Chapter: 1099
Then, the director summoned the crew to bring Sabrina to the set.
In his eyes, Galilea, a seasoned actress, paled in comparison to a newcomer standing in for her.
After Sabrina completed her part, Galilea resumed filming. While not entirely composed, she displayed marked improvement compared to her earlier distractions.
Following the director's command to halt the scene, Sabrina gracefully bestowed the down jacket upon Galilea.
A midday rendezvous for lunch with the crew unfolded, prompted by Galilea's impending afternoon filming.
As Sabrina approached with a tray of delectable sustenance for Galilea, her ears perked up to the dulcet tones of Galilea engaging in a phone conversation within the confines of the van. Apparently, the call emanated from her studio, bearing the news that an assortment of scripts had been dispatched for her to peruse.
Sabrina possessed prior knowledge of two of these scripts, both boasting considerable potential in the ensuing season. Coveted by actors far and wide, these narratives had garnered significant attention.
One of the scripts bore the indelible mark of a renowned director-scriptwriter duo, veterans of countless collaborations and recipients of numerous accolades. It was poised to be a monumental undertaking.
She checked the remaining scripts, discovering that they too derived their inspiration from beloved novels that had already garnered considerable acclaim.
Sabrina couldn't help but be taken aback by this revelation.
During the intermissions of these past couple of days, Sabrina had gleaned tidbits from the crew's conversations, affording her a modicum of insight into this industry's dynamics. Those who had the privilege of cherry-picking scripts typically fell into two categories: either they held sway over a devoted fan base or wielded financial clout to support the production.
Galilea, once the darling of a fervent following, had witnessed her fan base dwindle during her six-month hiatus and endured the taint of scandal of being a third party. Consequently, Galilea found herself relegated to a supporting role in this upcoming series.
But how could she pick the script now? Was it because of Elton?
Elton had propelled the Clifford family to soaring heights with his swift progress and cemented his position within the realm of Mathias. However, once Tyrone severed ties with Galilea, Elton, too, had severed his connection with Galilea. Elton wouldn't offer assistance to Galilea any longer, right?
Conceivably, there might be other underlying factors at play.
Galilea, unruffled as though she had anticipated this, instructed to dispatch the script to her later in the evening. She would diligently sift through them to select the cream of the crop.
Upon the completion of her afternoon filming, Sabrina graciously adorned Galilea with a down jacket, and the two of them headed toward the dressing room. In a casual tone, Sabrina remarked, “I've perused the schedule. It appears you have a few days off ahead."
“Indeed. Two days from now, you'll be accompanying me to Semonar. I have an engagement there."
“Very well." “Oh, and by the way, there's a meeting at a club at 8:45 a.m. tomorrow. I'd like you to join me."
Sabrina, a hint of surprise dancing in her gaze, inquired, “A morning meeting, you say?"
