Camille stepped forward, adopting a dramatic pose. “Of course! I was a wellpaid actress hired by Brook. Deceiving you wasn’t just my job—it was my talent and my skill!”

Brook offered Camille an appreciative nod. “Indeed, you have remarkable talent for acting. Study diligently, and next year apply to drama school to refine your abilities.”

Camille returned his smile with a playful salute. “Got it! I’ll follow whatever guidance you give me!”
