Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Galilea located a seat and gracefully seated herself.
A quietude descended upon the room, slowly congealing into an atmosphere of tense anticipation.
The veteran actor took the initiative to start the conversation. Although their discourse appeared to maintain a veneer of
superficiality and formality, it did serve to inject a modicum of vitality into the gathering.
Sabrina couldn’t help but ponder whether this prevailing ambiance was a customary feature within these exclusive circles.
Despite their shared professional designation, their interactions deviated markedly from those of ordinary individuals, forever on
guard against the Looming specter of conflicting interests that could swiftly transform them into adversaries.
The others arrived at about 10:00 a.m.. In a show of respect, everyone in the room rose to offer their greetings.
Among the newly arrived individuals were the director, accompanied by two assistant directors and the esteemed scriptwriter.
Sabrina’s eyes widened with astonishment as she noted the presence of a man among them.
Of the two assistant directors, one happened to be the very man featured in the video sent to her by Darren. His name was
Rowell Jackson, who had spent the night at Galilea’s villa.
By sheer happenstance, the man’s gaze intersected with Sabrina’s, subjecting her to an almost predatory scrutiny.
The director, upon catching sight of Galilea, registered a visible surprise, his gaze briefly alighting upon Rowell, yet he opted for
silence.
The director remained deeply engrossed in overseeing the final stages of current production, with responsibilities spanning from
monitoring editing to dubbing processes. Consequently, the preparatory groundwork and role selection for the upcoming project
fell under the purview of the two assistant directors.
The team he currently worked with had a shared history with Camden’s crew. During their sporadic visits to Camden’s set, he
had observed Galilea in action. Camden was known for his gracious demeanor. If he were in the director’s shoes, he would not
call cut for Galilea’s performance.
This director, a certain Peter Vance, enjoyed a longstanding friendship with Camden, marking their connection as that of old
comrades.

Following the customary introductions, Peter took the proactive step of ushering everyone to their respective seats.
It wasn’t until that moment that his gaze alighted upon Sabrina. His inquisitive glances couldn’t help but return to her repeatedly.
Wasn’t she originally a stand-in for Galilea?
How did Sabrina find herself in the role of Galilea’s assistant?
The assembled ensemble of actors and actresses gathered around the table, each clutching a script, ready to delve into its
contents.
It was widely acknowledged that scripts were typically reserved for perusal in the interim between role selection and the
commencement of shooting. This intermission could span anywhere from a fortnight to a couple of months.
However, there existed an alternative scenario where scripts were dissected before roles were officially assigned. Occasionally,
two competing actors vying for the same part would engage in a joint reading, and this was precisely the circumstance unfolding
now
In essence, the cast had not yet been definitively decided.
But, Galilea stood as the sole contender for the role of the second leading actress.
