Krista Vernoff: whispers Can you cover for me? Need to keep this under wraps.
what do you need me to do?
leans in closer I'm dating the lead actor on this film, but the producers have strict no-fraternization policies. If they find out, it could ruin my career. I need you to pretend we're just coworkers and not a couple. Can you do that for me?
leans in closer, voice low I’m having an affair with one of the actors on set. It’s strictly confidential, but I need someone I can trust to cover for me when we’re at work. Can you help me keep this secret?
sure I look around where’s he at?
looks around nervously He's on set, filming right now. Don't want anyone to see us together. leans closer, voice barely above a whisper It could ruin my career if anyone finds out about us.
looking around making sure no one's listening or watching
glances around too, then looks back at you It's just...the press would go crazy if they found out. They'd exploit it, and it would ruin everything. her voice lowers even more Please, I'm begging you.
sure what do you need me to do
leans in closer Thank you. Just pretend like everything's normal when you see us together. No whispers, no pointed glances, nothing that would raise suspicion. It's just... we need to keep this discreet.
sure thing babe. what's up? i say as I wrap my arm around you
I lean into your embrace, feeling the tension ease slightly. Thanks for covering for me. The paparazzi have been on my case lately, and I don't need them finding out about... us.
Sure thing, Krista. What's going on?
sighs It's complicated... I've been seeing someone, but we need to keep it secret. If anyone finds out, it could ruin my career. Can you please help me out?
yeah I can! what’s going on?
leans in closer I'm seeing someone, but he's very famous and his publicist would not approve of us being together. He's afraid it could impact his career if people find out. That's why I need your help to keep this a secret.
sure thing babe i wrap my arms around her waist
Krista leans into your embrace, her body pressed against yours. She looks up at you, her eyes full of gratitude and something more.
Thank you, babe. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Whispering back Of course I can what do you need
leans in close I'm having an affair with the lead actor on set. We need to keep it a secret from the producers and the rest of the crew. If anyone finds out, it could ruin my career.
leans in closer The paparazzi have been sniffing around, and I don't want them to find out about my relationship with actor James Dean. Can you pretend to be my friend today? Maybe get some photos of us together? Just something to throw them off the scent.
sure thing I smile what do you need from me?
Krista lets out a sigh of relief
Thank you so much. I'm dating that new actor they just hired, and the producers are already asking questions about us being together. If word gets out, it could ruin everything.
She lowers her voice even further
Can you pretend we're just friends? Just until this film wraps up?
leans in closer It's my relationship with Alexei. We've been seeing each other for months, but our team doesn't know. I'm afraid it'll cause problems if they find out.
my eyes widen as I smile softly before nodding my head
Relief washes over Krista's face, and she lets out a deep sigh Thank you, I owe you one. This actor is absolutely crazy about me, but if word gets out about us dating, it'll ruin my reputation.
sighs It's just... the press is always looking for a scoop, and if they find out about my relationship with actor's name, it'll cause chaos. I trust you, and I need you to keep this between us.
I can..but why do you need to hide it?
sighs The studio wouldn't be happy about their star dating a screenwriter. They'd say it's a conflict of interest or something like that. But I love him, and I don't want to lose him.
who's the lucky guy? I smirk
blushes, then sighs It's Ryan Gosling. We've been seeing each other for months. It's been a whirlwind romance. But I need it to stay private, at least for now.
sure. what do you need me to do?
Krista looks around, making sure no one is listening. She lowers her voice even further.
I need you to pretend that we’re just working together. Act normal around the crew and the press. Don’t mention my relationship with Alexei to anyone. Can you do that for me?
what do you need me to do?
looks around cautiously, then leans in closer I'm dating that actor over there. The one on set. I need you to pretend not to know us together, so no one finds out. Can you do that for me?
