"You are just a nameless artist with no solid portfolio. You're lucky to even be considered for this role," Sandra said disdainfully.
Margaret lifted her eyebrows and did not speak.
Sandra could not help but feel a little happy when she saw Margaret speechless.
Sure enough, Mr. Whelan's strategy worked.
They would ask Margaret to take on roles on second or third-rated shows.
Furthermore, she would be playing sadistically evil characters that would be disliked by the audience.
This way, Margaret would have a zero chance of becoming famous.
"Why? You don't want it? This is the company's arrangement, Margaret. Do you want to go against the company's will so soon after joining?" Sandra asked through gritted teeth.
Margaret put the script away and said, "Of course not. Please share the shooting details when you can. You may leave now, I want to rest."
Sandra snorted and headed out of the room.
Though she was Margaret's manager, Sandra was too irresponsible.
And not only was she irresponsible, but she also wanted to take Margaret down.
She wasn't secretive about her motives either.
However, Margaret could not do anything to her yet.
She watched as Sandra took her leave.
Lacy felt that the company was being unfair towards Margaret. She voiced out her thought, "Margaret, they've gone too far. It's obvious they're trying to bring you down. That's why they're making you play these roles."
A newbie's debut show to the public was of paramount importance.
It held so much weight as it would directly affect the audience's impression of the artist.
Therefore, many artists would choose to play the role of a good character for their debut.
"Bring me down?" Margaret looked thoughtfully at the script in her hand. "In fact, I think this role might be my big break."
Lacy looked at Margaret's mysterious face, feeling confused and puzzled.
