Chapter 40

No sooner had Eliza’s message been sent than she received a call from the chief director. “Eliza, where are you now?” “I’m so excited that you have agreed to take on the role of the second female lead!” “Are you free now? Come to Parson Media and I will get someone to explain the script to you!” Eliza frowned slightly. “There’s no need for that.” She had done many years of script analysis, and she didn’t need anyone’s help with that. The director paused. “But you’ll still have to come over to Parson Media. How else can I pass the script to you?” Eliza hesitated for a moment and agreed. The director asked to meet her in the conference room on the third floor of Parson Media’s office.

After she entered the conference room, she realized that not only were the chief director, producer, and assistant director waiting for her… But among these people, there was one person whom she was particularly reluctant to meet: Jay Carr. 2

As soon as he saw Eliza enter the room, Jay smiled at her from across the room. “Eliza, I’m so glad that you’re willing to take on this role.” “With your ability, I believe that you will be able to portray this character very well.” Eliza felt faint. She was just there to get her script! Why must Jay show up before her? “Look how professional Mr. Carr is! He’s so considerate of Eliza, the newcomer!” The chief director couldn’t help but sigh. “Eliza, when Jay heard that you were coming to get your script, he postponed his filming today just so that he can personally guide you on your character!” “So I gave it some thought and decided that since you have agreed to play this role, you will have many scenes with Jay in the future, so it would be good for you to develop some chemistry with him.” As he spoke, he gave his seat up to Eliza and gestured for her to take the seat next to Jay. “Congratulations on having a good mentor like Jay when you are just starting on your career as an actual actress, Eliza!” Eliza could not help but laugh but when she heard the term ‘mentor’. She lifted her eyes and looked straight at Jay. “Well, should I be addressing you as my mentor now?” When they first started seeing each other, Jay was just an inconsequential entertainer who had
