"Yes, I know that path." Just as Clara finished speaking, Director Keane, who was standing in the center, spoke up. "That path may be a shortcut, but it's remote and difficult to traverse. Never mind a delicate girl who likes to stay clean—even a grown man would find it a bit dangerous and hard to find a foothold."
As he spoke, he gave Clara an approving smile and nod, then continued, "Clara, the fact that you were brave enough to take that path, without a care for your appearance, just to make it to the booting ceremony on time, shows commendable courage and admirable professionalism."
Director Keane's words instantly flipped the script. In everyone's eyes, Clara's image transformed from an arrogant, big-shot wannabe who didn't know her place into a punctual, professional, humble, and well-behaved actress.
Who would dare disrespect Director Keane? The moment he finished speaking, the cast and crew broke into applause for Clara.
