Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Stephanie removed all her prop swords and bolted straight to Gracie, exclaiming, "Gracie, you're here too!"

Gracie grinned, "Yep, I'm here. Alison told me you're wrapping up shooting today, so I thought we'd all come and celebrate." Alison was also supposed to come, but since Stephanie was with Sebastian, she didn't let her.

After all, it's snowing and quite chilly.

Stephanie chuckled, "And my Silver Fox is here too!"

Only then did Gracie notice Sebastian standing in a corner watching the scene.

She gasped, "Mr. Ingram is here too?"

Sebastian gave her a quiet nod and said, "Yeah, dinner's on its way. We might as well celebrate together since we're all here." Gillian and Maddie immediately cheered, "Wow! Steph, your Silver Fox is so thoughtful! He even arranged a celebratory dinner!" Gracie smiled, "Mr. Ingram is really considerate. Let's all celebrate together! For Steph's very first movie. Cheers to a wrap!" Mr. Finnegan watched the whole scene and thought that even the leading actor's wrap wasn't this lively!

But Gracie really did come.

Mr. Finnegan glanced at Maximus, who stood there like a log.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Mr. Finnegan said, "Gracie, long time no see!"

Gracie's face was all smiles, "Mr. Finnegan, thank you for taking such good care of our artists."

"That's the least I could do. This girl can endure hardships; she's got spirit, and a bright future!"

Gracie was even more delighted to hear this, "She's our company's future A-lister, our key talent. Mr. Finnegan, if you're interested, we can collaborate on the next project."

"Casting her as a supporting role is a

waste... Let's see if there are suitable

lead roles in the next one. But no rush we can discuss this later."

Is he hinting at having Steph play the lead in a movie?

That's awesome! That means she might win awards at a young age!

Gracie was over the moon.

"With Mr. Finnegan's words, I'm reassured! Ashley, why don't you come over and meet everyone?"

Ashley, who was holding Emily, froze in her actions.

She removed her mask, and said, "Mr. Finnegan... long time no see."

Everyone around, Maximus, Dashiell, and some veteran actors, were all shocked.

Oh my god! Ashley!!

Even Mr. Finnegan was taken aback and took a while to recover, "It's you. You're Stephanie's teacher, and her acting skills were taught by you!

QUMS

And that little girl...

Everything makes sense now... Otherwise, where would so young Stephanie get such high-level acting skills!"

Ashley smiled bitterly, "You're flattering me, Mr. Finnegan... Steph's acting skills still need to be polished."

Mr. Finnegan raised his eyebrows, "So... you're back?"

Ashley nodded, "Not yet; I'm currently collaborating with Gracie to train new actors."

"You don't plan to act in movies anymore?"

"I'm not certain... but I don't want to appear on screen for now."

"What a wastę... Well, I know all of

you have your own issues, and I don't want to force you. It's getting harder and harder to find good actresses in the entertainment industry. If you can come back, then do so. If not, that's okay too... Helping train new actors is also a good thing."
