Chapter 39 I Will Play This Role
Since Lottie had helped Kayden to analyze the script till midnight 2 am, she slept till late in the morning of the next day. She woke up and opened her eyes.
As usual, she picked up her phone and took a glimpse at the time.
It was already 9 a. m.!
Lottie jumped down from her bed and quickly went into the bathroom to clean herself up.
She changed her clothes promptly. Then, she went downstairs and went out.
By the time she was getting out of the car in front of the Filming Town, she was finally reminded of something. It seemed like… she had resigned from her work yesterday?
Lottie took a long sigh when she stood in front of the door of the Filming Town.
Yesterday, she just said elegantly and unconventionally refused Brodie. For now, she felt lost suddenly when standing right there and watching every single corner of the place that she was familiar with.
It was the only Filming Town in Rexwell.
She would then need to change her job if she wanted to find a new job.
Definitely, she would not leave Rexwell.
Lottie was in dizziness when she thought of changing a job.
She had been staying in the Filming Town during all these years. She had never thought of the job that she should do if she changed her job as a stunt double.
“Lottie!”
When she was sighing, a man’s surprising voice was sounded.
She followed his voice and looked over.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
To her surprise, he was the Chief Director of the crew for ‘As White As in Snow’.
Lottie could still remember clearly his words when he was asking Brodie righteously to expel her yesterday in Brodie’s office.
“Hi, Mr. Director.”
Lottie forced herself to give a smile expression when she saw that the Chief Director walking to her front, “Don’t worry.”
“I am just here to hang around. I have resigned from my work yesterday. You won’t see me in this Filming Town anymore in the future.”
After finishing her words, she turned and left.
‘It is a mistake to come here today.’
“Please wait!”
Just as she walked a few steps away, her arm was grabbed by the Chief Director.
He was frowning and looking at Lottie. “You have resigned from work?’
“Why did you do so?”
Lottie wrinkled her eyebrows, “It was you who said Mr. Berry wouldn’t act in “As White As in Snow” and the crew would come to an end if I still stay here.”
She couldn’t help Brodie to get two million from Ralph. Thus, she chose to quit.
The Chief Director was stunned for a while. Then, he smiled and said, “Lottie, it was my fault. I’m sorry that I didn’t keep a polite attitude yesterday.”
“But I am actually being considerate for the progress of our crew. That’s why I advised Brodie to expel you.”
“However, the hot search yesterday has finally let us know about the truth. Isobel was the one who framed you and we all got you wrong.”
After the Chief Director finished speaking, he patted lightly on Lottie’s shoulder. “Luke’s agent came to me this morning. He wanted you to play the role of the supporting actress.”
“The first reason for it is that he actually strove after the role for Isobel. However, they broke up. Thus, there was no reason for Isobel to play the role.”
“The second reason for it is to compensate your loss.”
The Chief Director was laughing when he saw Lottie’s surprising face. “Not only that, but Mr. Berry also stated that even though you were just a stunt double, he believed that you are so dedicated in your job, so you must not be bad in acting.”
“All of us are willing to see your growth.”
Lottie didn’t speak.
She was astonished and couldn’t say anything.
What was Luke Berry doing?
The event yesterday had become a piece of big news and he had broken up with Isobel exteriorly. Thus, she could understand well that he didn’t want to film with Isobel in the same crew.
However, why did he want her to play the role of the supporting actress in that film?
Just as she was puzzled and had no idea what to say, the Chief Director’s words snap her out of her daze. “There will be a lot of chances for the supporting actress in “As White as In Snow” to play opposite Luke. Furthermore, the love story between them is also sentimental.”
“You should just grab this great opportunity and get the media hype with Luke. Then, you will be popular and promising.”
Lottie bit her lips in silence.
So that was the truth.
It turned out that there was a love story between the supporting actress and Luke.
Luke was actually doing that to disgust her, right?
When Lottie thought of it, she took a deep breath, “Mr. Director, this is just your suggestion but I am not going to take it.”
“I am just a stunt double and I don’t want to be a formal actress or play opposite Luke, the movie king.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
But just as she walked to the roadside and hadn’t waved her hand to stop a cab, a black BMW stopped by her side with a sudden halt.
There were a few vans following the BMW closely.
Lottie stepped back by instinct.
The car door of the BMW was opened. Luke in a formal suit was opening the car door and getting out of the BMW.
Several reporters who carried their cameras got off the vans behind him.
Lottie’s face turned pale and then she ran away as fast as she could.
However, how could she run faster than Luke who had a height of almost 1. 8 meters?
“Lottie!”
Luke sped up to chase after her. Then, he grabbed her arms.
“I know that you don’t want to see me now.”
Luke was looking into her eyes and spoke sincerely, “But Lottie, I am going to apologize to you in public today.”
“It’s all my fault before. I didn’t know that your shoulder was injured and my ex-girlfriend wanted to frame you purposely.”
“I am sorry that you are harmed.”
When he was saying all that, they were surrounded in a circle by the reporters there.
Some of them were capturing pictures while some of them were filming videos.
Luke was coming with preparation.
Lottie shook his hand off calmly. “Mr. Berry, you are too polite.”
“I don’t need your apologies.”
He owned her that much before that and he had never apologized to her. He was just saying sorry now to maintain his image and character set. He was just acting.
She didn’t want to act with him in public.
When she thought of that, she took a deep breath and walked over to the reporters. She strode to the side of the road and got a cab. Just as the cab was getting to start, she heard clearly Luke’s voice when he was accepting the interview by reporters,
“I have advised the director to invite Ms. Green to play the role of the supporting actress. I just want to compensate her.”
“You all should not worry about Ms. Green’s acting skill. She has been very dedicated and serious about doing her previous job as a stunt double. She must be doing her best to play this role of supporting actress.”
“Oh yeah, the netizen said that she has been dedicated and serious about doing her job. The purpose that she came into the crew was for her dream of becoming an actress, instead of approaching me. So, I am sure that she will do her part well…”
Lottie couldn’t hear his words anymore after it as she had left the place.
She closed her eyes in silence with her back leaning against the passenger seat.
Luke was doing it on purpose.
He purposely spread out the news and labeled her with the public opinion that appeared yesterday.
If she took the role, Luke must be very arrogant and make things hard for her later.
However, if she didn’t play the role, the netizen would start questioning her professional capability and the real purpose of her joining the crew.
Lottie twisted her hands tightly together.
She thought that the event was ended yesterday.
But for now, it seemed like it was just the beginning of the fight between her and Luke and Isobel…
When the cab reached the Chapmans’ Villa, Lottie took a deep breath, and then she sent a message to the Chief Director. “I will play this role.”
