“Can’t you two use some creative positioning instead?” Elspeth asked in puzzlement.

Yelena rolled her eyes. “I wish we could, but Blake wouldn’t do it no matter what, saying he would easily reject me if we got too close.”

Blake is so chaste, huh… Wait a minute, is he really that chaste? Elspeth suddenly recalled the warm and passionate kiss Blake had planted on her forehead at his concert last time, which surprised her inwardly.

Yelena blinked her eyes with a groveling expression. “Elspeth, can you help me talk him into doing it? You and Blake are close, after all.”

“I got it. I’ll go to him in a moment.”

Keeping her promise, Elspeth went to Blake shortly after that.

Blake was sitting by the lake to keep his mind off things. When he saw Elspeth come over, his face turned red. “What’s the matter?”

“I heard you’re gonna do a kissing scene with Yelena?”

Blake nodded. “Yeah, but I don’t feel like doing it.”

Elspeth didn’t know how to persuade the man into doing it either. After all, anyone would feel nervous and ill at ease at having to kiss a stranger whom they didn’t know very well. She said, “Blake, such a day will come sooner or later. You’re an actor, you know.”

Blake hung his head. “But I don’t feel like doing it for the time being.” He still had a complex that he had yet to overcome. The smiling young lady with wavy hair was still standing in his memory, making him unable to make up his mind no matter what.

“Can you tell me the reason for that?”

Blake stared at Elspeth’s face. His lips parted, and he almost blurted out what was on his mind; he wanted to tell her the truth. However, before he could say anything, Timothy suddenly ran toward them in a great hurry. Seeing that both of them were present, he heaved a sigh of relief, but he still sounded anxious. “Bad news, Elspeth! Someone just came down with food poisoning!”
