"I don’t mind doing the stunts," said Kael.


    Selene stared at him, giving him a puzzled reaction.


    "It isn’t safe."


    "A rope will be attached to the waist to prevent you from falling. We have to make it real which is why the actors are doing their stunts," the director implied, giving Selene an exasperated expression that had her frown even deeper.


    Kael nced between the director and Selene before he intervened.


    "If Ms. Selene is notfortable doing the stunts, there shouldn’t be a problem getting a stunt double right?" He asked, also wondering why it was so difficult for the director to just get a stunt double.


    Professionals were better at doing the stunts.


    The director sighed, turned to Selene, and changed his whole demeanor as if he wasn’t ring at Selene a second ago.


    "We are not getting a stunt double. We want the movie to look real. The other actors have agreed, only Ms. Selene is rejecting the idea," he exined.


    He didn’t like the fact she was arguing with him. If she got injured, she would be taken to the hospital and treated. It was that simple for him to think.


    He chewed on the gum in his mouth, while ring at Selene.


    "Huh... because maybe when I fall off a building, I won’t be able to survive it," she reasoned.


    It wasn’t difficult for director Jeunes to agree to get stunt doubles for her role in <i>The Sinner</i>. He was the one who had suggested it. But this director before her wanted her to waste her one lifeline for one movie. She wasn’t a cat with nine lives.


    She had heard how the actors in the movies he’d directed always ended up with injuries, injuries that could have been prevented.


    Not only that, she had seen on social media how actors who didn’t take precautions while doing their stunts had broken their bones. Some were in aa while some died.


    "We will practice before the scene is shot," the director responded then left the both of them, already tired of arguing with her.


    She made his blood boil since no actor had spoken against him like that.


    He was a renowned director and actors begged him just so that they could have a role in his movies. And here she was, telling him what to do and what not to do.


    Selene red at his back, already sensing he would bring her trouble.


    "Don’t worry Selene, you got this. You just need practice and you will get a hang of it," Kael tried to cheer her up.


    She stared at him for a few seconds before she revealed a small smile.


    "No amount of practice will make me be able to jump over a bus or flip over a building in a few days."


    Kael chuckled lightly.


    "I will try to convince the director," he replied.


    Somehow, Kael’s reply made Selene feel insignificantpared to the other actors.


    She hadst trained with Xavier two months ago before she went on the movie tour. She would do a daily workout to keep her body fit, even though she wasn’t lifting weights like she did back then.


    Still, she couldn’t help but wonder how they would be doing such stunts.


    Either way, it was too dangerous.


    Meanwhile, the director Selene had just finished speaking with a cigarette he held with his lip and puffed the smoke out.


    "Just because the first movie she starred in gave her little poprity, she has no right to teach me how to direct a movie," heined, puffing another amount of smoke again as he red at Selene, who was still talking with Kael.


    "All these newbie actresses," the man who was seated near the director added. "They think they know it all. The other actors who have done their stunts didn’tin. Why should shein?"


    He tapped the director on the shoulder, asking for a cigarette which was given to him immediately.


    "This is my movie, and I will direct it however I want. Just because she’s associated with Xavier Wace doesn’t scare me. If she doesn’t like how things are being run here, she can just quit and I will rece her immediately," the director huffed.
