    Chapter 295


    With neither inspiring the other, the acting came out hackneyed.


    Caspian and Ste just stood there like robots once they’d said all their lines. They were both at a loss


    of what to do.


    Bradley kept the camera rolling while he stared coldly at the monitor. Ste kept pinching herself out of


    nervousness. Her face was gradually turning red. She knew that her performance was nothing less


    than terrible, yet Bradley just wouldn’t stop filming, inexplicably prolonging this scene. Each passing


    second felt like fresh torture to her.


    After what felt like forever to Ste, Bradley massaged his temples and finally yelled, “Cut!”


    Ste’s shoulders rxed instantly, as if a weight had been lifted off of her. She looked at the camera


    and saw Bradley sternly gesturing for them to go to him.


    “Get over here!” he shouted.


    It was obvious at a nce that they were about to be upbraided. Ste and Caspian slowly walked


    toward the director. Just as expected, the moment they both stopped in front of him, Bradley


    immediately started bellowing “Are you both corpses?! What were you doing just standing there? Even


    school children show more emotions while reciting texts than your stiff masquerade! You!”


    He pointed at Ste.


    “Didn’t you tell me that you’ve memorized all your lines?! You’ve been doing pretty well off camera, so


    why did you stutter so much during filming?”


    He paused and turned to Caspian. “And you! You’re supposed to be the more experienced actor here!


    You’ve been in so many films now! Why were you so off with your positioning?! I didn’t even see you on


    camera at all! How could you still be making such a rookie mistake?!” “Sorry, Director Yates…” “I’m so


    sorry, Director…” Both Caspian and Ste admitted their mistakes humbly, but Bradley was so angry


    that he couldn’t even look at them.


    “D*mn it all to hell! We’ll shoot the next scene for now! As for you both, just get out of my sight! Come


    back once I’m done shooting these scenes. If you’re still as lousy as you were back there, then just


    pack up your things and leave before I beat your *ss!”


    Caspian was used to Bradley’s explosive temper. He knew that Bradley liked to threaten to fire people


    when he got angry, but he would never reallye through with it. Ste did not know any of this,


    though. Her face turned frighteningly pale at the thought of


    getting fired. She simply couldn’t allow this hard-earned opportunity to just slip through her fingers!


    Caspian sighed and walked toward his manager. Ste stared at him and summoned up all her


    courage to call out to him.


    “Caspian! Hello! Would you mind rehearsing this scene with me please?” The moment she finished her


    sentence, Caspian’s manager rushed over and blocked Ste from approaching Caspian. “Where’s


    your manager?” he asked, ring at Ste. “I, uh…” Ste was thrown off by the question. “I haven’t


    got a manager yet…” “Which scene do you want to rehearse?” the manager asked again in a


    particrly using tone.

    The manager couldn’t help but be cautious. The entertainment industry is a particrly treacherous


    one. There was no telling if this woman’s intentions were pure. She could be attempting a free ride to


    stardom on Caspian’s coattails and that would be troublesome. Everyone in the industry had their own


    way of making it in this field. For Caspian, what worked best for him was to dedicate all his energy on


    the work itself while keeping a low profile. Ever since his debut many years ago, he had yet to be


    involved in any scandals, especially not with any other actresses. This had been possible because he’d


    always kept a healthy distance from his co-stars. But Ste knew nothing of this industry’s twists and


    turns. She was stunned by the manager’s reaction. She assumed that her performance earlier must’ve


    been so terrible that it affected Caspian


    “I’m sorry,” she quickly said. “I didn’t mean to disturb you. I’ll just go rehearse on my own.”


    She then turned and left.


    The manager snickered.


    “Don’t think that you can fool me with that pure and innocent look!” he sneered. “I’ve seen enough


    women like you to know what you really want!”
