But Sawyer still took a risk.

No matter how good Aurelia Shaw's acting is, no matter how much she can transform, she can only play one character.

A play, or even a novel, cannot be sustained by just one character.

To maintain secrecy before the show, only a few important crew members were present on the set.

Aurelia Shaw dressed in black, pointed her sharp sword to the ground, her exquisite face showing only cold hues, and her pale eyes devoid of any emotion, seemingly viewing everything as lifeless.

Suddenly, she saw someone.

Her emotionless pale eyes stirred with a barely noticeable emotion, her gaze quietly following that person's movements.

People were curious about who caught her attention.

But following her gaze, they only saw the lighting used for the shoot.

At that moment, people suddenly realized they were shooting portraits; they had been drawn into the act by Aurelia Shaw.

"The emotion is spot on, keep shooting like this." After finishing a series of photos, Sawyer embraced the results with satisfaction, unable to take his eyes off them.

Jackson Xander, blushing, came over to greet them, "Aurelia… Aurelia..."

Jackson Xander is the artist she newly signed. Since the drama being shot is her company's, naturally, they would use the company's artists.

Aurelia Shaw patted his shoulder, "Keep it up, I believe in you."

It was just a very ordinary sentence, but for a newcomer, it was the greatest encouragement.

"Shoot well, I will provide as many resources as possible, but you must also improve yourself. In the vast entertainment industry, luck alone is not enough, you need to have real talent to truly establish yourself." She hoped that all her company's artists understood this.

She had seen too many artists relying solely on their looks and character setups from a drama.

For these people, everything goes smoothly at best, but if something happens, they would collapse, lacking the capital to start over.

"I… I will definitely work hard!" Jackson Xander said.

He never imagined he could become the main character in a drama.

"Aurelia Shaw, it's time for your photo with Jackson Xander," Sawyer called over.

"Coming," Aurelia Shaw responded, then turned to Jackson Xander and said, "Let's go. Don't be pressured later, just act naturally."

...

A refined and elegant man sat in a chair, with a chessboard positioned before him, his fingers holding a white chess piece, as he wore a light smile.

Behind him in the shadows hid a black-clad figure, charming yet dangerous, pale eyes watching the man in the chair, with a seemingly hidden shimmer in the cold gaze.

The second picture.

Jackson Xander pulled Aurelia Shaw into his arms, his face slowly moving towards hers… a motion to kiss.

Aurelia Shaw felt the stiff, slightly trembling arm around her waist, the man's face tinged with faint red, "Don't be nervous," she whispered, avoiding the camera.

"Oh..."

As the word fell, Sawyer's discontented voice echoed: "Jackson Xander, pay attention to your facial expressions, aloofness, do you know what aloofness is? Revealing a detached indifference beneath refinement.

I know Aurelia Shaw is very attractive, but we are shooting portraits now, understand?"

"Sorry… sorry."

"It's okay, don't be nervous, let's try again." Aurelia Shaw reassured him, always patient with newcomers.

The photographer sighed, lifting the camera again.

A silhouette appeared at the door.

His hand wrapped around Aurelia Shaw's waist again, as she lifted her light eyes, suddenly feeling a strong gaze land on her. She furrowed her brows but didn't pay much attention.
