The man’s expression was wintry as he stared down at Floretta, whose hand he was holding.

Her face was lined with anxiety as she shook his arm in hopes that he’d come up with a solution soon.

Angeline and Jacob were still busy filming on set.

Angeline’s acting skills in creating romantic tension were so convincing that even the director and staff were on the edge of their seats.

Jacob was blushing all the way to the tips of his ears as he thoroughly enjoyed the feel of Angeline’s hand on his chest.

At the thought, Jacob was filled with even more anticipation for the scene. With a flex of his powerful arms, he broke free from the ropes tying him down.

Jacob’s handsome face was carved in stone as he scoffed and kept walking toward Angeline until she was backed up against the wall.

“Do you think a flimsy coil of rope will be enough to subdue me?” His grip on her chin was firm as he gazed into her eyes derisively.

“General, please behave yourself!” Angeline uttered uneasily.
