Chapter 17

Taylor's question piqued Samuel's curiosity. He put down his pen and turned to Lila.

"Lila, I don't know much about your skills either. Tell us what you think. Do you think she is suited for this role?"

After a pause, he added, "Don't worry about getting it wrong. This is the only way we can guide you. So, do you think she fits?"

Lila paused her writing. "Her acting is excellent. She would definitely make this role shine."

Samuel's eyes flickered slightly.

Dorian's smirk grew wider. Even he could see that the actress had skill and beauty but wasn't quite right for this part. Lila's opinion seemed to catch Samuel off guard.

"If you're not professional enough, go back and study more before wasting Mr. Grant's time here," Dorian said mockingly as he strolled over.

Taylor frowned, his wrinkles more pronounced. But before he could say anything, he noticed Camille approaching.

Camille wore her usual elegant black silk gown with subtle patterns. An emerald hairpin pinned up her hair, and a white shawl draped over her shoulders.

She walked gracefully, the dim lighting casting shadows that accentuated her porcelain skin. Although she was no longer a young girl, she seemed even more stunning.

Time had not aged her. Instead, it had gifted her with a captivating charm.

"I actually agree with Lila. This actress could fit the role well. A sweet, innocent appearance with the lightest makeup, yet capable of killing everyone in the story but the unrequited male lead. Wouldn't that be fascinating?"

Camille's voice matched her presence-mature and knowledgeable, with an undeniable elegance.

Lila nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face like a sunflower basking in sunlight. The sight caught Dorian off guard. He hadn't seen that look in a long time.

Samuel clapped his hands on his thighs. "So that's the angle! Is that what you meant, too, Lila? Now that you put it like that, it does sound intriguing."

They discussed the idea further, with Dorian remaining on the sidelines. In the end, the actress was confirmed for the role.
