Chapter 893
Bewildered, Arielle turned around and noticed a man was standing behind her.
“Ms. Moore! It‘s really you!”
The man seemed excited at the sight of Arielle.
At the same time, Arielle recognized the man.
“Mr. Sleight?”
“Yep, that‘s me!” Sam pointed at the vacant
seat beside her and asked, “Could I sit next to you and chat for a
bit?”
Arielle nodded and gestured for him to take a seat.
The man took a seat beside her merrily and said, “I didn‘t expect to bump into you here. Are you
busy lately?”
“I… am occupied these days, but not particularly busy for anything. Why, Mr. Sleight?”
Actually, Arielle could already guess what the man was about to say.
As expected, Sam explained his intention, “I‘ve just ended a round of audition, and I‘m treating
the film crew to a barbecue here. To be frank, I didn’t think that the audition
went too well. Ms. Moore, I‘d like to ask you to reconsider assuming the role of the
female lead of my film this time. I don‘t think there‘s anyone else who is more suited for the role.”
It was a female lead role of a disaster film, and Arielle knew for a fact that the female lead was the
protagonist of the whole film.
Hence, the selection for the female lead was of utmost importance.
According to the script, the female lead seemed like a hard–headed and reserved character. At the
same time, however, the female lead was a compassionate character as well. As a matter of
fact, Arielle‘s personality mirrored that of the female lead perfectly.
As the director of the film, Sam already had his sights set on having Arielle as the female lead.
It was for the same reason that Sam had once again requested for Arielle to accept the role.
Arielle gave him an apologetic smile and said, “I’m really sorry. I don’t have any plans
to join the entertainment industry. The ambassador gig for Soir Coffee happened by chance.”
Sam appeared to be quite dejected after listening to her.
However, he still handed her his name card. “I’m not going to disturb you further then. Any
time you change your mind, just give me a call.”
Arielle did not reject the man again and took over the card before sending him off.
She turned around and noticed that Trisha was clutching
onto the glass of drink in her hand tightly. The latter did not even realize it when the drink in her glass w
as spilled over a little on the back of her hand.
“Trish, what’s the matter?”
Trisha snapped out of her thoughts, and her face was tinged red.
She tugged on Arielle‘s shirt and asked, “Did my eyes play tricks on me? The man
who was talking to you was the director, Sam Sleight, right?”
Arielle nodded her head. “Yes, that‘s him.”
“Oh my goodness!” Trisha was beyond excited and exclaimed, “I‘m his biggest fan! I‘ve watched every o
Arielle was quite taken aback to know that fact. Upon further questioning, she got to know that it was on
gotten Trisha through her toughest days when her autism was at its most serious phase.
The movie was about an autistic girl who
had overcome a myriad of obstacles to become a famous singer. It was a motivating and touching piece
Arielle nodded her head and finally understood Trisha‘s excitement at the sight of Sam.
To Trisha, Sam signified hope.
Trisha looked at Arielle and asked, “Sannie, why did
you reject Mr. Sleight‘s offer? Even though he’s quite young, the films he produced had bagged
multiple awards. In fact, the three highest–grossing films in our country are directed by him.”
Right then, Arielle realized that she did not know much about Sam.
She was slightly stumped after listening to Trisha. However, she quickly regained her composure
and said calmly, “Ah, that‘s because I still have more important things to attend to. All right, let‘s move
on and start our barbecue!”
To Arielle, the prospect of becoming a famed celebrity was much less appealing than the plate of
barbequed meat right in of her.
At the same time, Jason arrived at the BBQ restaurant.
