"Tiana, it's okay, you can do it." Elliana Lyle patted Tiana Harris on the shoulder and handed her an open bottle of mineral water.
Taking the water from her, Tiana thanked her but didn't drink it, instead sitting dejectedly on the small stool.
Her hair, intentionally styled to look messy, only mirrored Tiana's current mood.
The scene had been tested seven times, yet Tiana just couldn't get into character. Director Gary Young, helpless, had no choice but to arrange to shoot other parts first.
This led Tiana to become utterly disheartened. Coupled with the snide remarks and laughter from some people on the set, Tiana seemed to have lost all her fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Elliana suggested, "Let's practice the scene together. I believe you can do it."
"I can't... I'm nothing..." Tiana looked up at the studio ceiling, her eyes brimming with tears.
She didn't want to look at Elliana's face, believing that Elliana must be laughing at her inside.
