Chapter 748 A Gesture Of Sincerity

In actuality, the role did not offer many opportunities for growth, nor did it necessitate much acting abilities.

The salary, however, was higher than what Carrie offered.

“You've seen the scripts. Which would you like to take on?”

After considering it for a moment, Donald decided to let Evelyn choose.

“I-I think that one is pretty good.”

Belle smiled with satisfaction; Evelyn's finger was pointed at her script.

No rookie would say no to the temptation of a fat check. Evelyn is the same as all the rest despite her innocent

appearance.

“Are you sure?” Donald asked her again.

After hesitating for a moment, Evelyn nodded firmly.

“All right, then. That settles it.”

Donald returned the other script to Carrie. “Sorry to disappoint. Perhaps we could work together another time.”

Before Carrie could speak, her assistant, Toby Gowen, interjected from behind her, “You are Ms. Shabelle's agent,

Mr. Campbell. How could you allow her free rein like that? You said so yourself—Dragon Fide Corporation can match

this sum of a hundred and fifty grand, but the script we have written for Ms. Shabelle is more suited for her growth.

Surely you can see that?”

Toby was indignant. The whole reason for setting up a meeting with Evelyn was that their employer saw potential in

her.

Boss has been in this business for three decades. He has never been wrong about a person.

Thus, he was beside himself with panic when Evelyn chose Werner Brothers Studios over them.

Donald glanced at Toby. “You make it sound like you are doing it entirely for Evelyn's benefit.”

“Of course! Our employer has written this character with Ms. Shabelle in mind.”

Donald chuckled. “If you think so highly of her, why would you make her such a pathetic offer? Surely a powerful

studio like yours could do better. One more thing... While it is true that Dragon Fide Corporation can match this

sum, why should I fork out on your behalf?”

Donald's words stumped Toby.

As Donald said, a well-written script was a gesture of sincerity, but a generous offer was an even better one.

Actors were no different from people; they, too, had bills to pay.

Though a low-paying role with more screen time afforded better opportunities for career advancements, it was no

different than labor exploitation.

Do you take me for a fool?

Carrie fell silent for a moment after hearing Donald's words. “I get it, Mr. Campbell. We have been ill-prepared, but I

hope we will get another chance to work together another time.”

She appeared good-natured about it. Without another word, she led the staff of Supernova Productions away.

Belle waited for the employees of Supernova Productions to leave before beginning to negotiate the final details

with Donald.

She produced an agreement and turned to him with a smile. “You seem like a very professional agent, Mr.

Campbell. I look forward to working together with you.”

Donald furrowed his brows when he got a closer look at the agreement. “Why does the penalty for breaching the

contract cost as much as half a million?”

Belle nodded gravely. “As you know, it costs a lot for us to make a movie. If actors decide to quit for personal

reasons halfway through filming, the damages we would have to bear will cost a lot more than that. I hope you

understand, Mr. Campbell.”

“What I do or do not understand does not matter here. The choice remains with her.”

Donald handed the agreement to Evelyn for her perusal.

Evelyn did not have a problem with the other terms, but she, too, appeared hesitant about the penalty for

breaching the contract.
