At the press conference of the book “President Is an Evil.”
The novel was a best-seller, this idol drama adopted the mode of airing while filming, and the investors were willing to invest money in publicity.
Therefore, there was a sea of people at the press conference.
Serina was invited to the press conference, and Lawis personally took her to the room behind the press conference. Behind her was a tall and burly man.
“Ms. Serina, this is the bodyguard I hired for you. As long as you are in the drama series, the bodyguard will protect you. His name is Tom Smith.”
Lawis introduced each other.
Serina looked up at her bodyguard, Tom. He was tall and strong, and his chest was well-developed. At first glance, it was obvious that he was capable of his job.
“Hello, Ms. Serina, I am Tom. If there’s anything I can help, please tell me.” Tom greeted Serina politely.
“Thank you for protecting me.” Serina looked at Tom with a smile.
“My pleasure!”
Serina looked at him and was very satisfied. This time, she was no longer afraid of being beaten like last time!
“Jessica, there are so many media outlets at the press conference. I think this drama will definitely go viral.”
“Whether it will go viral or not. I just need to try my best to play my role.” Jessica seemed not interested in fame.
Serina suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar. She turned around and saw Jessica. “It’s you!”
Wasn’t the person who gave her two hundred the day she was besieged?
Jessica looked at Serina but she didn’t remember her. “Excuse me, who are you?”
“Don’t you remember me?”
On the day she was attacked, she looked terrible and her hair was messy.
But today, for the press conference, she, the special scriptwriter, had put on makeup. It was reasonable that Jessica did not recognize her.
“I was squatting under the wall that day. You gave me two hundred and asked me to take a car to S City.”
The assistant next to Jessica, April, recognized it first.
“You are that the beggar!”
“April!” Jessica quickly stopped her.
April quickly stopped and smiled awkwardly.
“It doesn’t matter. You are right. I was indeed like a beggar that day! Let me introduce myself, my name is Serina.”
“Serina, are you the author of that novel, and the special scriptwriter?” Jessica was overjoyed.
Serina nodded in embarrassment. She didn’t expect she was a fan.
“That’s great! I have been reading this novel whenever I am free. When I heard that there will be an idol drama based on it, I immediately came to audition. I am so happy even I play an insignificant role!”
“So you’re an actress?”
“I am Jessica. I am the third female lead in this drama, Rachel Jones.”
“Wow, that’s great!” Serina took Jessica’s hand and shook it.
Outside the conference.
A high-end nanny car passed by the door. The window was rolled down a little, and Clara took off her sunglasses.
So many people here!
“Clara, I have told you! This drama hasn’t even been filmed yet and it’s already popular. You can imagine how popular it will be. You will be popular too.”
The corners of Clara’s mouth curled up slightly. Hopefully, she would be popular.
The car drove all the way to the parking area. Mia got off the car and looked around, but no one waited here for her.
“This is too much. You are the female lead! No one was here for you?”
Mia stomped her feet in anger.
“Mia, why don’t we go up first? If we are late for the press conference, there will be negative news.”
Mia sighed, “Sigh, Clara, you are still not popular enough. If you are one of the most popular stars, everyone will be here for you! You have to work hard on this drama!”
Clara nodded. They entered the building of the press conference with their assistants through the back door.
Mia found a staff member and asked about the waiting area for the actors, then she took Clara there.
When they came there, Clara saw Serina holding Jessica’s hand and talking.
Serina was also shocked when she saw Clara.
“Why are you here?” They asked together.
Clara smiled contemptuously. “Serina, I am the female lead. I come here for the press conference. But you still dare to go out now. Aren’t you afraid of the media outside?”
Clara came to Serina, walked around her, and looked at Jessica contemptuously.
“I advise you to leave from the back door early. Otherwise, if the media sees you and chases after you, you can’t leave.”
Serina did not say anything. She was used to Clara’s strange behavior, so it was nothing strange.
“What’s more, what kind of place is this? People like can’t come here.”
Clara was looking down on Serina.
Jessica stepped forward and was about to speak when a staff member at the scene came over.
“Ms. Norris, you will present with the director. Here are some questions that the reporters will ask later. Please take a look first.”
Clara walked forward and reached out her hand, “Okay.”
The staff member was stunned when he saw Clara reaching out her hand. Only then did he realize that there were two Ms. Norris here.
He scratched his head, “Clara, I’m sorry. I’m talking about Ms. Serina.”
With that, he handed the card to Serina.
Clara awkwardly took back her hand and cleared her throat. She was so embarrassed.
“She will present with the director? Is she also an actress?” Clara whispered.
“Clara, don’t you know? Ms. Serina is the author of the novel, and she is the special scriptwriter of this drama. The screenwriter and director will present together.”
Clara was even more shocked. The author? Special scriptwriter?
When did Serina become so awesome?
“I’m really sorry. If you don’t want to act in my drama, we can still find someone else.” Serina smiled proudly.
Mia immediately pulled Clara to a corner.
“Mia, let’s cancel the contract! I don’t want to be in her drama!”
“Clara, you can’t offend her now. She’s the screenwriter. Maybe she’ll make things difficult for you. Besides, we’ve already signed the contract. You have to do it!”
“But…”
“No. This is your chance to be popular. You can’t destroy your career just because of Serina, right?”
Clara was so angry!
“Clara, I know that you are unhappy, but you have to hold it back!”
“But, Mia, you also know that I had previously held a press conference and talked so much bad about Serina with my friends. Now, you want me to act as the female lead in her novel. Isn’t this embarrassing?”
