    “That’s enough,” Caspian told his manager. “Find me a quiet ce to cool off. Bradley yelled his head


    off at me just now…”


    “Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that, Caspian!” the manager consoled. “You know Bradley yells at


    everyone. Your acting just now was perfectly fine. I’m sure he was angry at something else…”


    Meanwhile, Ste was leafing through the script alone in a deserted corner. She’d been through her


    lines a few times now, trying her hardest to get into character. The problem was that none of the


    scenes that she would be filming today were emotional. On the surface, it would seem that there was


    no need to get in the zone to film these scenes, but in fact, it was mundane scenes like these that were


    the greatest test of an actor’s skills. She had to look, sound, and act natural, and couldn’t appear as


    though she was performing in front of a camera. This was no mean feat for a new actor. Soon


    afterward, Bradley was done shooting two scenes and sent his assistant over to get Ste. Her heart


    pounded with anxiety, and just as she was about to go, the assistant stopped her.


    “Just hurry up and get these scenes over with,” he whispered to her. “Guinevere Cohen will being


    soon. Her previous scenes have all been shot, and if she finds out now that one of the supporting roles


    hasn’t been filled yet, who knows how furious she’ll be!” “When is she shooting again?” Ste asked.


    “Oh, you didn’t know? She suddenly decided to show up on set, earlier than expected. She said she


    wants to see our progress, which is why Bradley’s been in a hellish mood today. If your performance


    isn’t up to par and you get fired for it, Bradley will have to scramble and find another actress to take


    your ce. We’re already in a rush as it is. We might not even make it before the Spring Film Festival


    starts. I can’t imagine how much money we’d lose if there are more dys!”


    At that point, all of the actors had been paid, especially a top actress like Guinevere, who got the


    money as soon as she finished filming. Guinevere held immense fame, status, and fortune. Although it


    was a good thing that a film had someone like that in the cast, all the pressure to perform at the box


    office was basically borne by the director, Bradley Lane, alone. Since Guinevere had an impressive


    repertoire, nobody would me her if the film ended up a flop. Instead, rumors would start about how


    washed-out of a director Bradley Lane was,


    That was mainly why Bradley had been under such intense stresstely. “If I ever decide to work with


    these superstars again, I must be the king of fools!” Ste overheard Bradley grumbling bitterly when


    she walked past him.

    He had initially chosen to cast Guinevere in this film because he’d been impressed with her acting in


    previous films. Little did he know how fastidious and demanding she was!


    Bradley himself had always been a scrupulous man who was hard to please, so him and Guinevere


    working together was like a sh of titans. The assistant was quite fond of Ste, so he felt the urge to


    give her a fair warning.


    "Never forget this,” he reminded her.


    “In this film set, there are two people that you must never offend: One is Bradley Lane, and the other,


    Guinevere Cohen.”


    “Okay…” Ste nodded. She had performed with Caspian once, so even if they didn’t rehearse


    together just now, she’d gained enough experience to make great improvements the second time


    around. As the performance was going well, Bradley’s expressions warmed up considerably too.


    The shooting went on till noon. Ste managed to get through it rather swimmingly. She didn’t have any


    more scenes to shoot in the afternoon, so Bradley sent her home and told her to get a good rest and


    get ready because there would be more shooting the next day. It just so happened that Ste had one


    Yvonne was quite busy that day, so she would only be thereter in the afternoon. Ste had just


    changed her clothes when she bumped into Joyce Duxton.


    “Oh… do you still have a ss today?” Joyce asked, her eyes looking very shifty. Ste merely nodded


    and walked into the dancing ssroom, not bothering to talk to Joyce.


    “You arrogant b***h!” Joyce hissed through gritted teeth once Ste was gone. “I can’t wait to see that


    smug look getting wiped off of your face!”
