Chapter 138 Amateur Pool Champion Chapter 138 Amateur Pool Champion 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. Looking towards Director Grant with a puzzled expression, she questioned, "Director Grant, who is 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." Pausing for a moment, he added with a polite smile, "Don't take it the wrong way, Vivian. I'm not saying you're bad at pool. But City Nustin is a small place, and we really don't know what the standard of the reigning 'Angel' is. So just for our film quality, you understand, right?" Nancy did understand. She was generally easygoing, seldom taking offense unless deliberately provoked.

"Vivian, the pool balls are already arranged on the table. I won't bore you with the basics. According to the script, you hit the red ball in the bottom left corner with the cue ball first. Once the red ball is pocketed, hit the blue ball in the middle pocket, and then the red near the center pocket. After that ball is pocketed, hit the green ball in the semicircle, and finally hit the red ball near the side of the table with a back shot." The director's detailed instructions left sbystanders bewildered, but Nancy nodded attentively, "Alright, I'll do my best." "Hmph..." The amateur champion, seated across, snorted disdainfully, "Do you think this is something you can do 'your best' at?" Nancy shot him a frosty glance. After all, she wasn't inclined to smile at someone who was prejudiced against her.
Sensing tension brewing, Director Grant rose to his feet, chuckling, No worries, Vivian. Just try your best. It doesn't matter if you pocket the balls or not." Raising an eyebrow, Nancy flashed Director Grant a knowing smile and then picked up her cue stick and approached the pool table. Seeing her ready, Director Grant called out loudly, "Action!" Nancy calmly surveyed the table. As Director Grant had said, the balls were already set up. All she had to do was follow his instructions.
So, without any hesitation, she bent over, resting the cue on her fingers, took a glance, and then forcefully shot the white cue ball. With a 'thud', it hit the red ball in the bottom left corner. The red ball rolled and dropped into the pocket.
