Nancy was quite certain she had never met the man before. He had not appeared at the banquet that night nor during the filming of the past few days. She hadn't the slightest clue what she could've done to offend him.

Director Grant let out a hearty laugh, patting his belly, "Ah, Vivian, here's the thing. You’re a hobbyist, not a professional. So, for the sake of the film’s quality, I specially hired this gentleman, an amateur pool champion."

The director's detailed instructions left some bystanders bewildered, but Nancy nodded attentively, "Alright, I'll do my best."
