Rick had been waiting for Anna at the gate. After all, she hadn’t been here before. Rick led the way in person, afraid that she would feel embarrassed.
Gorgeous European palace-style decorations were displayed in the corridor. Surrounded by classical music, Anna felt like she as in a palace.
Anna took a careful glance. The attendees tonight were not only pop stars but also movie superstars, even Serena, the well-known Asian advertising queen who she met several times.
Anna sat at the bar, drinking champagne alone. The lavender long dress reinforced her elegance and over-worldly beauty.
Rick introduced her to a movie superstar, “Hugo, this is our new actress, Anna.”
Though she wasn’t a professional movie actress, Anna knew his status in the film industry very well. A decade ago, he had established a firm foothold in Hollywood, shooting in many action movies. The achievement he made today was equal to that others struggled for all their life.
Anna smiled elegantly and addressed him politely, “Mr. Hugo…”
“Nice to meet you. I’m looking forward to our cooperation.”
“My pleasure.”
“Is Anna here?” The rest of them noticed their presence and walked over to greet them with champagne. Rick was introducing with a smile and hoped Anna could fit in as soon as possible.
After the introduction, Anna chose to sit next to Serena.
They were once compared by the media. However, Serena was a child star and acted with international superstars at a very young age. Her strength couldn’t be underestimated.
Serena looked around at Anna with a smile. “How is it? Do you get used to it?”
“Not bad…”
“You’ll feel better soon. The Dahlia is a unique place where all kinds of talents gather together.” Serena took a sip. Cupping her chin, she asked, “Where is your agent? Didn’t he come with you?”
“I haven’t seen my agent yet,” Anna told the truth.
“I heard that you’re going to shoot an ad in France. It’s a famous brand in that local area. Many artists even fought for it, even those from the Ole.” Serena paused and added, “I remember you didn’t work well with them before you retired. You’ll meet them on various occasions in the future. Be careful.”
Anna looked at her face and nodded.
“You must be familiar with infighting for resources. But the Dahlia is different. You’ll know. Of course, it also depends on the strength of your agent and your rapport.”
Anna knew it depended on the strength and sometimes on backgrounds. The higher level the resource was, the more intense the competition was.
But she didn’t know who her agent was. She couldn’t draw any conclusions.
Anna had a free and comfortable talk with Serena. They reached the same view on many things. Rick walked past them and said mysteriously, “Actually, our CEO will be here tonight.”
Everyone beamed with surprise, and some even applauded with excitement.
As the CEO of the Dahlia, Jack had an exclusive elevator. Besides, he rarely showed up. Therefore, for all of them, Jack was like a mysterious emperor, more brilliant than any superstars.
