GoodReadSpeople would say Scarlett was Raymond's ex-wife and of course, she and Raymond had a special relationship! But anyone who was not stupid would understand the undertone in Alexander's words. Scarlett was clearly more than just an "ex-wife" to Raymond! Everyone in the cast was now friendly with Scarlett and Alexis, unlike before.
"Ms. Carter, | finally got to meet you! Your performance in Modern Life was amazing! I've always wanted to have you in my play!" Although Alexis was popular, her chances were not as good as Sunrigal Corporation's popular actress.
Director Simon was a famous director. Alexis was surprised when he gave her such a compliment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was flattered, "Thank you, Director Simon!" After a short chat, the casting began.
Alexis whispered in Scarlett's ear, "Lettie, how much money did you invest in this TV series? Why are they being so nice to you?" Scarlett was also confused, "My investment is about a tenth of Sunrigal Corporation's." Alexis teased, "Maybe someone has his eye on you?" Scarlett smiled, with deliberate seriousness, "Maybe." The actresses started acting, and Scarlett and Alexis stopped talking.
Scarlett really didn't know much about acting.
Watching the actress on stage, she felt her thoughts drifted away.
That day she had lunch with the crew, they were rather indifferent to her, not too warm, nor too cold.
Well, how cthey were so nice today? Both two supporting roles were important. Although they would select two actresses, the director was very strict.
The casting took almost two hours.
After the casting, just as Scarlett cout of the studio, she saw Alexander.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Casting is over?" Scarlett looked at Alexander with a faint smile and replied, "Yes, it's over." The crew's attitude towards her had changed so much. Alexander must have said something to the crew after she left that day.
Scarlett looked at Alexander askance, "Mr. Smith, isn’t the casting nailed long before? Why do you suddenly want to re-cast the two characters today?" Alexander was a bit awkward. Scarlett's question got t o the core of the matter. He was afraid to look into Scarlett's eyes. He looked away and changed the subject, "Wow, it's almost six o'clock! Ms. Carter, are you still on a diet? | know a new restaurant that has great food!" Speaking of food, Alexis immediately got excited," Which restaurant? We're planning to go for dinner too. Let's go have dinner together!" This was exactly what Alexander wanted. He agreed without hesitance, "OK!" Then Alexis glanced at Scarlett smugly, "Dinner is on Mr. Smith." Scarlett teased, "You're a real foodie." Alexis was so stupid! She didn't even know she was falling for Alexander's trap.
Scarlett glanced at Alexander, "Mr. Smith, it's just the three of us, right? You didn't invite any other friends this time, did you?" "It's such a coincidence! I've just invited a friend to dinner. You know him. Please don't mind. Dinner will be more lively with more people!" Now Alexis also realized that she had given Scarlett away for a meal.
Alexander had gone ahead as if he was afraid they would regret it. He told them the address of the restaurant, and then he went downstairs to the parking lot.
Scarlett looked at Alexis with a smile on her face. She didn't say anything.
Alexis was timid, "I didn't see his intention." Scarlett sighed. She patted Alexis's head, "It's not your fault. You didn't know Alexander was so cunning!" Alexis was indignant, "Yes! He used me! He's a jerk!" Scarlett smiled, "I didn't know you'd giveaway for a dinner either. Where's your conscience?" 'ls she mocking me?' Alexis wondered.
