Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 203

Naturally, Emma refused to admit that she was bad at acting and said, “You’re just all talk. Come and do it yourself if you can!”

Soon, the director was notified of this matter. Unwilling to admit that the actress he handpicked was incompetent, he said with a cold expression, “Since you know so much, Miss Lynwood, why don’t you give us all a demonstration and let us have a look?”

Elspeth had never acted, and it was impressive enough for her to have some insight. However, making her act was a deliberate attempt to embarrass her.

Emma was certain that Elspeth couldn’t act as well, and she lifted her chin with a gleeful expression. Let’s see how she’ll turn the tables this time!

Yelena knew that Elspeth had no experience in acting and immediately stood in front of her. “You’re just being a bully now. Elspeth is an outsider. How would she know how to act?”

The director’s expression soured as he said, “I thought Miss Lynwood was here to start trouble by the way she talks, but I didn’t think she was just a cowardly chicken.”

Elspeth let out a small laugh. “I’m mostly afraid that the male lead wouldn’t be able to keep up.”

“The male lead is an award-winning actor whom I personally handpicked. The one who wouldn’t be able to keep up is you, isn’t it?” the director refuted, thinking that Elspeth was being too full of herself.

“All right, then. Let’s give it a go.”

Immediately, the director got to work and brought over a costume for Elspeth to put on.

However, she shook her head. “I don’t need a costume.”

“Without a costume, the male lead won’t be able to get into his role. I was just giving you a chance by giving you a costume, but you don’t even know what’s good for you.”

Feeling as if his good intentions had been looked down upon, the director grew upset.

Upon hearing the dispute between the two, the male lead walked over and looked at Elspeth with a gentle smile. The girl in front of him emitted an air of confidence, and it was much more reassuring than Emma’s pomposity. In fact, he was rather looking forward to Elspeth’s performance.

“Hello. I’m the male lead of this drama, Atlas White.”

Elspeth recognized him; he was an up-and-coming award-winning actor who was on par with Blake.

“Let’s start, then.” She reached out and took the script, flipping a page before she decided on a scene.

“Let’s do this part where the soldier is about to leave on a mission, and the female lead bids him farewell.”

Emma chortled. “Of course, you’re so confident. You chose the easiest part.”

Elspeth smiled without replying. Instead, she walked toward Atlas and asked with a soft voice, “Can we start now?”

Although they were the same person, Atlas had a feeling that she had already entered her role at the moment, and even her voice was filled with the meekness of a girl from the ancient past. With that in mind, he nodded in agreement.

Elspeth stared at him, her face filled with expectation as she asked, “Cassius, when will you return?”

Atlas furrowed his brow and lowered his head, his thoughts unreadable as he explained, “Deidre, you know that a soldier must protect his country…”

“Deidre knows that the country is more important to you than Deidre is, but Deidre can’t bear to let you go.”

As she spoke, tears began to roll down Elspeth’s face, wetting her shirt. Her tears coupled with her beauty made her a pitiful sight to behold.

Atlas immediately panicked. Upon seeing her tears, he felt his heart ache. “Apologies, Deidre. I…”
