"I believe the previous plot is perfect, Mr. Riley. A girl being beaten up by delinquents. It is already gripping. There's no need for me to be almost raped in that scene. If I am to act in this scene, that means I will be inappropriately touched and hugged by others."

As a lady from a noble family, there was no way on earth she was going to accept that.

Come what may, she wasn't going to allow strangers to lay a hand on her inappropriately.

Brewster looked at her and said, "This is just the reality of acting.

You've to be able to adjust to any sudden script change. Trust me, with time, you will get used to it."

He spoke politely as he didn't want to sound condescending by being rude.

Still, if it were another new actor, he would have shut the person down. He would have yelled at the person to either do the job required of them or get lost.

Ivy was unsatisfied. "But I..."

“You should get going. Your scene is up next,"

Brewster said, interrupting her. He had lost his patience. He picked up the interphone and yelled into it, “Next scene ready!"

Ivy, frustrated and angry, remained rooted to the spot.

She was about to say something to the director when she caught the assistant director out of the corner of her eye. Quickly, she went to meet him.

"Excuse me, sir, what's going on here? Are you aware of the change the director made regarding the scene where I get beaten up by delinquents?"

The assistant director looked at the script, sighed, then glanced at Rosalynn and Tilda who were discussing the plot together.

He looked back at Ivy, lowered his head, and said in a hushed voice, “Sorry about this. But, since Tilda was the one who suggested this change, I couldn't possibly object to it. Everyone listens to whatever she says, so everyone supports it."

Ivy raised her eyebrows. So Tilda was the one behind this absurdity.

Furiously, she marched up to Tilda and swatted the script she was reading onto the floor.

With an icy voice, Ivy asked, "How dare you play such a trick on me?"

Tilda calmly gazed up at Ivy. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Ivy fixed her gaze on Tilda and exclaimed, "You don't know?! Why did you alter the script of the fourth female lead? Why make such a disgusting rape scene? Tilda, you did this on purpose to make me uncomfortable!"
