Damn!
Director Lee usually had a bit of a temper but claimed to be a cultured gentleman, never resorting to cursing. However, he just couldn't hold back any longer. As far as Director Lee was concerned, it felt like a mute person eating bitterness - he had grievances but couldn't express them!
Weren't they all just begging him earlier? How come now it's Aria Grant's lack of ability and that he needs to find another actress?
"What the hell do you all mean? Are you just playing me for a fool? How did it come to Aria Grant not wanting to act? Since when did her ability become her decision? Why did you tell me so much then? And you even used Manuela West as a shield?"
Feeling the blast of Director Lee's outburst, David Thompson could do nothing but bear it silently. He couldn't stop Aria Grant from doing what she wanted, and his only role in this situation was to support and maintain her decisions.
