However, Rorey, who had a favor to ask, had to endure the humiliation she received and force herself to smile. She explained, “Ariella, I am sorry for disturbing you. But your agent didn’t want me to see you, so I was arguing a little with her. I have no ill intentions.”
Ariella Ning raised her brows as she exchanged glances with sister Xin, who was standing next to her. Then, she smiled. “sister Xin didn’t want anyone to disturb me because she thought I was resting.”
Hearing her explanation, Rorey smiled even further. “I can understand that.”
They smiled gently as they looked into each other’s eyes directly. Only they knew the calculations and dramas between them.
“You want the role of the second female lead?”
Hearing Rorey’s request, Ariella Ning was a little surprised before she sniggered silently. “How dare she dream of being the second female lead of such a huge IP with her popularity and acting skills?”
“She should be satisfied with the role of a servant.”
“Hum.” Rorey nodded. “I read the book that the show was based on. The second female lead was quite an endearing character. I believe that I will have a firm foothold in the entertainment industry if I can get this role.”
“Ha.” Ariella Ning chuckled before leaning back against the sofa. “Do you think you can act well in that part?”
“What do you mean?” Rorey’s gaze turned cold and harsh.
Ariella Ning smiled slightly. “Nothing much. since you wish to play that part, you should fight for yourself. The casting for the second female lead isn’t confirmed yet. You still have a chance.”
“Not much of a chance.” Ariella Ning murmured in her mind.
“Do I need you to tell me something I obviously know already?” Rorey smirked in her heart.
“I hope you can recommend me to Director Lin.” Rorey exposed her true intentions for coming here.
“What for?” The two women were unrelated. Furthermore, this was a huge production. She would be implicated too if her recommended actress messed up as the second female lead.
“What for?” Rorey frowned as she could not find any reason as well.
Ariella Ning did not want to help, and hence, glanced at her agent, sister Xin.
The latter immediately understood and said politely to Rorey, “Miss Gu, Ariella has another interview later. I’m afraid that she doesn’t have much time to chat with you.”
She was chasing her away.
Rorey looked at sister Xin before staring at Ariella Ning. The latter had a face of indifference. She obviously did not want to help her.
She bit her lips as if she was determined to do something before opening her mouth and saying, “If you help me, I will ask Yunis to thank you personally.”
She would never push Yunis out unless she had no choice. However, she was determined to obtain such a role, and thus…
She silently awaited Ariella Ning’s response with an eager heart.
With her eyes twitching, her cold sight landed on her body. Ariella Ning’s red lips curved into a smile. “Miss Gu, you are very smart.”
Ariella Ning was mocking her, but she merely stared intensely at Ariella Ning. “What about you, Ariella, are you smart?”
Ariella Ning’s expression froze before she quickly recovered. She smiled and replied, “I agree.”
Rorey’s eager heart calmed down as she heaved a sigh of relief before getting up. “I look forward to your good news.”
She glared at Ariella Ning before leaving with her agent.
When she left, sister Xin smirked. “Rorey spent an insane amount of effort trying to be popular. Even her fiancé can be used as a bargaining chip.”
Ariella Ning stared at her red fingernails as a glimmer of satisfaction rose in her eyes. “Soon, he will not be her fiancé.”
The poor Yunis did not know that his fiancée had betrayed him for a mere role.
