Chapter 2608: Chapter 2617: Bursting In
In the coffee shop, August Oliver put away the script he had shown Olivia Lewis, "You can think again about whether you want to take on this role, Iâll hold onto the script for you until the end of the month."
Olivia Lewisâs words had indeed moved him just now, but he still hoped she would accept the movie.
He chose among all the current scripts from Celestial Entertainment, and this one was the most suitable for her and the most likely to help her turn things around. He immediately approached Director Leigh upon obtaining the script, demanding that the lead female role be reserved for her. This was the first time he used his position to pressure others, resulting in Director Leigh nodding in agreement, yet Olivia Lewis didnât want to accept it.
"Director Leighâs films have a high chance of winning awards, and this script itself has many controversial points. Given your acting skills, I believe you can perform well in this movie." August Oliver looked deeply at her, his lips lightly speaking, "Besides this script, there isnât any movie plan at Celestial Entertainment that can compete with this film right now. The production team for this movie is excellent. Whether itâs the director, the script, props, lighting, or the art producer, theyâre all top-notch. I hope youâll reconsider. I still love watching you act."
When she acts, her whole being shines.
He was captivated by that light back then.
August Oliverâs earlier words were strictly business, with no hint of anything beyond that. It couldnât have been more normal. But added with that last sentence, it changed the feel completely, turning ambiguous.
The moment Olivia Lewis heard those words, her shoulders which had just relaxed due to the script, tensed up again and she nervously attempted to change the subject, "Uh... Iâll think about it. But the likelihood of me taking it is low, and Director Leighâs desired lead isnât me."
This script clearly looks like a well-polished work.
Director Leigh is on good terms with her; if the scriptâs role suited her, he would have approached her long ago.
Sheâs just now seeing the script, and August Oliver is the one who brought it over, which shows that Director Leighâs preferred actor isnât her. Sheâs indeed not suitable for this role.
"August Oliver, Iâve read the script. If youâre busy, you can go ahead with your work. Iâll call Sunny and ask her to come pick me up."
Once Olivia Lewis dealt with the script issue, she proactively suggested parting ways.
August Oliverâs expression showed no change, yet he didnât stand up.
Since he didnât leave, Olivia Lewis obviously couldnât leave herself. She was gritting her teeth, wondering how to slip away when she suddenly heard her name.
"Olivia."
"Olivia Lewis."
Two voices almost simultaneously called her.
Olivia Lewis instinctively looked behind August Oliver. The moment she recognized the man calling her with a menacing aura, she jumped out of her seat in shock.
Oh crap!!!!
Did she forget to check astrology before going out today?
First Director Leigh was replaced by August Oliver, and now theyâve run into Adam Sinclair right after. She almost didnât want to rant about how unlucky sheâs been recently, as three speechless lines slipped down her forehead, and she reached out with a twitching mouth to greet the man walking briskly towards them, "Hi, what a coincidence~ Youâre here for coffee too~"
Adam Sinclairâs temple twitched violently, his gaze deepened as he looked at her, yet he forcibly held back, turning to face August Oliver with a false smile, "Director Oliver, what a coincidence, I havenât had the chance to congratulate you on becoming Oscarâs director."
August Oliver also stood up, adjusted his suit, expressionless, and said blandly, "Young Master Sinclair, why are you here."
