Are you still looking for actors? Can you assign me a role? Any role.”
“Now, c’mon, Eva, how dare I ask a big shot like you to join my production!”
“I’m serious.
I’m bored right now.
I want to take up a role.
I’m good with any character.”
“Well, I am looking for a supporting actress if you’d like,” Vincent revealed.
“Yeah, I’m game!”
“Seriously?!” Though Vincent sounded surprised, he was excited about Eva’s participation, as it would mean another big name would be added to his production.
“Yeah.
I’ll pack up and head over tomorrow.”
“Haven’t you just returned from Moncent? Are you sure you don’t want to take a break?”
“Nope.
Hand me a digital copy of the script, will you, Vince?”
Vincent was doing somersaults in his head, surprised and joyous at the fact that Eva really wanted to join the production.
“Sure, right away.” With that, he hung up and hurriedly searched for the document to send to Eva.
He let out a deep breath.
He had initially wanted Eva to be the female lead for this drama, but she was fully booked at the time, working on a commercial overseas.
But now, she had returned and was willing to take up the supporting role.
It sure was a good surprise.
Later, he went to Julian, who was sitting on the couch with a tablet in his hand, googling Jessie.
He sure was even more proactive than the PR department when it came to protecting Jessie’s reputation.
If anything, he would have the PR department deal with the media and social media users who defame Jessie as soon as he learned about it.
Vincent immediately sat across from him after the former’s assistant invited him in.
“Guess what news I come bearing, Julian.”
“What is it?” Julian lifted his head and took a gander at the director.
“I’ve found the actress for the supporting role.
Guess who it is.”
“Well, I hope it isn’t someone evil like Lestrange,” commented Julian as he glued his eyes to the tablet.
Vincent wailed inwardly in response. It finally dawned on him that Eva had decided to join his production entirely because she wanted to get away from a certain someone, and it wasn’t just anyone but his immediate boss—Louie Gilmore!
She took a transit flight straight from Moncent instead of returning to her home in Averna, avoiding him at all costs. It was evident how much she didn’t want to see their boss.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Stardom Corporation, a tall figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a phone in his hand while the sunlight shone on him through the window.
His face was deadpanned as usual, and his profound yet chilling eyes and thick brows made him look unforgivingly commanding.
Meanwhile, back on set, some crew members grouped together to meet Eve as soon as she arrived. After Vincent invited her over to his room, he had Julian bring Jessie over as well.
The young woman was memorizing her lines in her room when the doorbell rang, which Lexie answered. “Jessie, come out for a sec,” Julian called to her at the door.
Jessie hurriedly put her script down at that. To her surprise, Julian took her hand and led her toward Vincent’s room right as she came out.
As the door opened, Jessie covered her mouth in surprise, having trouble believing her idol was sizing her up with a smile on the couch.
“You must be Jessie. Come, sit.” Eva immediately scooched over, making space for Jessie, who took the seat excitedly, sizing her up like an avid fan. “You’re my idol, Miss Duncan. I love you so much.”
“How about we be best friends, Jessie? From now on, we’re besties.” Though it looked as though Eva was constantly surrounded by people, she was, in actuality, pretty lonely. She had few friends but many competitors and subordinates.
“Really?! Are we on a first-name basis then?!” Jessie squealed with excitement and gave Eva a hug which Eva returned as well.
Meanwhile, aside, Vincent mused, Besties? Who’s to say how you two will be related in the future?!
Julian, too, watched the scene with a subtle smile. “Why did you come straight here instead of making a stop at Averna?” he asked Eva, who blurted, “I have the itch to act.”
But, of course, he wasn’t one to fool easily. As a younger brother, the fact that Louie failed to win Eva’s heart even after three years concerned him.
“Alright, alright, everyone rest early! We’re running on a bit of a tight schedule here. Please keep your heads in the drama,” Vincent reminded, seeing that everyone seemed to have relaxed too soon.
Eva bought many gifts on this trip, and she took Jessie over to her room. In no time, the young woman was given a bag, lipsticks, sheet masks, and a set of skin care products Eva normally used.
Not only that, Eva even gave Lexie lipstick, and just like that, Jessie returned to her room with a bunch of gifts, giving a few sheet masks to Lexie along with the lipstick. In seventh heaven, the assistant bragged about her gifts on social media at once. She naturally didn’t dare mention who they were from, but it was super meaningful to her.
Later that night, Jessie video-chatted with Queenie. Naturally, the sisters could talk forever. Queenie was currently busy getting her wedding ready, and she even sent Jessie a picture of her bridesmaid dress—a pink haute couture dress.
It looked absolutely stunning, and Jessie fell in love with it immediately.
“I love it, Queens. You sure have a keen eye.”
“Naturally. In case you forgot, we’re twins. We share many preferences,” Queenie said matter-of-factly. “How’s filming? Are you doing well over there?”
