Who was Eliza? After thinking, she smiled and said, ” President Daley, is it inconvenient to talk about it? Could it be that the replacement is Cindy?”
“…Ahem. Eliza, there was no other way. The company’s newcomers still require more training to improve their acting skills. Cindy is more suitable,” Shedrick said.
Eliza could not help but laugh. The company’s shamelessness truly had no boundaries. “President Daley, to be honest with you, I’ve already terminated my contract with Director Lawrence. I didn’t like the script of his drama from the start. If it weren’t for the company forcing me to accept it back then and restricting me from going out of the city to film, I wouldn’t have accepted that drama. Now that I’ve terminated my contract, I have no plans to return to that drama set. For a female actress who has top acting skills like me, that kind of drama doesn’t match my identity. “
¨C There were only two badminton courts in the huge arena.
Only five of them were there.
When Eliza spoke, the shuttlecocks of both courts just happened to fall on the ground. Although she had lowered her voice, her words still reached every corner.
Cate and Mireya did not think there was anything wrong with it.
However, Eliza’s boss was still present…
Playvolume00:00/00:00FANTASY2adlogoTruvidfullScreen The few people looked toward Chester in unison.
After the corners of Chester’s lips raised into a sarcastic smile, he bent over and picked up the shuttlecock on the ground.
“Come, let’s continue playing.” Shaun strangely felt nervous.
On the other hand, Shedrick was exasperated due to Eliza’s arrogant words. “Eliza, don’t you think you have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities? Even the best actors aren’t as arrogant as you. Although Director Lawrence hasn’t filmed many movies, he has still filmed a considerable number of them. He has wide connections and knows many people. If you continue being ignorant, getting offers for roles in the industry won’t be as easy after offending him.”
“Anyway, I’m not interested. Haven’t you guys decided on making Cindy famous? Just let her take the female lead role.”
“Eliza, the contract for the movie was signed before your contract with the company was terminated. If you refuse to film, you’ll have to pay the damages for breach of contract yourself,” Shedrick said furiously.
“President Daley, Director Lawrence had eagerly terminated my contract during the few days I was in trouble. I did sign the contract, but him returning the money to you is your problem. It has nothing to do with me. You guys can settle that debt on your own. Don’t involve me.”
Eliza hung up the call decisively.
Mireya and Cate were tactful and did not ask further. After all, walls had ears.
While Eliza took Cate’s position, Chester’s phone rang. He gave his racket to Cate and let her and Shaun play against each other.
Chester held the phone and picked up Shedrick’s call.
On the other end of the call, Shedrick complained angrily, “Chester, I don’t know what tricks Eliza’s playing. She actually refused to film Director Lawrence’s drama. She even said that kind of drama isn’t worthy of her…”
“I heard,” Chester said indifferently. “We’re playing badminton in the arena.”
Shedrick was shocked. “So you two made up?”
“No, we bumped into each other.”
Shedrick sighed. “I think that she’s refusing to film because Cindy is the second female lead. Actually, I don’t think it’s a good choice to have Cindy as the second female lead. She isn’t on good terms with Eliza. However, Cindy insists on taking on that drama. Why don’t you try convincing her?”
Chester glanced at Eliza, who was not far away. He remembered the haughty way she spoke just now and laughed coldly all of a sudden. “The company isn’t Eliza’s. I can do whatever I want. What right does she have to make the company accommodate her?”
He deliberately raised his voice so that Eliza could listen to what he said.
Eliza raised her eyebrows subtly.
Shedrick, who was on the call, did not know about their silent war. “But she’s signed a new contract with us. We can’t control her in many aspects anymore.”
“Let her continue being arrogant. If she’s capable, she might as well stop being involved in this industry,” Chester said loudly. “She really thinks she’s something just because she has other people supporting her. The film director isn’t a fool. Women in the entertainment industry are just here while they’re still young. There’s no use regretting it after missing out on those few years.”
Shedrick thought he had a point there. Eliza would not be that dumb unless she did not want to stay in the entertainment industry.
She tried so hard to clear her name. She surely did that to earn more money in the entertainment industry.
She was most likely g******g with herself.
“Alright, I’m going to continue playing.”
Chester ended the call.
Cate and Shaun were still playing badminton, so he sat at the side and drank water.
The resting area was situated in the middle of the two courts. When Chester raised his head, he could see Eliza standing before him and playing badminton.
¨C That day, Eliza’s hair was in a sleek ponytail to make it easier to play badminton. She wore black leggings, a purple sports T-shirt, and white sports shoes. Her delicate and clean ankles were revealed.
Eliza’s badminton skills were not bad. When she bent her waist, Chester could see her nicely-shaped bottom from his position. Sometimes when she jumped, her chest looked good too.
It was not that Chester had not touched them before. He was familiar with every part of her body.
Maybe it was because he had not been with a woman lately.
He took a cigarette, lit it up, and took a few drags.
Mireya, who was opposite him, was unhappy looking at him. She hinted at Eliza with her eyes in secret.
Eliza was speechless.
She did not really understand.
Not long after, she saw Mireya hitting a high overhand shot.
She turned around to chase after the shuttlecock and receive it. When she saw the shuttlecock failing in Chester’s direction, she immediately figured it out.
To not disappoint Mireya’s efforts, Eliza pretended to try to receive the shuttlecock. Her racket swung at the cigarette in Chester’s hand with a loud sound.
The cigarette was hit, and it fell to the ground. Some sparks fell on Chester’s arm and burned him. He quickly stood up and dusted the sparks off his arm.
However, a large patch on the delicate back of his hand was reddened.
When Chester raised his head, his eyes behind the lenses were utterly ruthless. “Don’t you have eyes?”
Eliza’s little face darkened.
Mireya quickly approached them. “Ah, I’m sorry, President Jewell. It’s all my fault. I missed. I shouldn’t have hit the shuttlecock in your direction.”
“What’s wrong?”
Ryan and his friend were walking over from the arena’s entrance together.
Seeing that his girlfriend was apologizing to someone else, he quickened his steps and walked to Mireya’s side. “What happened?”
Mireya pouted aggrievedly. “My shuttlecock accidentally landed on President Jewell just now. Eliza was single-mindedly thinking of receiving it and didn’t pay attention, so she hit President Jewell’s cigarette.”
“It’s okay.” The ruthlessness in Chester’s eyes faded. He spoke indifferently.
“President Jewell is forgiving. He won’t take this matter to heart.” Ryan patted Mireya’s head gently. He knew his girlfriend’s temper well. He was clear whether she did it on purpose or not.
However, he felt that Mireya was too rash. She managed to vent her anger for that moment, but it would make Chester target Eliza more.
“Smoking is not allowed in the arena.” Suddenly, the man who came with Ryan spoke, “It’s written on the wall that smoking is prohibited.”
The few people immediately looked toward him.
The man who spoke looked similar in age to Ryan. He had a buzz cut, and his skin tone was slightly darker. However, his sharp eyebrows were striking, and his nose was tall. His features and silhouette were well-defined. There was a kind of sharpness about his brows and eyes.
What was rarer was that the person had a straight back and a tall body. He was like a sharp blade that was out of its sheath.
Eliza was stunned. She met that person’s gaze for a few seconds. Then, she quickly averted her gaze.
“Ryan, is this your friend?” Mireya’s eyes brightened. “Quick. Introduce him.”
Ryan saw Mireya’s gaze. He felt stuffy for a few seconds before saying, “This is Max Langston, my classmate. We’re studying Ph.D. together.”
A moment of deep thought flashed across Chester.
