Olive nodded helplessly, following the script and the assistant director’s request to fire at the stool, even the assistant director, who had just been dodging, had a few more moments of admiration in his eyes.
Only after the performance, the assistant director brought the sheet of paper over again and patted Olive’s shoulder: “Really very good acting, this must be no problem now.”
Olive smiled politely and nodded, but the doubts in her heart deepened, the audition was very rushed and the emotional requirements were rather extreme, she had never seen such requirements in all her acting days.
But Olive still gathered her mood and went to shoot immediately. In the morning, everyone in the crew was lazy, and Mr. Laas was so anxious with his loud speaker that Olive didn’t find a chance to talk to him.
With the end of the day’s work, Olive also did not go to ask what is going on, but at this time, she also forgot about this matter almost, packed up, full of ideas are to go to where to eat again.
At this time, Mr. Laas came over with the script, Olive looked at him, then suddenly remembered what happened during the day, and quickly waved her hand and shouted: “Director!”
Olive’s voice, Mr. Laas froze, and then greeted softly: “Olive, why are you still here at this late hour?”
Olive’s heart pondered for a moment before looking at Mr. Laas with doubts and saying, “Director, actually I have some things that I don’t understand, so I want to ask you a few questions.”
When Olive finished speaking, she moved closer to the director.
“Yoo-hoo, the little girl is still polite with me, all right, if you don’t understand anything, then hurry up and say it.”
Mr. Laas raised his hand and stroked the scruff on his chin, he was really made to laugh by Olive’s appearance.
Olive nodded her head and was relieved, she was worried that Mr. Laas was in a hurry and didn’t have time to talk to her.
When he saw that no one was around, he said, “Director, I just want to ask about the audition this morning, what happened? I didn’t hear anything about a new scene for me in advance. And that scene was so strange, was it a test for me?”
The expression on Mr. Laas’ face stiffened for a moment before he looked at Olive with confusion and said, “You mean this morning? You don’t even know how busy the crew was this morning, how could I have time to find you for any audition?”
After Mr. Laas finished, he took a deep breath and added, “Olive, have you not been resting well lately and your mind is confused and misremembering things?”
Olive had a strong feeling in her heart that this was definitely not a simple audition, Mr. Laas’s words were like throwing a stone on a calm lake, causing Olive to be distracted by the splash.
No wonder, this morning she felt that the assistant director is strange, look very panic. It seems that there is indeed something unseemly behind this.
“No director, the assistant director did approach me this morning and asked me to try a scene, the kind of angry at people, and said that you arranged it, the angrier the performance, the better …”
Mr. Laas squeezed the line book in his hand, the expression on his face was full of the word serious, he said sternly: “How is it possible? I have no knowledge of this matter, you hurry to ask him, is not he gave a mistake.”
Olive saw the look on Mr. Laas’s face, a heart in her throat, like Mr. Laas such a frank and upright person, simply will not say anything false, and there is no need to lie to her, at this moment she has come to understand in her heart, this is definitely the assistant director in the middle of trouble, must quickly understand the oddities here, did not dare to say more to the director, busy and went to the set.
Olive did not dare to stop at all, the more I thought about the morning, the more strange I felt, I also felt restless, I must immediately rush to the set, find the assistant director to ask a clear.
But often things don’t go as planned. By the time Olive arrived at the set, where was the shadow of anyone? The assistant director should have left a long time ago.
Olive sat on the side, like a deflated ball, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, but there was nothing she could do now, the crew was almost turned upside down by her. She had no choice but to pack up her things and go to the hotel. Now she could only silently pray that she could meet the assistant director in the hotel, after all, the staff were staying in the same hotel.
When Olive returned to the hotel, she still did not see the shadow of the assistant director. It was as if such a big person had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of him.
Olive went back to her room and collapsed on the bed looking at the ceiling. She didn’t know who she could talk to about this, and became a bit agitated, but she couldn’t think of anything or anyone that could be related to the assistant director.
Olive got up and wanted to go to the window to blow the wind to calm down. Just as she sat down by the window, before she could think about the whole thing, her phone vibrated in her bag.
It was an unfamiliar number, and the alert was for Central Hospital.
Olive pressed the answer button: “Hello, hello.”
“Hello, is this the family of Ms. Tatum? The patient’s test report is now available and the doctor would like to speak with your family in person.”
“Now? Yes, I’ll be right over.”
Olive hung up the phone, rushed to Central Hospital with her bag, and it was a good thing she remembered the office of the doctor who had examined Tatum this afternoon.
“The patient’s test report is already out, but I still hope your family can be mentally prepared, after all, her health condition is already very bad.”
Olive’s breathing became heavy after hearing this, could Tatum be suffering from some incurable disease?
The doctor nodded and casually flipped through the examination report and continued, “The patient’s condition is not too optimistic, it looks like the problem should not have appeared recently, it is now at an advanced stage, and the diagnosis of stomach cancer is confirmed.”
Olive almost fell on her heels, her whole brain buzzing.
The doctor had seen a lot of this kind of situation, and had long been indifferent to the life and death of people, so he simply said a few words of comfort to Olive and handed her the examination report.
Olive five fingers stiffly took the report card, did not say anything more, just politely said thank you to the doctor, and then walked out of the doctor’s office.
However, she just acted so stunned, but because it all came a little too suddenly, Olive and Tatum two people simply can not talk about any relationship. Even after years of living together, there was no trace of love to speak of, and all that was left in the heart for Olive was resentment. If you want to talk about any mother-daughter love, that is simply a big joke.
