Chapter 29 You Can't Play the Leading Lady

Hearing Chloe call out, Michael quickly broke away from his heated conversation and rushed over to her. He shot a worried look at Karlie, who was sitting next to Chloe, and asked, "Everything okay?" "Mic, my coffee's gone cold. Can you grab me a hot one?"

Michael nodded, "Sure thing, but Karlie's right here. You could ask her too since your leg's not great."

Karlie, eager to impress Michael, chimed in with a smile, "Yeah, Chloe, if you need coffee, just ask me. No need to call Mic over."

Chloe smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I don't know Miss Taylor well, so I prefer asking Mic."

Chloe had a point. Michael was one of her potential suitors, so asking him for a coffee wasn't a big deal.

"It's no problem at all. Even though this is our first meeting, I'm close with Mic, and we're about to star in this movie together. So, I consider myself part of the team." Karlie moved closer to Michael, trying to subtly hint at her relationship with him to Chloe.

On-screen romances often turned into real-life love stories, with many actors finding true love and eventually marrying because of their roles.

Michael, with his good looks and prestigious family background, was particularly desirable. Marrying him meant not only joining a wealthy family but also gaining significant influence in the world of fame.
