Chapter 139The director opened his mouth wanting to say something, but uttered only two words, “I’m impressed.”
He was in awe! Faced with an ambassador like Arielle who could easily transform into any roles, he felt
blessed to have found such a rare gem. Arielle had no clue what the two men had spoken about. She
approached the director and asked, “I’ve gone through the script. We can start now.” Recollected
himself, the director scrutinized Arielle and gave her an approving nod. “All right, let’s roll the camera!”
He became so motivated and energetic as he strongly believed that the commercial would undoubtedly
send the entire nation into a frenzy.
It might even gain unimaginable popularity globally too. As the director of the commercial, he felt
extremely honored. Within an hour, all of the shoots were carried out successfully. While everyone was
busy changing the set, Arielle treaded the office floors leisurely, pretending that she was touring
around. In actual fact, she was examining every nook and cranny. Henrick was very thrifty. Ever since
the day he took over Moore Group and developed it into Southall Group, the internal decorations still
remained the same.
To Arielle, that was a good news. Without any renovation, no one would’ve discovered the secret
compartment. She made a big round around the office and finally stopped in front of a safety deposit
box. If I’m not mistaken, it’ll automatically open once the correct passcode is keyed in. When the safety
deposit box has unlocked, key in the passcode one more time, and the switch controlling the access to
the secret compartment will appear. She stared intensely at the safe. I’ll return when no one is
around. She had a hunch that something inside the safe was what she needed.
While she was trying hard to recall the passcode, a voice questioned her abruptly, “What are you
looking at?” Startled, she shook her head. “Nothing…” Vinson took a glance at the safety deposit box,
knowing that Arielle did not tell him the truth. Anyhow, he did not query her. Who doesn’t have any
secrets? He did not intent to pry into her privacy, likewise, he hoped no one would do the same to himtoo. Vinson retracted his gaze from the safe and said, “If you’re ready, let’s get to the next filming set,
the lobby at the ground floor. All of the employees present today will be included as extras.
noveldramaAll of you will be required to hold a cup of Soir Coffee and walk around the lobby.” “Okay, noted.”
Nodding, Arielle exited the office. When the filming is over, I’ll find an excuse to come up here again. At
that time, there should be no one in the office and it’s the best time to access the secret
compartment. The group then went to the lobby together. Around fifty to sixty of the employees who
clocked in on that day had already gathered there.
When the director was giving instructions to the extras, a thunderous explosion was heard from
upstairs. Bomb! The ground started shaking and everyone jumped out of their skin. “It’s rattling! Is it an
earthquake?” “No, that’s not it. It seems like something has exploded upstairs!” “It’s an explosion! I can
smell the smoke. Run for your life, everyone!” Someone initiated a panic-stricken response and
triggered everyone else to dash toward the exit and flee from danger.
Unfortunately, Arielle was in the dressing room and did not know what happened outside. The make-up
artist said calmly, “I think the director has arranged for some fireworks.” Right when he finished his
sentenced, the makeshift door was kicked open. Thud!
