At the ti, Anna was discussing the upcoming script with Mary.
"Anna, this fantasy drama script was also sent to you before. But when you auditioned for the lead role in ’Step by Step’, they delayed this project just to wait for you. I heard the screenwriter especially appreciates your image. I see fans on Weibo are also eagerly comnting, saying they’re very much looking forward to seeing your fantasy look."
Anna knew this was a fantasy drama adapted from a hugely popular novel; she had read the original novel.
"I’ve also read a few episodes of the script before, and they respect the original work quite a lot. Plus, the director and screenwriter lineup is good. However, if I were to play the fairy in this drama, there’s one problem!"
"What problem?"
Anna: "It’s just typecasting, not much of a challenge!"
Mary: "..."
As expected, the narcissistic quotes of the ’National First Fairy’ are never too late.
"By the way, President Willow just sent over the information on the company’s new artists, do you want to take a look?"
"Sure!" Anna also thought of picking out so promising newcors to recomnd to the production team later.
After all, if a newcor succeeds, it also brings money to the company.
Anna had just finished looking at one set of information when Conrad Sterling burst in.
"Conrad Sterling? You..."
"Co with to a place!"
The man ca forward with a cold face and grabbed Anna without allowing her to speak.
...
After several days, President Sterling visited Starlight Entertainnt again, naturally attracting attention.
Angela was in the makeup room when she heard two newcors discussing.
Soone even ca specially to inform her: "Angela, President Sterling just ca to the company, did he co to see you?"
"You said President Sterling... no, Conrad ca to the company?"
"Yeah, we saw him downstairs just now, and President Sterling is even more handso than his edited photos in magazines!"
"And his presence is incredibly strong, I didn’t even dare to breathe at the ti! It turns out soone can indeed be so handso that it’s dizzying!"
These newcors were all found by Henry Willow from talent shows, still inexperienced.
Plus, there was always a rumor in the company that Angela was personally recruited by President Sterling, and her treatnt was different from theirs.
Angela, following the misunderstanding, nodded: "Got it, I’ll go back to the studio now."
However, Angela didn’t return to her studio after leaving the makeup room.
She heard that Anna was also at the company today, and since Conrad Sterling showed up, he must be here for her.
When Angela hurried over, she happened to catch Conrad Sterling taking Anna away.
At that ti, Anna was resisting the man’s grip on her hand. In a mont of impulse, Angela rushed over to stop him.
"President Sterling, wait for !"
Angela quickly stepped in front of Conrad Sterling, but the man dodged her with distaste.
"Who are you?"
"I... I’m Angela Thornton!"
Angela didn’t expect that he had completely forgotten her, so she bit her lower lip and reluctantly added, "I’m Anna’s cousin."
Hearing this, Conrad Sterling turned back to Anna, as if asking her if it was true.
But he did not let go of Anna’s hand because of it.
"President Sterling, I... I have sothing to say to my cousin, just a few words."
"She’s busy today!"
Conrad Sterling didn’t even give a chance for a few words, directly dragging Anna away.
Anna was unwilling, but the man picked her up horizontally and left the company in front of everyone’s eyes.
Leaving Angela standing there awkwardly, feeling chaotic amidst the wind.
Also leaving those who ca to watch dumbfounded.
Because with Conrad Sterling there, no one dared to approach within ten ters of him.
Now that Conrad had walked away, others dared to co up and ask Angela.
"Angela, what just happened?"
"Wasn’t President Sterling here for you? Why did he end up carrying Anna away?"
"President Sterling didn’t seem too happy, what did he say to you?"
At the mont when she was rejected by Conrad Sterling, Angela bit her teeth silently in embarrassnt.
But now, in front of others in the company, she took a deep breath and forced herself to explain, "Isn’t it true that many people don’t know, Anna is actually my cousin."
"What? You’re Anna’s cousin?"
Anna Thornton! Angela Thornton!
The two nas did sound similar, but no one had ever put them together.
That was because since Angela ca to Aethelgard, she hadn’t had the chance to appear alongside Anna.
She wanted to, but Anna had been filming outside for the past few months, so there was no opportunity.
Angela had tried calling, but Anna didn’t pick up.
"Well, it’s actually not a big deal. President Sterling was indeed here for today, but my cousin wasn’t feeling well, so I asked him to help take her to the hospital."
Angela ca up with this excuse on the spot, but she surprisingly acted as if it was quite real, without a flustered face.
One dared to say it, and surprisingly, the others dared to believe it, too.
"But I saw Anna this morning, and she didn’t look sick at all!"
"I don’t know about that! After all, she’s my cousin; I’d be worried if sothing happened to her." Angela shook her head helplessly like a white lotus.
Soone imdiately took the bait: "Angela, you’re really too naive. Even if she’s your cousin, you can’t be completely unguarded. You have to be careful she might steal your boyfriend!"
"Didn’t Anna use President Sterling for hype before? I heard she even contacted reporters to take those photos."
"Did you see that scene earlier? It’ll definitely make headlines tomorrow. That’s why Anna is the most popular in our company now; no one can stir up hype like her."
"She holds all the cards now. With Marilyn Ford gone, she’s the biggest."
"Don’t insult Marilyn. Marilyn was a legitimate film queen, who is Anna? Just a flow star who relies on tying up with n for publicity. How can she compare to Marilyn?"
"Hey, don’t say things like that! After all, she’s my cousin. I still trust her."
"Angela, you’re too kind!"
...
These people didn’t know the truth but automatically sided with Angela.
Slandering soone didn’t need evidence, after all, everyone had seen President Sterling’s ’dizzying’ princess carry of Anna.
Who wouldn’t be sour? You need to vent a bit when you’re sour, right?
And spreading gossip about President Sterling and Angela was vivid. Naturally, if they could get on the good side of the future woman by President Sterling, it would be even better.
Although Angela told everyone not to maliciously speculate about Anna, hearing so many people criticize the latter actually made her feel quite satisfied.
After all, why should Anna have been better than her since they were kids!
Not only is she prettier, she has a better family background, but even the n who like her are exceptional one after another.
Angela couldn’t figure out what it was all about.
