Karter nodded. "Yes, I took them on myself. I got tired of filming, so I wanted a change of pace."
"You can have a change of pace by going on vacation. I don't really agree with your choice to take on these variety shows."
Gwenda gave him an objective suggestion.
Hearing this, Karter frowned. "Why?"
"First of all, you're an actor. If an actor is exposed long-term to the public, they will have trouble immersing themselves in your roles when they watch you act.
"Other than that, variety shows are for good actors who are unable to get any new roles for the time being. A capable artist like you who does not lack resources should not be on variety shows. At least, you shouldn't be now."
When Gwenda said that, Karter's expression darkened and he replied solemnly, "I do not agree with your statement. I believe that a good actor would not affect their profession by participating in variety shows. There is no conflict between the two."
Gwenda did not expect him to contradict her, and she raised an eyebrow.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.
Seeing this, Eloise promptly spoke up to smooth things over. "Both your statements are justified. However, since he has already agreed to take part in these variety shows, I think it's best not to turn them down. After Karter is done with these shows, he can continue preparing to take on new roles. What do you think, Gwenda?"
Gwenda did not reply. She casually drummed her fingers on the table, her face expressionless.
A sense of frostiness filled the meeting room.
It was Eloise's first time seeing such an expression on Gwenda's face. Although she had experienced all sorts of things in the industry, she could not help but panic a little when she saw the way Gwenda pursed her lips without saying anything.
On the other hand, Karter seemed to be persistent in upholding his own opinion of the matter and had no intention of backing down.
Both were at an impasse, and the atmosphere became awkward.
A while later, Gwenda sighed and rubbed her temples, deciding to compromise. "Forget it. If you want to go, you may do so. But I must remind you to keep your distance from the female guests of the show."
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm not the kind who likes to pull publicity stunts."
Karter was a little unhappy with Gwenda's words.
Gwenda did not argue with him. "I know you don't like doing that, but that doesn't mean that others won't use your name for publicity stunts."
After all, this sort of thing had happened often in her previous life.
