Davina Rowe was angrily gritting her teeth. In fact, soone like Leah Thorne with such breathtaking beauty, born a seductress, is often quickly labeled as a "pretty face" in the entertainnt industry.
Many actresses are like this, they look good, but their acting skills are diocre.
However, Leah is the exception.
Since her debut, Leah has been honing her acting skills, and she has a natural talent for performance. In recent years, all the works she has participated in, big or small, have been hits, directly pushing her to the pinnacle of popularity.
This ti she won the lead female role in Director Wright’s "Epheral Life". Many people doubted her, thinking Leah could not capture the complex nature of Anya’s character. Various industry rivals jumped in by funding negative press, and paparazzi kept a close eye on her, all waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Normally, under such intense pressure, people easily crumble.
But Leah showed no reaction.
Upon joining the crew, she began to imrse herself in the character and maintained her regular eating and sleeping habits. During her first script reading, she dazzled everyone present.
Davina scanned the scene. The entire crew had gathered, watching Leah’s srizing deanor. She was already a stunner, her voice sweet and lodious, resonating within the crew, giving a touch of enchanting indulgence.
Davina was beside herself with rage. She wished Leah would disappear imdiately!
Vanish right at this spot!
Suddenly, Davina sensed a cold breeze from outside; soone had arrived.
She turned around imdiately, only to see the crew’s door being pulled open, and a tall, cold silhouette stepped into sight—Justin Xavier was here!
Justin Xavier!
He arrived right on schedule!
Justin Xavier had just co from the airport hall, donning a black thin wool coat, underneath which was a business vest of the sa color, featuring a radiant brooch. Surrounded by the chilly cold air outside, his presence was both powerful and icy, yet magnetic, drawing everyone’s gaze.
Justin handed the black leather gloves he wore to his private secretary behind him, then quickly moved forward.
His gaze imdiately fell upon Leah on stage.
He looked at Leah and couldn’t turn away.
Outside was cold and bleak, inside was a warm, fragrant bed.
Davina was overjoyed; she promptly ran over, her smile radiant, "President Xavier, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you so long~"
Justin ignored her as if he hadn’t even noticed her existence, not sparing her a glance.
Feeling like she was treated as air, Davina persisted, "President Xavier, look, I’ve worn a cheongsam for you. Do you think it’s pretty?"
Upon hearing this, Justin slowly turned his gaze, gave Davina a look, then with a stoic face, he frowned, "How do you think you compare with Leah?"
Davina stalled.
"Between her and you, it’s like night and day, a swan and a duckling. It’s not your fault to be ugly, but you should know how to cover it up, don’t scare people." Justin casually spoke, then his gaze returned to Leah.
Davina’s face turned ashen, standing frozen on the spot.
She knew well how ruthless Justin could be; when he humiliated soone, he left no dignity intact, utterly ruthless.
She’d been humiliated like this before, yet she still felt a dull buzzing in her head.
Now, he was looking at Leah, and didn’t look away again.
His eyes were filled with Leah.
Intense resentnt and unwillingness burned like a fla, igniting Davina’s mind. She gritted her teeth until she bled, but soon a peculiar smile appeared on her lips.
She had already arranged for Leah’s water to be spiked with a drug that would make one feverishly aroused.
Soon, Leah would start feeling hot, increasingly hot, then she would uncontrollably start disrobing, in front of so many people, and caras, putting on a strip show.
With all eyes on the "Epheral Life" crew and Leah, once those strip show photos are leaked, it would undoubtedly cause a huge stir—a good show awaited.
Feeling proud once again, Davina waited.
However, wait as she might, Leah showed no signs of the drug taking effect; soon, the music stopped.
Director Wright jumped up excitedly to wrap things up, "Cut!"
Leah briskly folded up the fan in her hand, walked off stage, and Mada Goldie imdiately draped a coat over Leah’s shoulders, appearing proud like a parent, "Leah, you were phenonal!"
The crowd slowly regained composure from the previous feast, and Director Wright praised, "Leah, I wasn’t wrong to choose you. Just now, I couldn’t tell whether Anya was you, or you were Anya."
Leah curled her red lips slightly, but then she felt a warm gaze lingering on her. She lifted her eyes and saw Justin.
Justin did not advance; he stood in the dim light wearing a black wool coat; his handso face like jade. Now, his clear, cold black eyes were fixated on her, and as she looked over, he slowly curved his thin lips.
"President Xavier!" Director Wright swiftly approached, "President Xavier, what brings you here?"
Davina imdiately extended her hand to hook onto Justin’s muscular arm, proudly saying, "Today’s my first script reading; President Xavier ca to watch perform."
Davina resembled a proud peacock.
Director Wright disapproved of Davina, but since she was Justin’s new fla, he forced an awkward smile, "President Xavier truly spoils his girlfriend."
Justin raised an attractive brow but said nothing. His gaze rested on Leah’s delicate small face, watching her with a half-smile.
At this point, Mada Goldie whispered in Leah’s ear, "Leah, today is President Xavier here for Davina’s reading or to watch yours?"
Saying this, Mada Goldie brought out her phone and passed a photo to Leah, "President Xavier has been watching you since he got here."
Leah glanced down at the photo; Mada Goldie was the first to notice Justin’s arrival, so this was a candid shot. In the photo, Leah stood on stage, exuding charm; he, in a black coat among the crowd, looked up at her, giving an almost... reverent impression.
That gaze seed eternal.
Leah lightly glanced at it without comnting further.
At this mont, Director Wright said, "Davina, Leah’s script reading has ended flawlessly, now it’s your turn."
Davina was quite puzzled; she didn’t understand why Leah hadn’t reacted, she clearly drank the water.
Could sothing have gone wrong?
A sense of foreboding crept upon her, though she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Now prompted by Director Wright to take the stage, she reluctantly stepped up.
