Chapter: 259
Unfazed, Ariana continued to press the issue. “And what brings you back to the company? Have you taken care of the mess with your former assistant?”
Brielle snorted dismissively, “Please, they were just a bunch of nobodies. | paid them off and made the whole problem go away.” Ariana nodded nonchalantly, “Well, good for you.”
Ariana’s placid demeanor masked her indignation. She couldn’t believe the family, who seemed to care for the girl, were motivated by greed.
Despite Ariana’s nonchalant expression, Brielle sensed her annoyance and felt happy. She snickered and said, “Have you heard of Mr. Calderon’s new movie?”
“You landed the leading role?” Ariana looked at Brielle composedly, but inside, she was fuming. What kind of luck did Brielle have to secure a role in a Winslow Calderon production? He was Ariana’s favorite director from her college days. It was evident that Jasper had spared no expense again.
Brielle was momentarily speechless and reluctantly replied, “No, | am playing the second supporting role.”
Dreading Ariana’s derision, Brielle hastened to add, “But it’s an excellent opportunity, as Mr. Calderon’s movie will feature top movie stars. It's more than enough for a newcomer like me.”
Ariana’s expression darkened, and she remained silent.
“Only Jasper can get these kinds of resources. Admit it, Ariana, you’re not cut out to be an agent,” Brielle said smugly as she sauntered into the elevator.
Ariana refused to share the elevator with Brielle and left, feeling the pressure of the situation. She retreated to the small garden outside the building and immediately called Sonia, who confirmed Brielle’s claims.
It was true that Winslow had formed a partnership with foreign investors for his new project, and the leading roles were to be played by A-list actors. Ariana learned that the first female supporting role had been offered to Daniela Cohen, a renowned star known for her sultry onscreen presence.
Sonia was seething with anger as she delivered the juicy news. “Your sister is quite the hotshot, isn’t she? Bagging an incredible opportunity like this. | wouldn’t be surprised if the movie producer announces it any minute now. She’s going to be rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in the industry, all while grabbing the spotlight as a new actress. It’s like she’s hit the jackpot!”
Ariana thought for a while, and then an idea popped into her head. She confided in her trusted friend, “My dear friend, can | ask for your assistance?”
Without hesitation, Sonia replied, “Of course, just name it. Your business is my business.”
Feeling grateful for Sonia’s loyalty, Ariana whispered her plan. “If Brielle wants to be in the spotlight, why not give her a taste of it beforehand?”
After discussing the plan with Sonia, Ariana decided to retreat to her newly rented apartment to clear her mind.
As she entered the room, she was immediately struck by the cold, unwelcoming ambiance. There wasn’t much furniture in the apartment, with only a single white suitcase sitting in the corner. It was a lonely sight, and Ariana couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness.
Although she knew she should decorate the apartment to make it feel homier, she found herself standing still and lacking the motivation to do anything. The day had been exhausting, and the emotional turmoil she had been experiencing had drained her energy.
Ariana surveyed the room and let out a deep sigh. As she did, her gaze landed on the white suitcase, which reminded her of the haste with which she had packed her things that morning. She realized that she had left behind many items in the Anderson family’s mansion, including half-eaten snacks and a doll that had been her companion for years. A pang of nostalgia washed over her, and she longed for the familiar comforts of her old home.
Upon second thought, Ariana decided that it did not matter much.
