Chapter 285 Biting Off More Than You Can Chew

"What is wrong with you guys? You two can't even act a simple kiss scene properly. They are saying goodbye. Goodbye. Understand? The goodbye kiss has to be done with a bit of sadness. But look how you two kissed? Each of you closed your eyes tightly, as if you were forced to kiss. Do you want the audience to watch your horrible acts?"

The Goddess of My Adoration crew burst into laughter. Kisa's face reddened with anxiety and embarrassment, and Roy's face also turned slightly red.

The director pointed at and scolded him. "The first time I saw you in a martial arts drama, you were not bad, your acting skills natural and dynamic. That was the reason I agreed to make you the lead actor in this drama. Now you gave me this horrible acting in the first scene."

"I'm sorry. It is my fault. I will correct it."

"Fine. Fine. You guys go take a break. Stop pissing me off." The director waved at them and called out to the others, "Next scene."

Kisa sat down on the chair with her head hanging low and asked Lea sadly, "Did I really suck at acting just now?"

Lea pursed her lips and then said, "Who said that? You acted well."

As soon as she saw Lea was trying to comfort her, Kisa became more and more frustrated.

"It is her fault. Her acting sucks, causing our Roy to be scolded as well."

"Yeah. They say her company is funding this drama. But I can't accept her to play the female lead. Can't she find someone better to play the role? Why does it have to be her? Is she crazy about getting famous?"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Absolutely. She is dragging us all down. If Roy's popularity declines, it will be all her fault."

The voices of several of Roy's assistants complaining came from the side. Kisa subconsciously clenched her hands with a hint of guilt inside her. 'I promised I would work hard to play the role well and not to disappoint Jensen and Kohen. How could I be so useless? No, I can't be discouraged. No matter what, I must act well in this drama.' She tilted her head and took a deep breath. While doing this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Gilbert sitting on the opposite set.

Gilbert, as the CEO of GK Pictures, was the center of attention on the set. His presence also made her feel uneasy. He was sitting on a comfortable lounge chair with a large umbrella over his head and several staff waiting on him.

Kisa could not help but curse silently. 'It is a waste of manpower and resources for a CEO to come and visit.' The two sets were not far apart, and Gilbert was watching her with a faint smile, as if mocking her and telling her, "Look, you want to become an international superstar with such bad acting skill? You are biting off more than you can chew." She became even more determined to do well in this drama. As she stared back at Gilbert, Roy suddenly came up to her.

"Kisa, are you okay?"

Kisa smiled at him and shook her head. "I'm fine. You?"

"I'm fine, too. When I first got into the business, I got yelled at worse than this," Roy said, glancing toward his assistants and said, "Just now my assistants didn't know what they were saying. Please don't take it to heart."

"How could Kisa not take it to heart? What your assistants said was nasty."

"Lea!" Kisa stopped her and said to Roy, "It is okay. They were actually right; I got you into this. After all, you have acting skills and experience, and I have nothing."

"You are much better than some rookies in the industry. Come on, let's do a good job together in this drama."

"Okay."

Kisa's impression of Roy was good, unlike Howard, whose kindness to her felt kind of fake. But Roy was a really gentle and kind guy.

"Gilbert, I really have to say that my sister is a man-magnet. It is only the first scene, and she has got along so well with Roy. That smile of hers... Eh, where are you going, Gilbert?"
