Newfound Opportunity

On set, Elara found herself slightly distracted, her mind occasionally drifting to the unexpected dinner invitation from Vincent. However, she tried her best to push those thoughts aside and focus on delivering her scenes flawlessly, as she always did. Despite her efforts, Director Smith's voice boomed across the set, "We are working against time, people. I would appreciate fewer mistakes."

As Elara and Evie sat down for lunch, the new lead actress, Emma, approached them meekly. "Hi," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Elara looked up and offered a warm smile. "Hi, please join us. The food is too much for the both of us anyway."

Emma hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can't eat much. My next role will show parts of my stomach, and I don't want it to be bloated."

Evie nodded in understanding. "Understandable."
