The self-proclaimed amateur champion snorted disdainfully as he watched. To him, Nancy's performance was nothing impressive. Perhaps this 'Vivian' was simply lucky.
However, Nancy's subsequent actions left him utterly speechless.
Instead of indicating for Director Grant to cut the scene after pocketing the first ball, she casually walked over to the cue ball. Leisurely glancing at the ball lined up with the middle pocket, she bent over, set up her shot, and with a smooth 'thud', the blue ball was pocketed.
The cue ball rolled back, stopping perfectly for the next shot.
Seeing the straight line between the cue ball, the red ball, and the pocket, Nancy made her shot.
The ball rolled in, the cue ball returning to a position not too far from the green ball. Another bend, another shot, and another success.
The silence was palpable. Every onlooker held their breath, their gaze fixed on Nancy.
The last red ball!
Just as Director Grant had instructed, Nancy's cue ball was ideally placed.
She glanced at the red ball, her head tilting slightly as a confident smile spread on her lips. Then, with everyone watching, she casually perched herself on the edge of the table, the cue stick making its way around her back.
Leaning back, her eyes zeroed in on the red ball. With a forceful push, the cue ball shot out, hitting the red ball which obediently rolled into the pocket.
