Chapter 404 Do You Want to Play Margot Pearce?
It was the reason why Zoe begged her father to invest 30 million into the drama that she could play a role in it. In the end, she felt a little proud of herself because of her role, but what she never expected was for the contract to be terminated at such a short notice.
“President Cohen, please give me another chance. I promise that I’ll discipline myself and prioritize my work from now on!”
Marcus revealed a cold face. “I value this drama highly, but I’m afraid that the behaviors of some actors will affect the ratings of this drama, so please understand. For the sake of your father’s reputation, I won’t publicly announce it, so you can tell the public that you terminated the contract on your own.”
At that moment, her eyes were covered by a layer of mist. Because of her misjudgment, not only did she embarrass herself, but she had also lost the chance to star in a drama that she finally had her hands on. It’s all because of Olivia. It’s all because of her. If she didn’t wear the same dress as mine and show the evidence to the public, I wouldn’t be embarrassed like this.
Zoe left the room and the venue in bitterness amidst everyone’s discussion.
Upon seeing her leaving, Olivia was confused as she saw Marcus emerging. “What happened to her?”
He answered, “I terminated her contract!”
“Because of me?” she asked.
He maintained a calm demeanor. “You are part of the reason, but not the whole part. Even if I want to create something to stimulate people’s interest, I don’t want to do it with an actress who lacks class like her. I’m worried that she will affect my drama’s ratings!”
Olivia asked again, “You’re not wrong. Then, do you have another actress on standby?”
“Of course I have. The last thing our company lacks is actors.” He glanced at her. “Margot Pearce is an unruly character who isn’t afraid to love or hate. To be honest, she sounds exactly like you! Are you interested?”
Her lips twitched a few times. “Nope. I’m too busy!”
Marcus stared. “You only have your designs in your head. It’s time to care for your company!”
“Am I not here?” she refuted.
He exclaimed, “You came here to cause trouble!”
Then, Olivia returned the stare. “Huh? Marcus, if you’re going to talk like this, I’m leaving!”
He grunted, “If you’re going, I’m leaving too!” After that, he actually wanted to leave.
But, she was able to grab hold of him. “What are you trying to do?”
Marcus pleaded, “Just give it a shot. It’s not like you haven’t acted before. I really can’t stand asking someone else to play this character. You will only have nine scenes in total. If all goes well, you will be done with filming in a few days and it won’t take much of your time. Just imagine how wonderful it will be to see yourself acting in a drama and becoming a national celebrity!”
Olivia was actually moved by his words. “Give me a few days to consider!”
“A few days?” He glared. “I can only give you one day!”
Instantly, she was rendered speechless.
Just like that, the eventful opening ceremony ended. Even though Zoe had caused a commotion at the start, the rest of the event smoothly proceeded as planned.
Marcus and Eugene also greeted the reporters to prevent them from writing about the quarrel between Zoe and Olivia.
Even though some of it was still leaked in the end, North had quickly deleted it.
However, on the return home, Olivia was still unhappy as her face darkened the entire journey. At the same time, Eugene felt oddly guilty because he could probably guess that she was mad at the incident surrounding Zoe.
While on the road, he purposely tried to start a conversation with Olivia but she deflected it with quick answers.
When they arrived home, Olivia even used her exhaustion as an excuse to reject him from entering.
Eugene felt very aggrieved. This is a huge contrast from this morning. I only lost my focus when Zoe hugged my arm. What’s wrong with that?
“Olivia?” He could only pitifully knock on the outside of the door.
On the other hand, North was a little surprised. “Mommy, why aren’t you letting Uncle Eugene in?”
