A wave of despair washed over the assistant.
She had started out as one of Sharon Thorne's biggest fans, idolizing her for six whole years, from high school through to her professional life.
She was one of Sharon Thorne's very first fans.
To get a chance to work for her, the assistant had earned her certifications and worked herself to the bone to get through college.
But after actually becoming her assistant, she discovered that the real Sharon Thorne was a world apart from her on-screen persona.
On-screen, Sharon Thorne was a talented actress who spoke with a gentle voice, her eyes always sparkling.
Off-screen, however, Sharon Thorne was temperamental and would always bully the lesser-known actors on set.
Gradually, her adoration had turned to acceptance, and finally, to a state of numbness.
This wasn't the first time Sharon Thorne had berated her, and the assistant instinctively lowered her head.
"Go get me a cup of water."
