Chapter 1384
She was well aware of her family background; even finding a decent talent agency was a stretch, let alone landing a leading role. She looked at the man in the black-framed glasses, asking, “Who are you?”
The man responded coldly. “All you need to tell me is if you want to be the female lead, if you want someone else to take the hits for you like you did today.”
Hannah smirked and said, “Of course, I do. If an actor doesn’t want to get the leading role, then they’re no good actors.”
The man in the glasses said. “There’s an opportunity for you to be the female lead right now. Are you gonna grab it?”
Even though she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, even though she suspected he was setting a trap, even though she knew she might be stepping into an abyss, the allure of being a female lead was too great for her. So great that she couldn’t resist.
She asked without hesitation, “What’s the opportunity?”
The man in the glasses pressed her, “You in or out?”
Hannah responded firmly. “I’m in.” She didn’t want her hard-earned roles to be taken away again, and she didn’t want to be a stand-in, constantly dealing with the harsh realities without a chance to show her worth.
She wanted to be the female lead. She wanted to shine so brightly that the whole world would see her.
The man in the glasses said, “Follow me.”
So she followed him down a long hallway, then took an elevator up to the penthouse suite. She heard that the main cast and producers lived in this building, a place that was off-limits for actors like her.
The man in the glasses slowly knocked on the door. Upon hearing the people inside asking them to enter, he cautiously opened the door, “President Dixon, I’ve brought her.”
Following his gaze, she saw a man in a white casual suit standing by a large floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone. She couldn’t see his face since he was standing with his back to them. He was tall and well-built. His silhouette was like a masterpiece. She looked at his back, guessing that his face must be handsome too.
As she was studying him, he turned around slowly. His sharp gaze fell on her. She saw his handsome face clearly. Her heart started pounding, and she felt very nervous.
She recognized this face, a public figure often seen on TV and the internet-Steven.
Steven, the youngest helmsman of the Dixon Group, young and rich. While he always seemed to be smiling, he was actually a cold and ruthless man.
She knew him, not just because he was a public figure. But also because he once reached out to help her.
He was looking at her. She was looking at him too.
