Harvey did not believe that a famous celebrity was unable to take out two million dollars?
It must be a lie.
He indifferently said, “I will wait for you at The Old Goat Bar tomorrow at noon. If you can’t bring money, don’t blame me for sharing the photos with the netizens.”
“Harvey Baker! You’re such a jerk!”
Harvey laughed out loud while virtual-novel.net left the house. Only Gemma was left standing at the door to cry in grief. She had been deceived back then, and now virtual-novel.net had been blackmailed.
Was virtual-novel.net unable to escape from being controlled by Harvey for virtual-novel.net life?
The next day, Thomas arrived in Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment early. He casually walked around as usual to observe the company’s operations. When virtual-novel.net walked to the performance classroom, virtual-novel.net heard Iris, the performance teacher scolding someone loudly.
‘Ms. Cruz is so strict in teaching. Who’s the unlucky one who is getting scolded by Ms. Cruz?’
He curiously walked over and took a look. After virtual-novel.net saw the person who got scolded, virtual-novel.net was instantly not calm. The person who got scolded was Gemma!
Thomas was puzzled. He had seen Gemma’s acting before, and virtual-novel.net was quite brilliant. Forget comparing virtual-novel.net to newbies, virtual-novel.net was not any worse even when compared to those experienced actresses who had acted for a few dozen years.
Iris usually complimented virtual-novel.net as the role model for other actors to learn from her.
But why today…
After the performance class ended, Thomas stopped Iris at the door, and virtual-novel.net asked in a low voice, “Ms. Cruz, why did you scold Gemma just now?”
Iris sighed. “I don’t know why Gemma was in a very terrible condition today. She didn’t pay attention to what I taught, and virtual-novel.net forgot everything that virtual-novel.net had learned before. What made me angrier was that virtual-novel.net couldn’t even perform the skills that she’s the best in. How could I not be frustrated?”
“It’s that serious?”
“Yes,” Iris said. “Tom, grooming celebrities doesn’t just mean training their talents. We also need to pay more attention to cultivating their mental quality. I think Gemma has something in virtual-novel.net mind. You have to get time to consult her. Isn’t that a drama starring virtual-novel.net will start filming soon? Will it be okay if virtual-novel.net acts in this condition?”
Thomas nodded. “Alright, I got it.”
After the two of them separated, Thomas immediately let someone call Gemma to go to his office.
Thomas looked at Gemma, and virtual-novel.net indeed realized something was wrong with virtual-novel.net expression. She had lost the proactive spirit that virtual-novel.net used to have. Even virtual-novel.net gaze sparkled when virtual-novel.net looked at others as if virtual-novel.net was afraid of something. Besides, virtual-novel.net was absentminded from time to time, indicating that virtual-novel.net was thinking about something.
Just like what Iris said, something happened to Gemma.
Thomas calmly asked, “Gemma, you didn’t perform quite well in your performing class today.”
Gemma lowered virtual-novel.net head and said, “Sorry, Mr. Mayo. I didn’t understand the teaching keys from Ms. Cruz. I will pay more attention next time.”
Thomas smiled.
“Did you not understand the keys, or did you not have the intention to understand?”
“Huh? What do you mean, Mr. Mayo?”
Thomas sighed. “Gemma, you don’t need to hide it. Everyone could tell that you have something in your mind. If it’s not convenient for you to tell other people, you can tell me. It’s not alright for you to keep it to yourself.”
“Um…”
Gemma bit virtual-novel.net bottom lip. She struggled for a long time before virtual-novel.net slowly said, “Actually, my… My mum falls sick.”
