Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 452

Veronica believed Stephen's words as much as she doubted them.

Larry shrugged before speaking in English, "Don't ask me. I don’t know. Johansson and Stephen are friends. I don't really know what goes on between them."

Seeing the two of them talking about secrets openly, Stephen spread his hands curiously and asked, "What little secrets are you chatting about?"

"No, it's nothing. I was just asking him if my abilities will disappoint." Veronica didn't tell him the truth.

However, the men still explained some basic skills and methods to her.

Half an hour later, the production assistant came over and called her for the audition.

She was a nervous wreck by then.

She might only have three lines, but it was possible that she wouldn't even have the chance to read her dialogue during the audition.

After entering the studio, Veronica nervously balled her hands and pursed her lips, falling into utter silence.

When Larry noticed this, he put his arm around her shoulders and without caring about how others might look at them, whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous. Just let go. Remember this—if you perform well today, and on top of having Johansson and Stephen's support, it will be easy for you to get into the industry in the future."

"I wasn't nervous at first, but you sound like you are saying that I won't have the chance to join the industry if I screw up today," Veronica uttered, only half-jokingly.

"Nah, it won't be that bad." His hand on her shoulders played with her hair.

"With your beauty, you can still earn your keep even without any acting skills."

To be honest, Veronica had never thought that she would be able to act one day.

Her modeling career was only a part-time gig as well. It really was an unexpected surprise for her to be given a shot at acting.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't thrilled about it.

After she walked in front of Johansson, the director asked her with an indifferent expression, "Are you

ready?"

That sharp look of his made her gulp involuntarily as a chill ran down her spine. "Mm. Ready as I'll ever be."

"Alright, then. Give it a go." He nodded.

With that, everyone stepped aside to give her space.

At that point, Stephen walked up to her. "I am glad to have another opportunity to fight with you. You have to go easy on me, okay?"

"Don't say that. I am just average," she denied. She wasn't used to compliments for fear that she would become conceited.

"Let's begin."

As soon as the director said that, Stephen immediately turned serious as the smile on his face faded. "Are you Ghislain's last trump card?"

Ghislain was the villain in this movie, and the plot here was already close to the finale.

All of Ghislain's subordinates were either dead or injured, and only his personal bodyguard, Stana, still stood strong.

"Cut the crap!"

Veronica was utterly nervous to the core. She did exactly as Stephen and Larry had told her about making her voice cruel and her eyes murderous. After she threw that one sentence out at the top of her lungs, she unhesitantly bolted toward Stephen.

Next up was the fight scene between the duo. However, as they both were skilled at fighting, there was nothing the martial arts instructor could guide them on.

The fight between the two was in full swing, and it rendered everyone stunned. They didn't forget to applaud during the more exciting parts. Even the director was caught off-guard by Veronica's amazing skills.

"This is great! Where did they find someone like her?" As he watched from the side, he started chatting with the martial arts instructor who sat beside him.

The instructor only had a confused look on his face when he replied, "I don't know this beautiful lady, but she is good. Her every attack is solid. I think Stephen might not even be her match.”
