Chloe stood near the monitors, smiling as she watched Oralia’s performance. Her acting was killer–truly impressive. Brian kept praising her. She needed no extra coaching, grasping the core of each scene almost instantly.
“The temperature’s pretty high right now. You don’t need to stand here in the sun. There’s a screen backstage where you can watch the feed comfortably.
A voice spoke beside her. Chloe turned to see Eugene standing right next to her, holding a bottle of chilled water. He offered it to her.
“Thanks” Chloe accepted it.
During the break, everyone returned to the lounge.
Landon personally brought in snacks for the group. The moment he entered, a warm, pleasant aroma filled the room.
“What’s that smell? It’s really nice.”
“Carolyn’s been making apologies to the whole crew all day. Oralia answered Landon directly. This morning it was chicken soup, then some pastries, and now her fan club dropped off aromatherapy gifts to help everyone chill out.”
Landon glanced at Oralia, reminded that this young woman was a tricky problem. He raised an eyebrow with a sly grin.

With that thought, Oralia stole a quick glance at Eugene, who was sitting quietly nearby chatting with Chloe. After just one second of hesitation, she mentally wrote Landon off completely.
Her beloved Chloe was completely out of his league. If Chloe were to pick a man, he’d have to be at least on Eugene’s level–stylish, commanding, and crucially, extremely wealthy. What did Landon have to offer?

But the next second, Oralia let out that dismissive snort. He hadn’t even spoken a word and he was already

What was that about?
“Landon, feeling bored? Want to play odds and evens? A clear, youthful voice piped up beside him.
When Robert popped up next to him. Landon’s mouth twitched. Please, no. This little prodigy has already taken plenty from me. My year–end bonus? Iliped out.

The next scene would be much more challenging. It involved complex wire–fighting sequences. The costume and props teams were all on high alert. The safety crew was in position too.
“This one’s going to be difficult. Let’s try to get it in one take. And everyone, please be careful, Brian personally reminded everyone before returning to his director’s ch
Oralia and Carolyn took their positions. At Brian’s signal, the cameras started rolling.
On the monitor, the rider handled her horse with graceful control. The scene transitions looked beautiful.
Chloe stood off to the side. Brian had offered her a chair, but she preferred to stand. From her could watch both the monitor and the live action.
