A thought came to his mind when he remembered that his wife had a close relationship with Ashlyn.
In the hall, Lisa was eating peanuts and chatting with her other female colleagues.
“I heard they hired a new producing director this year.”
“I wonder if she is young...”
“Rumor has it that Mr. Field has found an expert this time.”
They were trading rumors and gossips with each other.
Some female performers from other companies joined their conversation. “I wonder if she is pretty.”
With a surly expression on her face, Janet cast a glance at the three co-producers standing not far away and kicked up a fuss, “Last year, I played no leading parts at all. My parts were so insignificant that my father had to wait all night just to see me on the screen for two seconds.”
Another performer started complaining, “Me too! I was annoyed because our show was scheduled as the last few performances. My grandma almost fell asleep waiting for my turn to perform.”
The ladies were expressing their dissatisfaction with the co-producers.
The co-producers stood in the corner of the hall; none of them dared to utter a word.
With a smug smile on her face, Janet continued to stir the pot by saying, “If the new producing director is incompetent, we should protest and ask them to replace her with someone else.”
Just then, they heard a calm voice coming from outside the door. “Excuse me, may I know who is it that you want to replace?”
The performers unanimously turned to look in the direction of the doorway.
A tall and svelte figure was walking toward them.
It was a woman in white sportswear and she was wearing a pair of clunky sneakers.
The dim light shone on her like a spotlight, but they couldn’t see her features as half of her face was hidden under the baseball cap that she was wearing.
Her silky black hair was tied into a long ponytail, which swayed slightly following the rhythm of her footsteps.
Ashlyn stepped on the stage and raised her head slightly.
