Stepping out of the room, Lily inhaled deeply, trying to steady her racing heart. The encounter with Ryan had left her shaken, and the mere memory made her skin crawl. “What an awful experience,” she muttered under her breath. If she could, she’d scrub herself clean right then and there.

Hearing faint groans of pain from behind the door, a small smile tugged at her lips. “At least he’ll think twice before coming near me again.”

Regaining her composure, Lily walked back to the set, her expression calm and composed as if nothing had happened. She took her seat, casually adjusting her costume. Moments later, she noticed Ryan limping into view, his face twisted with anger as he glared at her. His awkward gait nearly made her laugh, but she bit her lip to hold it back.

Director Young soon approached her, script in hand. “Lily, let me brief you on the next scene.”

He explained that the upcoming shot required her character, Stella, a mentally unstable older sister, to obsess over a mysterious man who had saved her life. Meanwhile, her younger sister would return home. with her boyfriend, introducing a contrasting emotional dynamic.

Taking her position on set, Lily adjusted her mindset, ready to embody Stella.

“Action!” Director Young’s voice boomed.

In an instant, Lily transformed into Stella, her eyes wild with obsession and her voice sharp as a blade.

“Did you find any information about him?” she barked at the trembling detective in front of her..

“No, Boss,” the actor playing the detective stammered.

Stella’s face contorted with fury, “Nothing? After all this time, you still have nothing?”

“I–I’m still trying. Boss,” the detective whimpered, his head bowed.

Her voice dropped to a chilling calm. “Trying? I don’t need your excuses. I need results. You have two hours to find him–or consider your life forfeit.”

The detective collapsed to his knees, his voice trembling. “Boss, please… give me more time. I’ll find him. I promise!”

Stella smirked, her voice laced with mockery. “More time? Fine. Two hours and… a minute.”

The man stayed frozen, staring at the ground, too terrified to respond.

“What? Is that too generous? Should I reduce it?” Stella tilted her head, her smile cold.

The detective frantically shook his head.

“Good,” she said with finality. “Two hours and one minute. Now get out of my sight. Your face is testing my patience.”
