After getting to know Alan, Alice got in touch with Candice.
Alan didn’t have many specific requirements for assistants; he mainly wanted Alice to be comfortable with the
arrangement.
However, when Alan saw Candice, his expression was a little complicated. “You’re following Alice?”
Candice’s eyes flickered briefly, and she smiled sweetly, saying, “Yes, Alan. I’m Alice’s dedicated assistant. Let’s work well together in the future.”
Alan looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, and then smiled. “Alright, let’s work well together.”
With both the assistant and agent in place, the focus shifted to Alice’s work.
“There’s an advertising project from Brian that’s supposed to be for my artist. Alice can take on this ad first. As for the script for the acting project…
As Alan started to mention it, he looked at Ray.
Ray was clear about his message without him having to explain.
“Regarding the suspense drama ‘Silence, Alice can play the role of the female antagonist. Josh will be the male lead, portraying a police officer with a positive image.”
Ray turned to Alice and added, “I’ll send you the script tonight. Take your time to study it carefully.”
The drama “Silence” was indeed known to Alice, but she had heard that the role of the second female antagonist was reserved for someone with connections. Trying to compete for it might not be feasible.
Alice didn’t really want to compete with those celebrities will good resources. So she expressed, “Isn’t the second female lead going to be given to someone with connections? I won’t go after that role.”
Upon hearing the term “connections”, Ray couldn’t help but cast a glance at Daniel. He clenched his fist and lightly pressed his chin as he coughed twice.
He said in a teasing tone, “For the matter of connections, your husband knows it better than anyone else. Why not communicate with your husband? You might have some unexpected gains.”
She wondered how Daniel knew about this.
Alice immediately turned to look at him.
Seeing Alice’s perplexed expression and his good friend Ray’s mischievous smile, Daniel knew he couldn’t hide it anymore.
“That second female lead has something to do with me,” Daniel said.
Before Alice could react, Candice got indignant. She placed her hands on his hips and immediately rushed forward to
retort.
“Mr. Kaur, I just started to change my opinion of you, and now you’re doing such scoundrel things. Can you not be like this? If you can’t handle it, just say so. I’ll make sure Alice divorces you immediately!
“Marrying Alice but not cherishing her, seeking other women all over the world. It’s truly exasperating! Don’t call him Mr. Kaur anymore; call him Scoundrel Kaur!”
Daniel’s face at the moment resembled a color palette, displaying a range of vivid emotions.
“Divorce. No matter what, you must get divorced right now!” Candice declared as she held Alice’s arm and was about to go out. “Let’s go to City Hall. Let’s not live with him anymore.
“My brother is a good person, you can marry my brother. Wouldn’t it be better to have a little daughter with my brother in the future than accompanying a scu mbag like him at his house?
“Alice, let me tell you, my brother is 6 feet 2 inches tall. He has an amazing physique, and most importantly, he’s very disciplined. He has no rumors of relationships with any women, and he definitely won’t invest in women. You two are quite compatible.”
Daniel thought, “Was Candice trying to sow discord between us again? She thought she could easily break up our marriage. It seems like we need to find a new assistant for Alice.”
Sensing Daniel’s jealousy, Alice immediately patted Candice’s hand to stop her and paused their stride. Then, she turned around and asked Daniel, “Tell me clearly why the second female lead is related to you.”
If he didn’t explain satisfactorily, she could start to draft the divorce papers.
“The person cast as the second female lead is you, and I paid for it,” Daniel explained.
Alice was momentarily stunned. She rubbed her forehead and said, “So, I’m now the ‘brought-in with capital’ secondary female lead, the one being mocked and ridiculed?”
Ray had a triumphant expression as if she had just won the lottery.
“This is the love your husband gave you. Although it’s a little heavy, we believe that you can handle it well. Cheer up, Josh is waiting for you to join the cast to torment you.”
Alice chuckled and rolled her eyes at Ray. “Ray, you guys knew about this long ago and deliberately let them mock me?”
“How am I supposed to join the cast now? I’ve been criticized to the point of being shredded!”
Thinking about all the rumors circulating, Ray displayed a hint of guilt. He lowered his voice and said, “You’re the one who doesn’t care about how others see you, right? Let’s focus on acting and use our skills to win them over.”
In fact, initially, they were just observing the commotion, but they hadn’t anticipated it would spread throughout the industry.
Furthermore, many female artists actually had their eyes on that role due to the attention it garnered, resulting in the “brought-in with capital” secondary female lead being subjected to harsh criticism
“I’ll personally post an explanation on Twitter,” Daniel suddenly said. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Alice quickly stopped him. “If you explain, what if they mock you for being infatuated and irrational?”
Daniel replied, “Then let them mock. I do admit I’m a bit infatuated and irrational.”
He wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with supporting his wife.
However, considering that Alice didn’t want their relationship to be public yet, he held back and did not say anything.
At that moment, Alan, who was standing nearby, narrowed his eyes and playfully pinched his fingers together. “Don’t explain. Let them speculate. After Alice joins the cast, keep a low profile, and there won’t be any issues.”
As for those who dared to spread rumors about Alice, there was naturally Alan, her agent, to handle them.
At the same time at Brian’s entertainment company, Sabrina came over with great fanfare.
Everyone in the company treated her like a goddess, which naturally made her very pleased.
However, Brian was not fond of her behavior.
“Brian, why aren’t you talking to me?” Sabrina rushed up to Brian like a lively little bird.
Brian lowered his gaze, glancing at her expression, and found it somewhat affected.
“Stop using a clipped tone. It’s not suitable for you,” Brian said in disdain.
“It’s just because you like girls with clipped tones that I…” Sabrina noticed that Brian’s expression had turned dark, so she quickly switched to a normal tone.
“Okay, okay, I’ll talk to you properly. Can I go and shoot the advertisement?”
Brian nodded. “Sure.”
“Brian, what kind of advertisement is this?” Sabrina noticed Brian had documents in his hand and couldn’t help asking.
Brian whispered, “The Blue Enchantress series. I’m waiting for a female artiste.”
The message from Alan had already been sent over. He was also interested in Alice and wanted her to give it a try.
“Which female artiste is it? Tell me, could it be someone I know?” Sabrina asked with a smile.
In truth, she also wanted to secure the Blue Enchantress advertisement, so she wanted to first find out who Brian was looking for.
“Alice Doyle, do you know her?” Brian asked.
“What? Alice?” Sabrina was shocked.
She did not expect Brian would give Alice the opportunity to shoot the advertisement.
While she had planned for Brian to help her deal with Alice, she couldn’t possibly allow her to take the Blue Enchantress advertisement.
“Brian, do you know how despicable that woman is?” Sabrina let out a soft sigh. “She seduced my fiancé!”
