She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 298: Like a Soda

After receiving a scolding from Reece about the shorts, Alan wisely decided not to bring up the topic of the shorts again. Instead, he shifted to another subject.

Other artists were usually obedient and follow their agent’s instructions. But their artist, Reece, treated his agent like his server. Well, what could Alan do when Reece was just so incredibly popular? Even though he was not the most handsome guy in the entertainment industry, his temper wasn’t the best, and his acting and singing skills were just average, he had a unique charm that fascinated his fans. Over the years, Reece had earned quite a bit of money, and their relationship was less like a conventional artist-agent partnership and more like that of a boss and his underling.

“You’re blocking my light. Move your butt, or if I accidentally flick my ash…,” Reece warned.

Alan’s face paled, and he quickly covered his backside, legs clamped together, taking a cautious step aside, as if he were a kangaroo on the Australian plain. He made way for Reece.

“Mr. Gray, the scene shooting for this drama is already halfway through, and the production team knows that you need a co-star to play the next scene.”

Reece had reviewed the script carefully, and indeed, it required an actress to play his role’s sister. In the previous cast list, he had specifically checked, and the actress for this role was still undetermined. It was ridiculous to inform him so late that they had found a female lead.

He took a deep breath, letting the scent of tobacco fill his mouth, savoring the slightly bitter taste of nicotine before slowly exhaling. When he opened his eyes, the bluish smoke he exhaled took various shapes in the air before being dispersed by the southern wind, leaving behind only a lingering heat.

“Oh? Who is it? Tell me more; do I know her?”

Alan unfolded the information provided by the company, bending humbly as he handed it over, smiling obsequiously. “Reece, just take a look at this lady. She’s really beautiful.” Reece perked up a bit at the mention and lazily cast a glance. When he saw the person in the photo, he pursed his lips and uttered a harsh word, “Ugly.”
