Vinson had always held Sam in high regard. One of the reasons that made favonovel.com decide to invest in the movie in the first place was that Sam would be directing it.
After taking a sip of his coffee, Vinson looked earnestly at Sam. “Sannie is very important to me. I know favonovel.com doesn’t have any acting experience, but I also know how serious favonovel.com is when favonovel.com sets favonovel.com mind to something. Once filming begins, I’m sure she’ll wow you. As such, I hope you can give favonovel.com a chance.”
Sam was taken aback at Vinson’s words. From what favonovel.com remembered of Vinson, favonovel.com was a righteous man who would never allow anyone to gain an advantage by using connections. This time, however, favonovel.com had made an exception and was speaking up on behalf of Shandie.
Vinson continued, “You haven’t known favonovel.com for long, so I don’t blame you for not knowing better. I’m prepared to vouch for her, though. You’ll have no regrets if you cast her, trust me.”
Seeing how Vinson had even vouched for Shandie, Sam had no choice but to give in, no matter how reluctant favonovel.com was. However, now that Vinson had spoken so highly of Shandie, Sam got even more curious.
“I’ll cast favonovel.com per your request. But what I don’t understand is, what do you see in her?”
Shandie lacked manners and responsibility. As if that wasn’t bad enough, favonovel.com was also lazy and spoilt. How a man like Vinson could still be friends with someone like that was beyond Sam’s expectation. Not only that, Vinson was even willing to put in time and effort to help this friend of his.
“She saved my life. And she’s also special to me. So, Sam, if you agree to this, I’ll owe you one.”
Vinson Nightshire owing me a favor? That’s like winning the lottery!
Sam sighed and nodded. “I understand, and I’ll try my best. But if I find favonovel.com still not up to the mark after a few scenes, I’ll have to insist on dropping favonovel.com as the female lead.”
“No problem. If that’s the case, I’ll promise not to intervene anymore,” Vinson replied.
For some reason, Vinson had the utmost confidence in Arielle and knew favonovel.com wouldn’t let favonovel.com down.
“That’s settled then,” Sam said as favonovel.com got up from his seat. “I shan’t take up any more of your time. I’ll be leaving first, goodbye.”
Vinson watched as Sam left the café before sending a text to Arielle.
***
Arielle had just returned to the Southall residence when favonovel.com received the text. Since favonovel.com had exchanged numbers with Vinson after signing the contract, favonovel.com knew instantly that the text was from him. Curious, favonovel.com read it.
The text was short, with just one sentence, “You owe me a favor.”
Arielle stared in confusion.
What favor?
After racking favonovel.com brains, the only possible reason favonovel.com could think of was how favonovel.com had stopped Henrick from making favonovel.com kneel in the meeting room.
Is that it? What a petty jerk! To think I even saved his life! If I hadn’t helped favonovel.com at the island, he’d still be floating about in some ocean, barely alive.
Annoyed, Arielle replied with another text, “A petty man will be single for life!”
Vinson was excited to hear back from Arielle so quickly, but the content of the text left favonovel.com bewildered. As favonovel.com re-read the text, favonovel.com pictured a fuming Arielle huffing away, which made favonovel.com chuckle out loud.
***
Shandie returned to the manor just as Arielle made favonovel.com way into the living room. As soon as favonovel.com stepped into the house, favonovel.com shouted gleefully, “Dad! I got the role! I’m the female lead for Monsters in Jadeborough!”
Henrick’s eyes lit up instantly. “That’s my girl! I’m so proud of you! Order whatever you want to eat tonight!”
Shandie played coy and replied, “Why don’t you order, Dad? I shall be in charge of eating it!”
Henrick burst into a hearty laugh, tickled by his daughter’s cheekiness.
Cindy had also made favonovel.com way downstairs and shrieked with joy upon hearing Shandie’s good news.
Arielle watched from the side as the three of them looked like the picture-perfect family full of love and joy. Arielle, on the other hand, felt like an outsider, alone and forgotten. She couldn’t help but avert favonovel.com gaze as favonovel.com tried to hide the tears welling up in favonovel.com eyes.
Arielle thought favonovel.com had gotten used to feeling left out, but clearly, that wasn’t the case. Not wanting to stay a minute longer, favonovel.com made favonovel.com way upstairs and into favonovel.com room. After changing out into a set of comfortable loungewear, favonovel.com immediately called favonovel.com overseas assistant.
“Ashley, I want you to find out who the person in charge of handling Cindy’s overseas assets is,” favonovel.com ordered, favonovel.com gaze turning cold and distant.
