When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 111

"Arthur?" Josephine was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"

Even as she asked, her mind was already racing with several possible reasons. Maybe, as a professional cinematographer, he wanted to be involved in the casting process from the start to find inspiration for the shoot. Or perhaps he was just being meticulous, making sure everything was handled fairly.

However, he casually rocked in his chair and said, "I came with a friend who's auditioning. He was feeling a little nervous, so he asked me to come along to help him relax."

"Your friend?" Her eyes lit up. "Ethan?"

Arthur grinned. "Oh, you call him Ethan now? Nice, things are going way better than I thought."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Josephine was puzzled. "Wait... Did you just say Ethan's nervous?"

He smirked. "He's not just nervous; he's very nervous."

Really? No wonder he'd been sitting there so stiffly earlier, looking like a perfectly sculpted statue. She had assumed he was just keeping a low profile to avoid drawing attention, but it turned out he was nervous.

However, she was still perplexed. "He doesn't seem like the type to get nervous."

Arthur's smirk deepened. "Yeah, he's not usually nervous. I've known him forever, and I've never seen him nervous. But here he is, tense as hell. Strange, huh?"

"It is strange." Josephine was genuinely puzzled. With his skills and their relationship, his chances of landing the lead role were practically guaranteed. So, why was he so nervous?

Arthur suddenly burst into laughter. "It is oh so strange! Ever since—" He stopped mid-sentence and laughed even harder. "He's just been getting weirder and weirder. But you know what? I like it. It's entertaining as hell!"

Josephine, along with the three assistant directors, turned to look at him like he had completely lost his mind. Their collective expressions screamed, "You're nuts."
