LOGINSheila was also in a complete mess. "director Derek, don't worry about me, I definitely won't let them terminate their contracts. There's still time, I'll try my best to persuade them.""Persuade? Everything is ready! Do you even know what losses we'll face if they refuse to act? A huge financial loss before we even start filming! Can you take responsibility for that?" Derek roared, his voice escalating with each word."I feel like you're completely treating this project like a game!""You were so confident back then when you suggested letting Caroline play the female lead and Sebastian play the male lead. Didn't you ever think about the possibility of them not getting along?""Now that this problem has arisen, who's going to clean up the mess for you!"Sheila accepted the blame. She only thought that Sebastian could elevate the project to its optimal level, and she overestimated her ability to control the artists.Davis was also anxious. "Miss Emerson, are you confident that you can
Is he a pervert!Brianna recoiled, fearfully pushing him away. Her expression was barely holding together. "Kane, what are you doing?"Kane raised an eyebrow. "What? You don't like it?"Brianna: "I... I'm not used to this.""Oh." Kane released her. "Then you can leave now."After dozens of seconds of internal struggle, Brianna was still unwilling to leave. She cautiously asked, "None of this will get leaked, right?"Kane casually replied, "Of course not."Brianna gritted her teeth and hugged Kane tightly. "As long as it makes you happy, I'm willing to do anything for you."Kane contentedly pinched her neck, his expression pleased. "If only you were her, how great would that be."Brianna knew "her" referred to Sheila. "Would you do this to her too?"Kane's smile faded. After a moment, he slowly said, "I wouldn't have before, but now all of this is prepared for her.""One day, I'll bring her back. But for now, I'll reluctantly let you be her substitute."Brianna couldn't force a smile.
Amy saw Sheila emerge from the meeting room, looking utterly defeated, and pretty much guessed the outcome. "They chose Brianna?""Yeah," Sheila grunted, annoyed.Amy huffed, "Let's just hope she acts properly and doesn't pull any stunts."Sheila: All we can do is hope.Meanwhile, Brianna quickly received a notification from the production team.Just as she'd expected, she got the part.The ten thousand hadn't been wasted after all.Sitting in the back of the car, Brianna couldn't help but grin.Kane, who had been resting with his eyes closed, cracked one eye open to glance at her, then lazily closed them again, completely uninterested.He couldn't care less about her business. To him, she was just a toy to relieve his urges.A few minutes later, the black Alphard pulled up to a villa nestled on a hillside.Brianna followed Kane out of the car, her eyes gleaming at the sight of the luxurious mansion. "Kane, is this your home?"Kane's dark pupils narrowed slightly, his voice cold and h
So, she was Mr. Maxwell's girlfriend.Pretty much everyone present had heard that Sheila was Kane's ex. Now Kane had found a girlfriend who looked so much like Sheila – he was playing the "shadow of another" game, and everyone knew it.It was an unspoken understanding.But Kane was the investor, after all. They had to give him face.Derek quickly said, "Oh, is that so? Mr. Maxwell is too generous. Miss Brianna, why don't you sit down and join us?"Everyone could hear that Derek was just being polite, but Brianna didn't hold back at all. She immediately had the waiter add a seat for her between Davis and Derek.Before, everyone had been comfortably discussing the project, but Brianna's presence made the atmosphere in the private room incredibly awkward.But she ate very naturally, not embarrassed at all."Teachers, you can talk about what you need to, don't mind me."How could they openly discuss casting issues with her sitting there?Derek laughed to ease the atmosphere and put food o
"Director Li must be joking." A helpless smile tugged at the corner of Sheila’s lips. "I only have one younger brother, and I don’t even know this Miss Brianna."The onlookers merely exchanged amused glances, enjoying the casual drama.Director Li lost no time and gestured for his assistant to hand Brianna the script for one of the key scenes for the character 'Susie.'After preparing for about five minutes, Brianna delivered her performance.Prior to her, at least twenty other actresses had auditioned for this exact role. Some simply lacked the right look, others had atrocious acting skills, and a few whose acting was passable completely failed to capture the specific vibe the directors were looking for. It always fell just a little short.But this Brianna was actually decent. Her line delivery was up to par, her acting was solid, and she had grasped the core of the character quite well.Once the audition concluded, Brianna bowe
Sheila, hearing her limping explanation, grew intrigued. "Not intentional? Elaborate on how it was 'not intentional.'"Daphne had already prepared her spiel."That day, I was out sending a client, passing by this area when my period unexpectedly started. My pants got stained, so I just wanted to come up and change. I was about to leave when I experienced severe abdominal pain, so I stayed a little longer.""These things..." she continued, "I was dizzy and rushed that day, so I accidentally left them behind."Sheila suddenly chuckled. "That's a pretty reasonable story you've cooked up.""However, I have a question.""How did you get in?""It wasn't like Mr. Ford gave you the door code, was it?"Killian shot a cold glare at Daphne."Mr. Ford changed the password, but the keypad lock has three spare keys." Daphne continued to quibble, "I accidentally misplaced one earlier and was planning to return it to Mr. Ford, but I've
The flower square was packed with people, a lively scene.As Sheila was drawn in by the various flowers, a group of children on roller skates zoomed by, one of them nearly knocking her off her feet.Fortunately, Killian reacted quickly, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling
After a moment of silence, Killian scoffed coldly."Sheila, what do you mean by asking that? Are you reminding me not to fall for you?"Of course she knew that someone as clear-headed and rational as Killian could never fall for her.On the contrary, she was afraid of getting
Killian's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment.Sheila's brain raced. "Uh... when did I say that? You must be mistaken. I said his father passed away early, and he grew up in a single-parent family."Joel frowned. "Really? I distinctly remember..."Sheila picked up
Olivia ripped off her apron, stained with grease, and stormed out of the kitchen.Her sharp gaze swept over Sheila before landing on Killian.Killian stood tall and upright, nodding with composure and confidence to her and Antony. "Dad, Mom, hello. I'm Killian, Sheila's husband."
