Chapter 43Chapter 43 Perfect Performance
Enzo looked at the monitor screen and frowned.
According to the script, Isabel had to read the love letter.He wondered what Claire was doing.He raised
the microphone to stop the filming.But then, Claire looked up and cleared her throat.She read the letter
in fluent Latin in her silky voice.
The set fell silent.
The crew members were confused.
They gaped at Enzo, wondering what was happening, The assistant director seemed equally confused.
"Enzo.....
novelbin"Shut up!"
Enzo waved his hand, silencing him as he continued to stare at the monitor in awe.
Claire finished reading the love letter in fluent Latin and looked at Sierra.
"Wow! How touching! I almost cried," she scoffed sarcastically.
"Nova, you better give up on Mr.Gordon!"
Sierra was stunned.She never expected Claire could speak Latin.
"You..." she stuttered in shock.
"Cut!"Hearing the director's voice, the crew members felt relieved and soon began discussing the scene.
"What just happened?"
"There are no Latin dialogues in the script."
"I didn't know Claire could speak Latin.She seems more talented than I expected."
Enzo's face darkened.He walked to Claire and grabbed the love letter.
"Prop team!" he bellowed after looking at it.
"Who is responsible for this? What the hell is going on?"
A prop guy hurriedly ran over to Enzo.
Seeing the love letter was in Latin, he apologetically bowed before him.
"I'm sorry, sir.It's our fault.We should have checked the props carefully."
He had written the love letter in English and couldn't understand who had changed it.
The shooting was temporarily suspended, and Enzo reprimanded him.
The prop man didn't dare retort and nodded apologetically.
Once Enzo vented out all his anger, Claire spoke to him.
"Enzo, do you want me to act in the scene again?"
"No!"Enzo rested his hands on his hips and took deep breaths to calm down.He was impressed with Claire's
performance.He had thought Claire was here to perform in the play only because she had the
investor's support.
But her performance had taken him by surprise.
"I didn't expect that you could speak Latin."
His tone softened, and his opinion of her drastically changed.’ Her expression and the way she read
the letter in Latin seemed better than what he had planned in the original script.
"It's no big deal."
Claire smiled.She was neither overbearing nor modest.
Claire cast an indifferent look at Sierra, whose face had turned ghastly pale.
Sweat beaded her forehead.
Claire sneered at her.
Sierra had planned to humiliate her in front of everyone.She had to think of a way to get even with her.
Ultimately, Enzo decided to keep this scene in the film.
The shooting continued without a hitch.
Everything went on seamlessly, and Claire continued to surprise the director with her immense talent.
All her scenes for the day finally ended in the afternoon.
People's impression of Claire changed after they witnessed her performance.Actors’ popularity mainly relied on their acting skills, and everyone could see with their eyes whether
their acting skills were good or not.
People had the tendency to rate an actor's performance.
Even if Claire had joined the project with money, everyone was impressed with her acting skills.
Once they wrapped up the shoot, Claire walked past Sierra and stopped on purpose.
"I know it was you," she said in a low voice so that no one could hear her.
"What?"
Sierra turned around and smiled.
"I don't understand what you mean."
She cast a provocative look at her.
"I've learned twelve foreign languages since I was a child, and Latin is just one of them."
Claire arched an eyebrow.
"You should learn fully about me before trying to set me up.Don't embarrass yourself with such a stupid
trick again."
With that, Claire haughtily left.
Sierra was seething with rage.
"Claire! Wait!"Cecil quickly ran after Claire and caught up with her.She frowned and stopped.
"We hardly know each other.You better not call me by my first name."
"Miss Williams, you seem cold,"
Cecil remarked, faking disappointment.However, he quickly changed his tone and smiled at her.
"But I like thorny roses."
"I don’t care what you like!"
With that, Claire walked past Cecil, ignoring him.
Cecil was taken aback.
"Ouch! This thorn is quite sharp."
He rubbed his chin and stared at Claire's receding figure.
"Looks like I have to try harder."
Claire left the set and drove back to her home.It was dinner time.Her stomach grumbled.
She let out a weary sigh and walked out of the car to enter the house.
Just then, a loud noise startled her.
Two fireworks exploded in front of Claire.
"Claire! Welcome home!"
Two familiar voices shouted in chorus.
