Jason said, “You’re reckless, quick to anger, and jump to malicious conclusions about others. You can’t even tell right from wrong, can’t control your emotions, and never take responsibility for anything. Someone like that is nothing but dead weight for the company.”
His reasons were solid, and he didn’t let any personal feelings show. He was speaking purely as the boss. But everyone could see that a lot of this was because of what Claire had done to Natalie today.
Claire’s legs buckled, and she crumpled to the floor, tears pouring down her cheeks. This time, she wasn’t faking it. She was genuinely eaten up with regret.
She’d finally managed to sign with Jason’s company, thinking she’d landed herself a golden ticket, and her future was bright. Yet on her very first gig, she messed with someone she absolutely shouldn’t have, and just like that, her career was
toast.
Getting terminated didn’t just mean losing this cameo. It meant Jason’s company was cutting her loose, and after that, nobody would risk hiring her again.
The whole place went dead silent. Everyone was shocked by Jason’s forceful actions.
To protect Natalie, he’d threatened to pull the funding, replace the lead actress, and now even terminate the contract of a newly signed actress from his own company. There was seemingly nothing he wouldn’t do for her.
“I know I messed up. Please, just give me one more chance.” Claire rushed forward, but Zoe blocked her path.
Jason didn’t even look at her. “You shouldn’t be asking me. She’s the one you should be asking, since she’s your boss.”
With that, he stepped aside, letting everyone see Natalie standing right behind him.
Claire was completely floored. ‘She’s my boss?‘
The rest of the crowd was just as baffled. ‘Hold on. Wasn’t Jason supposed to be Claire’s boss?‘ They might not have known the full story, but one thing was obvious. Claire had just offended the one person she absolutely couldn’t afford to
cross.
Claire was utterly hopeless now. ‘It’s all over… Everything’s ruined.‘
Daniel was so scared he didn’t even have the strength to beg for mercy. He just collapsed on the ground.
Graham watched everything unfold, letting out a silent sigh. He knew there was no way around it. ‘Today’s mess has to be dealt with, and with Jason’s attitude so firm, there is zero room for compromise.‘
He took a deep breath and spoke in a grave voice, “Given the seriousness of what happened today, the production has reached the following decisions.”
“Lead actress Mandy Collins is hereby suspended from all filming activities. Further arrangements will be announced in due course. Claire Moore’s cameo role is canceled effective immediately. Assistant director Daniel Reed is suspended effective immediately for serious dereliction of duty.”

He added, “The production will issue formal notices regarding this incident to all relevant companies and individuals, and
we reserve the right to pursue legal action where necessary.”
The crew started shooing away the onlookers. “Alright, show’s over. Move along.”
Jason quickly turned to Natalie, guilt written all over his face. “I’m so sorry. I was busy working and missed your message. I had Zoe go out to meet you, but I never expected something like this to happen. Those people really didn’t know who they were messing with.”
Natalie’s cold demeanor finally melted a bit, and a confident, gentle smile appeared on her lips. “It’s not your fault, Jason. No need to apologize. They can’t do anything to me anyway.”
When Jason saw the calm, composed smile on Natalie’s face, some of his guilt eased, though his heart still ached for her.
“Graham, we’ve already lost a lot of time over this. The Lady of Blackvale scene that was supposed to be filmed this
morning can’t go ahead now that the original actress is gone,” the set assistant spoke up cautiously.
“Jason’s hair, makeup, and wardrobe were prepared specifically for these two scenes today, which were meant to be shot
back–to–back. We already have other scenes scheduled for this afternoon, and the location booking and crew timing are all
fixed.”
He didn’t finish, but everyone knew exactly what he meant. This scene had to get done today, but the actress was out,
time was tight, and since it involved Jason’s look and the venue, messing with any part of it would, throw everything off.
Graham’s frown deepened. This was a serious problem.
Even though Lady of Blackvale was just a cameo with barely any screen time, she was a crucial turning point in the story.
There was no way they could skip her.
Plus, Jason’s character had some major emotional shifts before and after this scene, so they needed to shoot it all in one
go to make it work.
Finding a replacement actress on such short notice was nearly impossible. Even if they managed to find someone right for the role, getting her camera–ready and walking her through the blocking would take far too long. There was no chance of
finishing it today.
Graham found his gaze irresistibly drawn back to Natalie.
‘Isn’t she the perfect choice? Just look at her. She has the face, the presence, everything Lady of Blackvale needs. The ratings will go through the roof with her playing this role. I’ve never seen anyone this gorgeous in showbiz before.
“Jason, to be honest, the moment I saw Miss Moore in that costume, I knew she was right for the role. The way she carried herself, that cold, distant air about her, it all fit perfectly. She suits the part far better than Claire.”
He paused and then turned to Natalie, his tone sincere and a little tentative. “Miss Moore, would you be interested in stepping in for a cameo? It’s just one scene, a handful of lines. But honestly, this part was made for you.”
A few of the main crew were all nodding like crazy. They’d just seen Natalie’s look, and honestly, she was jaw droppingly
gorgeous.
She stayed completely composed when Mandy and her crew tried to pile on and then shut them down with calm, razor

sharp logic that left them stunned. There was just something about her, a presence that set her apart from everyone else.
Jason looked at Natalie with a hint of interest in his eyes. “If you’re up for it, I think it’d be a great experience.”
Natalie sensed their urgency and simply nodded. “Sure.”
Graham’s face lit up. “Miss Moore, did you get a look at the script yet?”
Natalie nodded. She already got it earlier.
“So… should we just jump right in?” Graham asked, eager to get started.
Natalie gave a slight nod. “Sure.”
Graham’s energy shot through the roof. He grabbed his walkie–talkie and called out in a booming voice, “All departments, heads up. The Lady of Blackvale scene is about to start. Actors, take your places.”
The set, which had been stuck in a tense lull, suddenly burst back to life thanks to Natalie’s agreement. Everyone kicked into high gear, jumping right back into their jobs.
Natalie was led to her mark at the far end of the corridor.
Jason took his position in the center of the stone court, his expression already settled into the confusion and unease the scene required.
Light spilled in through the tall arched openings, breaking across the ground in shifting bands of shadow. A low veil of mist drifted over the flagstones from the dry ice machine, giving the entire set a still, uncanny atmosphere.
Graham sat behind the monitor, drew a breath, and lifted the megaphone. “Scene seventy–two of The Dreambound Years. Lady of Blackvale’s first appearance. Take one. Action.”
The clapper snapped shut. The first shot went to Jason.
