Although Sienna disapproved of Dylan Dryden’s actions, she reluctantly took off her oversized sunglasses and, in a condescending manner, addressed Violet, “It’s your fortune that Mr. Dryden has noticed you. Acting alongside me is even luckier for you. Opportunities like this don’t come often.”
Violet blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Sienna playfully. “Why should I act with you just because I agree to Mr. Dryden? Is there no one else willing to act with you?”
This teasing remark made Sienna’s face darken. It also made Sienna realize that this little loli didn’t recognize her at all.
While angered, Sienna initially wanted to mock Violet a bit. However, she noticed Leo looking at her and suspected that this guy might know her. So, she turned to Leo and said, “You must be her companion. Tell her who I am and the TV dramas I’ve been in.”
This woman really thought highly of herself. Leo shook his head and said, “Sorry, I know nothing about you.”
“You…” Leo’s words infuriated Sienna to the point where she felt like grinding her teeth into pieces. Even though she wasn’t in the limelight anymore, she should still have some recognition in the entertainment industry. Yet here in this lobby, not a single person recognized her. How could she accept this?
Seeing that Sienna’s efforts were in vain, Dylan Dryden had to paint a rosy future for Violet. “Little girl, you have to trust my ability and vision. If you participate in the TV series I mentioned, you’ll definitely become popular. By then, you’ll be a big star, and various invitations will pour in. You can earn millions or tens of millions in a year so easily.”
“Working hard for a year just to earn a few million or tens of millions? It’s not worth it. My allowance for a year is more than that,” Violet said, showing no interest on her face.
Violet then looked at Leo and Coral. “Leo, Coral, let’s go.”
Violet’s words prompted Sienna to disdainfully snort, “Young girls these days speak without honesty. Even claiming to have an allowance of millions or tens of millions for a year, huh!”
As the three prepared to leave, Dylan Dryden felt somewhat unwilling. Girls like Violet were rare, and he continued to add chips to entice her. “Young lady, it’s not easy to encounter a talent scout like me nowadays. Your personal qualities and temperament indeed meet our company’s standards. How about this, as long as you agree, I’ll let you play the role of the third female lead, how about that?”
Now, Sienna had had enough. She had worked hard and even sacrificed her looks to secure the role of the second female lead, while this little girl, who did nothing, could just step in and take the role of the third female lead. It was truly unfair.
“Mr. Dryden, how can an unknown newcomer play the third female lead?” Sienna objected.
Dylan Dryden’s expression slightly darkened, pretending to be angry. “If I say she can play the third female lead, she can. Do you doubt my judgment?”
Violet and her companions paid no attention to Dylan Dryden’s judgment and walked straight toward the exit of the lobby.
This time, Dylan Dryden was truly angry. Being ignored was an unpleasant feeling.
“Looking at the whole of Langstel, there is no one who can, and no one who dares to refuse me, Dylan Dryden!” Dylan Dryden watched the backs of Violet and her companions and snorted coldly.
Never getting it will always be unsettling, and those favored have confidence without fear. Since Dylan Dryden took the position of vice president at Marine and Sky Films and Television, he had mostly encountered women who were eager to get close. So, Violet’s attitude not only displeased him but also aroused his conquering desire.
Once again, Sienna clung to Dylan Dryden’s arm and tried to comfort him, saying, “Mr. Dryden, forced melons won’t be sweet. If that girl doesn’t cherish the opportunity, it’s her loss. Let’s go to the hotel and discuss the script.”
Dylan Dryden pushed Sienna’s hand away. “You don’t understand. With her temperament and appearance, starring in the upcoming TV series will definitely make her popular. For the development of Marine and Sky Films and Television, I must get her!”
After saying this, Dylan Dryden hurriedly chased after them.
Feeling disgusted by Dylan Dryden’s actions, Sienna cursed him inwardly, “Pah, old pervert. Clearly, you just want to sleep with her, yet you grandly claim it’s for the development of Marine and Sky Films and Television. Disgusting!”
Dylan Dryden went straight out of the lobby and then reached out to stop Leo and the others, forcing a strained smile. “Young lady, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. If you’re dissatisfied with the treatment, we can discuss it. Also, I can decide right now to make you a leading artist at Marine and Sky Films and Television. In the future, I guarantee you’ll become a big star. How about that?”
Although Sienna was dissatisfied, she followed to please Dylan Dryden, wearing the supposed arrogance of a star on her face. “Young lady, just agree to Mr. Dryden. As long as you participate in this TV series, I’m sure you can become a big star like me.”
These two people were like two annoying flies. Leo, not pleased, said, “Mr. Dryden, and Miss Sienna, please step aside. We’ve already said we have no interest in your offer.”
Dylan Dryden glanced at Leo and then scornfully said, “Who are you to her? Why would you stop her from becoming a big star? Don’t you think what you’re doing is selfish?”
Leo now finally understood what it meant to use strong arguments to distort facts.
Violet now found Dylan Dryden very annoying, and Leo’s displeasure made her mood less beautiful. “Leo, this guy is blocking our way. I want to hit him!”
Coral couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking this little girl was indeed cute.
Leo nodded and said, “If you want to hit him, go ahead.”
The conversation between the two made Dylan Dryden pause for a moment, and then he couldn’t help but laugh. “Little girl, don’t joke around.”
In Dylan Dryden’s view, if Leo wanted to hit him, it might be okay. But if it was a little loli… It was a bit funny.
However, Violet was serious. “I’m not joking with you; I’m serious.”
With that, Violet extended her right hand and flicked Dylan Dryden’s forehead.
With a light sound, Dylan Dryden’s plump body retreated two steps, then tilted backward and fell to the ground, his head slanting. It seemed like he had fainted.
Sienna was first stunned and then couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Dryden, your acting skills are much better than those young actors who acted with me.”
Sienna could never believe that a little girl could flick Dylan Dryden into fainting. So, the only explanation was that Dylan Dryden deliberately teased this little loli.
But strangely, after waiting for a while, Dylan Dryden didn’t get up from the ground, and his eyes didn’t open.
Sienna had to squat down, pushing Dylan Dryden’s body with her hand, and calling out, “Mr. Dryden, stop playing, wake up quickly.”
Soon, Sienna realized one thing: Dylan Dryden wasn’t playing; he had actually fainted.
