It was like the deal between Lucy Katz and Joel Foster did not exist.
If Lucy’s mother was not staying at the St. Petersburg Hospital, she would have felt a bit oblivious as to whether the deal that day even happened.
However, if Joel did not look for her, she certainly was not about to take the initiative.
She could only act as if she had forgotten.
Life went on like this. Today, they finally finished the last scene and the crew was celebrating. At night, the director booked a restaurant and invited everyone over.
Lucy, as the lead actress, was naturally invited.
She went into the dressing room and got changed, then went over with her assistant and a few other supporting actresses.
However, when she got to the restaurant, she noticed that the director did not only book one private room, there were people in the other 2 private rooms.
One of the private rooms was for the crew members and the innermost VIP private room hosted a few guests who were specially invited by the director.
It was unexpected, but Lucy did not overthink this and went into her private room.
Shortly after, others arrived.
The director also arrived but he did not stay for too long in her private room. He just drank a bit with everyone and pulled Lucy out individually.
Lucy came out to the hallway and asked, “Director, is there something you need?”
The director looked at her and smiled.
“It’s like this. After collaborating with you this time, I personally really appreciate your ability. Since now is the closing ceremony for this series, I will be directing another movie. I’m not sure if you’ll be interested. If you’re interested, I’d like you to play the female lead.”
Lucy was taken aback and was a bit surprised.
She liked working with this director and was confident in his character.
Since he wanted to collaborate with her again, he must have thought about it carefully and was not joking.
As an actress, as long as the script was good, there would be no reason to reject him.
Therefore, Lucy nodded her head and replied, “Of course I’m interested! Thanks for appreciating my talent, Director.”
The director had already inferred she would say this and smiled.
“Coincidentally, the movie’s investor and screenwriter are here. They wanted to rush for a script, so they would like to ask if you have any opinions. If you don’t mind, you can come with me.”
Lucy promptly agreed.
The director let Lucy back into her private room to bid her colleagues goodbye before he brought her into another private room.
After she entered the room, she noticed that 3 men were already inside along with a female screenwriter.
The most surprising was that Simon Wilburn, the male lead who she partnered with in the previous series, was also there.
Simon Wilburn saw her and waved at her while he smiled.
“Oh! I thought you wouldn’t come over! Looks like you’re pretty ballsy. Come sit with me!”
