Daisie forced a smile. “Congratulations, Ames.”
“You acted well too. It‘s said that Benny had to choose between you and me in the end.” Amy let off a
faint sigh. “Benny actually likes you very much.”
Daisie lowered her head. She did not know where she had made a mistake.
‘Is it because I‘m really not suitable for the role?‘
“You don‘t have to feel discouraged.” Amy raised her hand, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted
her,” You still have a long way to go in the entertainment industry and will run across loads of
opportunities ahead. After all, it‘s normal in the industry to miss out on a role. It‘d be a real shame if you
were to lose confidence after only encountering such situations once.” Daisie took a deep breath, lifted
her head, and said with a smile, “Thanks for the advice. I‘ve learned so much, and I still have a lot to
learn from you in the future.”
At the Goldmann mansion...
Daisie sat in her room, looking at the script of “The Lady of the Dragons” and some notes that she had
prepared in advance. Sure enough, it was of no use in the end.
She lay on the desk face down. The emotional difference
was so huge that she could not adapt to it for a while.
She had completed all her courses in the Drama, Theater, and Film department as the best of the batch.
However, it turned out that no matter how one‘s grades were, in reality, grades and real–life experience
were never compared on the same plane.
Her phone suddenly rang.
It was Nollace.
She answered the call, “Nollace.”
Nollace chuckled. “How did the audition go?”
Daisie paused and lowered her gaze. “I lost the role, and I‘m a little disappointed.”
He laughed out loud. “That‘s all it takes to disappoint and discourage you?”
Daisie whispered, “Of course not. But I liked this character, so it‘s a pity I can‘t play it.” She thought of
something all of a sudden. “Aren‘t you busy?”
He smiled. “No matter how busy I am, I‘ll always have the time to call you.”
After that, he chuckled again. “It seems you‘re very obedient. The ring has always been by your side.”
Daisie caressed the ring on her neck and wondered. “How do you know that I must be wearing it?”
‘He sounds so sure about it. Isn‘t he afraid of getting it wrong?‘
Nollace teased her. “Maybe it‘s because I have eyes on the ring.”
She burst into a chuckle and was amused by him.
As she spoke to Nollace, the fog that was overcasting her heart dispersed almost instantly.
Edison‘s voice sounded in the background of the other end of the phone, and Nollace said to her, “Okay,
I‘ll go back to work first. I‘ll contact you some other day, be good.”
On the other end of the phone call...
After hanging up, Nollace took the document Edison handed him and flipped through it. “Has Donald
been getting very close to the Lewis Group recently?”
Edison replied, “Yes, the Lewis Group has always been regarded as our competitor in recent years.
Perhaps Donald wants to hinder the Knowles Group‘s growth. That‘s why he‘s trying to win them over.”
Nollace laughed. “It‘s said that Lara Reese is the ex girlfriend of Naphtali Lewis, the son of the Lewis
Group‘s president.”
Edison was taken aback. “Mr. Lewis was in a relationship with Ms. Reese back then?”
“Yes, it was before Lara got to know Ken.” Nollace tapped the document with his fingertips. “Naphtali and
Lara were dating each other in college, and the two broke up a few years after graduation. That‘s how
Ken got his opportunity.”
Edison was surprised. “How do you know these things, Mr. Knowles?”
‘Mr. Lewis is the eldest son of the Lewis Group‘s president. If he really had a relationship with Ms.
Reese, why didn‘t he make it public?‘
Nollace explained nonchalantly, “Naphtali used to study at the Victoria Business College, and he‘s my
senior. It‘s not difficult to get to know a thing or two about his affairs.”
Colleges had always been great places, those who studied in colleges knew everything that outsiders did
not.
Edison felt helpless. “But this is all in the past, so what does it mean to us now?”
“Didn‘t you realize it?” Nollace lifted his gaze. “Naphtali has remained single up until now, and he doesn‘t
even have a girlfriend around him. I‘m guessing that it‘s either his personal issue or because of Lara.”
