Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295

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

Caspian and Stella 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. Stella 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 Stella, Bradley massaged his temples and finally yelled, “Cut!” 

Stella’s shoulders relaxed 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 glance that they were about to be upbraided. Stella 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 Stella. 

“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 Stella admitted their mistakes humbly, but Bradley was so angry that he couldn’t even look at them. 

The manager couldn’t help but be cautious. The entertainment industry is a particularly 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 Stella 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!”
