Chapter 749 Jump Ship
Despite not being able to afford the penalty, Evelyn gritted her teeth and signed the agreement anyway at the
thought of getting the hundred and fifty thousand.
The signed agreement was then copied twice for each of their safekeeping.
Belle left the briefcase filled with a hundred and fifty thousand in the living room, then added Donald and Evelyn to
a WhatsApp group.
“Any updates regarding the job will be posted here. At seven tomorrow morning, we will be having your first screen
test and wardrobe fitting. Don't be late, Ms. Shabelle.”
F*cking hell, seven in the morning?
Donald massaged his temples, sensing an impending headache.
Being one to wake naturally without an alarm, he would not be up at seven to accompany Evelyn to the studio
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsimply because she had a film to shoot.
Evelyn seemed to have seen through Donald's thoughts after Belle led her entourage away.
“I can be there on my own tomorrow, Mr. Campbell,” she said timidly. “You don't have to come with me.”
Donald shot Evelyn a glance. “I will have the company assign a personal assistant to you, who you can ask for
anything you might need. If you ever run into trouble, you can call me directly.”
After that, Donald excused himself to let Evelyn get some rest.
As soon as he emerged from the room, Weston, who had been standing outside, piped up, “I think Evelyn should
have signed with Supernova Productions, Mr. Campbell. I'd seen their script, and I think she could really make a
name for herself if she took on that role and gave it her best.”
Donald glanced at Weston. “Being in the entertainment industry is akin to wading in deep waters. I am her agent,
not her babysitter. This is only the first of many such choices she will have to make. I can't be making her choices
for her all the time, can I?”
Weston nodded. “I get it. You mean to say you want her to be responsible for the choices she makes, right? That is
the quickest way she will learn.”
“No. What I mean to say is that I am very tired and would like to go to bed.”
Donald yawned, then descended the stairs.
Weston hurried after him. “There's actually one more thing I would like to talk to you about, Mr. Campbell,” he said,
rubbing his hands tentatively.
“What is it?”
“Evelyn is going to start shooting her movie, isn't she? As our station has been undergoing some content reform of
late, my program has been canceled for the time being. I know a guy who is a great screenwriter, but no studio has
been willing to give him a shot. Then, I began thinking about how Dragon Fide Corporation wants to gain a foothold
in the entertainment industry, so I thought I'd—”
As soon as he emerged from the room, Weston, who had been standing outside, piped up, “I think Evelyn should
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave signed with Supernova Productions, Mr. Campbell. I'd seen their script, and I think she could really make a
name for herself if she took on that role and gave it her best.”
“You want to jump ship?”
Donald gazed at Weston, slightly surprised.
Jobs at the TV station offered a clear path to career advancement—a stable job with guaranteed prospects.
Employees of Dragon Fide Corporation, on the other hand, were at risk of losing their jobs at their employer's
slightest displeasure.
Weston's consideration of working elsewhere was bold; he was gambling with his career.
“You seem to be very innovative and a good judge of character, Mr. Campbell, which is why I would like to work for
you,” Weston answered, gritting his teeth. “Also, I want to introduce you to that friend of mine.”
Donald was momentarily taken aback. “Are you saying you want to shoot a film and have Dragon Fide Corporation
finance it?”
The quickest way to make somebody famous was to venture into a trending variety show.
That was the reason why Donald appointed Weston to be the director of variety shows.
It was to bolster Evelyn's fame.
Having gotten past the first stage, Evelyn only needed a good movie or a good series to make it big.
