Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh gripped the script in her hands tightly. Only after a while did she come back to her senses. She never even thought that the female lead for the drama would be her sister, Selena.

Through the camera, it was evident that Selena had also spotted her. After staring for less than half a second, she quickly recovered. She recited her lines and acted along with the supporting actor.

After all, she was a professional actress who was extremely skilled at her art.

“Okay, cut.” The director raised his hand and signaled for the camera to stop filming. “Selena, that was a good take. We need to add another scene later. Everyone, we need to move on. Please prepare for the next scene, then take a break.”

The makeup artist immediately walked to Selena for a touchup, but she waved her away and headed straight for Everleigh.

Everleigh’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Why are you here?” Selena looked at her and asked unpleasantly.

Before Everleigh could speak, the staff member shot them both a glance and asked hesitantly, “Selena, do you know Dr. Trevino? Dr. Trevino is the medical consultant for our drama.”

“Medical consultant?” Selena frowned and stared at the ID on Everleigh’s chest. “You do keep haunting me.”

As soon as she said that, everyone around them looked at each other anxiously. It was obvious they didn’t just know each other. In fact, it looked like they were enemies.

Everleigh frowned slightly. “I didn’t know beforehand that you were the female lead. I just got the script.”

“Now that you know it, can you leave?”

“No, I won’t.”

Hearing this, Selena’s face fell.

Everleigh looked at her calmly and said, “This is my job. If you can’t accept it, you can ask the crew to replace me, but I have no reason to leave.”

“You… ”

Selena’s face started to flush red, but she could not get angry because people surrounded them. She gritted her teeth and endured it. “Well, I’d like to see how dedicated you are, Dr. Trevino.”

With that, she left.

Everleigh frowned and thought to herself, “You think I want to work with you?! You’re not the only one who’s mad!”

If she had known that Selena was in this drama, she would never have accepted the job. Her sister had been narrow-minded since they were young. Judging by the chaos she caused at the banquet, it was obvious that she didn’t like Everleigh. Both of them working together would only bring trouble.

However, she had already accepted the job. If she suddenly told Mr. Lawson that she wanted to quit, there would be no more hope for her to return to the hospital.

“Dr. Trevino.” The staff member’s low voice rang out from beside her, “Do you know Selena?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re both Trevinos. Are you sisters?”

Everleigh came to her senses and didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked, in a calm manner, “Have you heard Selena mention any siblings?”

Selena’s profile stated clearly that she was a single child. Over the years, she had never once mentioned that she had any siblings in any interviews. Her fans knew this very well.

Seven years. She had left for far too long. There wouldn’t be any trace of her existence in the Trevino family right now.

The staff member scratched his head, feeling puzzled. “Then, you and Selena are…”

“We’re just acquaintances.” Everleigh glanced at him. “No matter what, I’ll do my job.”

He replied with embarrassment, “Yes, we have faith in your professionalism.”

They were just afraid that Selena would cause trouble. There wasn’t a single person in that industry who wasn’t familiar with her diva-like temper.

The morning passed peacefully. The next scene after lunch was in the operating room.

The doctor played by Selena needed to do a heart bypass surgery. Naturally, the actual operation wouldn’t be taking place, but they would use some medical jargon and mimic sutures.

Everleigh demonstrated it personally with a scalpel. “Normally, the doctor will start to sweat a lot, so it would be more realistic if a nurse is helping to wipe off the sweat.”

“Yes, what we need is for it to look realistic.” The director admired Everleigh’s expertise very much and asked again, “Do you think there was anything wrong with our shoot this morning, Dr. Trevino? Or is there anything you would correct?”

Everleigh thought for a moment. Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to spot the heels on Selena’s feet.

She said seriously, “Us doctors, we never wear heels during work. We have a lot to do, and if we wore heels the entire time, our legs would be dead by the end of the day. In fact, enclosed shoes are a must in the operation room.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Selena voiced her thoughts, feeling dissatisfied. “What are you talking about? We’re shooting a drama, not seeing real patients. If we were to follow everything you say, then how are we going to continue production? Do you expect us to refilm from the start?”

“Yes, we will do that.” The director’s serious voice rang out. “It was my mistake. We’ll have to reshoot any scenes that include your feet. Otherwise, I’ll have to cut it out later.”

“Huh? Reshoot? Director…” The look on Selena’s face changed instantly. “There were so many scenes before.”

The director just waved his hand in dismissal. “Let’s shoot this scene first. Go and change your shoes.”

Hearing this, Selena’s face flushed red with anger.

After filming, they took a break.

Everleigh was about to take a sip of water when she heard someone stomping towards her. “Everleigh, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Her face was purple with rage. “Who do you think you are? A professional medical consultant? If you are really that capable, why would the hospital send you here? Wouldn’t you have patients lining up for your consultations?”

Everleigh didn’t want to bicker, so she said indifferently, “If you want to continue to make a scene, go ahead. You’re the celebrity, after all. Your reputation is on the line, not mine.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Forget it. I can’t be bothered.”

“Stop right there. Where are you going?”

Everleigh muttered without looking back, “That’s all I have to do today, so I’m leaving.”

“Who allowed you to leave?”

As soon as she said that, Everleigh felt someone grab her wrist. She looked back to pull her hand away when suddenly, cold water splashed onto her head. It took her completely by surprise. The water was so cold that she trembled, staring at Selena in disbelief.

Everyone around them cried out in surprise. All the crew members were dumbfounded.

The female lead was trying to start a fight with a crew member. This would be their headline for today.

Selena slammed the cup in her hand onto the table. Looking at Everleigh’s overcast face, she said, “Did you really think that I would be cautious just because I’m a celebrity? Did you think that you could just toy with me? Everleigh, we’re no longer kids. You’re no longer the center of the universe. Not everything revolves around you.”

The ice-cold water flowed down Everleigh’s hair to the nape of her neck. The spiteful words pierced through her heart.

If she hadn’t returned, she never would have known that her sister despised her to this extent.

“You’d better get lost. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen to you in the future. But I can guarantee you, with me here, none of the crew members will be on your side.”

Everleigh clenched her fists. Suddenly, she found it hard to breathe.

Among all the whispers around them, a stern male voice emerged through the heavy atmosphere. “How arrogant of you to say that, Miss Trevino. Since when did one actress speak on behalf of the entire crew?”
