Chapter 305: Bliss


    Five minutester, the producer was standing in front of Ryan.


    The producer was a plump middle-aged man who always wore simple clothes and was busy on the set


    all year round.He felt a sinking feeling in his stomach when he heard that Ryan wanted to see him.He


    was anxious and apprehensive all the way here.His forehead was beaded with sweat.


    "Mr.Oliver, what can I do for you?"


    "It''s already 9:15 p.m."


    The producer was stunned, perplexed by what Ryan meant by that.


    "Yes, it''s alreadyte.Do you want to go back now and rest?"he asked tentatively.

    Ryan''s face darkened.


    The producer wiped the sweat off his forehead.He felt more anxious when he saw that Ryan seemed


    even more displeased than he was a while ago.He could not help but worry if Ryan thought that their


    shooting was slow and ineffectual.


    That was the only possibility he could think of.


    Glory Media was the biggest investor in the Story of Concubine Ivanka.


    It was only natural for them to demand to finish the filming of the said drama as soon as possible.


    At the thought of this, the producer patted his chest and assured Ryan confidently, "Mr.Oliver, don''t


    worry.


    The drama will be finished in two months and will be aired just in time for the winter holiday.


    We''ll work overtime today and finish the scheduled scenes no matter what."


    To his surprise, Ryan frowned.


    This baffled the producer even more.He did not know what to do anymore.


    ‘What does he want?’ he wondered.


    He could not figure it out at all.


    Clueless, the producer looked at Luke for help.


    In all honesty, Luke had been holding back hisughter, especially when he heard what the producer


    had said.


    To him, it was hrious.


    Ryan had called the producer over to ask him to let the crew get off work early.


    He felt sorry for Wendy as she did not have a good night''s sleepst night.


    However, the producer did not understand what Ryan wanted and even assured him that they would


    work overtime.


    Truthfully speaking, it was not the producer''s fault.


    Nobody knew that Ryan was here for Wendy, after all.


    Luke, considerate as he was, went to the rescue.


    "Ryan is saying that it''s alreadyte.The actors and staff must be tired."


    The producer was finally enlightened "Oh! You want us to call it a day?"


    "Yes."


    Ryan nodded in agreement, and the glum on his face dissipated.


    The producer was astonished.


    ‘So…”Mr.Oliver is concerned all along that we''ve been working for too long? How could a boss not like


    his employees to work overtime?’ This was the first time he had seen a boss like Ryan.


    "You all have been working for the whole day, and it''s alreadyte in the evening.If the actors don''t get


    enough sleep, their bodies might not be able to handle their work, and they might not be able to give


    their best in the next filming," Luke exined.


    "We don''t encourage working overtime.We believe it''s a sign of ipetence."


    ‘Really?’ The producer''s mouth twitched, unable to believe his ears.


    One of his friends worked in the Oliver Group.


    That friend of his alwaysined about the heavy workload in thepany and that they had to


    work overtime often.


    However, the producer knew better than to call Luke out for his hypocrisy.


    Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "I''ll go and inform the director that we''re done for today."


    "Very well." Ryan nodded again.


    The producer went to the filming site at once.


    As soon as he told Carter about his conversation with Ryan, Carter shouted through the speaker,


    "Everyone, let''s call it a day.We''ll continue shooting tomorrow morning."


    The staff and actors cheered.


    Meanwhile, Ryan was gazing at Wendy from afar.


    The moment she heard the director that the shooting for today was done, her eyes lit up, and she


    smiled in relief.


    Ryan''s gaze softened.


    "Ryan, they''re getting off work now.Should we go now?" Luke asked and yawned.


    He could not fall asleepst night.


    He was up until two o''clock in the morning, thinking what Ryan and Wendy were talking about on the


    phone that pleased Ryan.


    All he wanted at the moment was to catch up on some sleep.


    "Let''s go." Ryan stood up.


    Just as he was about to leave, Carter and the producer walked over to them.


    "Mr.Oliver, are you leaving?"


    "Yeah."


    "Let us see you off." Ryan nodded.


    With that, the four of them walked out of the set.


    When Ryan and Luke finally got into their car, Carter and the producer looked at each other and sighed


    in relief.


    Finally! In truth, they were as nervous as the actors.


    How could they not? Ryan was eyeing them the whole day.


    His stone-cold face was so intimidating.


    After the director called it a day, the actors went to their dressing rooms to change.


    Wendy was in the same room with Daisy, so they changed their clothes together.


    "Well, I haven''t been able to get off work before 9:30p.m.these past few days.Wendy, it’s still early.Do


    you want to go out for a drink?"


    Daisy asked and started to take off her costume to change into her own clothes.


    "No, thank you." Wendy was through with going to bars.


    "I just want to go back to catch up on some sleep,"she added while yawning.


    "Alright then, but I''ll still go.I feel suffocated after being at the set every day.I want to indulge myself and


    have some snacks.Oh, dear carbohydrates..."


    Daisy almost drooled as she imagined all the delicious food she had been restraining herself from


    eating.


    "Do you want me to bring you some takeaway?"


    "I''m on a diet," Wendy replied with a smile.


    "Ew! Don''t even mention that to me." Daisy was sick of hearing those words.


    Wendy burst intoughter.


    When they were done changing, Wendy got into Daisy''s van.


    Daisy asked her driver to drop Wendy off at the hotel, and then the twodies waved goodbye to each


    other.


    Meanwhile, Odette was filming with the assistant director.She only finished her scene ten minutes after


    Carter''s group.


    When she heard that they could leave now, she rushed to her dressing room at once.


    Just as she stepped out, she happened to bump into her assistant who was about to enter the room.


    "Mary, where''s Mr.Oliver?"


    "Well, I came here to tell you that.He left about ten minutes ago," Mary replied dejectedly.


    The smile on Odette''s face froze.She was bbergasted.


    Seeing that Odette was appalled, Maryforted her.


    "Odette, don''t be sad.He was here the whole day, remember? Besides, he''s a very busy man.What do


    you think he was here for? To see you, of course."


    Odette blushed, and she instantly felt better.


    "It''s a pity that he just left without saying a word.Don''t worry.You can talk to him next time hees,"


    Mary reassured.


    There was nothing Odette could do at the moment.


    She could not help but heave a heavy sigh.


    "Mary, do you really think that Mr.Oliver came here today for me?" Mary nodded without a second


    thought.


    "Of course!"


    "If that''s the case, why didn''t hee to our group?"


    "Odette, you''re just reading too much into it.Think about it.Has he evere to the set before? Do you


    think that it''s just a coincidence that he came on the same day you did? It''s obvious that he came here


    just for you.Maybe the reason he didn''te to our group was that he was worried about being


    gossiped about."


    ‘Yes! That must be it" Odette was in bliss when she thought that Ryan had waited for her the entire day.
