Tony was visibly taken aback by the director’s reaction! Michael was a top-tier director in the industry, someone that many leading actors dreamt of working with. And now, he was personally inviting Flora to be a part of his new film.
For the role of the third lead, no less!
Most people would jump at such an opportunity.
Michael thought so too.
But to his surprise, Flora turned him down.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."
"Do you think the third lead role is beneath you?" Michael asked, his face stern with confusion. It was the first time someone had rejected him outright. Did this girl think she could hold out for the lead role?
"Director, you misunderstand," Flora said, noticing Tony’s surprised expression. She smiled gently, "I don’t want to act because I’m not from the entertainment industry, and I don’t know how to act."
"Being new and inexperienced is normal. You have to start somewhere," Michael encouraged. Flora's demeanor was so similar to the character of the third lead in his film that he thought she could play the role naturally—hence his approach.
Tony watched in awe. Ms. Flora was truly something else.
Not far away, Aisha’s face darkened with envy. Though she couldn't hear the conversation between Michael and Flora, the excitement among the directors and producers nearby was evident.
Aisha had already approached Michael about the third lead role in his new film. For someone of her status, taking on a third lead role was already a step down, yet Michael had rejected her almost instantly after a brief audition.
