Nathalie looked at Emanuel and said, "I do care about my career, but I won't limit myself to it. Right now, I make a living off of my fans. Maybe being in a relationship will have some impact on me. It might disappoint some people or even lead to attacks against me. But the truth is, I don't really care."
Emanuel felt heartbroken just hearing that someone might attack Nathalie.
Sensing his distress, Nathalie gave him a reassuring smile.
"Do you know why I took three years off work to go back to school?" she continued.
Emanuel didn't answer.
"It's because I don't want to be just an idol or a female star," Nathalie explained. "Those are all titles given by others who like me and can easily take them away when they don't like me anymore. But the skills I've learned are what keep me going in this industry. I simply enjoy being an actress and not being worshipped or making money in showbiz."
"So, I study in peace for three years. When senior year begins, I'll go back to filming. At that time, I can honestly say that I really is an actress."
Emanuel was deeply moved by her words.
It was the first time he had heard Nathalie talk about her dream of becoming an actress so passionately.
But after listening to her story, Emanuel blamed himself even more for not confessing his feelings earlier or waiting for a better time instead of adding pressure on Nathalie while she was still working hard towards her future career goals.
Nathalie noticed Emanuel's expression and understood what he was thinking right away.
Feeling helpless herself now, she reached out and held his hand saying, "I told you all this not because you should feel bad for putting pressure on me, but I'm not feeling bad myself."
