The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2558 Sycophantic Director

“What’s more, I already said my piece, so I didn’t just compromise. She looked livid earlier. I’m not at a

disadvantage, so let’s just leave it at that. After all, I still have my own business to run, so there’s no

need to waste my energy here.”

Harvey frowned slightly. “But you’ve been wronged. If they told me a day in advance, you wouldn’t have

made your trip in vain.”

Selena twitched the corners of her mouth and said coldly, “That’s why she’s Lara!”

Lara just wanted Selena to make the trip for nothing.

She wanted Selena to get her hopes up.

Despite her age, Lara was still such a fake b*tch. It was clear that she was not a good person when

she was younger.

No wonder she was just mediocre when she was young. She was also not as popular as she was now!

Netizens would not like her for long just because they were nostalgic.

The two smiled helplessly.

Harvey understood the actresses’ tricks and never intervened. This time, he was repulsed by it.

“I’m sorry, Selena. It’s all my fault.”

“Don’t say that, Harvey. It’s an honor that you even thought of me!”

As Selena spoke, Harvey’s assistant trotted over.

“Harvey, the makeup artist is here…”

Selena paused. “Then I’ll get going first.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Harvey nodded. “I’ll treat you to dinner sometime.”

“Don’t go back on your word!”

Selena smiled happily, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

Harvey’s assistant caught up after a while and was hesitant to speak.

“Ms. Nelson, you know everything, right?”

Selena’s eyes flickered slightly. She immediately realized that Harvey’s assistant might have known

about this for a long time, even earlier than Harvey.

Selena tilted her head.

“So, you already knew?”

The assistant blushed and lowered his head.

“I accidentally heard it some time ago, but I heard from Lara’s assistant that she has been eyeing your

role for a long time. Even though it’s just one scene, it’s pretty good. Before I had time to say anything,

Harvey recommended you to the director. Today, Lara brought her younger sister and went to the

director saying that she wanted your cameo role. The director said that as long as Harvey isn’t upset,

she can call the shots on this.”

Selena understood that Lara had already taken a fancy to that character before they went to the golf

club.

That was why Lara was acting weird and targeted her when they were at the club.

Until now, Lara still targeted Selena because Harvey took the role that Lara wanted.

It was ridiculous that Lara used these underhanded tricks.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Nelson. I didn’t tell Harvey because I was afraid that he would find trouble with Lara. The

manager told me to take care of Harvey and ensure that nothing will go wrong. But I think you and

Harvey are good friends, and you’re his fans, so you won’t hate him because of this matter.”

Selena could not help but smile at the assistant’s sincere look.

“Don’t worry, I’m his loyal fan!”

Selena waved her hand. “Go back to Harvey. I’ll get going first.”

The assistant nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked back.

Selena sighed and walked out casually.

At a gazebo not far away, Mr. Griffin was serving Eric a cup of tea.

When Selena walked over, Mr. Griffin was slightly taken aback. He smiled at her with a slightly

embarrassed look.

He probably felt bad because of the change of roles.

Why did he feel embarrassed?

If he had not agreed, Lara would not have had the courage.

Selena sneered because she thought Mr. Griffin was cute before.

What utter bullsh*t!

The sound of her high heels clicked past the gazebo.

In the end, Eric heard her.

“Selena?”

With a deep voice, Eric stopped her.

It was like he saw her.

Mr. Griffin froze slightly and looked at him in surprise.

The corners of Eric’s lips tightened.

“Selena, is that you?”

Selena sighed. She wanted to go for a walk by herself, but now that she was discovered, there was no

need for that.

She turned around and walked to the gazebo.

“It’s me. What a coincidence, Mr. Griffin.”

Mr. Griffin twitched his lips in embarrassment. “It is a coincidence.”

He also liked Selena. Although she did not have professional acting skills, her natural expression was

more moving.

However, Lara was the female lead of the film. Many investors would put their people in a film. This

was already an unwritten rule in the industry.

Mr. Griffin did not want to offend Lara just because of such a trivial matter.

After weighing his options, he agreed to Lara’s request.

This was a normal thing.

He did not expect Selena to come to the set.

Although Selena came with Eric, the staff member said that Selena was sitting in the passenger seat

and had no intimate interactions with Eric.

Eric also used a white cane and did not ask Selena to help him.

It showed that they were not that close.

Selena sat in one of the four chairs.

Mr. Griffin was a little upset. After all, he did not invite Selena to sit down.

Eric asked a casual question.

Mr. Griffin coughed. “Ms. Nelson, if you have something to do, why don’t you go first?”

Eric frowned slightly. His voice was as cold as ice.

“Mr. Griffin, didn’t you ask Selena to come over to film? Why are you still here?”

Mr. Griffin was taken aback for a moment. He said with difficulty, “Haha… I don’t need to go there

myself.”

He also tried his best to wink at Selena.

Mr. Griffin froze and gulped. He did not expect Selena to say it so bluntly.

Eric sneered. “Is that so?”

Mr. Griffin coughed.

“It wasn’t snatched away. Lara is the female lead, and her younger sister just happened to need an

internship. There were no other roles suitable for her. Only this cameo role was available, so…”

“So, if this isn’t stealing, what is it?”

Eric’s voice suddenly became cold.

“Lara is so capable that she could override the director, huh? As an investor, I didn’t arrange for anyone

to join the film. But she can casually squeeze someone out?”

The director heard that Eric’s tone was off and quickly said, “Mr. Ferguson, this is the norm in the

entertainment circle. Lara’s request isn’t overboard. Besides, it’s just one scene, so I agreed to it.”

Eric’s expression was cold and gloomy.

His whole body was exuding an indifferent chill.

As Eric spoke, he stood up and held up a hand.

“Selena, let’s go home.”
