Aria Grant said this, wishing she could leave this place in the next second, so that she wouldn't have to see George Flack and Mallia Mamet hugging there, and she wouldn't have to see the director's dissatisfied eyes on her.
David Thompson also found it unbelievable after hearing this. He really didn't expect that Aria would make such a request. As far as David knew, Aria wouldn't want to bow out unless she had no other choice, right?
"If it's because of the director's attitude towards you, I can actually try to talk to him about it. You know, Manuela West is especially satisfied with you, so I'm worried that she may not agree to change the female lead at this time."
Aria's request was so sudden that David couldn't be completely sure whether her desire to quit was due to George. It was also possible as he could feel Aria's absent-mindedness since George's arrival.
