Lustful Paradise

"I have to admit, that's pretty sexy," Vanessa said with a teasing smile, pulling back from his irresistible charm. "Since you're acting with me for the reshoot, maybe you should show off some of those qualities on camera. I'm sure the audience will love it."

Then she smirked and added, "Especially in that intimate scene, where you'll be advising me on my love life while seducing me."

Lucifer just grinned in return after listening to her comment regarding the scene where their characters would get intimate on-screen. "Don't worry. There's no way I'll disappoint viewers' expectations of making you melt under my touch or fail to deliver a good performance during this shoot."

His words made Vanessa's heart skip a beat, imagining how hot that particular scene would be when filmed and shown to the audiences. "Then let's hope we both can give each other some passionate performances once our camera starts rolling."

The car drove steadily through winding roads until reaching a wide path leading up towards a big, beautiful mansion built atop the hillside.

Once their vehicle stopped at its entrance, the driver got off his seat, opened the door for Vanessa first, and then Lucifer stepped out too.

Lucifer couldn't help but look at the surroundings of the luxurious building. There were a few crew members present, all busy setting up things to record their shots, and some staff were running about taking care of various things.

As he looked around the area, he noticed there were several luxurious cars parked within the premises of this place, and a few more people were scattered across different spots.

Vanessa then called him out of his thoughts when she nudged him from beside and pointed toward the main entrance of the house, saying that they should go meet director James and writer Amanda, who had been waiting to receive them inside.

When Lucifer entered the lobby, the first thing that caught his attention was a beautiful chandelier hanging overhead, illuminating everything beneath it brilliantly.

There was an elegant staircase going up in the center of the lobby that led upstairs. Several hallways also branched out from either side of this lobby, connecting other rooms within the building.

Everything looked classy yet expensive, with paintings adorning the walls and sculptures placed here and there throughout the room to complement the entire setup. It felt like the ideal setting for a billionaire businesswoman's home in a show like this.

"Pretty extravagant, isn't it?" Vanessa asked, noticing the mesmerized expression on his face. "Mr. David rented this place from a business tycoon from Moonlake City. Now let's go. They are waiting for us."

"Sure." With a nod, Lucifer followed her through the hallway until they came into one of the living rooms inside the mansion.

Director James and writer Amanda were already there, sitting next to a large fireplace on the other end of the room, engaged in a deep conversation.

Both of them had a few books stacked on top of a coffee table next to their seats. There were several pieces of paper scattered around, along with writing materials such as pens and markers.

They both seemed to be having a serious discussion about something important regarding the scene, and they didn't even notice Lucifer or Vanessa's arrival until the actress cleared her throat loudly to get their attention.

Amanda was the first to react to the sound and greet them.

"Welcome, Mr. Lucifer! You must have come here after a long flight, so please take a seat and relax." She said as she motioned towards the empty couch beside her and James.

James then added, "Indeed. Make yourself comfortable. At the same time, I hope you mind if we start our briefing on your scenes with Vanessa right now. Time is scarce, and the reshoot has to happen the day after tomorrow. After that, there is also editing and all the post-shoot things that need to be completed before the release."

"It's alright; let's start right away." Lucifer nodded. "I have rested enough during my trip from Sunspring City, so no worries." Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

"That's great. And as you can see here, we've already prepared everything. We just need you to sit here and listen to the explanation of the way we need you to act in the reshoot." James explained, "Then you need to remember the dialogues and actions. After that, you may practice the whole scene with Vanessa tomorrow. However, considering it's your first time acting, I understand it won't be easy to get everything perfect in a day. That's why we will help you in every way possible so that you get what you're supposed to do exactly how the scene has been written. You will have us by your side throughout this process, guiding you whenever needed."

After that, Amanda and James took turns describing what happened in previous episodes to lead up to the scene, how the plot was altered, how everything fit together, and how the new changes were going to work with Lucifer's inclusion into the storyline.

They didn't miss out on the most minute details and gave him a very comprehensive view of the changes.

As for Lucifer, despite his inexperience in acting, he understood everything the way they wanted the whole thing to play out. He didn't have any trouble following their words or remembering any details whatsoever.

It wasn't like his character had a big backstory or something... It was a short role as a guest appearance in the episode, so there was nothing complicated to learn about the plot.

Everything was simple and straightforward, with a little spice of sexuality sprinkled all over the scene, making the entire scene rather hot and steamy in its own way.

His character's persona was exactly like him in real life, making it a lot easier to get into the role and understand what he was supposed to do and say to deliver the performance required.

After the briefing, they had dinner together before Lucifer was asked to remember his dialogues for the rehearsal tomorrow.
