Translator: 549690339
Xaviera Evans looked calm, speaking indifferently: “Sally isn’t suitable for playing Liz.”
Sally trembled with anger and immediately called Mr. Bech. The assistant director looked upset and unhappy.
“Miss Evans, although you belong to Mr. Rome, you are an outsider and have no right to interfere in our casting decisions. You are not the screenwriter, so how could you know who is suitable for playing Liz?”
“Mr. Bech is the investor of this film, and he just arranged a supporting role.
You have no right to object!”
Xaviera chuckled softly, “Did Mr. Bech invest 50 million dollars?”
Upon hearing Xaviera’s voice, Sally exploded, yelling regardless of her image,
“Yes! If I can’t play Liz, you won’t get that 50 million dollars!”
Her agent also chimed in: “Director, you know what kind of background our Sally has, while that Xaviera is just a minor character. A smart person would know how to choose! ”
Xaviera remained calm: “Sally must leave.”
The assistant director’s eyes were full of rage, “Miss Evans, who gives you the right to speak to us in a commanding tone? You are just Mr. Rome’s lover, while Mr. Bech paid 50 million dollars for Sally. Don’t take yourself too seriously; we will never offend Mr. Bech because of you!”
Xaviera stood up slowly, her face indifferent: “If you insist on casting Sally as
Liz, I will leave.”
She took out a document and walked in front of the director, “In that case, our contract is hereby terminated.”
The assistant director was about to speak when he saw the contract, his face turning pale— The contract?
It clearly stated that the screenwriter had final say on casting decisions. If the screenwriter disagreed, the contract would be automatically terminated.
So Xaviera was… the screenwriter?
The assistant director shuddered and stood up abruptly, “You… are the screenwriter?”
She was supposed to be just Mr. Rome’s lover. How could she be the screenwriter?
Sally looked astonished, watching the assistant director’s changing expression and yelled, “Xaviera is lying! She definitely isn’t the screenwriter! She was kidnapped in her childhood and sold to the countryside. She can write a script? I must be an international star then!”
“Xaviera! Get the hell out of here! I feel disgusted just looking at you!”
Sally yelled loudly without any regard for her image, taking out her phone to call Mr. Bech.
At this moment, the door of the audition room was pushed open—
A few men in black suits walked in, and Steve Price stepped out, bending over with a graceful movement.
Caleb Mamet walked in with a steady pace.
Xaviera hesitated for a moment.
What was Caleb doing here?
She came here to meet her senior fellow. If Caleb found out she was having a private meeting with another man, that would be troublesome!
Caleb had an indifferent expression, exuding a king’s aura.
The director’s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to step forward, Sally rushed over, “Mr. Mamet, you’re here. Did Mr. Bech send you?” Sally’s heart swelled with happiness.
Mr. Mamet personally came to the audition site, certainly for her sake.
Upon seeing Caleb, Sally’s mind raced. He was wealthy and influential, handsome and rich — thousands of times better than Mr. Bech. If she could hook up with this man…
Sally approached him, acting coy: “Mr. Mamet, you don’t need to come here personally. A call to the director would have sufficed. But I’ve really been wronged! Someone’s been causing trouble for me…”
Caleb spoke slowly, ‘Who’s causing trouble?”
Hearing this, Sally became more confident that Caleb was there to help and immediately beamed with joy.
Her body seemed boneless as she leaned toward Caleb, “Mr. Mamet, it’s her! Saying she’s the screenwriter and not allowing me to play Liz. The director agreed, but Xaviera keeps causing trouble and wants to drive me away. Such a woman is just too terrible!”
Caleb glanced at Sally, a trace of mockery in his eyes.
However, Sally didn’t notice and arrogantly spoke to Xaviera, “See that? Mr. Mamet is here to help me, you…”
“Don’t be upset.”
Caleb’s voice was lazy, with a hint of helplessness, “As long as you’re happy, it’s just a matter of saying the word to make her disappear.” Everyone gasped, and Sally was even more taken aback.
Whom was Mr. Mamet talking to?
Was he coaxing a woman?
Sally thought Caleb was talking to her, feeling extremely flattered.
“Mr. Mamet…’
As she leaned closer, Caleb swiftly walked up to Xaviera, “Were you wronged?”
Sally stared in disbelief, unable to believe the scene before her eyes.
How was it possible?
Why was Mr. Mamet coaxing Xaviera? Was he out of his mind?
Xaviera was silent for a moment, considering that before Caleb had entered, she hadn’t done anything too extreme.
Fortunately, her fierce image wasn’t exposed in front of Caleb..
