Chapter 1098

Mr. Donnell had a very strong opinion against actors who used stand-ins while filming, so Xyla acted in
the scene personally, but she had gone through a few NG shots ever since the crew started filming.

However, Mr. Donnell did not get angry but enlightened her patiently instead. “Xyla, you should let your
concerns go and just act. It’s been so long since you’ve joined the crew, and I have faith in your acting.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Donnell. I’ll make some adjustments to my emotions.” Xyla was really nervous. After all,
this scene was the boldest and the most open scene that she had in this film.

Although she had already mentally prepared herself multiple times for the scene, she was not really sure
when it was time for her to act.

The director started the next shoot, but in order to make Xyla perform better, he had decided to clear all
the staff members out of the studio, leaving only a few videographers there.

Xyla went into the water again and managed to dance gracefully when the live music sounded. The thin
feathered clothes matched her graceful dance moves perfectly, allowing her to give off a unique charm
while in the pool.

While everything was going on smoothly, Yorrick appeared out of nowhere and stood behind the director.
It was the director’s assistant who realized that he was there first and stood up immediately. “Mr.

Hathaway-”

Yorrick placed his finger in front of his lips and shushed him while staring at the video recording screen.



Lily LeBlanc would frown and chuckle when she looked back at the king, all of which were secretly
enticing and enchanting him.

She then accidentally fell into the king’s arms, and the king managed to catch her.’ Is this a surprise for
me, milady?”

Lily LeBlanc picked up the golden jug and goblet from the edge of the pool and complained captivatingly,
“It ‘s not fun for Your Majesty to drink alone. Just as the saying goes, ‘Fine wine will only taste great
when it’s coupled with a fine drinking companion’.”

The king was delighted, laughed loudly, and lifted her face by her chin. “My dear Lily, you’re truly a
wonderful person, and I’m quite fond of you.”

She placed her index finger on his lips. “So, does that mean that Your Majesty fancies my
companionship?” The king was fascinated. “I like it. The harem has hundreds or even thousands of
beauties, but I’ll only pamper you, Lily.”



Xyla and Mr. Donnell both got out of the pool after the director ended the scene. Mr. Donnell then nodded
and complimented Xyla with satisfaction, “That’s it. It looks a lot better than the previous few takes. You
do have great potential when it comes to acting.”

Mindy brought Xyla a towel and wrapped it around her while Xyla nodded at Mr.

Donnell and gave off a grin. “Thank you, sir.”

She then sneezed twice in a row and started to feel a little light-headed.

“Mr. Hathaway, since when did you come?” The director was also taken aback by Yorrick’s sudden
appearance.

Hearing the commotion, Xyla was astonished for a moment when she glanced in the direction of the
noises

‘Yorrick really came to the studio!’

Mindy looked over too. “Xy, is he here for you?”

“Are you kidding-” The tip of Xyla’s nose felt extremely itchy, causing her to sneeze again. She threw the
towel back to Mindy and said, “I’m going to change my clothes.”

She left the scene in a hurry.

She went to the locker room to change out of her wet clothes, however, her dizziness worsened when
she came out of the fitting room, and her vision started to turn blurry.

A hand pulled her into someone’s arms abruptly. And before Xyla could react to the sudden jerk, two
warm lips had already sealed her lips.

Xyla’s pupils constricted!

The sudden kiss made Xyla’s head go blank. In addition to the drowsiness that was already catching up
to her, the sudden shock made her lose the strength to keep her feet under her body.

Yorrick held her cheek with his palms, felt a fiery sensation, and took his lips off hers. And the first thing
that caught Yorrick’s attention was Xyla falling backward in a daze, so he immediately brought her back



into his arms. “Hey-”

He placed the back of his hand on her

forehead to get a better read of her body temperature, picked her up almost instantly, and dashed out.

Marione and the other actresses were dumbfounded when they saw Yorrick leaving the fitting room with
Xyla in his arms.

“Isn’t that… Mr. Hathaway?” “I thought Xyla denied that they’re dating each other? What’s going on
now?” Xyla had a high fever, so she was hospitalized for an intravenous drip. When she regained
consciousness, she heard her parents’ voices.
