Annetta left after that final warning. Esme looked down at Carla and said to the bodyguard beside her, "What are you waiting for? Send her to the hospital at once!"
The bodyguard quickly carried Carla out.
Esme looked at the scattered crowd and said to the remaining bodyguard, "Go and find out more about Annetta White. Find out every detail about her. If you can't find anything, ask K to help."
"Yes, Ma'am." The man received the order and left.
Leo and Caleb came out not long after the situation with Carla. Judging from Caleb's dejected face, Annetta knew that Leo had won the audition.
A staff member followed behind Leo and walked over to Annetta. The staff member sized her up and asked with a bit of disbelief, "Are you Leo's manager?"
Despite her desire to be Leo's manager, Annetta was still his junior in age. She was worried that Leo would be unable to accept this. So she hadn't mentioned it to him and had instead used her position as a junior to assist him in obtaining resources.
She never expected Leo to tell others that she was his agent.
Annetta was a bit surprised and moved. She said to the staff member, "Yes, I am Leo's manager."
Annetta immediately knew that everything would be different from her previous life when she said these words. She would officially start her career here.
The staff was surprised and thought that Annetta was a bit too young, but she did not say anything about it except "Please come in, Mr. Ross wants to see you."
When Annetta and Leo entered, they heard another staff member announce that the supporting male lead role had already been filled and that those who had come to audition could leave. He went on to say that because Mr. Ross was occupied after this, those who came to audition for other roles could come back tomorrow.
The others were surprised after the announcement. "The supporting male lead has already been confirmed after just a few auditions ?"
Esme glanced at him and said, "Let's go."
Caleb followed her away without saying a word. When they walked outside, Caleb commented, "Ms. Bennett, is there something wrong with Mr. Ross? I told him that the Taylor family will invest in his movie as long as he chooses me to be the supporting male lead. In the end, he still chose Leo, a poor sophomore with no acting experience!"
Esme secretly sneered at Caleb's complaint as she thought, "Gino Ross had plenty of investors lined up waiting to invest in his movie. What difference would an investment from the Taylor family make?"
However, because the Taylor family was wealthy and generous and had provided her with numerous benefits, Esme attempted to console him. "It's all right. I still have many contacts who are looking for a male lead. Let's go find a lead role instead of being a supporting character!"
Caleb felt much better after hearing Esme's consolation.
However, he was still fuming on the inside. He didn't mind anyone else getting the role, but why did it have to be Leo, someone that Annetta had selected?
