Revegenful Billionaire

Chapter 17 | New Executive Producer

Carlotta feels comfortable on her latest set. Marco made sure everything was prepared according to the girl's personal preference. He has also known for a long time with several players who will compete with him.

Antonio Aquinas, the male lead, has been poor in the Italian entertainment world since childhood. It was an honor for Carlotta to act with Antonio. Although their age is not so far adrift, Antonio is much more senior in the world of film than he is.

The script reading had been done long before this, but Mrs Sevillo gave a re-direction according to the script. Johann von Schiller went on to do a style briefing. This movie is a romantic movie. Initial filming will take place at the Colosseum later in the afternoon.

"Remember, Carlotta. Your initial role was to become a princess of the Kingdom of Gaia. After Legate Aquila destroyed your kingdom, you went to Rome and you intend to take revenge." Johann says. "I'm not going to start there. We'll start when you get to Rome and become a Courtesan. You're a Courtesan, but in your heart, you're still a royal princess. Can you do that?"

Carlotta nodded.

Johann did not doubt the ability of his actresses. He just wants to assert the role of each so that everything goes according to the scenario. "good. Filming will be done later this afternoon. We're gonna hang out with the whole crew at lunch, right after I'm done briefing the other actors."

Carlotta said, "Alright. Then I'll go first to lunch?"

Johann nodded. The Colosseum was closed for the day. The production team has set up large white tents in the middle of the Colosseum as a lunch spot for the entire crew. "Just go first, Carlotta. Many other crews had gathered there. Fill your energy well, don't eat less."

Carlotta smile. "As soon as I'm hungry."

When Carlotta got to the front of the big white tent, Marco Bruni quickly pulled him aside, preventing Carlotta from entering.

"You can't go there." So said Marco.

Carlotta scrunched her forehead. "But I want to eat, Marco."

Marco shook his head hard. "Wait outside. I'll take your food outside."

Carlotta is confused. "What's the matter, Marco? I am free to eat outside. Soon the whole crew will be gathered inside."

Carlotta brushed off Marco's hand in confusion, then stepped inside.

His heart immediately beat hard and his legs became limp when he saw 'he' was at the head of the table.

Alessandro Ferrara's.

***

Alessandro Ferrara stood up from his seat as soon as Carlotta came. The people around him turned to see who was coming.

"That's our Princess of Gaia!" Alessandro said, widening his arms, welcoming Carlotta.

Carlotta looked at him. There was a glint of dislike in her eyes, but the girl's cheeks met slightly. For now, Alessandro was quite satisfied with that.

Some of the film's crew shifted, giving way to Carlotta. Carlotta's seat was to the right of the head of the table, to the right of Alessandro. The arrangement was like that before. However, Carlotta thought Signor Benito, his stepfather would sit on Alessandro's seat. Now, Carlotta doesn't know what to do.

A film crew escorted Carlotta to her seat, then Alessandro stood up and pulled the seat over to Carlotta. "Please sit down." Alessandro was friendly.

Carlotta felt her head turn all of a sudden. Alessandro was the last person he wanted to see right now. Or any time at any time. Because as soon as he saw it, all Carlotta wanted to do was claw his face like a carving. Or break his erect, pointed nose. Or ruffling her hair into a mess. No, Carlotta didn't have to imagine what she wanted to do to Alessandro. Even more so when the man was in front of Carlotta.

"Please bring fresh fruits at the beginning. Carlotta loves to eat fruit before the main meal. Don't you think, honey?" Alessandro asked him.

Carlotta wanted to stuff the onion loaf on her plate into Alessandro's mouth because the man had just casually uttered an all-too-familiar call in front of many. But, in the end Carlotta could only nod.

There was something in the creamy soup in front of him. Too thick, the look reminds Carlotta of the baby's vomit. Then, the onion bread in front of him was also strange. It smells too bad.

Carlotta's stomach became nauseous.

"You okay, Carlotta?" Alessandro looked at her worriedly.

Carlotta shakes. "I'm gonna puke."

Alessandro let out a low and deep laugh. "Are you implying that you're sick of seeing me here?"

"No," Carlotta said quickly. Then, he changed his mind. "I think you're right. Can you get out of here and don't show up in front of me again?"

Alessandro held onto his own chest, as if he had been deeply hurt by Carlotta's words. "Unfortunately, that couldn't have happened. Now I'm the executive producer of this film."

Carlotta looked at him sharply. "Don't make it up, Alessandro. The executive producer is my mother's husband! He himself funded this movie so much that he knew I was going to be the lead."

"Now he has handed over his position to me, Carlotta. And by the way, I like your stepfather better than your real father. If we get married later, please let your stepfather take you to the altar." Alessandro was only joking, but Carlotta was really angry.

The girl glared at him for a few seconds, then her eyes started to glaze over the next few seconds.

Oh, no, no. Alessandro did not know how to deal with women's cries. Carlotta can't cry. Not here, in front of everyone.

"Calm down, honey. I didn't mean it. I intend to be single for life. I think that information will calm you down a little?" Alessandro asked.

Carlotta opened her eyes to remove the tears that were ready to spill earlier. Her fresh fruits had come and her appetite had returned. Without answering Alessandro, Carlotta began to eat. After finishing one plate, Carlotta put down her fork and rubbed her mouth gently with the napkin.

"One more plate." Alessandro instructs a maid to bring a second plate to Carlotta.

Carlotta looked at him disapprovingly, but Alessandro just chuckled. "I know you're still hungry. What's the point of torturing yourself with hunger, Carlotta? After all, these are just fruits. Your weight won't go up and your diet won't break."

He wants to deflect. He did not want to obey the words of Alessandro. But this time Carlotta was hungry. And by God, the fruits before him seemed alluring. Mango, strawberry, blueberry, kiwi, melon, and also pomegranate. All the fruits Carlotta liked.

"Eat, Carlotta. Lunch time will be over soon. Filming until night. You need extra energy if you don't want to faint before your work hours are over." Alessandro persuaded.

Carlotta grabbed his fork.

"Smart girl." Alessandro stroked Carlotta's hair, but the girl did not notice it as it was already preoccupied with her food.
