotions.

To everyone's surprise, Lady Ivanka covered her mouth with her hand and coughed softly.

It attracted everyone's attention, and several cameras focused on her.

She stood in front of Lady Faye and looked at her with disdain.

"I'm sensing some hostility, Faye," she said in a calm yet icy cold stone.

Wendy looked back at her with narrowed eyes.

Odette’s movement seemed unnoticeable and insignificant, but she used her body to block Wendy's
face in the camera.

As her face could not be seen in the cameras, they would be focused on Odette instead.

There was a term for what she had done.



It's called "steal the show"or "scene stealing."

Odette was scene-stealing her!
