A Graduation Gift

Cassandra bit her lip to hold back her tears. The sadness of Lyndsy and her family filled the whole room.

She never really cried for herself, but she tended to cry a lot for others. Rufus clenched his fists as he watched Cassandra suffer quietly.

"Please get well, Lyndsy. Take care of yourself, because you still have a film to shoot. We've only done half the scenes. I will instruct the crew to finish other people's parts first. We can shoot your parts when you recover,"

Rufus spoke suddenly. Lyndsy and her mother stopped crying abruptly upon hearing his words.

She looked at Rufus incredulously with tears in her eyes. Cassandra turned her head too, confused about what Rufus just said.

Keep shooting? How could she shoot a movie with a face like that?

Rufus, fully aware of everyone's confusion, remained calm.

"We'll ask the director to modify the angles. We just have to avoid shooting from the front. We can also edit the shots later. Don't worry, everything can be fixed digitally. All you have to do is focus on your recovery," he explained.

His words seemed to reassure Lyndsy's mother as she turned to her daughter happily.

"Did you hear that, honey?! You can keep shooting movies!" she beamed.

Stunned, Lyndsy kept looking at Rufus wordlessly. She could not believe that Rufus, a prime investor, would be willing to hire a disfigured actress to star in his movie. That would be so risky!

"Your scars can be treated. Stem cell therapy abroad is very good now. I know a doctor who specializes in such field and I would be happy to introduce you to him later,"

Rufus continued to say. Every sentence that came out of his mouth left everyone more and more surprised.

Eventually, Lyndsy calmed down. Rufus seemed to have succeeded in reassuring her.

She wiped away her tears and focused on comforting her mother instead.

"I'll be fine, Mom. I promise I will take good care of myself,"

she said, sounding calm and strong. The helplessness and panic she displayed just a minute ago were now totally gone.

"Cassandra, the business of the studio is going to depend on you for a while,"

Lyndsy said to Cassandra with full trust.

"Don't worry, Stella and I will take care of it for you,"

Cassandra replied, very glad to see Lyndsy calmer than before. She then looked at Rufus gratefully.
