My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 44

Bulldozer Boots
A few days passed and Xavier continued to come to the set, including when they had to leave the huge castle to shoot in the forest at night. Every day, he would always come over to see Selene act. He was given automatic permission to watch the acting since he was a huge sponsor of the movie. He continuously brought Selene food, and whenever he wasn’t able to make it, he would send a food truck for her and her colleagues.

Selene was baffled when she saw the food truck. She had told him several times to not bring her food but he never listened to her. Sometimes, if he thought that wasn’t enough, he would bring flowers to her.

Selene was almost convinced that he was in love with her but immediately washed away that thought from her mind when she remembered that he was Xavier Wallace.

“Xavier is never going to give up is he?” Kace mumbled under his breath when he saw another food truck at the set.

That was the second food truck after almost two weeks.

“What is he thinking?” Selene mumbled as well.

She didn’t want to accept how her heart warmed whenever he sent her food. Even though he was busy at work, he would never forget to bring her food for the past week and a half.

‘Could it be—” Selene wondered.

Selene’s colleagues were always happy when they saw the food truck because it was sent by the great Xavier Wallace. Even some actresses who were on a diet would stop their diet just so that they would have a taste of the food he sent.

“Please, excuse me,” Kace called out to a lady who had white long hair that was tied into a ponytail. “You are Selene’s makeup artist, right? I would like to talk to you please,” he added.

Allison turned to glare at the person who was calling her. Kace was baffled by her glare but he continued.

“Can I speak to you privately please?” He requested.

Allison glanced around before she nodded. A scene was still going on and she wasn’t needed until she heard the director saying CUT through his speaker.

Both she and Kace went outside where there were little to no people who were around to hear their conversation.

“So what do you want to talk about?” Allison immediately questioned when they stopped walking, her blue eyes waiting impatiently for him to speak while a slight hint of irritation was plastered on her expression.

Once again, Kace was baffled by her expression.

She looked like he had angered her or something because that was not the same way she looked or spoke to Selene.

He had noticed her a few times since her white hair stood out the most in the crowd filled with actors and crew.

“I want to request that you thoroughly check the things that Selene uses while she’s still in the set?” He said which earned him a much deeper frown from her.

‘Did I offend her or something?’ Kace wondered.

“Why do I need to do that?” Allison asked.

Kace sighed. “It’s a long story but there might be someone out there who might hurt Selene if care isn’t taken,” he responded which ended up confusing Allison.

“Who’s out to get her? Shouldn’t we inform Director Jeunes about this if it’s that serious?” She asked but Kace shook his head.

“We can’t.”

He didn’t have an idea of how to tell her that Michelle was the one who was going to try to hurt Selene.

Xavier had informed him of what he told Michelle two weeks ago and he had been waiting for her to do something stupid. The other day, Selene had a wardrobe malfunction but it was handled immediately by Natalie.

It might have looked like a small issue but he was suspicious that Michelle was behind the wardrobe malfunction. Plus, Michelle has been too quiet lately. She continued to hang out with Selene but maintained a certain distance which got him confused because she should be doing everything in her power to try to get Selene fired from the movie.

“What do you mean by we can’t?” Allison asked him, her blue eyes holding confusion in them.

Kace stared into her eyes before he looked away.

“Please, can you do what I asked of you? You can also inform your friend, the stylist in charge of Selene’s clothes about what I told you. Please, it’s very important. The person hasn’t made any move yet and I don’t know when they will strike,” said Kace. He wouldn’t want to get a makeup artist involved in the drama that Michelle was going to create soon in the future.

Allison immediately understood. She nodded her head before turning to leave, but Kace stopped her.

“If I may ask, did I offend you in any way?” He asked.

Allison halted her steps and turned to look at Kace, shooting an eyebrow.

“Don’t you remember how you stepped on my foot without even apologizing?” She questioned him. Her question felt like lightning he’d never expected. “I understand that you may be a spoiled brat born from a rich family but I’m sure you wouldn’t lose an arm if you say sorry for what you did.”

Kace stared at her with mouth wide open.

“Eh?” That was the only sound that could come out of his mouth.

Allison gritted her teeth in annoyance before she retreated but Kace grabbed her arm to stop her.

When he realized what he did, he immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that but I’m quite confused. When did I step on your foot?”

‘He can’t even remember.’

“It was when Ms. Selene broke her ankle two weeks ago. When you rushed towards her with your bulldozer you call boots, you stepped on me and my sandals got spoiled,” she reminded.

“Eh? Bulldozer?” Kace was speechless as he stared at her as she called his black leather boots bulldozers.
