Chapter 85 If She Is in the Crew, Then I'm Not In the lounge.
iFinished Oliver sat on the couch with a dark expression, playing a game. His manager, Robin, was pacing the room anxiously.
"Boss, you've signed the contract. Do you know how big of an impact it will have if you refuse to act now?" Oliver let out a cold laugh. He executed a perfect move in the game, defeating his opponent, before speaking, "It's just a breach of contract fee, right? It's not like I don't have the money. I'll pay them. No matter what you say, I'm not doing this show." Robin frantically grabbed his hair and nearly knelt in front of him. "Boss, it's not just about the money. We've already negotiated with Mr. Hawkins. If you back out now, our reputation will be ruined in the industry. You know how connected Mr. Hawkins is. If he gets annoyed with us, do you think you can still make it here?" "Ha." Oliver sneered, "You think I'm scared?" "You might not be scared, but I am, okay?" Robin pleaded.
Robin couldn't believe his bad luck for landing such a boss.
He had been totally captivated by this guy's looks-handsand refined, the type girls loved. He signed. him immediately. And, to be fair, his instincts were spot-on. Oliver becan instant sensation, with countless adoring fans.
Just when Robin thought he could rely on this cash cow for a lifetof comfort, Oliver completely defied expectations.
First, he didn't care if a role could win awards or if it was any good. What mattered was that he looked handsome! If the director could hang a sign saying “Handsome” on his head, he'd do the role for free.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSecondly, he was totally uncontrollable, like a pig escaping from its pen.
Once, he saw a director getting cosy with an actress and spent the entire night outside their door with a loudspeaker, playing a song that went, "Daddy's daddy is grandpa..." It was said that the director ended up being taken away by the police that night.
There were also incidents like using a secondary account to argue with trolls, setting off firecrackers at a director, snoring loudly at an award ceremony, insisting on wearing a military coat on the red carpet... Robin didn't even want to go into more details.
Pawned in the Oliver had just gwhen he saw the “defeated” screen. Furious, he threw his phone onto the table with a bang.
"See? I told you that woman is bad luck for me. She's not even here yet, and I already lost the game!" Robin muttered," You never win games anyway.
Oliver's hair practically stood on end with anger. "You!" Truly terrified of pushing him over the edge, Robin quickly admitted fault, "Alright, alright, my bad, my 12:50 Sun, 23 Jun Chapter 85 If She Is In the Crew, Then I'm Not Finished "Hmph." Oliver finally relaxed, like a cat being petted the right way, and retracted his claws. "Good, you're smart.
Robin let out a long sigh and sat down next to him. "Even if you don't want to act, you have to givea reason. I need to explain it to Mr. Hawkins," Although Oliver was already at the top of his career, even the most popular stars relied on their youth. To maintain long-term success, he needed to transition, and winning awards was the most convincing way to do that Alan's films were artsy, but they were practically guaranteed to win awards. Even the worst performance would still snag a "Best Participation" award. It was a win-win situation. Why did he suddenly change his mind? Without even looking up. Oliver replied. "Because I don't want to waste my tacting with someone who has no talent.
He had heard that the actress he was supposed to work with was a high school student Alan had chosen. How could a high schooler have any acting skills? And he also heard that Jonathan was filming in the sstudio. If Jonathan found out he was acting with an unknown actress, he would definitely buy media coverage to trash him. That couldn't happen! Oliver couldn't give his rival any chance to gain more fans! After a long silence, Robin felt his eye twitch. He hesitated for a moment but couldn't hold back the question. "Do you think you have... acting skills?" Even though he was Oliver's manager, he had to be honest. The monkeys in the crew had better acting skills than him.
But Oliver confidently lifted his head, his posture so determined it was almost patriotic. "My acting skills are more than enough to win a Best Actor award." Robin was speechless.
Where did he get this confidence? Oblivious to Robin's reaction, Oliver continued, "So with my natural talent, there's no way I'm acting with someone who has zero skills. I'm not giving them a chance to use my popularity! I've decided not to do it. Just tell the director, and we'll pay whatever penalty." "You... whatever. Do what you want. I'm tired of dealing with you," Robin said, standing up in defeat. This stubborn mule was beyond saving.
"I'll talk to Mr. Hawkins, but there's a dinner party tonight. You have to attend and be polite. Don't let Mr. Hawkins think you're being a divo, okay?" Oliver rolled his eyes and slumped back on the couch. "Got it!" With that, Robin reluctantly left the room.
On the other side of town, Milly's helicopter landed directly on the hotel rooftop.
A group of uniformed staff wearing white gloves awaited her arrival. As she stepped out, they collectively Chapter 85 If She Is in the Crew, Then I'm Not bowed at a ninety-degree angle. “Welcome, Ms. Burnett, We hope you had a pleasant journey.
Milly's first thought was, thankfully, this was the rooftop and there was no one around.
Otherwise, this would have been incredibly awkward.
What kind of bizarre plot was this? Finished
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, a girl in athletic wear approached. She looked about q.m twenty, efficient and brisk: “Hello, Ms. Burnett. I'm Joy, your assistant assigned by Mr. Burnett. I'll be taking care of your daily needs from now on." She then quickly directed the staff to carry the luggage into the hotel.
"Ms. Burnett, the director is ready to start the costfitting photoshoot. Let's head over," Joy said.
Milly nodded. "Alright.
"But please, just callby my nfrom now on. Don't callMs. Burnett, it sounds... weird.
She was terrified that Joy might suddenly yell, "Ms. Burnett is here, make way!" She'd die of embarrassment on the spot.
Joy hesitated, smiling awkwardly.
"But Mr. Burnett said you're not just any artist. He toldto take special care of you."
Jordan's exact words had been, “If m my sister so much as loses a hair, you can pack your things and leave." 20
