smile remained on her lips.
Bethany’s eyes flickered slightly, and the faint smile
meaning was already evident.
Andres‘ words did not explicitly state it, but the
“If you can’t be yourself when making friends,” Bethany smiled faintly, “then what else is there in this world that’s worth it?”
Andres furrowed his brows slightly, “Some people are just good at pretending.”
“Are you saying that Keira pretended to be kind in front of me?”
Andres did not answer this question, but sometimes silence speaks volumes. know that I asked Keira about what kind of person you were?”
“Do you
Andres unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Pretending to be indifferent, he asked, “What did she say?”
Bethany’s gaze shifted to the window, and she didn’t speak immediately.
Andres glanced at her and saw that she appeared relatively calm. He also tried to make himself look calm as he asked, “Hmm?”
It was just his hand gripping the steering wheel, and because he was exerting constant force, the prominent veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
Keira was smart, she knew that she was ambitious and surely realized why she was getting close to Bethany.
She is throwing a tantrum now, and she is definitely going to say a lot of bad things about herself.
Andres felt restless deep down, but he tried his best to maintain his composure on the surface.
Bethany seemed lost in thought and only turned back after a while, chuckling lightly.“She just said that you guys aren’t very familiar, so we didn’t talk further.”
The man lowered his gaze, his Adam’s apple twitching as he suppressed the anger burning in his
He took a deep breath and forced a smile, pretending not to care.
chest.
But there was no desire to speak.
“I heard you declined the script from the Abbott Group,” Bethany said, her tone giving nothing
away.
But Andres was still cautious and thought for a moment before saying, “I read that script, and the role doesn’t quite suit me. You also know that I just won an international award recently…” He paused for a moment, suddenly remembering what Keira had said to him when she asked him to shoot that art film before.
Andres shifted his gaze and then continued with the remaining words, “I need to take on different and challenging roles to prove my acting skills.”
Bethany smiled and remained noncommittal.
“I heard that the Abbott Group recently acquired a major suspenseful IP. Have they cast the roles for it yet?” he chuckled.“I wonder if I have a chance to give it a try?”
“It has already been settled,” she glanced at the person next to her and chuckled, “It’s a matter of just a couple of days.”

After saying this, Andres also remained silent, pretending not to care, and said with a hint of regret, “Well, maybe next time.”
Andres had lost interest in eating, but he still patiently pretended to be a gentleman, accompanying them with a smile until the meal was finished.
He had been waiting all along to send Bethany back, and the moment the car door closed, his face turned cold.
Neither of the two objectives, whether it was to make the Abbott Group refuse to cooperate with Keira or to secure a better collaboration with the Abbott Group through Bethany, was achieved today.
This Keira, how is she like a cockroach that can’t be killed!
Although Bethany said that Keira only mentioned that she didn’t get along with her, she didn’t say anything else.
But Andres was somewhat skeptical.
How could Keira possibly miss such a great opportunity to kick someone when they’re down!
He took a deep breath and replied to the Peak Entertainment Crew.
The assistant had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.
“Andres, good news.”
Andres glanced at him, no longer believing that these people on the team could bring any good
news.
The assistant looked at him with a displeased expression and his mood was slightly affected. When he spoke again, he was not as excited as before.
“Before, you had someone keeping an eye on the play of the renowned international director Gordon Woodward. They have given us the news, and we can go for an audition.’
The person walking in front suddenly stopped their feet and a clear excitement appeared in their
eyes.
Keira said that people could never always have smooth sailing.
Those things in the country that didn’t know their worth!
Just after winning an international award, if I were to collaborate with Gordon again, those opportunistic trash would surely start offering me collaborations non–stop.
Let Keira see clearly who she could rely on.
What can Derick, that idle and dissolute person, compare himself to?
Andres lowered his gaze and asked, “When should I go for the audition?”
The assistant furrowed his brow and said, “Many domestic male stars are eyeing this collaboration. It is said that there have already been five people, including our arch–nemesis Jovani Oneal, who have received audition invitations.”
This person is an artist under Future Entertainment. He is two years older than Andres, but has already won three Best Actor awards. In the past two years, he has also starred in two highly popular dramas, gaining a lot of fame overseas.
He and Andres followed similar routes, so the two of them competed for resources openly and secretly, which is why Andres never liked Jovani.

The assistant knew that if he said this, Andres would definitely get angry, but he didn’t He would be equally furious when he found out later.

It would be better to tell him now and let him prepare for the audition more diligently, after all, the two of them are too similar in terms of appearance, temperament, and acting style. Andres had slightly higher popularity domestically, while Jovani had a slight edge in terms of international fame. Overall, Jovani had a slight advantage in comparison.
“The script has already been sent in electronic format, and the audition time is quite good, one week after the wrap–up of our crew here.”
After hearing the time, Andres still had an indissoluble annoyance
anyway.
One week’s time was enough.
in his eyes, but he nodded
Over the next few days, Andres started to fully cooperate with the crew to wrap things up.
Two days before Keira’s wrap–up, the Peak Entertainment Crew came for a visit, representing Chelsea and Randall, and treated the
the entire cast and crew to milk tea.
Andres stood in the lounge, watching Keira outside, helping tirelessly and sweating profusely. A cold smile crept upon his lips.
In the past, she was always by my side, so there was no need for her to do these physical tasks herself.
How ungrateful!
But he completely forgot that originally all these things were done by Keira herself.
Although she no longer personally helps with delivering things, she still takes care of things like treating the entire crew to drinks.
After the wrap–up of Peak Entertainment Crew, Keira organized a small wrap–up party specifically for Chelsea and Randall. Jaylon and Derick also joined in the fun.
Andres knew about this, as Bethany mentioned it casually, because she also went that day.
“At that time, I saw Keira was quite familiar with the president of the Morse Group. She was signing a contract with a new company, so why didn’t she consider joining the Morse Group?” Bethany sipped her coffee, feeling a bit puzzled.
Andres clenched his hand that was holding the cup, suddenly tightening his grip, his expression almost splitting apart.
Apart from Jaylon and Derick, he still doesn’t know until now who that mysterious man was!`
He had lost interest in drinking coffee. Coming out of the coffee shop, Andres politely declined Bethany’s suggestion to go for a stroll.
I returned to the company.
He sat in the office, with the air conditioning turned up high. The temperature in the room was a bit too low, and he felt goosebumps starting to form.
Andres, however, seemed unaffected, holding the script sent by the Gordon project team and reading it for a while, but he just couldn’t get into it.
Even if I read a few sentences, I couldn’t figure out the tone, expression, and body language of this character because my thoughts were scattered and I was feeling restless.

How could it be possible to not understand?
I was the big movie star!

Andres was annoyed, but the more he rushed, the more he became disorganized, like a headless fly.
