Chapter 28\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton sat on the black leather couch with his legs crossed. He did not pick up the document. Instead, he turned his eyes to Melody. \u201cYou want to enter the entertainment industry?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody pursed her lips. Her voice was gentle yet determined. \u201cPerforming in theaters is a dream of mine. However, people don\u2019t live on dreams. I can\u2019t rely on you guys forever either, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to make money with my own hands so that I can bring my parents over to Brightford and take care of them during the final years of their lives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton picked up the document and flipped through the pages. He listed a few points fairly quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s perfectly understandable for anyone to want to make more money. However, you\u2019re a junior actress. Playing the female lead in a highly anticipated show, which is also your debut work, will bring you a lot of unwanted attention. You\u2019ll also gain a bad reputation in the entertainment industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, it won\u2019t be easy to persuade Carl, the director. He\u2019s chosen the actress for the female lead\u2019s role personally. He was already quite displeased when he was forced to make a certain popular celebrity the male lead a while ago. He would probably announce that he\u2019ll drop this work if the actress for the female lead\u2019s role gets replaced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, they had settled on the characters\u2019 costumes and taken photos for the show\u2019s production. Regina Kirk will be starring as the female lead. She\u2019s widely recognized for her exceptional acting skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the last two years, three movies in which she starred in were all great hits. She has more than 50 million followers on her Twitter account. If you manage to replace her for the female lead\u2019s role, her fans will definitely come after you for the next ten years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody\u2019s face turned pale. \u201cWhat do we do, then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake the second female lead\u2019s role.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton tossed the document back onto the table and said flatly, \u201cThe actress having that role now isn\u2019t that good at acting. She\u2019s replaced another actress for this role with the help of her backing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer situation and yours are a little similar. Both of you don\u2019t have that many fans at the moment. The director wouldn\u2019t be as mad if you replaced the current candidate for this role.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody nodded in agreement. \u201cI\u2019ll heed your advice. I\u2019m already very glad to have the opportunity to appear in the show. It\u2019s always an uphill climb at first. I don\u2019t really mind whether I\u2019m the female lead or not. I\u2019ll do my best even if I\u2019m asked to play\u00a0<\/p>\n
the role of a maid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat! I\u2019ll speak to the Jillians Media team, then. It should be pretty easy for us to ask them to replace a cast member since the Hale Group is their biggest investor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he was saying that, Miles took out his phone, which had been vibrating nonstop, from his pocket. The phone screen was filled with notification messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that person trying to reach you for an urgent matter?\u201d Melody had noticed that his phone had been vibrating for quite a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton teased him. \u201cDid you recklessly break some woman\u2019s heart again? Is she trying to hunt you down now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I that kind of person?\u201d Miles retorted. The phone screen lit up again as more messages came in. They were all from\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton spotted Sienna\u2019s name appearing briefly on the screen. He snatched Miles\u2019 phone away. \u201cWhy is she contacting you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miles scratched his nose awkwardly. He said with resignation, \u201cShe\u2019s the one trying to hunt me down now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 28\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody widened her eyes. \u201cShe\u2019s heartbroken because of you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d be nuts if that were true.\u201d Miles tried to take his phone back. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I\u2019d talk to that crazy wench. Give me my phone!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton kept the phone out of Miles\u2019 reach. \u201cPassword.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should respect my privacy as well, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them stared at each other for three seconds. Miles gave in first. \u201cIt\u2019s 0816.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the phone was unlocked, numerous messages asking Miles to pay his debt could be seen in the chat window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHi? Hello? Where\u2019s my money?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPaying me a million dollars shouldn\u2019t be a problem for you, right, Mr. Turner?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLink to essay \u2018Why you should pay off your debts as soon as possible.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a person doesn\u2019t even bother to keep their promise, how are they different from the stray dogs roaming the streets?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t transfer the money to me, I\u2019m going to upload and spread the video of you dressed as a woman on the internet!\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the past week, Sienna had sent countless messages to Miles asking for the money whenever she was free.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton frowned slightly. Sienna had blocked his number and ignored his messages asking for the taxi fare. Yet, she had time to send Miles so many messages every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
