Karen and Jay were so focused on what they were doing, that neither woman had noticed Mina or Director Porter watching from a distance. Mina took the opportunity to figure out what was going on, and her boss told her that it was normal for actresses to hire photographers that took pictures behind the scenes.
Mina had always thought that behind the scenes photos were semi candid, but she was once again witnessing firsthand that not everything was as it seemed.
Apparently, actors and actresses were not allowed to take photos that were not part of the film promotions. They could, however, take their own pictures, but they had to be careful not to show any of the props or even the set.
Mina was still listening when director Porter started to make his way toward the busy women. She matched his pace as she took in all the new details.
"Director!" Karen said excitedly, while Jay flashed a flirtatious smile at the man and winked without words.
