Leighton’s eyelid twitched as he ignored Nicole’s absurd accusations. The reporter attempted to extract more information from him. However, Leighton remained tight- lipped, only responding to questions related to the movie. The journalist had no choice but to steer the conversation back to the film.
After a while, the interview concluded. Leighton walked over to Stella, saying, “Hey, let me head to the restroom, and we can grab a meal together later.”
Felicity seized the opportunity to get an autograph and gave him a thumbs-up.
“You did great, Leighton!”
Leighton chuckled and headed to the restroom. Stella and Felicity sat in the lounge, waiting for him.
Shortly after, Nicole entered, handing them each an orange. She winked and said, “We’re at a movie press conference, yet the lead actor is sitting in the audience?”
Stella chuckled and joked, “That’s because I don’t want to be overshadowed by your radiance on stage.”
Nicole laughed, “Well, aren’t you sweet? Why did you quit The Enclosure?”
Stella smiled and replied, “I decided to inherit the family business.”
Nicole was stunned to hear that. “I think you should reconsider; the script is really good,” she sincerely advised her.
At this stage of her career, Nicole had countless opportunities at her fingertips.
However, Stella required a standout film to elevate her visibility as a rising newcomer striving to make her mark in the industry.
Stella shook her head and explained, “I can’t shoot for the time being due to my health. Besides, I’ve invested money into this. It’s only best that you play the role.”
