Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted-Chapter 81: Commercial Shoot

Amber was furious because it was the first time her best friend had treated her so coldly. Previously, when her best friend was busy, she would always make time to chat with her. Now, her best friend was clearly rejecting her, claiming she was in a meeting. Even though it was already nighttime here, and the time difference between the country her friend was visiting and this one was quite significant, Amber shouldn’t have minded it. She should be the one resting, having worked herself to the bone today.

She couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. She had previously asked her assistant to investigate Matthias’s whereabouts, leaving her without warning. She bit her lip as she contacted her assistant.

"Do you know where Matthias went?"

"I heard he went to Guam. I asked one of my acquaintances who works at T&H Real Estate."

"What?! Why did he go there?"

"I don’t know the details. But, it seems like he’s on vacation."

Remembering the country she’d discussed with Chris, Amber screamed and threw her phone on the bed. She became even more frantic at the thought of Matthias secretly vacationing with Victoria. She remembered that Chris’s company’s latest product commercial was being filmed in Guam. She was certain Matthias was traveling there solely to see Victoria.

"Matthias is truly shameless! I’ve given him so much, yet he’s secretly stabbed me in the back!"

"So, are you going to follow him to Guam?"

"No. I can’t go after him because it would seem like I’m forcing him. Besides, I’ve been busy lately."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I’ll think about it first. I think I need to plan this more carefully so my plan doesn’t fail again."

Meanwhile, the husband and wife were preparing to depart for the coastal filming location, which required a boat ride across the ocean. They weren’t wearing sexy clothes, thanks to Matthias’s suggestion, which persuaded Chris to change the script. He felt more comfortable filming with his wife in more covered clothing. Her wife is wearing a beach dress bought by him.

Because they were going to shoot a commercial, Victoria didn’t wear her ring, but she still kept wearing the scarlet heart necklace which was a gift from her husband.

Gazing at his wife wearing a necklace that shone in the sunlight, a beaming smile lit up his handsome face. "You look so beautiful in the necklace I gave you."

Victoria’s cheeks flushed red. "Because I really like wearing this necklace."

"Then what about that ring? Why don’t you wear it? Haven’t you always been reluctant to take it off?"

"They think I’m already married for real. But actually, you and I are still in a contractual marriage."

"I’d prefer you take that ring off while we’re filming. Especially since you still can’t confirm who actually gave it to you."

Victoria nodded, gripping her husband’s hand tightly. "I can’t take the scarlet heart necklace off you because it means so much."

Hearing his wife’s ambiguous words, Matthias’s eyes widened. He began to suspect that his wife had completely accepted their marriage. It just took time to work up the courage to openly express her love. So far, he’s been patient. The important thing was that he could shoot a commercial with his wife.

While on set, they pretended to be business partners, even though they were actually husband and wife. They approached a group of crew members preparing to assemble filming props.

"Welcome, Mr. Matthias and Ms. Victoria. We’ve been waiting for you," said the crew leader.

"Thanks for letting me join your team, Tyson," Matthias said with a friendly smile.

"It’s truly an honor for us to see you take the initiative to join us. Moreover, your incredibly handsome face is truly a perfect fit for our advertising model compared to our previous models."

"I can’t wait to shoot my first commercial. So far, I’ve only done business magazine shoots or interviews."

"Good, actually I really want you to be a model compared to the previous model." Tyson’s eyes fell on the beautiful woman standing next to Matthias. "Miss Victoria is also very beautiful today. You guys really are a perfect match. Maybe I don’t need to bother directing you."

Now Victoria and Matthias were preparing to shoot their first scene. They walked along the beach, passing each other. With their eyes locked on each other, as they approached, Matthias took the initiative to hold his wife’s hand and flashed a beaming smile.

Even the crew members who witnessed this very natural scene firsthand were heartbroken. The female crew members looked envious as they stared at Victoria, who was being embraced affectionately by Matthias.

"Wow, Ms. Victoria is so lucky to be hugged by Mr. Matthias. I’m so jealous."

"They were rumored to be dating before, but Ms. Victoria played the role of a third party who stole Mr. Matthias from Ms. Amber."

"I think it’s more likely that Ms. Amber wants to steal Mr. Matthias from Ms. Victoria. It makes more sense that way. Just look at the way Mr. Matthias looks at Ms. Victoria, so lovingly. They look like a married couple."

"That’s right. Moreover, this was all Mr. Matthias’ idea, suddenly replacing the male model. He wanted this ad to look more natural. I think it’s a really good idea."

Meanwhile, Tyson could only shake his head at his gossiping crew. "Can you guys just focus on work? After filming is over, if you want to gossip until tomorrow, I won’t stop you."

"But, Mr. Tyson, do you really think Mr. Matthias loves Ms. Victoria?"

"From what I’ve seen, their relationship isn’t just about business partnerships. Moreover, everything they’ve been doing has been so sweet. Even when strange rumors about their relationship were circulating earlier, I even helped respond to the negative comments discreetly."

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so kind as to help strangers!"

"In fact, their overly intimate relationship must be preserved. It would be a shame if it were destroyed simply because of someone’s selfishness."
