The scene was supposed to be a dramatic push into the water, but before the director could even give the cue, Anna went ahead and pushed Athena straight in.

Now, Athena wasn't much of a swimmer. She flailed about for a bit before sinking beneath the surface. People nearby rushed to her aid, luckily managing to pull her out before anything serious happened.

Anna, however, didn't show a hint of remorse. She just stood there, nonchalantly blowing on her freshly painted nails. "Come on, you knew there was a water scene. Should've learned how to swim by now, right? Talk about unprofessional."

Athena coughed hard, trying to rid her lungs of water, finally managing to breathe somewhat normally. She shot a look at Anna, who merely raised an eyebrow. "What? Am I wrong?"
