Chapter: 532
"Tyler, you're done for now, and you can take a two-week break. After the show airs, you'll return to film the finale based on audience feedback."
"Understood, Mr. Salazar. I appreciate your guidance during this time. I've learned a lot." Initially, Francis had been tough on him, but eventually, he promised to teach Tyler how to act, and he genuinely did, which was indisputable.
Francis admired Tyler's humility, and his smile grew wider.
"That's my responsibility. If there's another opportunity, we can collaborate again."
“We definitely will."
After some more conversation, Francis was called away, and Tyler headed back to the dressing room to find Ariana.
In the meantime, Ariana was busy playing a game on her phone.
“Ariana, I've wrapped up my part. What do you have planned for later?" Tyler donned his coat and wiped away any remaining eyeliner with a makeup remover towel.
Ariana set her phone down and placed a hat on his head after he'd removed his makeup.
“How about we go shopping and enjoy a nice meal this afternoon!"
Beside the film and television center was an amusement park and a food street.
Ariana researched several popular gourmet restaurants online and finally settled on a Naples cuisine restaurant. They indulged in a feast at the chosen establishment.
Lately, Tyler had lost a considerable amount of weight during production. Ariana seized the chance to replenish his nutrients. As a growing young man, nutrition was more important than maintaining a slim figure.
At first, they dined at the restaurant, but later, they snacked at a roadside food stand.
‘They strolled around before heading to the amusement park.
Ariana couldn't recall the last time she visited an amusement park. It seemed to be on her seventh birthday, when her mother, who wasn't ill yet, had taken her.
Ariana realized that she was on the brink of an emotional spiral, so she quickly tried to clear her mind. Spotting a variety of headbands on display, she grabbed Tyler and pulled him over to take a look.
Selecting a devil's horn headband, she placed it on Tyler's head. With a pleased nod, she remarked, "Maybe I can find you some villainous roles in the future."
“These two characters are quite rebellious. One is a haughty rich kid, and the other is a criminal who killed his first love by accident." Tyler remained still, muttering like a compliant child, allowing Ariana to adorn him with the headband.
"They are not really villains in my eyes. Perhaps you can land roles where you kill people without batting an eye," Ariana responded while pulling him forward.
