While the crew speculated about Rose’s uncharacteristically poor performance, Mia and Lily were silently amused. Some crew members, including the director, assumed her struggles stemmed from the recent scandal surrounding Ryan’s company. Others speculated she might not be feeling well.

But Lily and Mia knew the truth. All of Rose’s previously praised acting had been carefully orchestrated and supported by Lily behind the scenes. Without that assistance, her skills were exposed for what they truly were–mediocre at best. Compared to Lily’s natural talent, Rose’s acting was bound to pale in comparison.

Watching Rose stumble and falter on set gave Lily a sense of satisfaction. This was exactly what she had intended to demonstrate–Rose’s weaknesses laid bare for all to see.

“Director Young, perhaps we should take a ten–minute break,” Lily suggested, her tone calm and professional.

The director nodded, clearly frustrated but agreeing with her. “Alright, everyone, take ten minutes.”

As the crew dispersed, Lily approached Rose, who was sulking in a corner. She offered her a pleasant smile that only made Rose’s anger flare.

“What do you want now?” Rose snapped, her voice filled with irritation. Her morning had already been disastrous, and she wasn’t in the mood for Lily’s games.

“Relax, little sister,” Lily said with a casual shrug. “I just wanted to give you a little advice. You know, talent can be polished with hard work. If you put in real effort, you might actually become a decent actress one day.”

Rose scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Are you seriously trying to act concerned for me?”

“Concerned? Not at all,” Lily replied, laughing lightly. “I just want this scene to go smoothly. After all, I’m really looking forward to tormenting you in the next part of the script.”

With that, Lily turned to leave, but her attention was caught by Ryan approaching them. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Ah, here comes the other half of the disaster duo. One’s jobless, and the other can’t even do her job. You two really are a perfect match.”

Ryan’s jaw tightened as he clenched his fists, but he chose to ignore her cutting remarks. He walked straight past Lily and over to Rose.
