She cursed Skylar a thousand times in her heart.

As more and more complaints reached her ears, Elianna had no choice but to make up her mind and lie down on the ground.
The moment she lay down, the icy water soaked through her clothes, and she immediately sat up, crying out, “Why is it so cold?”
Skylar wasn’t having any of it. “Edith lay in that water for so long just now and didn’t make a sound. You’ve only just touched it, and you’re already yelling. Don’t you think that’s a bit dramatic?“.
Elianna wanted to retort, but Skylar cut her off. “Ms. Stone, since you know the water is cold, you should hurry up, so you don’t catch a cold.”
Elianna choked on her words, stuck midway. She was incredibly uncomfortable.
She cursed inwardly, ‘Damn Skylar. You’d better hope I never get the chance. If I do, I’ll ruin you.‘
She glared at Skylar several times before finally clenching her jaw and lying back down in the water.
The overhead sprinkler turned on. Cold rain poured down from above, soaking her completely. She shivered uncontrollably.
She was supposed to maintain a blank expression, as her character was unconscious, but she looked aggrieved and furrowed her brows.
Skylar said, “Wrong expression. Do it again.”
Elianna exploded. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Skylar snapped, “You’re unconscious in this scene. How could you be frow
Elianna ground her teeth in frustration before reluctantly lying back down on the ground.
Skylar kept correcting Elianna. “Why are you shaking? Can’t you control yourself?”
“Watch your facial expression.”
“You’re lying in the wrong position. Adjust it.”
Elianna was at her limit. She was about to lose it. She snapped, “You just keep telling me I’m wrong! Sapphire, are you just targeting me on purpose because you don’t like me?”
Skylar said, “On camera, every movement and expression is magnified. If it’s wrong, it’s obvious.”
Elianna retorted, “This isn’t even my role! And we’re just doing a rehearsal. Is it really necessary to be this serious?”
Skylar tilted her head slightly. “It’s exactly because you’re not serious that we’ve wasted so much time already. If you perform a little better and finish the scene with Edith, it’ll pass in one take.”
Elianna’s face, pale from the rain, turned red with rage.
She really wanted to walk off, but so many people were watching. If she threw a tantrum now, the trending searches would be filled with posts about her being unprofessional and having poor acting skills.
She forced herself to endure it.
To avoid being soaked again, Elianna took the next scene very seriously.
This time, they got it in one take.

As soon as it ended, her assistant rushed over with a down jacket, a thermos of hot water, and a blanket, wrapping her up tightly.

Skylar remarked, “You actually did pretty well just now. Go back and study Edith’s performance carefully, memorize your lines, and we’ll continue in the
afternoon.”
Elianna’s fingers, gripping the thermos, were bloodless. She was shivering all over, unclear whether from cold or fury.
She returned to the trailer, took a hot shower, changed clothes, and wrapped herself up tightly to finally get warm again.
Determined not to be humiliated again, she prepared very thoroughly for the afternoon’s scenes. Every take passed on the first try.
As soon as she finished filming her part, she left the set.
Sitting in the car, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. “Skylar, that bitch!”
She sneezed loudly twice.
Her assistant looked worried. “Elianna, are you getting sick?”
