"Let her show off," Aurelia Shaw said nonchalantly. "She'll soon find out that acting isn't just about money and scheming. Without real talent, she doesn't even qualify to be a supporting actress."
Ding dong!
Aurelia's phone chid.
She glanced at the screen; it was a WeChat ssage from Sawyer, "Have you looked at the script I sent you last ti, grandma?"
This Sawyer.
"Getting addicted to calling grandma, huh?" Aurelia tapped lightly on the keyboard as she replied.
Sawyer responded confidently, "I lost the bet back then, and calling you grandma was the wager. I have to keep my word! Grandma, this script is truly one of a kind. I assure you it will be a big hit; why don't you take a look?"
Sawyer might not be doing great in the industry, but his scripts are in high demand. Such a person begging her to take a script—if others in the circle knew, they'd be jealous enough to gnaw their nails off.
"I've read it. It's not bad."
In fact, it's more than not bad. She loved the plot and especially the character of Victor Cold. Saying it's "not bad" was rely to prepare for price negotiation.
But Sawyer didn't follow the usual script.
"If you think it's good, then take it. Didn't your company just get registered and still lacks a signature work? I'll give you this script for free as a congratulatory gift."
So generous?
What is he up to?
Aurelia, never one to miss an opportunity, asked, "What are the conditions?"
Sawyer smiled, "Hehe, if you feel bad about taking it for free, then hire into your company. Didn't we talk about this before? Your company needs a scriptwriter, and I'm a writer and director. In a way, you'd still be benefiting."
Rubbing her phone, Aurelia's tone turned slightly serious, "With your talent, even if you have a bit of a temper, many companies would want to recruit you. While I believe my company will not lag in developnt, it's still just starting out with no signature works. Why do you insist on joining my company?"
This is sothing she needed to know.
Sawyer's tone also grew earnest, "I always have good foresight. You are going to disrupt the entertainnt industry, and this is just your warm-up. If just your warm-up broke the viewership records, and 'Stardust' hasn't even aired but all tickets are pre-sold, every show full... How could I not want to seize such talent in advance?"
The current rumors and dirt are just clouds over a raw gem.
Once these clouds clear, her talent and radiance will astonish everyone in the industry.
The person who saw this early was Eleanor Spencer. She sensed the threat from Aurelia, which is why she tried every ans to get rid of her.
But in the end, the one who got rid of and disgraced was Eleanor herself.
He indeed was seizing the opportunity.
But it wasn't him seizing her; it was hoping she would seize him sooner.
Aurelia's lips curved into a slight smile that made those around her montarily dazed, "Alright."
With one word, nothing more needed to be said.
She stretched lazily, squinting at the sun. A warm-up, huh? No wonder he's the future top scriptwriter in the entertainnt circle, with sharper vision than others.
...
Aurelia raised her eyes towards Jovana Shaw's direction, with Leo Campbell beside her and the staff surrounding Jovana, offering earnest greetings.
