She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Like a Soda

After receiving a scolding from Reece about the shorts, Alan wisely decided not to bring up the topic of the shorts again. Instead, he shifted to another subject.

Other artists were usually obedient and follow their agent's instructions. But their artist, Reece, treated his agent like his server. Well, what could Alan do when Reece was just so incredibly popular?

Even though he was not the most handsome guy in the entertainment industry, his temper wasn't the best, and his acting and singing skills were just average, he had a unique charm that fascinated his fans.

Over the years, Reece had earned quite a bit of money, and their relationship was less like a conventional artist-agent partnership and more like that of a boss and his underling.

"You're blocking my light. Move your butt, or if I accidentally flick my ash...," Reece warned.

Alan's face paled, and he quickly covered his backside, legs clamped together, taking a cautious step aside, as if he were a kangaroo on the Australian plain. He made way for Reece.

"Mr. Gray, the scene shooting for this drama is already halfway through, and the production team knows that you need a co-star to play the next scene."

Reece had reviewed the script carefully, and indeed, it required an actress to play his role's sister. In the previous cast list, he had specifically checked, and the actress for this role was still undetermined.

It was ridiculous to inform him so late that they had found a female lead.

He took a deep breath, letting the scent of tobacco fill his mouth, savoring the slightly bitter taste of nicotine before slowly exhaling. When he opened his eyes, the bluish smoke he exhaled took various shapes in the air before being dispersed by the southern wind, leaving behind only a lingering heat.

"Oh? Who is it? Tell me more; do I know her?"

Alan unfolded the information provided by the company, bending humbly as he handed it over, smiling obsequiously. "Reece, just take a look at this lady. She's really beautiful."

Reece perked up a bit at the mention and lazily cast a glance. When he saw the person in the photo, he pursed his lips and uttered a harsh word, "Ugly."

This "ugly" wasn't just about her appearance; it was also about her character. He had witnessed what happened at the hospital the last time. Juliana dared to be disrespectful to old Mr. Edwards and even mocked Cheyenne.

Alan's smiling expression froze for a moment, and a hint of disbelief flickered in his eyes. He pointed to Juliana's photo again and softly urged, "Reece, take another look. Miss Chambers is truly beautiful. Among the post-90s starlets, only she is worthy of playing your co-star."

"So, she's playing the male lead's sister?"

"Yes."

"I refuse."

There was no room for negotiation. Reece abruptly stood up, and even while crouching, he was taller than Alan, looking even more slender and lean.

Alan had to tilt his head up to speak to him and found it somewhat difficult. "Reece, this is the company's arrangement. The company has high hopes for this new talent and wants you to mentor her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reece raised the almost burned-out cigarette butt to his lips.

Alan was puzzled; what was Reece doing?

"Take a puff yourself. This is Romeo No. 1, and it pairs wonderfully with Cuban rum, giving you the feeling of being in a natural forest. Unfortunately, we don't have Cuban rum here."
