4 Rookie Artist Ask For Help

It took Celine a while to nod her head at Jayden's statement just now.

"Great! I let you stay here for nothing but the success of the drama. That's it."

Celine admits that Jayden is handsome. Because of his good looks, he has an enormous fan base. But it still surprised Celine that he could speak openly like that.

Celine knows that her arrival at this house was for the sake of the smoothness of their latest drama. Did she ever think of anything else? It's not like she agreed to the director's decision in the first place!

"The entertainment industry has a very tough competition. Although you won the title of Best Rookie Artist this year, if your acting skills are poor, people can quickly forget your name. Luckily, I still have a conscience after considering your career. If not, why would I let you stay in my house?" added Jayden, bragging a little.

Celine squeezed the script in her hand. Jayden's words eroded her confidence.

"I'm sorry. I feel sorry," Celine mumbles. "I know my acting yesterday was not enough to satisfy all of you. However, I will try to fix it!"

Jayden folded his arms in front of his chest. With his chin slightly raised, he asked curiously, "Why did your acting quality suffer so much when compared to the quality of your acting in your debut drama? Your movements don't look natural and seem far-fetched. That's disappointing directors and producers to the point of deciding this."

Come to think of it, this is a golden opportunity for Celine. Maybe he can help her out of her predicament, right?

Ahem!

She cleared her throat, trying to stabilize her voice first.

"If I could tell you the truth, I would answer that it was all because of you. I don't blame you. But, acting with you, a talented actor, puts me under so much pressure. I'm always worried about whether my acting quality can be comparable to your acting. And by enduring such great pressure, I always feel nervous."

Under the dim light of the pavilion's lights, Celine breathed her breath full of relief. At least Jayden knows the cause of her lousy acting that day. And for some reason, she feels worried.

"So ridiculous. That means you're not professional. And so far, you're the only 'weird' artist I've ever met."

Celine's heart sank. Instead of speaking softly, why did he have to speak harshly to her like that?

"I know, I know. Therefore, I need your guidance. Please help me. I want to be a successful artist like you!"

Jayden grinned. "Having a stable career in the entertainment industry wasn't easy. It would be best if you had something that others do not have so that you can be considered 'special' and also 'valuable' by others. And you can only obtain both of those things if you have professionalism in your field."

Jayden's advice is rare. As someone with a fantastic career journey for years, she needs to learn much from him.

"Since you've realized all your flaws, I hope you can improve soon. Feeling nervous or not, when you are acting against me, you must remember that this is all the work. Must remove complaints and prioritize professionalism," continued Jayden.

Celine nodded in understanding of all the advice Jayden had given her. It's all for her career. And Celine felt Jayden wasn't as bad as she thought. Even though he often said cruelly, the man still gave wonderful messages like that.

Therefore, Celine felt that Jayden's attitude was unique. He seemed friendly in front of the camera and always smiled, but he looked unapproachable and cruel when he was behind the camera.

After pondering for a long time, Celine responded, "Thank you for allowing me to improve myself by agreeing to the solutions suggested by the director. I can't believe you're willing—"

"Didn't I tell you not to be high-headed?" fumed Jayden with a slightly high-pitched tone at the end.

"It's not like I agreed to the director's decision for free. I had to accept it because there was no other way out. Next month the filming of the drama will begin. What happens if you keep acting awkwardly without passion like the other day? It's like killing the drama slowly! What I want from this drama is success, not failure. Because if this drama fails, it will ruin my career!"

Celine lost all her words after being interrupted unilaterally by him. His words scalded with cold water on her heart. Although what he said is true.

"I will try my best! Thanks for everything!"

Although the pavilion's lighting was quite dim, Celine could see the bruises on Jayden's face. Therefore, she again recalled the incident of yesterday evening.

Celine raised the script in her hand again, pretending to read the script while asking, "What about your face? Does it still hurt like yesterday?"

Jayden was silent. He remembered Ruth saying that this morning, Celine cooked his breakfast food.

Because Celine brought up this topic again, he smoothly spoke, "Is that man your lover? Your ex-boyfriend, maybe? What the hell has he been doing in your apartment all those nights? If the journalist finds out, your career will be at stake!"

Celine took her breath away. Her head looks down. "You didn't answer my question before," Celine murmured.

"Then why? You haven't answered my question since last night, too. Did you have anything to do with him? Is he your Ex-boyfriend? Because if I remember, you two seem to know each other. Am I wrong?"

Wrong.

Celine shouldn't have asked how he was doing.

She regrets it. She should have been quiet and let Jayden go because their talk was over.

"It could be a scandal if someone else finds out, especially those who hate you, your haters. They will babble and continue to make strange theories until your career is ruined! Aren't you afraid of this?"

Celine suddenly stood up and came down from the pavilion with the script.

"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?! I haven't finished talking to you!" Celine's actions offended Jayden.

Coinciding with that, Celine, already wearing her sandals, turned around. She stared at Jayden's face with an unreadable expression.

"Thank you for your attention. However, from now on, let's not discuss last night's incident anymore. Let's pretend as if nothing happened. And for the bruises you got, I'm sorry."

Jayden didn't arrest her. Instead, he just let her go.

"Tsk. That woman is something. Did she think she could hide it forever? If it's not resolved immediately, that man may make a mess again! And also, why would that woman act like a senior in front of me? Suck!"
