CH 16

The little girl gazed in awe at Ms. Roberts and Mr. Buck, their fluent British accents sounding as if they had been speaking that way for years, even more fluently than her. She had been curious about how Big Mouth Sister would overcome this challenge after receiving the script, but it seemed like there was no challenge at all. That's what you call professionalism!

"Cut!" Director Charles shouted, standing up and frowning at Angela. "Miss Mason, what were you daydreaming about just now?"

"Was it my turn?" The little girl finally realized and stammered pitifully. "I... I'm sorry, I was... I was amazed by Miss Roberts' performance."

Her current appearance was both frustrating and amusing, so Mr. Sawyer stared at her for a while and then raised his hand. "Take a few minutes break and let's start again!"

Angela felt a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, they were shooting indoors now. If she had zoned out and had an NG moment during the lobby scene later, it would have been embarrassing. She was no longer concerned about how the director would treat her. Her natural affinity had quickly integrated her into the entire cast and crew over the past few days. Moreover, her acting skills gradually improved. Encouragement and criticism were necessary for children, even though this kid's soul was no longer that of a child.

"Angie, this is something to remember," Jessica smiled mischievously and waved her hand in front of her.

"Why?" Angela blinked, confused.

"It's the first time you've had an NG moment because of daydreaming," Jessica's smile immediately turned mischievous, and then another voice chimed in. "What a shame the photographer didn't capture it just now. Maybe we could sell it for a high price if Angie becomes a big star in the future!"

A tall girl appeared from behind Jessica and made a funny face at Angela. It was Annie, the girl who acted with her in the first scene at San Bernardino National Forest a week ago. Yes, her full name was Annie Meyers, Nancy's eldest daughter. She often played small roles in her parents' films, and this time was no exception. That's why back at Arrowhead Lake, she comforted Angela, thinking her father scolded her and advised her not to take it to heart.

"Go ahead and laugh, no need to be polite," Angela crossed her arms and looked at the two of them pretending to hold a grudge. "But if I have another NG moment, it won't be my fault."

"Yes, I understand," Angela nodded, her eyes filled with adoration as she continued to gaze at Julia.

Julia was somewhat skeptical and decided to approach the conversation differently. "Alright, Angela, let me ask you, do you understand your own character?"

"Yes, I understand," the little girl promptly replied, then added, "I wrote the script."

"Really? So now we... Wait a minute! You said... you wrote the script?" Julia's mouth dropped open in astonishment, accentuating her already sensual lips.

Taken aback by Julia's reaction, Angela couldn't help but sigh and slouch on the couch, looking helpless. "Oh dear, Mr. Buck asked me the same question earlier, and now you're asking me too. Will Mr. Quinn and Miss Ryan ask me the same thing when they arrive? It's all written in the script, I remember."
