"They are beautiful, but they have no brains. In order to get the role, they have exposed each other's scandals on the web. All of that is just silly!" Rain murmured as he cast a warning glance at Leena. If it were not for her, he would not be put into such a difficult position. She stared back at him confidently, smirking at his misfortune.
What kind of movie is it? All the A-list stars are interested in the leading role. There is a fierce competition for it. Is this some kind of hype? They haven't even started filming yet, but it has attracted much interest. In my opinion, the director of the movie is a weirdo. Why doesn't he just pick the cast himself? Why does he arrange for auditions? He's the one to blame."
As a fashion designer, Leena had paid attention to news related to the entertainment circle all the time. That was why she knew about this.
Leena, you don't understand. It was a kind of marketing gimmick, but somehow got out of hand. But you can't deny the director has captured everyone's attention, and everyone's talking about the movie. That's why those women are fighting so hard for the leading role. They know the film has a high chance of doing well. After all, the actress who gets role might even win the award for Best Actress,"
Edward explained indifferently. He didn't mind that his subordinates promoted the movie like this, but he didn't want to be bothered with it. He was quite busy normally, but now he had to steal time to deal with it. He got fed up with those annoying women. He had set up Vast Media just for fun at the very beginning. He didn't expect the company to develop so rapidly and become the front-runner in the industry.
"Women are horrible creatures." Leena pursed her lips, grumbling as if she forgot she was also one of them.
"Leena, don't forget, you're a woman, too." Rain rolled his eyes at Leena as he wanted to knock her out. She got him into such big trouble. He had to deal with a group of arrogant A-list stars and pick up the pieces for them. It vexed him to think of holding a press conference and dealing with countless journalists.
"Come on, I mean the women in the entertainment circle." Leena got closer to Edward as if Rain was one of the horrible women and she was trying to keep him at a distance.
Is FX International Group also involved in the entertainment circle?" Daisy looked at Edward in confusion. She had never paid attention to entertainment news. As a result, she had no idea of the well-known scandal event of Coco last time.
Well, my company has more fingers in more pies than anyone can reasonably count. FX does a lot of business with everyone," Edward turned to Daisy and explained to her in a soft tone, eyes full of affection.
"Businessmen do everything they can do to make a profit. You are such a profiteer!" Daisy grumbled. She felt frustrated as she knew him very little. Edward involved himself in department stores, chain hotels, mining and even the entertainment industry. How many other industries was he involved in? She was not sure.
"If I'm a profiteer, then you are the wife of a profiteer. We were made for each other." Edward smiled as he was accustomed to her taunting.
Come on! I'm a colonel. I don't want to be accused of collusion," Daisy said with a frown. She hated to admit that her husband was a successful businessman, but that was a fact. She felt rather frustrated.
"You are too late to distance yourself from me. Honey, have some more soup." Edward ordered a nutritious soup for her. Obviously, he wanted to fatten her up.
I'm full now. Help yourself." Cynthia had fed her soup every day. The last thing she wanted to have was soup. So, she rejected him without wavering for even a second.
Belinda, your wedding's coming up. Next month, right? You won't change it again, will you?" Rain was always deflated by Belinda, and he didn't try to mess with her. But this time, he tried to pry information out of her for his good buddy, Duke.
"What? You want me to change my mind?" Belinda cast a cold glance at Rain. She didn't want to marry Duke, but her parents forced her to. In any event she was getting married to Duke whether she was willing to or not. Of course, if Duke was the one to break the promise, the situation would be different and her parents could say nothing more.
"Of course not! I'm just curious. After all, you fooled us all last time." Rain shivered with fear. He just wanted to confirm the wedding date with Belinda, but her eyes were as cold as ice. It looked like she was going to wring his neck. 'Come on. It's not my fault Duke still has a thing for Rachel. I have nothing to do with her. And even if I did, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you staring at me so viciously?' Rain thought to himself.
"Aunt Belinda, I want to be your ring bearer." On hearing that Belinda was going to be married, Justin became excited and clamored to serve as the ring bearer.
Of course. You're the most handsome and adorable ring bearer ever!" Belinda kissed one of Justin's cheeks, making Duke very envious. She had never taken the initiative to kiss him before. Duke forgot she had kissed him when she was drunk.
"What? Belinda, you want this boy to be your ring bearer? You should think that over," Leena yelled with a frown. Apparently, she didn't think Justin was up to the task.
"Aunt Leena, why did you say that? You want to be a ring bearer?" Justin treated the position like a done deal, so he would make every effort to achieve the goal.
"Duh! I'm not as naive as you are. I'd rather be a bridesmaid." Leena shot a contemptuous look at Justin. Maybe they were born to be foes, and there was no way round this problem.
Hah! So funny! I've never heard of a woman serving as her own brother's bridesmaid." Justin laughed out loud, staring defiantly at Leena. There was a complacent look on his little face.
"It was just a figure of speech. Don't laugh like an idiot." Leena rolled her eyes. If Belinda's wedding was next month, Kevin would be unable to attend the wedding. After all, Daisy just said Kevin wouldn't be back until after that.
"You haven't made yourself clear." Justin threw himself into Belinda's arms, giving Leena a challenging look. Leena was so mad at him.
You have no brain!" Leena rolled her eyes and looked at Justin right in the eye. Neither of them was about to make a concession. They just looked like two kids fighting in the schoolyard.
"Come on, stop arguing. I think we'd better separate you two next time. Otherwise, you just won't stop fighting." Daisy sighed in resignation. Justin was her son and Leena was her sister. She couldn't take sides. But they didn't look like enemies. Maybe there had always been a mixed relationship between them.
"No!"
Don't!"
Justin and Leena rejected Daisy's suggestion with one voice. Apparently, they were not foes like everyone thought they were. Maybe they had no playmates before and regarded each other as their best playmate. Daisy believed that they could actually team up if there was a damn good reason for it.
The gathering ended soon, but their friendship developed in the pleasant hours. Though they looked rather weird in others, they showed their concerns to each other in a different manner. There was no flowery language, but only a warm embrace and simple words. They could feel each others love and care, and in the end that's all that mattered.
