Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 33

“Okay. Didn’t we just pick up a new period drama! The original investor encountered funding issues, and now, a new investor has stepped in. It wasn’t our concern, but something went down this morning during the makeup shoot. The original female lead was removed, and now they’re recasting for the role. Listen up. This is a golden opportunity you can’t pass up. You have also approved of the script. You’ve got to get that female lead role. Got it? Steven said seriously.

“The female lead was replaced Why?” Gwendolyn said, her eyes widening

She had thoroughly checked the script for this drama; it was top–notch. She would take even the second or third female lead role.

The original female lead was Mabel.

Mabel was a well–known actress in the country, a couple of years older than Gwendolyn. Mabel was practically her senior. She was attractive, sexy, beautiful, and with good acting skills

However, Mabel’s fame wasn’t due to her acting in dramas but rather because of her scandals.

Every time Mabel starred in a movie, rumors would swirl about her and the director, male lead, or even investors, leading to mixed reviews of her

This was Gwendolyn’s first time working with Mabel, and she was kind of looking forward to it.

Having scandals as a celebrity wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, it was intentionally orchestrated by the company, and it didn’t necessarily mean the person wasn’t good.

However, Steven always kept Gwendolyn away from Mabel. If it weren’t for Steven having high hopes for this drama, he wouldn’t have let Gwendolyn take the role.

Now that Mabel had been removed, he was ecstatic.

In his opinion. Gwendolyn was destined to be the female lead in this drama.

“Listen, Gwen. You’ve got to bring your A–game and be on point for the audition, Steven remarked, his fingers almost touching Gwendolyn’s head.

Gwendolyn grabbed his hand and attempted to place it on her chest. She said dramatically. “Steven, I’m nervous. I can’t do this. I can’t act.”

Steven recoiled as if he’d been electrocuted and pulled his hand back just before it touched Gwendolyn’s chest. Then, he hastily jumped away and said, “You’re so naughty!”

Gwendolyn burst into laughter. Even Isabella couldn’t help but chuckle.

Steven never hid his sexual orientation from them. He always treated Gwendolyn and Kabella as family.

He was a renowned manager in this country, having managed many celebrates who have since become famous.

He went abroad for several years due to heartbreak, and Gwendolyn was the first celebrity he managed upon his return. He started guiding her career even before Gwendolyn graduated, carefully selecting every film and endorsement for her. Therefore, for Gwendolyn, Steven was like her family.

Steven said, “Isabella, can you talk to Gwen for me? This is important, and we can’t afford to joke about it” He suddenly noticed Isabella’s amused

smile.

Isabella nodded with a smile, whispering. “Don’t worry. Gwen knows what’s at stake.”

Before leaving to make arrangements. Steven glared disapprovingly at them

In the dressing room, Isabella played with some odd items while asking Gwendolyn, Is the script any good?”

Gwendolyn sat at the makeup table, looking in the mirror. She answered. “Yeah, it’s great. The role is challenging. The female lead plays dual roles with completely different personalities, which tests acting skills. Originally, I was the second female lead, who’s a villain, but it’s also good.”

“You better ace
