Daisie snapped back, immediately said yes, and quickly walked into the elevator. When she got back to
her space, someone was there.
The person standing in front of the window looked foreign yet familiar until he turned around.
Daisie was shocked. “Godfather?”
Helios had stubbles and seemed more mature but still looked charming.
He walked over to the couch and said, “I heard your dad say that you’re here. He wanted me to get you a
manager, but you‘ve already found Charlie.”
Daisie sat down too. “He worries too much.” He poured a cup of tea and smiled.
“How could he not worry? He was only alright because you were working with me, but now that you‘re
older and have to deal with everything alone, it won‘t be as comfortable as when you‘re at home.” Daisie
looked down.
“I’ve mentally prepared myself for that.” She couldn‘t back down after taking this route.
He saw the script that she was holding and narrowed his eyes.
“Charlie made you audition for Benny‘s new movie?”
Daisie paused, then looked down. “Yeah. He wants to test me. He‘ll work with me if I can get the role
next month.”
“That‘s interesting.”
She was surprised.
“Interesting?” Helios smiled.
“Benny is famous in the movie scene, and most new actors don‘t stand a chance. A– and B–listers would
lower their price just to get the role, and I heard that all the actors who have auditioned for this movie are
really great actors.” That would mean that Daisie needed to work against a group of talented actors for
the role.
That was why Charlie had asked her not to be too confident. He knew that it wasn‘t going to be easy.
Helios looked at her and asked, “Do you want me to put in a word with Benny?”
Daisie rejected his offer. “No, I want to do it by myself.”
“Fair, you‘re a big girl now. You can get it on your own merit.” Helios nodded.
They chatted for a while more, and Daisie walked him out. They were having a good time, just like father
and daughter.
However, two actresses who were standing behind a wall saw that.
“That‘s the Goldmann girl. She got a top–grade contract off the bat–such a Goldmann privilege. Even Mr.
Boucher is helping her. Ames, I‘m guessing you‘re going to have competition for the role in Mr.
Crawford‘s movie. You need to watch out.”
The actress reminded the woman with short hair next to her.
Unlike this girl–next–door actress, the short–haired woman had a cool look and did well in maintaining
her figure. She was skinny but voluptuous. Amy looked at her. “Be careful with what you say in the office.
It‘s easy for people to overhear.” The girl pouted. “I’m just looking out for you. You‘re the top actress here
because you‘re talented and Mr. Johnson admires you.
“She, on the other hand, is just like James Tell. They only got in because of their families. Even if she
was a child star, she shouldn‘t be as good as you are.”
“Alright, let‘s go.”
Amy turned to leave.
The actress wanted to say something but stopped and followed along
Ever since she got the script, Daisie started researching her character and even set an alarm every day
to train.
She would train in weight – lifting in the morning, yoga and boxing at noon, then swimming and diving in
the evening. Her training was well arranged throughout the day.
