Chapter 294 - 297: The Unavoidable Heartthrob
After arriving at the filming site, Lily Gray quickly began her work.
This time, ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’ was a joint project between the Gray family and the Wellington Family, and both sides attached great importance to it.
As soon as Lily arrived, she ran into David Redington face-to-face in the makeup room.
“Lily.” David approached her unabashedly in front of everyone.
By now, he was already dressed in his costume.
He wore a black imperial uniform with gold patterns, along with an ancient men’s headdress. Due to the script’s requirements, his wig was a purple-red color. Paired with his dark blue eyes, it gave him an unusually enchanting and captivating aura.
He was indeed a magnificent and unparalleled ancient king.
Seeing David approach, Lily nervously smiled at him.
Sigh, she had tried her best to avoid him all day yesterday.
But to her surprise, as soon as she arrived on set today, she still bumped into David.
“David, good morning.”
Lily pretended to be relaxed as she greeted David.
However, she couldn’t help but think that the five-step distance rule set by Ethan Wilson had just been broken.
Seeing that she was no longer avoiding him, the smile in David’s eyes deepened a little.
“How is it, on your first time as a producer? How does it feel?”
In the industry, David was considered her senior.
For such a lofty heartthrob to care about a newcomer producer like her was indeed Lily’s good fortune.
They were standing in the corridor outside the makeup room at the moment.
As people passed by and heard David’s words, they couldn’t help cast envious glances at Lily.
Even as the CEO of the Gray Group, she still could not match David’s status in their eyes.
Unfortunately, what others considered a good fortune, Lily felt was a mixed blessing.
She forced a smile, “It’s, it’s okay.”
Oh, mom, that’s already the second sentence.
Lily always had the feeling that there was a sword hanging over her head.
As if Ethan would suddenly jump out and ominously tell her that she had already crossed the line he had set for her.
Lily’s eyes darted around, not daring to meet David’s gaze.
This obvious evasion made David’s handsome eyebrows furrow slightly.
“Lily Gray…” he suddenly called her name, his resonant and clear voice possessing a unique masculine charm.
Being addressed so formally, Lily couldn’t help responding, “Yes?”
Seeing her beautiful peach blossom eyes finally landing on his face, no longer flashing around, David finally revealed a warm smile, “So, are you really afraid of me?”
Lily was caught off guard by David’s question, her face turning red.
Had she really been… that obvious?
“No, of course not.”
As a producer, how could she offend a top movie star like David? She immediately shook her head in denial.
David knew that this woman would not dare to admit it.
“Since you’re not afraid of me, don’t always hide from me. Hmm… this is for you… You should bring more warming equipment when coming to the set in such cold weather. One look and I can tell that you’re a newcomer.”
With that, he stuffed a hand warmer and hot water bottle that he had been holding into Lily’s arms.
“This…” Lily wanted to refuse, but David stopped her.
“If you don’t accept it, I will take it as you’re really avoiding me.”
Now, there was nothing left to say.
Lily could only reluctantly accept David’s gifts and hold the hot potato. She went to find Skye Brown.

When she found Skye in the lounge, she was frowning and scribbling on the script.
Lily entered, but Skye did not notice.
“Skye, I’m here!” She waved her hand in front of Skye’s eyes, and Skye finally looked up from her script.
“Lily, you came at the right time. Can you talk to the people from the Wellington family and ask them not to keep stuffing vases into our play? If their CEO wants to promote his own women, he should do it in other plays. Why must he stuff them into our crew?”
