The idea of Isabel playing the female lead turned Lillian's face crimson, a combination of rage and jealousy making her almost seem like she could scorch the air with her glare. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in acting." Isabel's refusal stunned the entire room.

Usually, aspiring actors had to put in years of hard work, rising through the ranks and seizing every tiny opportunity they could find. Or they needed strong connections to get anywhere.

Yet, here was Isabel, with no experience and no ties to the industry, being offered a lead role out of sheer luck and turning it down.

Scout, a seasoned industry veteran, was left speechless. After two decades in the business, he had witnessed countless aspiring actors fight desperately for leading roles. But never had he seen anyone, especially someone with no history in the industry like Isabel, reject such a golden chance.

"Don't you want to be famous?"

"No, not at all. Fame just brings more problems. It isn't worth it," Isabel replied, thinking of Self, who had to hide behind a mask everywhere they went, even for something as simple as a meal.

"Being an actor pays really well. One movie could make you more money than a lifetime of regular jobs," Scout persisted, trying to entice her with the allure of wealth.

Isabel, though not one to boast, knew that she didn't need money.

"I don't chase wealth. As long as I have enough to live comfortably, that's all I need," she said politely.

She's so carefree!

Her laid-back attitude left Scout speechless.

In an industry where everyone was scrambling to get ahead, using underhanded tactics and pulling all kinds of tricks, Isabel's genuine nature was a rarity. It was a refreshing change. "Alright, I won't push you," he said, pulling out his business card. "Take it. If you ever change your mind, you can reach out."

Scout felt conflicted. Someone like Isabel, with her qualities, was hard to come by. And what he'd said earlier was true-he had a great script in hand, just waiting for the right person to fill the role. Isabel was the best fit he'd come across so far.

On the other hand, if Isabel really entered the industry, he worried that someone with her pure and graceful nature might end up being tainted or corrupted by it.

Right when Scout was still feeling troubled, Seff came running over, his energy infectious.

"Boss, sorry for keeping you waiting!"

The words took everyone by surprise, especially Lillian, who stared in disbelief.
