Chapter 259 Penelope, I Got Married!

Lola trembled with hatred, she hadn't expected that even after she had gone so far, Penelope's influence on Zackary was still so strong.

She feared that Zackary would uncontrollably prevent Penelope from filming such scenes, causing her to lose face. She quickly clung to his arm and spoke first, "Yes, Weston, Zackary has been having some throat discomfort lately, he..."

"My throat is fine!" Before Lola could finish her sentence, Zackary had already cut her off, causing her face to turn incredibly embarrassed.

Unaware of Lola's embarrassment, Zackary just stared coldly at Weston, as if trying to freeze him into a block of ice.

Weston looked utterly confused. He didn't seem to have offended Mr. Zackary, had he?

He continued to speak weakly, "What is this, Mr. Zackary?"

"'Palace of Grace' is a legitimate drama, not a vulgar film," Zackary spoke calmly, his voice soft yet carrying a chilling edge. "With all the dancing and seduction, the censorship standards for TV dramas are so strict now. What, are you looking to have tea at the police station?"

Weston's small frame shuddered a few times, he really didn't want to be invited to the police station for tea.

Moreover, he felt that the scene he had set up was very aesthetic. How could it be associated with a bad movie!

But he didn't dare to say this.

Kemp, who had been standing silently by the side, also spoke up with a stern face, "We, the Hunter Group, invested in 'Palace of Grace', not for you to turn it into that kind of thing!"

Slander! It was simply slander!

Weston roared hysterically inside, he was shooting a beautiful love scene, not that kind of thing!

The two men standing before him, exuding an aura of coldness, were the bosses among bosses. He dared not express his grief and indignation in front of them.

He could only look to Everett for help, "Mr. Murray, what do you think of the scene I designed?"

"This scene can't be shot," Everett's gaze gently fell on Penelope's ankle, "Penelope's ankle is injured, she can't dance!"

Alright, Everett's words completely extinguished that last little spark in Weston's heart.

Penelope was taken aback, she really hadn't expected that Everett still remembered her ankle injury.

She was somewhat moved in her heart, but, he was still the man she could not afford to have.

"Ha!" Zackary's scoff grew even colder, he really hadn't expected that the unattainable Mr. Murray would be so attentive in front of a woman!

Look, that woman, she was a person without principles, fickle as water.

Did she want to devote herself just because Everett showed her a bit of concern?!

So disgusting!

"Hmph!" Zackary was so angry that he felt uncomfortable all over. Seeing Weston demanding Penelope and Everett to reshoot the scenes of the forceful kiss, the forceful push, and the forceful slap, he was even more irritable, almost to the point of exploding.

Angered, he abruptly let go of Lola and left Gogwood.

Weston really didn't understand why Zackary kept scoffing like this. Could it be that "scoff" was the new trendy phrase of the year?

Weston thought so, and couldn't help but let out a "huh".

After the "cut", Weston quickly called for the camera crew and other staff to get back to work. He gestured to Penelope, "Yes, Penelope, continue filming from where you just had Mr. Murray pinned on the bed!"

Penelope knew, the more obstinate she was, the more retakes there would be, and the more awkward it would become between her and Everett.

Better to fully commit and pass at once.

Penelope took a deep breath and slipped into character in a second.

Her smile was enchanting as a flower, she easily pushed Everett onto the bed, like a fairy.

Everett turned passivity into action, going completely mad.

The curtain slowly fell, and it took Weston several seconds before he gently called out, "Cut!"

Upon hearing Weston's voice, Penelope hurriedly crawled out from behind the curtain. Both she and Everett were fully clothed. In fact, aside from a kiss, they hadn't really done anything. However, when she met his deep gaze, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

So, when it was time to remove her makeup in the dressing room, she was too embarrassed to be with Everett.

She had originally planned to take a taxi back to her small apartment after shooting this scene. However, as soon as she came out of the makeup room, she saw Everett's Rolls-Royce.

"Penelope, I took you home!"

Just as Penelope was about to say it wasn't necessary, Everett had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for her.

Alright, he was so gentlemanly that she couldn't help but get in the car.

Everett didn't speak, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward, especially since they had just filmed such an explosive scene together.

Penelope tried to make small talk, hoping to lighten the mood a bit, "Mr. Murray, I didn't expect you to have a hobby in acting, it's quite surprising!"

"Penelope, I don't like acting," Everett said nonchalantly.

"Huh?" Penelope was confused. He, the busy CEO who didn't like acting, why would he come to the set for a cameo instead of resting properly at night?

"Penelope, I came to shoot this scene, only because, the person I'm acting with, is you!"

Penelope, "..."

She shouldn't have made small talk, why did she now feel the atmosphere in the car was even more awkward?

To avoid further embarrassment, Penelope wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.

But Everett suddenly opened up, he turned his face, looking at Penelope with a meaningful gaze, "Penelope, the feeling just now, was quite nice."

Penelope paused, then in an instant, she understood. He was referring to the feeling they had when they were filming that impure scene just now.

Penelope's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. She was thin-skinned and really couldn't manage to discuss such impure scenes as casually as Everett did.

However, poor senior assistant Dawson, who was driving in front, was directly scared silly by his boss's corny love words.

Who would have thought that the usually aloof and heartless boss could also utter such cringeworthy and cheesy pick-up lines!

He weakly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and in his excitement, he almost drove the luxury car worth millions into a nearby stinky ditch.

Fortunately, Gogwood was not too far from Penelope's small apartment, so the unbearable awkwardness did not last too long. As soon as they arrived downstairs, she quickly got out of the car and rushed upstairs, fearing that Everett would suggest going up for a visit, or wanting to have dinner with her.

She briskly walked up to the door of the small apartment, opened it, and was just about to look for something to fill her grumbling stomach when she saw Zackary, sitting on the living room couch with a dark expression on his face.

Yes, she had forgotten to ask for the spare key to the small apartment back.

"Penelope, did Everett make you feel good?!"

Penelope was quite speechless at Zackary's words. She didn't want to waste her breath on him. She swung the door wide open, "Mr. Spencer, whether I'm happy or not, it seems I don't need to report to you!"

"If you came over today just to ask me this question, Mr. Spencer, I must say, you are really boring!"

"Penelope, I married Lola on the eighteenth of next month!"
