Chapter 2177: Because of Summer
"Anyway, we won't be contributing to the renovation costs. We simply can't afford it," Mrs. Brightwood admitted. "Even if I drained all the blood from my body, I couldn't come up with the money. Let them handle it themselves."
"Renovation is something that can be done gradually," Mr. Brightwood said calmly. "The house won't be ready for at least two years. Summer has her acting fees, and Rupert has his job."
"Summer will receive her relocation compensation in less than two years," Mrs. Brightwood added. "She can pay for the renovation herself then. Rupert's business will also improve. Their small family needs to rely on themselves. Without pressure, they'll never grow up or take responsibility."
"Alright, alright, no need to say more. Talking about meaningless things is just a waste of breath."
"Yes, tonight we can finally sleep well. Now that we've bought the house, I feel at ease."
Today, 500 sanitation workers in Arkpool City received roses, their simple faces beaming with happiness.
"Thank you, thank you," some female sanitation workers said excitedly as they accepted the flowers. "I've lived for 48 years and this is the first time I've received flowers."
The joy and gratitude they felt were beyond words.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
They usually lived frugally, not daring to spend a penny carelessly.
This became a beautiful scene on the street, personally delivered by Mr. Campbell, who even earned his own delivery fee.
Seeing the happy smiles on the faces of the sanitation workers, this kind-hearted florist felt as sweet as honey inside, smiling broadly under the scorching sun.
On set.
They were still filming the second scene because it took five takes to get through the first one, all due to Summer's inability to get into character.
"Tristan, you still haven't answered my question." Summer grabbed Spencer's arm, her eyes devoid of emotion. "What exactly did you tell Grandpa?"
Tristan knew he couldn't hide this for long; it would eventually come out. So he met her gaze and confessed sincerely, "I said we've been dating for almost a year."
Summer tried hard to muster her emotions.
"I said that the clothes you're wearing were my first design, tailored specifically for you."
Hearing this, Summer furrowed her brows tightly.
The director watched her micro-expressions on the screen and was dissatisfied with both close-ups and wide shots.
The director frowned and called out, "Cut!"
Both actors turned their heads.
The director walked over. "Summer, what's going on today? You can't seem to get into character. Hearing Tristan tell Grandpa that should overwhelm you with pressure because of your different social statuses. It's not just shock it's an immense pressure."
"I'm sorry, Director..." Summer lowered her eyes, feeling very apologetic and aware that she wasn't in the right state today.
Spencer's concerned gaze fell on her face. He knew she had tried her best and that Rupert had completely ruined her mood today.
So he told the director, "Director,
actually it's my fault for affecting her performance. When we discussed emotions this morning, Summer's understanding was spot on; it was my interpretation that was off."
Hearing this, Summer was a bit surprised and turned to look at him in disbelief.
The director also didn't want to say more after hearing this. Regardless of the truth, Spencer was already covering for her.
The director looked at both of them
and then calmed down. "Alright then,
discuss it further between
yourselves. Take a half-hour break and adjust before we shoot again. Let's aim to get it in one take without wasting everyone's time."
"Okay, thank you, Director," Spencer said with a smile as he watched the director leave.
Then he turned his gaze to Summer and gently comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Let's take a break and have some juice to refresh ourselves."
