"Do it properly, don't read without feeling like that." The actress's voice sounded very annoyed with Freen's current attitude.
Freen took a deep breath, she read the script again, "These are just flowers, don't make all the colors have meaning. I know he likes them, that's why I planted them now." Freen only read what she saw, she didn't really understand what she read at the moment. Now her eyes were still reading the script silently, Freen waited for the actress beside her to read the reply to the script, but Rebecca didn't say anything. When she looked at the woman sitting next to her, she was surprised because Rebecca looked at her with an angry look, Freen said, "What? I was wrong again?" Yes, Freen misread part of the dialogue.
Rebecca held back her anger, then she said, "I told you before, you're Stevan, not Juliet, that's my line, Freen." This woman doesn't seem to be expected as a training partner. "Why weren't you focused earlier?"
Freen put the manuscript on the table, then she leaned back on the sofa, she said, "I don't like the story." Freen looked at the artist and said again, "Why did you choose a sad story? That man had a tragic ending."
In the script, Stevan is a character with one-sided love, he likes a woman who already has feelings for another man, his best friend. Meanwhile, the man Juliet likes always gives her yellow carnations, as a sign of rejection of the woman's love. Meanwhile, Stevan, who cannot have Juliet's heart, is finally forced to marry another woman because of his family's demands, but is not happy. Until one day, Stevan left his wife, and was always drunk every night, in the end he walked on the bridge singing and jumped off the bridge with a smile. He ended his life like that.
Rebecca sighed, she said, "I like the storyline, Juliet's character is very good."
"Good from where? You have a lot of crying scenes here." Freen had read all the scripts, she had even imagined all the sad stories. Steven and Juliet are characters who both cannot reach their love.
"I think it's good to erase the audience's memories of my previous roles." Psychopath, murderer. For Rebecca, crying is not an obstacle, she can shed tears as quickly as possible. Rebecca said, "Let's try again, remember! You read Steven's, not Juliet or the maid's dialogue. Try to be serious this time." Freen was just playing from earlier, she even read the dialogue from Juliet's sickly grandmother, son, your father and mother want the best for you, don't disappoint us. Freen even imitated the sound of the dying grandmother's coughing.
"Okay," Freen took the manuscript again, she looked at it for a moment, then she said, "You read first, then I." Freen was ready with the script, she was waiting for Rebecca to read what she had read before.
Rebecca nodded, quickly becoming immersed in her character, Juliet. This actress read it with a voice and expression that was very deep into Juliet. Now, the actress doesn't look at all like Rebecca, she said, "I won't give up Steven, he's the man I hoped for. Maybe now he's pushing me away, but I'm sure one day he'll be mine." Rebecca finished that one dialogue smoothly. She waited for Freen to answer the dialogue, but, again, Freen looked confused.
Freen's eyebrows furrowed at the script, the dialogue that Rebecca was reading was not the dialogue that she was paying attention to, she finally said, "Which one are you reading, Patric?" She even flipped through the manuscript, and finally peeked at Rebecca's manuscript, "Oh the dialogue underneath." Freen finally looked for the page again. After a while, she finally found the dialogue, she cheerfully said, "Well! Found it!" Freen smiled broadly. But Rebecca looked at her irritably. The actress slammed the script alongside Freen strongly.
"Never mind, don't continue anymore." She was sulking now, the character she had previously built broke because of Freen's flustered behavior. Rebecca took a deep breath and finally stood up to leave the sofa.
Freen chuckled, she really liked it when this actress was upset. Finally, Freen grabbed Rebecca's hand when the actress wanted to walk past her. Freen made Rebecca sit on her lap, the actress looked surprised by the sudden pull, she turned to the left, Freen's face was very cheerful now. Freen said, "Are all actresses like you? You get angry so quickly." Freen teases Rebecca again this time.
Rebecca's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance, she said, "I've used up all my patience, Freen." This woman let herself sit on Freen's lap, Freen's hands even wrapped around her waist this time.
Freen chuckled and said, "Want to do it again?" Rebecca was still looking at Freen and shook her head twice. Freen pouted slightly, she said again, "I promise I will be more serious."
Rebecca looked away for a moment and laughed in annoyance, then she looked at Freen again and said, "You've said it over and over again. I don't believe it anymore." Rebecca's annoyance apparently made Freen even more excited to tease this woman.
Freen smiled and touched the actress's nose with her nose as an expression of amusement. Rebecca was used to Freen's attitude like this. Then suddenly Freen opened the manuscript again, and looked for something. After a while, she finally found it, Freen said, "How about this? I can do it seriously." Rebecca saw the scene, it was the scene of Juliet and Steven kissing on the beach because they were drunk.
