Chapter 136
“Okay, stop messing around. Did you find the female celebrity I need?” Richard asked, his tone businesslike.
Hanzel, after glancing at Pearl, nodded reluctantly. “I checked out the recently popular celebrities, but I couldn’t find the kind of glamorous model you’re looking for.”
Clearly, they needed two types of women to portray an angel and a demon. Pearl, with her pure and charming demeanor, could play the angel, while they needed a glamorous woman for the demon role.
“You didn’t find anyone? Then you can forget about being a star. I’ll have your company suspend your contract, and you can return to work at the company,” Richard threatened, knowing well how to use his influence.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hanzel pleaded, “Don’t, Rick. I told you it’s difficult to find this kind of character because there are too few women of this type in the entertainment industry. Most are just vulgarly S**y. There are hardly any women who possess an aloof and attractive aura.”
“It doesn’t mean there are none. I’ll give you one day to find someone, and if you fail, say goodbye to your showbiz career,” Richard stated firmly, giving Hanzel one last chance.
Hearing that, Pearl offered a reassuring smile to Hanzel and pointed at a news article on the computer screen, saying calmly, “I think she might be a good fit.”
The article featured a sweet, adorable, and pure young woman on the cover. She was a new rising star named Esther Sanders.
“What does she have to do with being glamorous?” Hanzel asked, baffled, as Esther appeared purer and cuter than Pearl.
Smiling, Pearl explained, “She’ll be the angel, and I’ll be the demon.”
“But you don’t look like a demon either,” Hanzel muttered.
Richard felt better seeing Pearl’s confidence because he trusted her judgment. Without wasting time, he instructed someone to negotiate a collaboration with Esther.
Unexpectedly, Esther agreed to the proposal without much fuss.
The shooting was set for this Sunday at three o’clock in the afternoon.
Pearl arrived at the set early, driven by her curiosity. She had never met such a popular TV star before.
Esther arrived not long after Pearl got there. Contrary to her pure and cute image on television, Esther came across as somewhat arrogant, behaving like a spoiled princess.
When she saw Pearl, she sized the latter up and asked, “You’re Pearl?”
Pearl nodded. “Yes, I’m Pearl.”
“I heard you have an engagement with the five Waldorf brothers, is that true?”
