Chapter 1256:
Upon hearing that, Margo moved slightly toward Rory, but the photographer was dissatisfied. He walked over to them.
“According to the script, you two are lovers, so be intimate p>
He pushed Margo closer to Rory and touched his chin, as if feeling that something was missing.
Suddenly, he grabbed Rory’s hand and placed it in Margo’s. They were both startled and tried to pull away, but the photographer clapped excitedly like a child.
“There you go! That’s it. Now don’t move! Hold that pose and expression!” With that, he hurried back to his camera and began taking pictures from various angles.
Pursing her lips, Margo looked away. Yet she couldn’t ignore the fact that Rory was now holding her hand firmly.
Their hands were clasped behind their backs, hidden from plain view unless someone looked carefully from the front.
Margo suddenly felt it might be a good thing for her—a chance to do something she could never do in real life.
Just as she was lost in thought, the photographer called out from behind the camera. “What’s wrong, Rory? Why does your smile look so bitter? People might think you’re under pressure p>
“My apologies,” Rory replied with a strained smile. His reaction left Margo with a sense that something was amiss.
Rory remained in low spirits throughout the shoot, and Margo lost count of how many times the photographer had to pause.
“Let’s take a short break before continuing,” the photographer finally said, checking his watch. He signaled the crew to rest.
Margo glanced up at Rory, only to find he had already walked away.
He sat silently on a lounge chair, staring at his phone, ignoring whatever his agent was saying. Margo watched him intently, her lips pressed together. She knew only one person in the world could upset him like this.

And for a moment, seeing him so unsettled, she felt a quiet sense of satisfaction.
Yet her heart was also steeped in bitterness. Rory was distracted because of that one person, and it left him trapped in the same kind of misery as her.
Fortunately, they only had one photography session and one short clip to film. The workload wasn’t heavy, so they wrapped up before noon.
After work, Margo went looking for Rory, only to learn he had already left the set.
Still lost in thought, she felt someone tap her shoulder.
“What are you staring at? Looking for your Mr. Right?” her agent teased with a grin.
“Nobody. Don’t be ridiculous.” Margo shrugged and began packing up.
Her agent looked at her helplessly and crossed her arms. “Hurry up. Don’t keep you-know-who waiting too long. You’ve been absent-minded all day. Don’t tell me you’re going to throw away your career over some silly relationship, girl p>
“Where are we going? Do we have an appointment?” Margo still wasn’t fully present, but she had the nagging sense she was forgetting something.
“Mr. Hopkins has been waiting for you in the parking lot for a while. Don’t tell me you didn’t know that.” Her agent eyed her suspiciously. “For God’s sake, I haven’t overloaded you with work, have I p>
Margo patted her forehead, and it finally clicked—she had a date with Dunn that afternoon.
