Spoiled by the Silver Fox

The director scratched his nose awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect... Giovanni to get so into the role and really hit that hard..."

"Heh, you can go explain that to Gracie yourself, Director!"

After saying that, Alison walked away with her arm around Stephanie's shoulder.

Maddie and Gillian told her to take care of Stephanie, and then they went to confront Giovanni together.

Giovanni kept apologizing, "I'm sorry... I didn't know what happened, I just got so absorbed by Stephanie's incredible acting that I lost control... I didn't mean to do it..."

The director frowned and said, "It does happen when an actor gets too into their role... but Giovanni, you need to be more careful next time!"

"I know I was wrong, Director... When Stephanie comes back, I will apologize to her in person."

Maddie and Gillian glared at her and said, "Giovanni, you'd better be really into the role. If we find out you did this to Steph on purpose, you're done for!"

"I really didn't..."

But deep down, she was smug.

Stephanie, how does it feel to be slapped by me?

Hehe, fight with me, you were still a little tender!

Stephanie's face was injured, so she couldn't continue filming. The Director gave her two days off to recover.

After two days of rest and a hospital check-up, Stephanie was fine, just swollen and scary-looking.

She was given some anti-inflammatory medication and told to rest.

In the hotel, Alison applied the medication for her and said angrily, "Giovanni definitely did it on purpose!"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"How did you know? She was really into the role. I've been on the set for a while, and it's the first time I've seen her act so well... Her eyes were filled with tears, and they were all red. She didn't even use eye drops beforehand, she was just in the Zone..."

"That's because she's been neglected and wronged lately... Her own character and the one she had to portray are similar, both hating you to the point of wanting you to disappear from this world. That's why her eyes were so expressive... Why wasn't she immersed in the role yesterday or the day before?

It just so happens that today she had a scene where she had to hit you, and she suddenly got really into it?" Stephanie said with a wry smile, "Maybe she's turned over a new leaf and wants to focus on acting?"

"Give me a break... she's such a scheming person!"

"Ah, Alison is angry... Are you really going to tell Gracie about this?"

"Of course! The director is also to blame... He could tell the first slap was real, but he didn't call cut, so you ended up getting slapped three times! Do you know how precious a

female actor's face is?"

"I know, I know... But you can't blame the director for this. He wanted the scene to be realistic, and Giovanni rarely has such an acting breakthrough, so he didn't want to call cut..."

"So you just got hit for no reason? I have to tell Gracie about this... And Gracie said that if anything happens on set, we have to report it to her, or else it's my fault!"

"Alright, alright, you can tell her... Gracie knows the big picture, so she probably won't do much about it."

You're wrong there; Gracie has a very strong personality.

Alison has seen Gracie's tough and efficient character firsthand, having worked with actors who Gracie has personally trained.

Just wait, Gracie will make sure Giovanni pays for those slaps.

In front of an experienced agent like Gracie, a newcomer like Giovanni is nothing.

She should know whose talent she's messing with!
