Chapter 28
When Eliza arrived at the studio, she noticed that the atmosphere inside the studio was terrifyingly
oppressive.
It seemed like the director had lost his temper and was now drinking tea angrily.
Roseane was sitting in the corner with a pale face while still holding on to the script tightly.
“What’s going on?”
Eliza approached Gilbert carefully and asked in a low voice.
“This scene is about the female lead’s internal monologue,”
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Gilbert lowered his voice. “Roseane needs to demonstrate the character’s emotional turmoil from anger,
eureka, hopelessness, and finally to revtion.” “Since Roseane couldn’t finish filming this scene
yesterday, the director gave her a day off and asked her to get some rest. However, she still couldn’t do it
today.”
Gilbert sighed helplessly, “It’s not like this is her first day of work. Roseane has been in the industry for
many years, but for her to shift betweenplex emotions in such a short period of time, it’s just too
difficult for anyone.”
Eliza pursed her lips and walked towards Roseane slowly. Then, she sat down on the chair beside her.
“Is it okay if I have a look at the script?”
Roseane was already irritated to begin with. When she saw Eliza, she was even more annoyed.
In a fit of anger, she threw the script on Eliza and said scornfully, “Take it.” She couldn’t be bothered
about Eliza’s real identity anymore.
“You’re just a stunt woman, what do you know?”
Eliza pursed her lips and skimmed through the script. After familiarizing herself with the story, she asked
Gilbert for a pen and paper.
A lot of people approached Roseane to provide words offort, but she kicked them away without
mercy.
Finally, the director came over to give her the final ultimatum. She mustplete that scene this morning
no matter what!
Despite practicing in front of the mirror numerous times, there was still something that wascking in her
performance. She snapped and smashed two mirrors at once.
“Try this.”
When Roseane was having aplete meltdown, Eliza stopped writing and smiled. “The script only
describes details about the character’s emotional change, but it doesn’t really specify why. Ibed
through the characters’ rtionship with one another and rooted out the problem. The reason the female
lead feels this particr emotion is because she thought of something that is rted to the other three
characters.”
She passed the paper over and said, “Hope this helps.”
Gilbert rolled his eyes at her. “Miss Lawson, stop making things worse.”
“Roseane is tired enough.”
Irritated, she took the paper and gave it a quick nce. All of a sudden, her eyes lit up and her mood
changed dramatically.
Why didn’t she think about that? Every character in the script was somehow interconnected to one
another!
Once again, sheposed herself and started practicing in front of the mirror.
This time, she didn’t smash the mirrors. Half an hourter, Roseane sat in front of the camera and tried
filming the scene again.
The director loved her performance and called it a wrap.
He gave Roseane a thumbs up. “You’re impressive as always! I’m amazed by your ability to shift your
mental state that easily.”
“Thank you.”
During lunchtime, Roseane brought Eliza along to a high-end restaurant just opposite Parson Media.
She smiled and looked at Eliza. “I apologize for my attitude towards you just now.”
“You’re actually very talented in this field. You can link the storyline with character development rather
easily. Given your talents, can I know why you are still working as a stunt woman in Parson Media?”
“With your looks and talents, I’m sure you’ll have no problem surviving in the entertainment industry.”
Eliza beamed while enjoying her lunch, “I don’t have any ns to be an actress. I actually enjoy
working as a stuntwoman.”
Roseane frowned. “As far as I know, a stuntwoman’s job is dangerous and people would normally avoid
it. If you’re not doing it for money, then what’s your ultimate goal?”
“I’m sure you’ll earn more as an actress.”
Eliza grinned sheepishly. “I have a dark history that I don’t want other people to know about. If I ever do
anything that might expose my secrets to the public, I’m sure I won’t even be able to work as a stunt
woman.”
“That’s why I’m satisfied with my job for now.” Roseane didn’t expect Eliza to have a dark past.
After remaining silent for a long time, Roseane looked up at Eliza and said, “If I ever encounter simr
problems in the future, can I…” “You can alwayse to me for help.” Eliza added, “I’m experienced in
this field anyway.” After all, Eliza did manage to coach someone as useless as Madeleine into an
outstanding actress. For someone like her who didn’t even graduate middle school, she wouldn’t have
seeded without Eliza’s help.
“Alright then. You can continue working as my personal stuntwoman. I will definitely give you a
handsome reward.”
Eliza nodded gratefully, “Thank you, boss!” Roseane beamed and sent a message to Matthew, “Can you
tell me what happened to Eliza in the past?”
“What did Roseane mean by that?” Matthew thought.
Looking at the message on the phone, Matthew frowned and turned to look at Beau, “Uncle.”
Beau did not look up. “Yes?”
“What kind of shady life did your wife lead in the past?” Beau stopped writing and looked up, “Huh?”
“I have to break some news to you.”
Matthew got up from the sofa and showed the phone to Beau. “I’ve asked someone to offer her a full-
time job as an actress, but she rejected it. The reason being that she has a dark past she doesn’t want
anyone to uncover.”
Beau closed the file of documents and said, “I don’t know. I‘ve only known her for several weeks.”
Matthew was speechless. “Uncle, why did you marry her when you don’t even know what kind of person
she is?” Beau flipped open another file of documents and scanned through it.
Matthew rolled his eyes and asked, “Just why did you marry her?”
“Braint likes her.”
“Demarion likes her as well.”
Beau looked up at him, “Isn’t that enough?” Matthew gaped in surprise.
“That is such a sloppy reason…”
“Uncle, we’re talking about your marriage and your happiness here. Your children shouldn’t even be
involved in this matter. Do you even love Eliza?”
“I will never fall in love with any woman.”
.
“I’m only doing it for my children.”
While he was speaking, Beau grabbed the pen and changed some of the details in the document. “I’ll
leave it to you to uncover her dark past.”
It dawned on Matthew that he had brought this upon himself.
It seemed like he had just dug his own grave.
“I shouldn’t have brought this topic up! What am I? An idiot?” Matthew med himself.
In the afternoon, Eliza was still analyzing the script for Roseane.
During a small break, she went to the nearby supermarket to buy some drinks.
When she returned to the set, some of the cast members working with Madeleine and Jay were
gossiping,
“Jay’s girlfriend is such a joke! She can’t even perform simple tasks of her role!”
“I can’t believe that she’s nominated as one of the potential candidates for the Golden Bull Award! How is
that even possible?”
“I have no idea how she managed to build her reputation as an actress up until now.”
Hearing their words, Eliza couldn’t help butugh.
Madeleine had never received any form of certification in the field of acting before. Her performance in
the past all depended on Eliza’s meticulous coaching.
She didn’t expect Madeleine to be so pathetic without her guidance.
“Eliza!”
Just as she was about to leave, someone stopped her. It was Jay.
He walked towards her and pulled her aside. “I heard that you’re free today.” He stuffed a script into her
hands and said, “Go and help Madeleine, now.” D “Madeleine is not doing too well at the moment.” Eliza
nced at the script in her hand and smiled. “Why should I help her?”
