Without a word, she curled her finger at him, motioning for him to come closer, subtle, sharp, and hidden from the crew's eyes.
Jackson's eyes lit up instantly.
His whole face brightened as he straightened his jacket, smoothed his hair, and walked toward her quickly like a puppy being called. His heart was practically jumping in his chest. Is she… is she finally into me??
Lilith pulled him behind a lighting curtain, making sure no one saw them.
Jackson gave her a smile. "So… you called me?"
He straightened up, excitement all over his face. she's really—
Thud.
Her fist slammed into his stomach, not too hard but enough to knock the air out of him. Jackson doubled slightly, eyes wide in shock.
Before he could say a word, Lilith leaned in, her voice low and sharp.
"Dare to wink at me again," she said without blinking, "and I won't think you're an actor—I'll punch your face on camera."
