Blind Date
Yvette was just about to think of something when a few directors saw the three ladies standing
together. They went over with a glass of wine after toasting Ian.
“Ms. Stanton, Ms. Quimbey, Ms. Nixon, you three are really good friends. Thank you for supporting our
film!”
Nicole smiled and raised her glass.
The three ladies took a shallow sip of wine. “You’re welcome.”
After everyone finished exchanging pleasantries, Yvette swept a glance around and asked, “Where’s
Ian?”
A director who just saw Jan pondered for amoment.
“He seemed to have been called away b y his girlfriend…”
The three ladies were wide-eyed.
“He has a girlfriend?!”
The director smiled in embarrassment, knowing that he had misspoken. “A female friend. Sorry, it was
a slip of the tongue.”
Julie frowned slightly. “Why haven’t I heard anything about it?”
Nicole went close to Julie’s ear and whispered. “I heard that he has been going on blind dates recently,
so she may be his blind date.”
The other two people suddenly realized something.
No wonder.
After all, lan would never take the initiative to speak of this sort of thing. The ladies walked around. At
this time, some celebrities who used to be very popular modestly carried their wine glasses over and
toasted them one by one. The directors and investors also did not let go of Nicole and the ladies. A
pleasant-looking woman came out from the crowd of directors, then joked with the other investors. She
looked very glamorous and at ease like she was in her element. Nicole saw the woman and could not
remember her name.
“Is she the female lead?”
That woman had such a strong presence and control of the room, so it did not make sense if she was
not the female lead.
Julie took a glance. “Nope, the female lead isn’t here yet.”
Yvette said, “The female lead still hasn’t arrived at such an occasion? The others are probably fighting
for attention now, right?”
Julie laughed. “You don’t say. This female lead has a big temper, and she’s straightforward. The crew
and cast don’t like to talk to her.”
“Who is it?”
“Kirsi Makinen. She offended a lot of people because of her temper, so even if she has good acting
skills, she never won any awards. She only managed to be the female lead in this film because of her
acting skills.”
As they spoke, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A woman wearing a long black dress and exuding cold vibes came in. Her expression made her seem
unapproachable.
She was pretty, but her cold aura made it impossible for people to get close.
For a while, the other female celebrities in the hall fell silent. They subconsciously were scared of
Kirsi’s appearance.
How interesting.
Kirsi swept a glance around. She seemed to have noticed Julie and was just about to lift her dress to
walk over when there was suddenly an ear- piercing voice that joked, “The female lead is finally here!
We’ve all been waiting for you for a long time. Mr. Carter is so nice to invite us to his birthday banquet,
and this is also our film’s closing ceremony. But look at you, putting on airs and letting everyone wait for
you.”
Yvette excitedly grabbed Nicole’s hand. “Are they gonna fight? This is a catfight between actresses!”
Nicole froze for a moment. She really wanted to pretend not to know Yvette when she saw her good-
for-nothing face.
The person who spoke was the woman who had been going around the venue acting like she was the
female lead, Lorelai.
Earlier, Lorelai was in the limelight since her character and her silver tongue won over almost everyone
present.
It was truly admirable.
Julie approached them from the side and spoke.
“These two actresses don’t like each other. Even the director didn’t dare to put them together in the
same scene. Kirsi was supposed to be the female lead for this film, but the film’s bigwig investor made
the director change the female lead to Lorelai. Later, Kirsi’s fans made a huge scene. Moreover, Lorelai
looks more like a servant girl and isn’t popular with the masses, so it’s very risky for her to play the
female lead. Finally, they settled on Kirsi. That’s
why these two actresses don’t get along since the beginning.”
