LOGINHearing that, the director immediately thought of Yvonne, who had walked off halfway through the shoot, and it still left a sour taste in his mouth.“Let’s not bring that up. Some people are absolutely replaceable.”Aurora caught the shift in his expression and understood instantly.He was clearly still holding a grudge.Otherwise, he wouldn’t speak about it so bluntly.In her view, it wasn’t something that could be smoothed over so easily.The director noticed her thoughtful look and grew curious.“What is it? You look troubled. Did someone say something to you?”Aurora looked up, surprised he could read her that quickly.She hadn’t expected him to be so sharp.“Looks like nothing gets past you.”She said it with a light, helpless air.The director answered with pride, “Of course. In this industry, if you don’t learn to read people, you’ll get eaten alive.“The fact that I’ve made it this far has everything to do with knowing exactly who I’m dealing with.”Aurora had to agree.“That’s
The director spoke with absolute conviction.Hearing that, Aurora felt a little puzzled.“What’s going on?”“Of course it’s because the results from our first season were far better than expected. The response was incredible, completely beyond anything we imagined.“And you wouldn’t believe some of the reactions. Even I was surprised by how people perceived it.”Aurora didn’t quite understand.“Mr. Smith, are you serious?”Her expression remained stunned.She couldn’t help wondering if he was just flattering her.Was he just being polite because she was new to the industry?Seeing her doubt, the director waved his hand to dismiss the thought.“You’re overthinking it. The numbers were genuinely strong.”Aurora finally relaxed.“Since you’re saying the numbers were good, then I believe you. I want to ask—should we consider working together on a second season?”The director was naturally delighted. He had never expected Aurora to bring this up herself.He originally thought producing a se
Moreover, his way of thinking was downright bizarre.Going in circles with him was nothing but a waste of her time.Yvonne stared up at the ceiling, her mind sinking into deep thought....Meanwhile, Aurora also went to find the director to discuss the second season of the show.When the director saw Aurora coming over to talk to him, he felt genuinely pleased.During filming, the thing that impressed him most was Aurora’s performance.He’d always assumed that, as an investor, Aurora would never grasp the finer nuances of these things.Talking to her might even take extra effort at times.After all, there were plenty of rookie actors in the industry whose acting was poor, with movements and expressions that looked painfully stiff.With all those cameras pointed at them, they still couldn’t find their marks or show their best side.The show was going out to the public, so of course everyone needed to present the very best version of themselves.Only then could viewers see what made the
She had been rejecting Edwin nonstop.Yet in the end, even she secretly longed for that kind of life. Saying it out loud would sound ridiculous, wouldn’t it?Yvonne turned her head away, refusing to acknowledge anything Edwin said."You don’t need to tell me any of this. I have my own principles and my own thoughts."She drew in a steady breath, deciding to follow what she truly believed."I know what I want to do, so saying all this won’t change anything."A shadow crossed Edwin’s eyes.He never expected that after everything he said, he’d end up nothing more than a backdrop to Yvonne’s resolve.He thought she would seriously consider his words, but had everything he said been useless?The thought left him feeling bitter."Yvonne, are you playing with me?""I’m just making it clear that I don’t want to hear any of this."Yvonne took a deeper breath. "I already said it before—there’s no possibility between us. No matter how you cling to me, the outcome stays the same. I hope you unders
Wasn’t it because Yvonne had some faint feelings for him, which was why she acted this way?That was what Edwin believed. In his mind, this possibility made perfect sense.He never expected that, in Yvonne’s eyes, she actually found him this unbearable."Yvonne, you really disappointed me."Edwin looked deeply wounded.He even pressed a hand to his chest, as if to show how dissatisfied he was.Seeing this, Yvonne only found it ridiculous."What are you performing for me? If you have the energy for theatrics, why not think about how to fix your own mess?"Yvonne began listing out everything he had done over the years."Tell me, what have you actually accomplished all these years?""What’s that supposed to mean?"Edwin couldn’t understand what mistake he had supposedly made to deserve this scolding."You’ve been idle for years. Tell me, what have you done?"Yvonne found it absurd. "Why do you think I fell for Lucas? You really don’t know the difference between you two? You’re still cluel
"Tell me, why would I lie to you? We’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you know exactly what kind of person I am?"Yvonne shook her head. "I used to see you clearly. But now, I don’t think I can anymore."Edwin didn’t understand what she meant."I have my own career now, and everything with that man was just work, nothing else.""If you end up disrupting my life because of this, would you really feel at ease with yourself?""What are you planning to do?"For no clear reason, unease crept into Edwin’s chest.He felt that if he didn’t hold onto her now, Yvonne would slip further and further away from him.And if she did, would he still have a chance?The moment the thought settled, panic began to stir inside him."Yvonne, what are you going to do?""What? So now you finally think you’re entitled to keep an eye on me? What does my choice got to do with you?"Yvonne swept her gaze over him with open disdain. To her, Edwin’s behavior was almost laughable.He hadn’t done anything
