Meanwhile, Cordy made her way toward Jay and sat with him, since she thought better of him in comparison to the others.
Jay greeted her in turn, and they both made small talk.
When his phone rang and he got to his feet, Cordy quickly moved to help him.
"I'm alright, thanks." Jay turned her down politely, and limped on his crutch to another corner.
Although his life was saved thanks to the treatment abroad, his right leg was still crippled after that accident.
Though it was fortunate that no limbs needed to be amputated, he was still denied a normal life.
He returned to Cordy after answering his call, and she did not ask who it was—they were not that close.
Still, Jay asked casually, "Do you usually watch variety shows?"
"Why?" Cordy asked in surprise.
"I've just received a notice that North City Channel is planning to organize this variety show called Actors on Set. Actors and actresses would be invited, and I was invited as a judge too—their production team just called, but I'm hesitant."
"North City TV's variety shows are quality-assured," Cordy said shortly.
It was during one such variety show that saw her shooting to fame and opened a new chapter to her career.
In fact, over the last few years, North City TV's variety shows were wildly popular and basically dominating the scene.
"If you have the time, I think you can take part as well—if you're willing, of course. In the end, the variety show means plenty of programs, and you can check if the arrangements are acceptable to you beforehand," Cordy said what she thought then.
"I have only one film planned for release next spring, and it's still in pre-production at the moment. Production proper would just take a couple months, but I was wondering if I should free up my schedule for the rest of the year, and I don't think I want to get involved in film or drama series."
"It's not like you can't use the variety show to select actors and actresses for your planned projects."
Jay smiled. "You're really smart."
