My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1799
Thus, whenever there was free time, Nicole would observe how others shot their scenes. Another advantage was that her acting
skills as an undercover agent were top-notch.
Upon receiving Nicole's praise, Lloyd flashed a slight smile. "You're too kind. As a newcomer, your acting is on par with mine,
and everyone admires it."
"Thanks for the encouragement," Nicole modestly replied, shaking her head.
Lloyd did not say much more, choosing to gaze at Nicole fondly instead. He had been feeling a little frustrated, but after not
seeing her for a day, he missed her terribly and could not help but strike up a conversation.
Fortunately for him, Nicole was gracious and had not held anything against him. With that thought, he felt more at ease.
Soon, the two began rehearsing their lines, and after a few regular scenes, they moved on to a breakup scene. Unexpectedly, as
Nicole was turning to leave, Lloyd suddenly grabbed her, taking her aback. Due to Jared's pressure, the production team had
already changed their scenes, limiting their physical contact to hand-holding. But then, Lloyd had altered the scene today by
embracing her.
Nicole wanted to resist, but the cameras were still rolling and nobody seemed to want to stop.
Therefore, she gritted her teeth and kept acting. "Let me go."
In return, Lloyd held her tighter. "No, I can't lose you. Wendy, I misunderstood you. Please forgive me one last time."

As he uttered the lines, his grip tightened, and his heart pounded. It was the first time he had held Nicole so passionately from
behind, inhaling her scent and feeling her soft body. His longing was overwhelming, stirring restless emotions within.
It was then that Nicole lost her patience and forcefully broke free from Lloyd's grasp. "Let me go! I will never forgive you!"
Lloyd hesitated, feeling taken aback. They had been partners before, and he knew Nicole's capabilities surpassed his own.
In spite of this, he had no choice but to continue acting. "Do you really hate me that much?"
Seeing that everyone was carrying on, Nicole had no choice but to continue as well. "Yes, and it's impossible. Never again."
With that, she turned and walked away.
"Cut!" Nachelle yelled, ending the scene.
Nicole stopped in her tracks, exhaling with relief. She initially thought that Nachelle would question Lloyd about the change to the
script, but instead, Nachelle praised them.
"That was great. It should be performed like that. Some emotional scenes had been limited due to certain reasons. This scene
was supposed to be this way, full of emotion," Nachelle said.
Nachelle's words stopped Nicole from voicing her concerns. It seemed that the original script had featured this scene, and that
Jared had removed it. She was disgusted by the feeling, wondering why they had to follow the original script for a scene that had
already been cut. However, everyone else seemed to accept it, moving on to prepare for the next shoot already.
With that, she had no choice but to endure it for now. After all, it was just a hug, which was something common in TV dramas.
Still, the thought of being held by Lloyd made her inexplicably uncomfortable.
