“Sienna, Starry Moon Hotel. I just booked a room on my phone. How about we go there to discuss the script for your upcoming role?” Dylan Dryden spoke, but his gaze wandered over Sienna’s chest.
“Mr. Dryden, it’s really unfortunate. I have another appointment shortly,” Sienna said, her lips slightly curling.
Sienna knew exactly what Dylan Dryden had in mind. Discussing the script, yeah right. Is a hotel the place for that?
In this industry, one couldn’t always avoid these so-called unwritten rules, but Dylan Dryden’s appearance was somewhat repulsive to Sienna. She wasn’t interested in this short and greasy old man, so there was some resistance in her heart.
Sienna’s words made Dylan Dryden’s face darken. “Sienna, you don’t even want to discuss the script with me. It seems like you’re not putting your heart into it. Are you, the supporting actress, not interested in acting anymore?”
This remark caused a subtle change in Sienna’s expression.
In fact, this opportunity for the supporting actress role was quite hard-won for Sienna. Combined with the fact that she hadn’t received many roles recently, she attached more importance to this supporting actress opportunity.
Moreover, according to Dylan Dryden, the director of this period drama was a famous director in China.
Even playing the supporting actress, she might gain popularity through this TV series. Therefore, Sienna needed this opportunity.
“Mr. Dryden, I was just kidding. Let’s go to the hotel and discuss the script now,” Sienna quickly forced a smile on her face, reaching out to hold Dylan Dryden’s arm.
As the two were about to leave the lobby, Dylan Dryden stopped abruptly and looked in the direction of Leo and the others.
There was a crowd around Leo and the others, not because of Coral this time, but because of Violet, the little beauty.
“This little beauty is so cute and adorable, like the female lead in the recent popular anime!”
“I think she looks more like that female star in the recent hit Korean drama.”
“I’m sure she’s a celebrity. She’s with Coral, the CEO of Wilde Jewelry Group. She must have been invited by Wilde Jewelry Group for an event.”
While discussing, people took out their phones to take pictures of Violet.
Dylan Dryden and Sienna also walked over, hearing the discussions. Sienna felt somewhat disdainful; she thought this little girl must be playing cosplay to attract attention and create a buzz.
Humph, people these days have no taste. She’s the real star here, and they are more interested in a little girl!
Although she was dissatisfied, Sienna had to admit that Violet’s appearance, outfit, and vibe were indeed eye-catching.
Seeing Dylan Dryden staring intently at the little girl, Sienna, displeased, pulled his hand. “Mr. Dryden, let’s go.”
However, Dylan Dryden waved his hand and said, “Not in a hurry. Let’s go to the hotel later. It seems I’ve found another promising star.”
Dylan Dryden’s words instantly made Sienna feel a sense of crisis. She grabbed Dylan Dryden’s hand, using a dissatisfied yet somewhat coquettish tone, “Mr. Dryden, it’s just a girl intentionally attracting attention with cosplay. There are plenty of people like her…”
Dylan Dryden didn’t bother to listen to Sienna and withdrew his hand, walking over to Violet.
Sienna stomped her foot in frustration, muttering, “A shameless old pervert!” Even though Dylan Dryden didn’t buy her act, she didn’t dare to leave him. This upcoming TV series had a rumored investment of over three hundred million. Leaving aside fame, just the pay for the role of the second female lead made Sienna green covet. So, she could only grovel to Dylan Dryden.
Leo hadn’t expected to witness such a scene in the lobby of Wilde Jewelry Group. His brows furrowed deeply.
Although Violet was a free spirit, she felt uncomfortable with being the center of attention. She said to Leo and Coral, “Leo, Coral, let’s leave this place quickly.”
Leo nodded, and Coral took Violet’s hand, preparing to depart.
At that moment, Dylan Dryden’s robust figure squeezed through the crowd, and he directly said to Violet, “Please wait a moment.”
Violet glanced at Dylan Dryden, puzzled, and asked, “Sir, do you need something?”
“Hello, I’m Dylan Dryden, the deputy general manager of Marine and Sky Films and Television.” Dylan Dryden said this with an uplifted chest, deliberately raising his voice.
This self-proclaimed identity was a tried and true move. Whenever someone had dreams of stardom, hearing this sentence would surely make their face light up with excitement, eager to get to know him.
So, after Dylan Dryden finished speaking, he didn’t say much, just sizing up Violet, waiting to see the expected reaction on her face.
The more Dylan Dryden looked at Violet, the more he liked her. This little girl perfectly combined beauty and cuteness, especially her face-undoubtedly the most perfect little girl’s face in the hearts of countless otaku and greasy middle-aged men.
What surprised Dylan Dryden was Violet’s rather blank expression regarding his identity. “Deputy general manager of Marine and Sky Films and Television? What do they do?”
This statement visibly stiffened Dylan Dryden’s expression. He had to reach into his pocket, pulling out a business card and handing it to Violet, saying, “This is my business card. We are currently preparing to shoot a large-scale fantasy costume drama. I feel that, young lady, you fit a role in the series perfectly. Are you interested in acting?”
Dylan Dryden tossed out the bait directly.
In his view, young girls all had dreams of becoming stars. Upon hearing this offer, they would definitely cheer with excitement. Moreover, with his identity and capability, arranging a small role for someone was a piece of cake. As for how much screen time or dialogue the role had, it depended on what she could do to get this job.
Violet didn’t take the business card Dylan Dryden handed her, shaking her head. “Acting doesn’t seem like much fun. Forget it, I’m not interested.”
This response visibly changed Dylan Dryden’s expression. In all his years in the industry, this was the first time someone had outright rejected his invitation.
Could this little girl be suspecting his identity?
Certainly, that must be it. In recent years, there had been quite a few impostors posing as high-ranking executives of film and television companies, deceiving people for money and other gains. Such reports were frequent on television.
Dylan Dryden had no choice but to call Sienna over and then pointed to Sienna, introducing her to Violet. “This is Miss Sienna, a famous actress in the entertainment industry. She will be starring in the TV series I mentioned.”
