Welcome to the second part of the book a.k.a the LDR phase 🤣 I'm just kidding but anyway we're going to see more of Valentine's actress life here and the season's about to start soon as well.

Enjoy!

"Tomorrow's flight is at four in the morning and that takes about twelve hours. From the airport, we're heading straight to the set to meet with a few of the cast and crew and straight to dinner with the director and main cast." Olivia listed off as she helped me pack inside my room.

I arrived back in Los Angeles two weeks ago and immediately went into combat training after two days. My time was mostly filled with personal workouts in the morning, script reading or promotional work afterwards, and combat training in the afternoon. By the time I get back home, I'd be so drained that I'd fall asleep right after taking a shower.

My parents had to go back to France the same time I got home but we were meeting for dinner tonight before I leave. I wasn't even planning on sleeping anymore because of the early flight so I'll just do it on the plane.

"And then I start shooting the next day?" I asked, hoping that the answer was no and thankfully it was.

Olivia shook her head before passing me the tablet which held the projected schedule of the filming. "It's mostly Milo's scenes first and then you and Elliana would follow the next day."

Milo Theodore Ford is an American actor that was known for being a part of action films. He got his big break when he was casted as a supporting role in Daniel Craig's last Bond movie. I've only met him twice for the two screen tests we had and he was perfect for the role. The movie was a mix of both sci-fi and fantasy, so our combat training would sometimes involve wearing harnasses.

As for Elliana, she was a childhood friend of mine and probably the closest one I had in the film industry. Her parents were friends with mine so whenever there were gatherings, we'd be together. When I got back from Italy, we met up for a casual dinner downtown and she told me how nice and easy it is to get along with Milo. They've already spent a lot of time together during the start of the year which helped since the three of us would be doing a lot of scenes together.

I finished packing my clothes and essentials, filling up two suitcases for the two and a half months I'll be spending in Hungary. If ever I run out of clothes, I could just do some emergency shopping there but I doubt that'd happen.

I had to leave for dinner in an hour so I quickly took a shower before sitting in front of my vanity mirror. I didn't need to find an outfit to wear since Olivia has already done that. Brands would send over clothes for me to be seen wearing so I rarely went shopping for myself. I'd keep the staples while as for the others, I'd either give them away or ask Olivia to auction them off.

Simplicity was the look for tonight since it was only dinner with my parents. To match my outfit, I only put on some concealer to hide my dark eyes and a lipstick shade that wasn't that far from the actual color of my lips. Olivia had laid out a matching beige linen set and a white ribbed strapless top underneath. She didn't bring out any shoes yet so I just grabbed some nude heels that were low enough for me to survive the night without my feet aching.
