Even though her agent wasn't around, her words echoed in Hannah's ears like a warning. Hannah jolted, pulling back the fork she was about to reach out with. She had already eaten a thick piece of roast meat, and absolutely couldn't eat a second piece. The thought of eating three plates like Cornelia was something Hannah didn't even dare to imagine.
Seeing this, Pandora didn't say anything and got up to go to the kitchen.
Before long, the sound of chopping came from the kitchen. Hannah craned her neck and asked, "Mom, are you making more food?"
Pandora didn't respond, but not too long after, she brought out a plate of specially treated food. She said, "I've soaked this dish to remove most of the salt, and I've removed all the fat. It's low in both fat and salt. Eating this won't affect your diet much."
To Pandora, Hannah was already very thin. If she lost any more weight, she'd be as thin as a stick. But for the sake of her job, she was still dieting every day, restricting what she could and couldn't eat. The thought of it made Pandora's heart ache, but there was nothing she could do to help.
Unable to reject Pandora's good intentions, Hannah put a small piece of roast meat in her mouth and chewed slowly.
To be honest, she preferred the original taste of roast meat, as it was more flavorful. But this treated roast meat was also quite good, at least better than what was served in restaurants outside. Hannah was tempted to eat more, but the thought of having to play a beauty after the break, and that any extra fat would affect the audience's viewing experience, made her hold back.
Pandora said unhappily, "Nowadays, people's demands on female actresses are too harsh. If they gain a little weight, they'll be attacked maliciously."
The last time someone said that Hannah was as fat as a cow, Pandora was upset for a long time. It was understandable for her to vent in front of Hannah now.
But Hannah immediately stopped Pandora's words, "Mom, you must never say these things outside, or it could cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, I'm an actress, and one film can earn me more than many people earn in their lifetime. Keeping in shape for my roles is basic common sense, there's nothing to complain about."
Although Pandora understood this, she still felt bad for Hannah.
