Chapter 236 He’s Just Gonna Leave You Like That
Sophia’s heart instantly tensed; she blurted out without thinking, “Mr. Graham’s not staying until Freya’s fully healed?”
“It’s really not a serious injury. He’s got a lot on his plate–there’s no need for him to stick. around just to take care of me. Besides, I can move around fine on my own. If anything comes up, I’ll just ask someone for help.”
Freya glanced at Louis. He gave her a nod and reminded her of a few things before leaving. When he saw Sophia still standing nearby, he didn’t say much more–just turned and walked
off.
Sophia had been just about to say something else to get Louis to stay, but then it hit her. Wouldn’t that make it seem like Louis didn’t care that much about Freya?
If she made him stay, it would only give the two of them more time together..
Might as well let him leave now, I can come up with a better plan later. With that thought, Sophia dropped the subject and sat down beside Freya with an exaggerated warmth, smiling sweetly as she spoke.
“If you need anything, you have to let me know, okay? Don’t hold back or push yourself too hard. We’ve known each other for a while now, and it’s such a rare chance to be working on the same set.”
“Yeah, don’t worry. If I really need anything, I’ll call on you–I won’t be shy about it. By the way, what role are you guest–starring as?” Freya didn’t really know what else to say to Sophia, so she shifted the topic to work.
“Oh, I’m playing the previous High Priestess of the Demon Sect,” Sophia replied with a touch of helplessness in her tone. She would’ve preferred a role with more screen time, but her agent couldn’t secure one–nothing she could do.
Freya thought of the character’s image, then looked at Sophia; the mismatch was glaring The former High Priestess of the Demon Sect was born to seduce–cold and distant by nature, the kind who effortlessly drew people to their doom without caring in the slightest..
But Sophia, she had the classic aura of a saintly female lead–the kind who’d be better off playing a righteous holy maidén.
No, wait. Not a holy maiden–too little mystique. She’s more like a proper female lead. Having her play a seductive priestess? Maybe I just don’t see her potential as an actress. Or maybe the makeup artists

have some kind of face magic up their sleeves. Freya corrected herself.
She couldn’t figure out what Zane had been thinking.
“That’s still a great part,” Freya said. “Even though she doesn’t have a ton of scenes, the character has real depth and a unique presence–it’s the kind that sticks with people. If you play her right, she could easily become a fari favorite.”
She wasn’t just being polite–Freya meant it. That character held real weight in her mind. She’d spent a lot of time shaping her, more than even the main heroine. She loved that High
Priestess.
Sophia, on the other hand, didn’t buy it. In her opinion, acting was about screen time–plain and simple. That was the whole reason people fought over lead and supporting roles. No matter how good a cameo was, it couldn’t possibly compete with the constant presence of the leads.
To be fair, Sophia hadn’t had it easy. She’d originally worked in sales–average looks, average talent. Her last life had been completely ordinary, working during the day, getting humble- bragged at by customers, gossiping with girlfriends, reading webnovels, and shopping on weekends, Then a car accident sent her straight into the novel she’d just finished reading.
She’d never acted before. Never imagined she’d arrive in this world with over a million in her bank account. For an actress, it wasn’t a huge sum–but to someone who’d never been rich, it was life–changing.
She now had luxury handbags, designer clothes, and fans who actually liked her. Sure, she didn’t have that many followers, but it was the life she’d dreamed of. When she realized she’d become the novel’s female lead, the thrill and excitement were beyond words. Her life was finally headed for the top.
What she hadn’t realized was how brutally hard it was for someone with zero acting experience to actually be an actress. At first, she had no idea what she was doing and got scolded constantly. It was only through secretly practicing night after night that she barely managed to keep up.
But now that she’d relaxed, convinced she just needed to follow the storyline, Sophia still didn’t understand–acting wasn’t nearly as simple as she thought. Sure, saying lines was easy. But mastering expressions, hitting camera angles, interpreting characters–that was something actors had to grasp on their own, bit by bit.
What Freya had said earlier was the absolute truth. Whether a character won the audience over didn’t just depend on screen time–it hinged on the role’s allure. A strong supporting character could easily outshine the leads. Even a guest appearance could become the
