Spoiled by the Silver Fox

The two-day break went by in a blink of an eye, and Stephanie was back on set. Emmert heaved a sigh of relief when he saw she was back to normal.

Sullivan asked her, "How did you manage to snap out of character?"

Stephanie replied truthfully, "My mom used all sorts of methods, from spanking me to scaring me. It helped me get back to normal."

"So, the most important person in your life is your mom?" Sullivan's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"Yup, before I met Sebastian, it was just me and my mom. The best and worst times, we went through them together. After meeting Sebastian, he also became an important person in my life." Sullivan nodded. "Having a mom... must be nice."

"Huh? Sullivan, don't you have a mom?"

Sullivan said flatly, "I don't have one."

"Sebastian doesn't either. But I asked my mom to be his mom too, and she's really good to him. Sullivan, you'll meet someone who's willing to share her mom with you."

"Will I...?" He didn't dare to hope. He wasn't as lucky as Sebastian. The chance to meet someone who would share a mom with, and someone he liked at that, he might never get that chance. Even if he did meet someone, they might not be the person he needed. Because Rebecca also didn't have a mom. She was pretty pitiful too. She wasn't living any better than he was.

"You definitely will! Oh, and Sullivan, you taught me how to get into character, I've made some progress. I've seen the footage Emmert shot, and acting with your method looks really natural. Even I think I did a great job."

Sullivan smiled and said, "Really?"

"Yeah, but the only problem is, it's easy to get into character, but hard to snap back to reality. Sullivan, how do you manage to get back to reality so quickly?"

"Do it enough times, and it gets easier. Everything is hardest at the beginning."

"Sullivan, have you ever done anything out of line because you couldn't snap back to reality?"

Emmert chimed in, "He once declared himself king in the middle of the street, asking everyone who they were and if they were there to attack him. Does that count?"

"Haha. Really? Emmert!"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Sullivan looked at Emmert, a look of embarrassment on his face. "That was a long time ago, Emmert, you still remember?"

"That's something I can't forget. It

was probably about a decade ago, back when you were still playing kings. I wasn't even interested in sci-fi back then."

"Wow! Emmert, Sullivan, you guys started working together so early."

"Of course, I made him famous! How else would he be such a well-known actor now?"

Sullivan retorted, "What? Isn't it because my acting is so good, that's why your movies are so popular?"

"You little brat, it was me who gave you the chance to act and made you famous!"

"I got famous on my own!"

"Hahaha, okay, Emmert. Sullivan, stop arguing! You both did great!"

f

"You don't know anything, there are many roles young people can play, but as he gets older, the types of roles he can play have definitely decreased. If I wasn't willing to cast him and pay him the high salary, who would hire him?"

Sullivan nodded. "Alright, that's true."

"Really? Even a famous actor like him could run out of roles?"

"The problem isn't that there are no roles. It's that no one can afford his salary!"
