Nicole became the center of the reporters’ focus due to her role in the movie, alongside the two main male protagonists. During the interview, she presented her best self and reacted in a decent manner, while the reporters subtly avoided any sensitive topic. Instead, they asked her questions about the movie ‘War Dragon’ and were given sufficient answers.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Xyla were left in the cold as they jealously glared at Nicole. What has this b*tch done to deserve playing as the main female protagonist? She should go back to acting in her ‘soap opera’! Xyla wished Nicole could just concede to her and step down from the main role, but she soon realized that there was another challenger standing in her way—Olivia.
With someone who possesses powerful connections like her, I suppose she is out of my league, but since I stand no chance to play the role, Nicole doesn’t deserve to either.
Then, Xyla looked askance at Olivia, whose jealousy got the better of her, and said, “I’m tired of this bullsh*t! It’s like Nicole has no sense of shame at all! Her little experience doesn’t even qualify her to play the main role. No one else fits the role better than you do, Olivia! Don’t you ladies think so?”
“Exactly! She is barely educated, and her acting skills suck, but unfortunately, we’re no match for her when it comes to performing in bed!”
“That’s right! Who else is a better candidate than you in playing the protagonist, Olivia?”
Despite what they said, every one of them had the same thought deep down, which they reckoned only they themselves were the best fit for the role. Meanwhile, Olivia’s ego was inflated by those fake compliments as she began to be convinced that she was a better candidate than Nicole was to play the role, although she had only been in this line of work for less than a year. In fact, Olivia was chosen into the cast because of her relationship with Elizabeth. Besides that, the director happened to be Elizabeth’s fan, or she wouldn’t even have made it past the audition.
After brief contemplation, Olivia approached Xyla and said, “Xyla, I know your boyfriend works in Glory Entertainment Company, so you’re the only one who can make this happen.”
Upon noticing Olivia’s reaction, Xyla knew what she was up to, so she pretended to say, “Just speak your mind, Olivia! I’ll do everything in my power to help you!”
Olivia’s eyes lit up. “I want to smear Nicole’s name and drive her away from the cast!”
In the meantime, the new semester in all universities across Bayside City would begin in the middle of September, which was around when Michael would finish his shoot. Until then, Sophia was waiting for her husband to finish his work so that they could visit the Panda Foundation together. While the news about the Imperial Seal’s return was still viral across the nation, the announcement regarding Taylor’s new movie about this national artifact only added to the star’s recent popularity, as well as that of the War Dragon’s cast.
At the same time, both the actor and actress were absorbed in the filming process, while Sophia had high expectations for the movie, believing that it would set a new record in the box office. Soon, Michael gave the hotspot to his personal assistant, Danny, who was needed by his side at all times, so he could only follow wherever they went in order to stay connected.
As the shoot was nearing completion, both actors were seen filming a final fight scene. Trained by the special force, Michael performed all his stunts by himself, while Harry easily managed the actions, thanks to his ancestral background in the underworld. Because of that, the shoot went on without a hitch. In fact, this was Taylor’s first action movie, in which he played as a mercenary, although his role was a villain.
On the other hand, Sophia was busy chatting with her friends on social media, reading a text message from Stanley. ‘Eddie, when are you going to be back? Do you still care about the company? Hey, Eddie! Say something, Mrs. Murray! Are you there?’
