In actuality, the role did not offer many opportunities for growth, nor did it necessitate much acting abilities.
The salary, however, was higher than what Carrie offered.
“You've seen the scripts. Which would you like to take on?”
After considering it for a moment, Donald decided to let Evelyn choose.
“I-I think that one is pretty good.”
Belle smiled with satisfaction; Evelyn's finger was pointed at her script.
No rookie would say no to the temptation of a fat check. Evelyn is the same as all the rest despite her innocent appearance.
“Are you sure?” Donald asked her again.
After hesitating for a moment, Evelyn nodded firmly.
“All right, then. That settles it.”
Donald returned the other script to Carrie. “Sorry to disappoint. Perhaps we could work together another time.”
Before Carrie could speak, her assistant, Toby Gowen, interjected from behind her, “You are Ms. Shabelle's agent, Mr. Campbell. How could you allow her free rein like that? You said so yourself—Dragon Fide Corporation can match this sum of a hundred and fifty grand, but the script we have written for Ms. Shabelle is more suited for her growth. Surely you can see that?”
Toby was indignant. The whole reason for setting up a meeting with Evelyn was that their employer saw potential in her.
Boss has been in this business for three decades. He has never been wrong about a person.
Thus, he was beside himself with panic when Evelyn chose Werner Brothers Studios over them.
Donald glanced at Toby. “You make it sound like you are doing it entirely for Evelyn's benefit.”
