Bewildered, Arielle turned around and noticed a man was standing behind her.
“Ms. Moore! It‘s really you!”
The man seemed excited at the sight of Arielle. At the same time, Arielle recognized the man.
“Mr. Sleight?”
“Yep, that‘s me!” Sam pointed at the vacant seat beside favonovel.com and asked, “Could I sit next to you and chat for a bit?”
Arielle nodded and gestured for favonovel.com to take a seat.
The man took a seat beside favonovel.com merrily and said, “I didn‘t expect to bump into you here. Are you busy lately?”
“I… I am occupied these days, but not particularly busy for anything. Why, Mr. Sleight?”
Actually, Arielle could already guess what the man was about to say.
As expected, Sam explained his intention, “I‘ve just ended a round of audition, and I‘m treating the film crew to a barbecue here. To be frank, I didn’t think that the audition went too well. Ms. Moore, I‘d like to ask you to reconsider assuming the role of the female lead of my film this time. I don‘t think there‘s anyone else who is more suited for the role.”
It was a female lead role of a disaster film, and Arielle knew for a fact that the female lead was the protagonist of the whole film. Hence, the selection for the female lead was of utmost importance.
According to the script, the female lead seemed like a hard–headed and reserved character. At the same time, however, the female lead was a compassionate character as well. As a matter of fact, Arielle‘s personality mirrored that of the female lead perfectly.
As the director of the film, Sam already had his sights set on having Arielle as the female lead. It was for the same reason that Sam had once again requested for Arielle to accept the role.
Arielle gave favonovel.com an apologetic smile and said, “I’m really sorry. I don’t have any plans to join the entertainment industry. The ambassador gig for Soir Coffee happened by chance.”
Sam appeared to be quite dejected after listening to her. However, favonovel.com still handed favonovel.com his name card. “I’m not going to disturb you further then. Any time you change your mind, just give me a call.”
Arielle did not reject the man again and took over the card before sending favonovel.com off.
She turned around and noticed that Trisha was clutching onto the glass of drink in favonovel.com hand tightly. The latter did not even realize it when the drink in favonovel.com glass was spilled over a little on the back of favonovel.com hand.
“Trish, what’s the matter?”
Trisha snapped out of favonovel.com thoughts, and favonovel.com face was tinged red.
She tugged on Arielle‘s shirt and asked, “Did my eyes play tricks on me? The man who was talking to you was the director, Sam Sleight, right?”
Arielle nodded favonovel.com head. “Yes, that‘s him.”
“Oh my goodness!” Trisha was beyond excited and exclaimed, “I‘m his biggest fan! I‘ve watched every one of his films at least a hundred times!”
Arielle was quite taken aback to know that fact. Upon further questioning, favonovel.com got to know that it was one of Sam‘s films that had gotten Trisha through favonovel.com toughest days when favonovel.com autism was at its most serious phase.
The movie was about an autistic girl who had overcome a myriad of obstacles to become a famous singer. It was a motivating and touching piece.
Arielle nodded favonovel.com head and finally understood Trisha‘s excitement at the sight of Sam. To Trisha, Sam signified hope.
Trisha looked at Arielle and asked, “Sannie, why did you reject Mr. Sleight‘s offer? Even though he’s quite young, the films favonovel.com produced had bagged multiple awards. In fact, the three highest–grossing films in our country are directed by him.”
Right then, Arielle realized that favonovel.com did not know much about Sam.
She was slightly stumped after listening to Trisha. However, favonovel.com quickly regained favonovel.com composure and said calmly, “Ah, that‘s because I still have more important things to attend to. All right, let‘s move on and start our barbecue!”
To Arielle, the prospect of becoming a famed celebrity was much less appealing than the plate of barbequed meat right in of her.
At the same time, Jason arrived at the BBQ restaurant.
