Chapter 383
Chapter 383 A Double Loss!
Luke frowned when he imagined Bianca appearing on the silver screen for the other men to see and admire. He rejected the idea without giving it a second thought. "There's no need, Mr. Josef. She's not suited for the entertainment industry."
However, Josef insisted. "The young lady has great potential. I can guarantee that she'll be famous around the world in just one movie!"
Luke believed that Josef had the ability.
The director had created more stars in Hollywood than any other director.
However, Luke did not want Bianca to enter the chaotic entertainment industry. He expressed his opinion once more, "Mr. Josef, Bianca's interest is in architectural design. She wants to be a famous designer and not a celebrity." "She can be a designer while she works on her acting career. It's just a change in titles. Ms. Rayne can put her acting first and do design on the side. There's no conflict between the two."
Seeing that he could not convince Luke, Josef turned his head and asked for Bianca's opinion, "Are you interested in venturing into the entertainment industry, Ms. Rayne?"
Bianca smiled gently and rejected Josef's offer as well.
"I appreciate your offer, Mr. Josef, but my passion is in design." She made her stand clear.
Josef shook his head helplessly. He was quite disappointed with Bianca's insistence.
The advertising manager shot a surprised glance at Bianca.
So many people wanted the famous director to notice them, but they never had the chance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Josefs guidance, one would easily make it big in the entertainment industry.
However, that woman named Bianca Rayne had rejected the offer so directly. Did she know what she was missing?
Josef might be disappointed, but he gave Bianca his ncard. "If at any tyou find yourself interested again, feel free to contact me." "Thank you." Bianca took the ncard and expressed her gratitude.
Luke did not say anything, though his stern expression indicated that he would not want Bianca to enter the entertainment industry.
She belonged to him alone. No other man was worthy to covet her beauty.
"I was halfway done with my presentation, Mr. Crawford. I should go back to work."
Bianca suddenly remembered that she was not done with her presentation yet. She wanted to get back to her office as soon as possible.
Luke gently scraped her nose bridge with the tip of his finger. "Mm. Don't overwork yourself. Well go htogether tonight."
He said "go home" instead of "go back," which warmed Bianca's heart.
She did not know since when she had becan important part of Luke's life. It felt good to be able to go to work and off work with him.
After Bianca left, Luke turned to look at Leia.
Leia's charming face was lethargically pale and carried an undetectable hint of jealousy.
She should have been the model for the perfcommercial, but somehow, Bianca had replaced her.
She wanted to use the opportunity to get close to Josef. Being a Hollywood star was her lifelong dream.
She also wanted to get closer to Luke and lower the defenses of his heat. Unfortunately for her, all her plans went awry.
Leia had never felt so defeated in her life.
"Ms. Norman, I apologize for the situation earlier. Our company has breached the contract, and we will compensate three times the termination fee. The fault is entirely on me, and not on the director; he has done nothing wrong except for being too responsible for his job. What do you think?" Luke said sincerely.
Leia wavered as she looked at his handsface.
She might be extremely resentful, but she did not show any dissatisfaction in front of Luke and Josef. Instead, she smiled magnanimously.
"It's fine, Mr. Crawford. I was indeed not in my element today. I will go back and reflect on my faults, and I hope that I'll have the chance to work with you again."
Josef was the one who had insisted on replacing the model, but Luke did not blhim for that. Instead, he shifted all the fault to himself.
Instantly, his admiration for the man grew.
He nodded apologetically at Luke, then turned to give Leia swords of encouragement. "Ms. Norman, you have a beautiful appearance, but your range of expression restricts you to pure
characters. You still need a lot of practice before you can portray other types. Given your good-natured temper, I believe that you'll be an outstanding actress in the future."
Leia might be smiling, but her smile was slightly stiff.
If the director had not replaced her with Bianca, she would still be the model for Queen perfume. Her resentment toward Josef was extremely strong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, she did not show any dissatisfaction on her face at all. Instead, she said politely, "Thank you for your illumination, Mr. Josef. I will do my best to hone my acting skills."
Josef smiled but did not say anything further. He exchanged a few more words with Luke before leaving.
Luke wanted to leave, but Leia immediately stopped him. "Mr. Crawford."
Luke lit a cigarette. The firelight danced between the man's slender fingers.
He took a drag and stared at her. "Is there anything else, Ms. Norman?" "My birthday is in a few days. Will you cto my birthday party?" Leia found the courage to ask the question.
"I'm always busy at my work, and I rarely attend social gatherings. I'm not very fond of crowds, much less if too many young people are around. Thank you for your invitation. I'll be sure to send my present on time."
Leia stood there, petrified.
The heater was on full blast, but she felt a chilling cold rising from her feet.
"Mr. Crawford, 1..."
Luke stopped walking away and turned to look at the woman.
Leia stared at the man. He was so handsome, and she had fallen in love with him at first sight. She had never seen a man's bearing that perfectly combined gentility, tenderness, and detachment!
He was so close to her, but she felt that the distance between them could not be bridged.
She felt that she would never get close to the man, try as she might.
She was not going to give up just like that!
