Revegenful Billionaire

Chapter 18 | Filming Terminated

Filming has lasted almost a month without any significant obstacles. Carlotta has been holding back and trying to tolerate the existence of Alessandro in the process of making the film. But today is different.

Today, Carlotta will be doing her first kiss scene on a glass screen. And he felt unable because all the kissing experience he had only came from Alessandro. To make matters worse, Alessandro will be there to watch the entire filming process.

Marco Bruni approached him. "Are you okay, my dear?"

Carlotta grimaces. "I think I'm a little stressed. My monthly schedule's fucked up. The pimples on my face started to pop up. And most of all, I'm not in the mood to kiss Antonio Aquinas."

The tent for Carlotta was indeed quite large, although not as big as the main tent where the entire crew gathered. But Marco was not sure the place was airtight.

Just in case, Marco said very quietly. "What do you mean your monthly schedule's fucked up? You're late for the moon?"

Carlotta nodded.

Marco bit his own lips in dismay. "Look, Carlotta, was that night, you know, the night you were with Alessandro Ferrara, you were taking pills?"

Carlotta cringing. "What item, Marco? You forbid me from consuming alcohol and all kinds of drugs except vitamins. Remember that?"

Marco ruffled his own hair in frustration. "I mean, a pregnancy-preventing pill, or a KB pill, or something?"

Carlotta pout. "Of course not. You know myself I'm not sexually active."

Marco looked up at Carlotta. "You really never do 'that'?"

Carlotta shakes. "That night was my first night, Marco."

"Oh, my God." Marco has now pulled his own hair.

"You're back to being a religious person." Accuse Carlotta.

If only the situation wasn't as important as it is now, Marco would have laughed. "I'll be a religious man again today to pray that you'll soon get a moon."

Carlotta laughed softly. "No need to worry, Marco. My mom used to say, women need to do it many times in order to get pregnant. My mother even took five years before having me."

Marco looked at Carlotta with a look of disbelief. "Listen, Carlotta. Let's just hope your mother's words are true. But, can you remember that night Alessandro was wearing a security?"

Carlotta didn't want to remember that night. However, if forced to recall it, then the answer is, "Yes, I guess yes. She's wearing something like a balloon bubble? I've never seen anything like it before?"

Marco looked at Carlotta grimly, not knowing whether to be sad or happy. First, he was happy because Alessandro took protective measures. Second, he was sad because Carlotta never had good sexual knowledge and experience. This girl before him seemed to be even more innocent than the high school kids of today.

"In that case, we don't have to worry." Marco patted Carlotta on the shoulder. "If Alessandro's safeguards are working fine, then we'll be fine."

Carlotta nodded. "What I'm worried about isn't that. Today there was a kiss scene with Antonio Aquinas and I had to do it in front of Alessandro. You don't feel like it's anything precarious?"

Marco laughed, then looked at Carlotta with a probing gaze. "You're afraid Alessandro's jealous?"

Carlotta throws Marco with a chair cushion. "Don't taunt me, Marco. I'm just afraid Alessandro will mess up the filming."

Marco shrugged his shoulders. "I guess not. This is a film under his responsibility. He couldn't possibly mess up his own production film, could he?"

Carlotta shrugged uncertainly.

Alessandro Ferrara brought his office work to the set. Not something difficult. He only needed to sit on one of the seats of the audience which was located a bit high so that the voices of the entire crew did not bother him so much. Plus, she gets the bonus of being able to watch Carlotta Marinelli in old Roman imperial dresses.

Damn, Carlotta really looks like a Goddess.

Especially if the shooting is done in the afternoon. Alessandro swore, as if he had seen a halo, a halo, above Carlotta's head under the twilight sky.

Alessandro. "Why indeed?"

Luca Lombardi pointed to Carlotta and Antonio Aquinas who were filming a romantic scene.

***

Carlotta was really nervous. He keeps worrying about things that haven't happened yet. Every time he stepped closer to his co-star, he subconsciously continued to cast a glance towards Alessandro. Doing romantic scenes with other men in the presence of an ex-boyfriend is an awkward thing. Moreover, if the ex-boyfriend continues to stare at him intensely.

Alessandro's gaze made Carlotta hot-cold. Repeatedly he licked his own lips which somehow felt dry. He also could not look at his opponents with confidence as he should.

"Cuts! Well done, Carlotta!" Johann von Schiller approached Carlotta. "It shouldn't be like this, but I like your improvisation. You meet red according to the twilight sun. If I were in the audience seat, I'd really think you were in love."

Carlotta received some applause from the film crew. The girl thanked me. Occasionally, he still threw a glance at Alessandro nervously.

"The next scene is the highlight of the day!" Johann announced.

Carlotta's getting nervous. The girl tugged at the long broken white dress she was wearing. "S-while, Mr. von Schiller. Can I rest for a while?"

In his seat, Alessandro was heard asking what scene was next for his assistant. Alessandro immediately stood up and walked towards the set of the film in a huff after receiving an answer from Lombardi.

"There will be no kissing scenes in this movie!" As soon as Alessandro announces.

Johann immediately racked his waist. "This is my movie, Signor."

Alessandro retorted waist. "I'm the one who's funding this movie."

Johann raised his hand in frustration. "What makes you object, Signor?"

Alessandro accused Antonio Aquinas. "I don't want to see Carlotta kiss a guy like him."

Antonio Aquinas is pale. "What's my fault? I didn't do anything! I'm a professional, Signor!"

Alessandro would not listen to him. "What if we just asked Carlotta how she wanted it?"

Johann took off his sunglasses and looked at Alessandro straight. "Miss Marinelli has signed a contract after reading the script. He knew and agreed there was this scene in the movie."

Alessandro remains stubborn. "I want to hear the answer."

Carlotta cleared her throat, feeling uneasy as the situation became like this. The girl looked at Johann with an apologetic look. "Can I talk to Aless-I mean, Signor Ferrara, for a second?"

Johann waved his hand. "Please."

Carlotta immediately pulled Alessandro away from there, then took the man into her tent. Alessandro did not rebel, but he protested, "Let me take care of the next scene! You don't have to do anything"

Carlotta pinched Alessandro's arm hard.

"Aw! What are you doing?"

"Be quiet. You're embarrassing yourself!" Carlotta throws Alessandro into her tent, and they both disappear from the presence of the film crew.

On the set of the film, Marco whispers to the managers of other artists. "If this is the way, before this year's over, my actress will be Mrs Ferrara."

Other artist managers laughed, some confirmed Marco Bruni's words.
