When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 424

"It's fine, how was practice this afternoon?"

"Well, we were supposed to train, but the production team needed us for filming, teaching us all how to coordinate our scenes, so no training today."

Lemira's mood visibly cooled.

Caspian was definitely doing this on purpose. He knew the team had big plans for next year's competitions, and everyone was squeezing practice into their already tight schedules.

Their practice time was precious as it was.

Just then, Caspian strolled in: "Everyone ready? Just do what we went over earlier."

Lemira, with a stern face, looked at Caspian: "When will we wrap up?"

"That depends on how well everyone works together, and the actors' performance."

Caspian appeared unfazed, as if the earlier discussion hadn't happened: "If your performance is lacking, it might take longer. We might even have to continue tomorrow."

Lemira felt irritated: "I recall there are only two scenes, one here and another outdoors."

"Correct. You might want to go over your lines now. We'll start with the leads' scenes."

Lemira went back to her office to fetch the script. Having written scripts before, diving into this one wasn't too hard for her.

When she returned to the lobby, Caspian said, "We're starting. You ready?"

"Yeah."

Lemira took her place. Her role was simple, playing the team captain but as an antagonist who looks down on the female lead, only to be proven wrong in the end.

Her character was to duel with Evelina's in-game character.

But during their duel, Evelina's character quickly met her demise.

Evelina, looking forlorn, said, "Lemmy, it's just a scene. You gotta pull your punches a bit, or how are we going to film this?"

Caspian calmly intervened: "Let's take it from the top."

Evelina's eyes gleamed with a hint of triumph, finally besting Lemira, at least once.
