ASTRID was able to finish his individual teaser photoshoot very early. Because of that, they were able to go to their assigned hotel much faster than the other cast members who were also taking make-up photos. The hotel assigned to them was near the show’s filming site. Just one look at the building and Astrid could immediately tell that the hotel was pretty high class. Almost the same as the hotel he used when he was filming [The Sleeping God]. Well, something like this was probably natural. Considering that both were high budget productions. “You did a great job back then,” Ellis said as they walked inside the hotel. “You were really amazing. If I didn’t know your talent for acting, I would have probably recommended you to be a model.” And she was not even exaggerating when she said that. She was watching the whole photoshoot. Seeing Astrid project his inner priest was a delightful treat. She was only planning to take some photos to use once the promotions started. But she ended up taking a lot more than she normally would. That’s how good the shoot was. Astrid only chuckled when he heard that. In his opinion, there’s actually little difference between acting and taking photos. The latter was simply acting without moving. Astrid only had to act his role and it would be easy. If he thought of it that way, then photoshoots like this one would be a walk in the park. “Director Scott would probably have a headache choosing which picture of you to use for the official teaser poster,” Ellis added. In her opinion, it would definitely be between the last two photos. If she was to choose, she would definitely pick the last one. Although the second to the last photo was also really good, there’s just something immaculate about that last shot. She saw the reaction of the other people watching the shoot and she’s certain that she’s not the only one who felt that way. “It won’t probably be to that extent. I’m sure Director Scott already has an image of each character in his mind,” Astrid said. “I doubt it. But feel free to think otherwise,” Ellis said in a nonchalant manner, thinking that her artist clearly didn’t know how amazing he was during that photoshoot. “Anyway, it’s not our problem, it’s theirs,” she just added with a shrug. “Since we have plenty of time today, should we tour around the set after we put our things in the hotel room?” Astrid nodded. “Okay.” ———- By the time it was lunch hour, both Astrid and Ellis had toured all the areas that would be used for the filming. Well, except for the ones where the war scene would be taken. From what Ellis had heard, the site would be at a different location. Understandable enough since they needed a wide empty area for something like that. “Where do you want to eat?” Ellis asked. They were inside a land vehicle they rented to go around the filming site with ease. “Let’s just eat at the hotel restaurant,” Astrid answered. Ellis nodded and put the direction of the hotel in the GPS system. “Tomorrow will be the group photoshoot, so you will definitely meet the other cast members,” Ellis said. “I did my research on them, personality wise, and most are pretty unproblematic. Just like that Yujin for example.” “Most meaning there are still some, right?” Astrid asked with a wry smile. “Yes, two of them actually,” Ellis admitted. “The main heroine – Chelsea Olson, has the habit of only talking and showing respect to those who are much higher in her in the Star List but low-key rude to those who aren’t. But you don’t have to worry about her too much since the two of you barely have any scenes together. You can just politely greet her if the two of you happened to cross each other’s paths. “The second one is more problematic in my opinion. The second male lead and also the pseudo villain of the series – Lance Reid. I’ve heard rumors about him having affairs with young newcomers he co-starred with. This hadn’t made any huge headline so far. But it’s mainly because his affairs had all been consensual. After the production was over, the affair would also end. “You and Yujin would most likely be his target this time around. The only good thing about this was there wasn’t any rumor of him forcing anyone. So, as long as you reject him and show that you don’t want to be connected to him in any shape or form, he would back out. Hopefully.” Astrid, who was listening carefully to what his agent was saying, agreed with the other’s opinion. It was indeed much harder to deal with someone like Lance Reid than a snob like Chelsea Olson. Considering that he and Yujin were the only newcomers among the main cast, it wouldn’t be hard to reach the conclusion that they would be the target for this actor. Well, not like he would let him. No matter what the other might try, he would definitely not let that guy touch even the tip of his finger. “Don’t worry, Sister Ellis. I will be careful so as not to cause trouble,” he only said. Ellis nodded. There’s really nothing else she could say. She just had to make sure to be with Astrid all the way. Supporting and protecting him. After a few minutes, they finally reached the hotel. They got off the land vehicle and walked inside. Arriving at the hotel’s restaurant, they chose a table beside the floor to ceiling window. They were choosing their order from the menu when a familiar voice suddenly spoke beside their table. “Can we share a table?” Both looked up and saw Yujin smiling, followed by his agent with a deadpan expression on her face. As if she couldn’t understand what the hell was her artist doing. Astrid smiled back at Yujin. “Sure.” He turned to Ellis. “It’s okay, right Sister Ellis?” Ellis glanced at Carmine before grinning. “Of course.”
