Ashley wryly smiled and said, "I'm not that famous anymore. In fact, even if I become your teacher, apart from teaching you some things, I can't help you with anything else. I've lost contact with some of my connections in the industry, and they might even think I'm already dead."
"That doesn't matter, Ms. Morris. I don't know what you've gone through, but everything will get better in the future!
My mom used to be as pessimistic as you, always afraid something bad would happen to her, and I'd be left alone. But in the end, we got through it, didn't we? As long as we're alive, we must be full of hope! We'll all be fine in the future." Said Stephanie.
Ashley felt as if a glimmer of light had illuminated her gloomy life. That light was very warm.
When the two of them came out of the room, the atmosphere between them was especially good.
Stephanie excitedly ran to Gillian and jumped around gleefully, said, "Gillian, Ms. Morris accepted me as a student! I have an award-winning actress as my mentor now!!"
Gillian's eyes lit up, and she sincerely congratulated her, "Oh my God! Congrats, Steph!"
Over the past few days, she had witnessed Ashley's superb acting skills and had learned quite a few useful things.
The two of them were initially not confident about their first acting job, but now they were confident in doing well.
All this had happened in just a week, which was more than enough to show how awesome Ashley was. Even learning a little bit from her was enough to prepare them to take on a role.
Seeing how genuinely happy Stephanie was, Ashley couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, let's eat first. After eating, I'll walk you guys down. Remember not to tell anyone that I'm your mentor, okay? Otherwise, it'll bring you trouble. Got it?"
Stephanie nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Morris! I promise I won't say anything!"
Gillian took it seriously, "Don't worry! I'll keep it a secret too!"
"Gillian, you're a good girl too." Said Ashley.
