Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match 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…”Before he could finish, a thin hand sealed his lips.“Please don’t forget about Deidre.”At that, Elspeth All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

dropped into a bow with red eyes.“Deidre asks for nothing except three things. One, for you to have a

long life; two, for your name to spread across lands; and three, that Cassius won’t forget about Deidre,

that we will one day meet again.” These words and Elspeth’s tear-ridden face made Atlas step forward

and wrap his arms around her waist immediately. “I won’t leave anymore. I’ll stay, even if I have to give

up my name!”Elspeth slowly pushed him away, her expression returning to normal and even carrying a

hint of a smile as she said, “Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. White.”The sight was a feast for the

eyes, and none of them was able to extract themselves from the farewell they had just witnessed.“Cut!”

The director was the first to return to his senses and called for a halt.As if awakening from a long

slumber, Atlas realized what he had just said and done, and he immediately flushed red.“Atlas, what’s

wrong with you? Your lines were supposed to be ‘I understand. Await my return, and I shall make you

my wife then.’ What the heck did you say just now?” The director was unhappy with Atlas’ mistake and

frowned.“I’m sorry, director. Miss Lynwood’s acting was so good that I couldn’t hold myself back.”

Knowing that his skills were not a match for hers, Atlas rubbed the back of his head

embarrassedly.“Please don’t say that. You’re great at acting too, Mr. White.”However, her intention was

not to exchange praises with Atlas. She looked at Emma behind her, whose eyes were wide with

disbelief.How could it be? How could Elspeth be so good at acting? She refused to believe it!Clearly

seeing Emma’s doubts, Elspeth smiled and said, “Although I have not undergone any professional

training, I know how to express my feelings with my actions. Once you’ve mastered the true essence of

acting, as long as you can memorize the script and aren’t afraid of the stage, it’s impossible not to act

well.”At her speech, Emma was at a loss for words. As a trained professional, being criticized by a

mere layman made her head heavy with shame.Upon seeing Emma’s defiant look, Elspeth smiled and

said, “By the way, I’m not completely clueless to professional knowledge. When I was living abroad, I

met someone called Payton Schwartz, who took me in as his apprentice and taught me much of what I

know.”Elspeth had not wanted to learn acting either. And to be honest, she was not interested in acting

at all. However, Payton was Sonny’s brother, and when he saw that she was studying medicine, he

was unhappy with her for being biased and insisted that she learned to act, so she was forced to learn

a lot about acting.Payton Schwartz?Hearing that, the director perked up and abandoned the furious

Emma to ask, “Are you talking about the acting professor from Konig University, Payton

Schwartz?”Payton only accepted five students a year, and those who were able to receive his guidance

were mostly outstanding actors or at least movie stars. Payton had only one apprentice in his life, who

was so well protected that no one knew who that lucky person was. He had never thought that it would

be the girl in front of him.Immediately thinking that he had greatly misjudged her, the director asked

with a flattering grin, “Miss Lynwood, are you interested in this show? I’ll give you the role of the second

female lead. What do you think?”Elspeth shook her head pridefully. “I don’t want it.”“Then… The female

lead! I’ll let you be the female lead!”The director couldn’t resist inviting Elspeth into the cast. After all, if

she agreed to take part, they wouldn’t have to do much to promote the show. All they had to do was

say that Elspeth was Payton’s apprentice, and thousands of people would be there to watch the show.

This was the greatest benefit to him.Instantly, Emma grew upset. Looking at the director’s shameless

attitude, she said angrily, “Director, I’m the chosen female lead right now. How could you simply give up

the role to someone else? If you insist on doing this, I’ll tell Callum to withdraw his funds!”The director

looked troubled, all of a sudden at a loss for what to do.
