After a couple of shots, Anthony’s doubts were completely gone. He thought Thea was just some good-looking phenomenal actor with decent acting skills. However, Thea’s performance far exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, Thea was the fastest learner he had ever met. She tended to understand what he said really fast. And she could digest what he said almost within minutes.
Dylan was not flexible at the beginning. He would even fail to catch up with Thea’s rhythm sometimes. But Thea was good at bringing her fellow male lead into the character.
After doing a couple of scenes, Dylan finally adapted to the style of the movie, and he started to get better.
The chemistry between these two was crazy. Antony even suspected these two were in love at one point.
What he didn’t know was that Thea and Dylan had worked together too many times, and they had already known each other’s strong points and weaknesses.
But Cody Bradley always showed up after every day’s shooting, casting a threatening eye at Dylan. Antony thus dropped the suspicion.
Dylan had been completely brought into: the character. He wanted to call his girlfriend over that night, but he didn’t want to ruin the feeling. So he tried to suppress that.
Cody noticed the way he looked at Thea after the shooting, and he was so pissed off.
How dare this son of a bitch covet his woman?
But they were still on-site at the moment. Cody didn’t want to cause Thea any inconvenience on her work site, so he chose to hold it back.
The situation lasted until September, when the crew finally took a five-day break.
Dylan looked a bit lost when he got to know that he couldn’t see Thea for a while. So he sent her a necklace.
After getting to know that, Cody was so jealous that he didn’t speak to Thea for a whole morning.
Other people in the Weston house had seen that, but Thea didn’t notice. She thought Cody was only in his office, working.
“Ahem, Thea, didn’t you notice that Cody’s a bit different from usual today?” Mia asked after lunch.
Thea thought for a bit, “He is? I don’t see the difference… He said the company is busy, and he needs to have an online meeting with Matt in his office.”
“Yeah, and he didn’t even come down for lunch,” Mia looked at Thea as if she was an idiot.
“Oh,” Thea suddenly realized that Cody barely talked today.
“Thea, seriously, Cody can be a bastard sometimes, but he tends to keep everything to himself. That poor man always suppresses his feelings even though he’s not happy with a lot of things. You need to go and talk to him.” Mia urged.
The fact was… Even though Cody Bradley was in a bad mood, he still refused to take it out on his precious wife. Other innocent people in this house thus became his dartboard. Logan went upstairs to see him this morning, and he barely came down alive.
For the safety and mental health of the family, Mia decided to get the problem solved by sending Thea.
Thea knew she needed to talk to Cody, but she wouldn’t go up randomly and get on Cody’s nerves before figuring out what he was mad about.
So she saved her little talk for their bedtime.
Cody was still sulking when they went to bed. Thea rolled over and rested her head on his chest, “Boss, are you mad at me?”
Cody rolled his eyes, still sulking, “How dare I even get mad at you, Mrs. Bradley?”
“So you’re mad at me?” Thea looked up, pouting, “Is it because of Dylan?”
Cody’s lips set in a thin line as he looked down at his beautiful wife. After a beat, he only started to say, “Do you really have to do the sex scenes?”
So he was mad at Dylan.
Thea sighed, “I’ve talked to the director. The sex scene won’t be too revealing. He will use montage, and it will be vague and tasteful. What you’re worried about right now won’t happen.”
What else could Cody have said? This was Thea’s job, and she had already been trying her best to take care of his feelings. He couldn’t be too demanding.
He just loved her a little too much.
****
Cody’s bad mood lasted. But he tried his best to be nice around people so Thea wouldn’t be too worried.
When the shooting started again, Dylan was still in his best state, and Antony loved the chemistry.
Cody pulled a face as he watched when Thea in that lovely red dress danced with Dylan in the middle of the hall.
He wished he was blind.
Antony felt Cody’s presence sharply. He didn’t even dare to make too many compliments when Cody was around all the time. He could only encourage all the actors and workers secretly in the group chat.
The sex scene was arranged to be the last scene of the shooting. Cody couldn’t bear watching anymore. He left the site.
Besides, he didn’t want to make Thea feel awkward by standing there, glaring.
The director used a lot of different angles to get the best frames. Their bodies barely touched, but Dylan still had some awkward reaction at the end of the shooting.
He apologized to Thea, and Thea just smiled. It was normal for actors to have reactions after shooting sex scenes. Thea wouldn’t look at Dylan as a pervert because she knew what kind of person he was.
She didn’t feel awkward or scared. She was just really tired after doing those scenes.
The shooting warped after this scene. The director planned to finish the shooting in October, but everything went on so smoothly, and they only used one month.
Thea loved the shooting, and she also loved Antony’s work attitude and methods. There would be a wrap party at night. Thea picked a beautiful dress and put some makeup on. When she was ready to go, Cody also put on a sharp suit.
The party was warm and fantastic. Cody’s mood got better because he didn’t need to see Dylan putting his hands on Thea anymore.
When the party was over, Thea and Cody went back home. They decided to take a couple of days off before the shooting of Heavenfall began.
However, Cody suddenly remembered that Dylan was also the male lead in that movie. He suddenly became extremely irritated.