Rebecca looked at Freen with a look of disbelief, she said, "Never mind, you can't be expected." Rebecca finally let go of Freen's hand and stood up, leaving Freen alone on the sofa.
Freen laughed at Rebecca's reaction, and she said rather forcefully, "I'm good at doing that, come on!"
"No need!" Rebecca rejected the invitation. For this actress, even without getting into the characters of Juliet and Steven, they always kiss, even more than just kissing.
Freen, who heard the words of rejection, finally stood up and followed Rebecca who was in her room. She saw the actress pulling the blanket and apparently wanting to sleep. Freen looked confused by Rebecca's attitude, she asked, "Patric, why do you always want to sleep in my apartment, come on, let's do something else." Freen raised her eyebrows twice. Rebecca actually hasn't been home for almost ten days, she even asked Irin to bring clothes and other equipment to be delivered to Freen's apartment when she heard the story that Freen was kidnapped at that time. In recent days, Freen has been her personal driver for photo shoots and meetings with writers and other actors. Freen initially refused because her face still had bruises, but Rebecca gave her a mask and made Freen accompany her wherever she wanted.
Rebecca ignored Freen, she just pulled the blanket and tried to sleep. Freen sat beside the bed, she said, "Patric, don't sleep all the time. It's still nine o'clock." Evening.
Rebecca sighed, she said, "Freen, you are too active. I'm sleepy now." Her body felt tired, she didn't have the enthusiasm like Freen now.
Freen looked at Rebecca boredly, and said curtly, "That's it. Go to sleep." Freen stood up, she walked towards the cupboard. Then Freen opened the cupboard slowly, she was actually planning to go out to meet her friends at her regular club. Freen thought a little about choosing what clothes she should wear, and finally she chose black clothes that looked cool. Freen replaced it right then and there.
"Where are you going?" Rebecca's voice sounded curious. She saw Freen take off her clothes and change into other clothes. Finally the actress sat down and asked again, Freen did not answer her previous question, "Do you want to go out?"
Freen nodded, and finally she finished changing clothes. She turned around and smiled at Rebecca, she said, "I'll be home tonight,you.. go to sleep." She walked cheerfully out of the room. However, Rebecca quickly stopped Freen. She stood in front of Freen this time. "What is it?" Freen asked innocently, her schedule was like that, she often went out at night to meet friends or be challenged by opponents.
"You left me alone?"
"Aren't you going to sleep? Go on." Freen wanted to pass this actress, but Rebecca blocked Freen's path. Finally Freen said again, "Come on, I just want to go to the club." Freen was even too honest now, she felt it was a normal excuse.
"Club? Do you often clubbing?"
"Mm. Want to come?" Freen even asked Rebecca to go.
"Not allowed."
"What's not allowed?" Freen looked confused now, then she thought for a moment and as if she understood Rebecca's words, she nodded now and said, "Your agency won't allow you to go to the club, right? OK, I'll be alone." Freen stepped next to Rebecca, but the actress didn't give her way.
"Should not." Now her voice was firmer, Rebecca forbade Freen from leaving.
Freen pointed at herself with a confused look, she said, "I can't go?" She tried to guess Rebecca's ambiguous words. The actress didn't reply anything, not even a nod was given. Rebecca just looked at Freen's eyes in annoyance.
Freen sighed and said again, "Patric, don't be like this. I just want to go away for a while, I'm not there to seduce women."
"That's impossible, you definitely did it."
Freen smiled this time, she actually wanted to say something in her mind, but apparently Freen said it clearly, "If they seduce me, what can I do?" Freen was silent, she closed her mouth quickly. She just realized, her mouth was saying the same thing as her thoughts. Freen covered her mouth with her left hand, even her eyes widened at her own words, "Uhm, Patric?" The woman in front of her was furious now.
"Change clothes right now!" Rebecca's gaze and her tone of voice were a complete combination to mentally frighten this woman's heart player. Freen didn't immediately obey her words, she just kept quiet and blamed her mouth for a long time, why did you say that, Freen? "Don't want to? Here, let me help you to change it." Rebecca's hand reached for Freen's shirt, but the woman in front of her immediately stepped back and away from Rebecca.
"I only played for a while, just two hours." Freen still wanted to go out, she felt bored staying in the apartment all day.
Rebecca sighed, then approached Freen now. She said, "Okay, don't go anywhere. Just play with me." Rebecca quickly kissed Freen's lips.
Freen?
She smiled and agreed with Rebecca's words. That's what she wanted all along.
