Faye Lister smiled charmingly, "Master Gregory rarely praises people. To get your praise is a greater joy for than anything else."
Gregory Penway turned to look at her. Although his face was still serious and rigid, his eyes were gentle, "When you do well, of course I will praise you. Your acting has improved a lot since two years ago."
"Now just with one look, you can tell what I want to express."
"Really?" Faye bent the corner of her eyes, "If Master Gregory keeps praising like this, I might beco too proud."
"You can be proud." Gregory’s usually harsh mouth was very friendly to Faye, "You have the capital to be proud."
"Alright, alright." Faye made a "stop" gesture with a beaming smile, "Master Gregory, don’t praise anymore. I can’t stand being praised. If you keep praising and I get carried away, I might ss up my acting next ti."
"Then, you’ll have to scold again. I don’t want to be scolded by you."
Gregory Penway hesitated for a mont, opened his mouth to say sothing, but saw Faye turn around and walk towards the director.
She went to watch the playback just now.
Gregory watched her graceful and slender figure, swallowing back the words he was about to say.
He stood there for a few seconds and then followed to the director to watch the playback as well.

The second scene was in the afternoon.
Joanna Lawrence had opposing scenes with both Gregory Penway and Faye Lister.
At lunch, Linda specifically told her, "Joanna, do you have an opposing scene with Gregory Penway this afternoon? I heard that he is very demanding on the actors acting with him and it’s rare for anyone to satisfy him in one go. If he thinks you aren’t doing well and you NG too many tis, wasting his ti, he might scold you in person."
"He’s just that kind of person, and more than a few actresses have been reduced to tears by him. So if he scolds you or sothing, don’t take it to heart. Just think that he’s going through a mid-life crisis and can’t control his temper."
Linda explained this specifically because she was worried that Joanna might not be able to handle Gregory’s temper.
If they end up arguing later...
Although she thought that Joanna wouldn’t do that, she still felt it was safer to explain beforehand.
Joanna’s negative news had just died down not long ago.
The higher her popularity now, the more anti-fans would be secretly watching her.
As long as she made a slightest mistake, those anti-fans would grab the chance to make a big deal out of it.
"Linda, don’t worry, I have also learned about Master Gregory’s character. In fact, I hope he will be harsh on ." Joanna Lawrence knew that Linda was worried about her and Gregory’s relationship, so she said these words.
But Linda was definitely overthinking.
Others might be afraid of having opposing scenes with Gregory.
But Joanna Lawrence wasn’t scared at all.
She was even looking forward to the opposing scene this afternoon.
She wanted to know what Gregory thought of her acting.
For her, getting Gregory’s feedback, even if it was criticism, was valuable advice.
Only with criticism can there be progress.
"You hope he is harsh on you?" Linda thought she heard wrongly.
"Yes." Joanna nodded, "Though he’s harsh, he’s not only harsh on others, but also on himself. Working with such a person in an opposing scene, I’m sure I can learn a lot of useful things and find out my own shortcomings."
