Chapter 851
Elizabeth sat on the sofa, looking at a script sent over by Angus. It was a novel that had been popular for a very long time, and many people were concerned about it. But recently, Richard had bought the rights of the novel in order to raise Elizabeth's popularity. News about the production of the TV series was also spread today, and Elizabeth had tentatively decided to be the main actress. However, the main actor was still a mystery to the public, which triggered strong public reactions on the Internet.
Elizabeth read the script seriously. To be honest, she had secretly read this novel from a friend when she was in high school. There were a lot of detailed and classical conversations and plots of this novel, which had always been talked about among people. Elizabeth still remembered them clearly, but she still could not believe that she would get the script for this novel today. Furthermore, Angus was also pretty sure that it was she that indeed acted as the main actress in this novel.
Elizabeth was truly excited and happy, but after the excitement, she felt like someone had poured a cup of cold water over her head. She instantly calmed down.
Because the script was so perfect, but what about her?
If she were to destroy such a good script, she would let Richard down again. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
As a result, Elizabeth did not dare to relax herself for even a second. She was extremely serious in imagining what kind of person the main actress would be, such as her temper, her personality, and her serious expression when speaking.
Just as Elizabeth was looking and thinking, the door was suddenly forcefully pushed open.
Helen rushed in.
When she saw the script in Elizabeth's hands, she angrily asked: "Did you find the boss and ask him to give you this role? Elizabeth Jones, are you a bandit? A thief? I picked this script first before, how did you become the main character now? I've become your supporting role. How can you be so capable?"
Being scolded right in front of herself, Elizabeth was startled.
Angus rushed in and stood between the two of them, attempting to explain with a smile.
"Angus, don't say anymore, I understand everything. Did you see that? She exposed her neck to tell everyone her truly relationship with the boss." Helen shouted.
Her gaze was filled with ridicule, pointing at Elizabeth's neck.
Only then did Elizabeth realize that she seemed to have forgotten to cover the hickeys on her neck. Hearing Helen's words, she reached out to straighten her collar.
However, those hickeys were simply too eye-catching, and they stung Helen's eyes, making her infuriated and feel totally unfair.
Angus did not dare to gossip about the boss and immediately became serious: "Helen, stop talking, actually this is what the boss means, and it has nothing to do with her. If you are unhappy, you can argue with the boss."
"Heh, right now, the whole company considers her as their leader. She can freely choose whatever show she wants to perform and get whatever resources she wants to have. What can I do? Just
remember, Elizabeth Jones, it is impossible for people to be so lucky in their entire lives." After Helen finished speaking, she clenched her teeth hatefully, and turned around to leave.
Elizabeth held onto the script tightly, and then she put it down and looked at Angus: "Originally, this script and this main actress figure should have belonged to her? Why didn't you tell me? "
"This is what the boss means. I can't make the decision."
"But… If I accept this script to play, I would have stolen Helen's role. She certainly must be angry…" Elizabeth also started to feel it was not very moral to do that.
"This doesn't count as stealing a role. With Helen's age, it's not appropriate for her to play a part as a sixteen or seventeen year-old girl. You're definitely cut out for it." Angus immediately comforted her.
"It doesn't matter whether it's appropriate or not, I will still ask Richard about this matter." After Elizabeth finished speaking, she took the script and went back to Richard's office.
At this moment, it was time to get off work.
Richard had always left on time, but today was different. The company had encountered a huge problem, and he was thinking about a way to resolve it.
When Edward had called him just now, he was also concerned about the turmoil of his company's stocks. He wanted to help him out, but he was rejected by Richard.
He could no longer unconditionally accept his brother's help. He had already grown up, so he had to have the ability to manage his own affairs.
The sky outside the window had already darkened. Seeing Elizabeth who had entered, Richard's thin lips curled up into a smile: "It's good that you're here. I plan to get someone to send something up to eat. Are you hungry?"
When Elizabeth heard his tender concern, she pursed her lips and asked softly: "As for that script you gave me, did you plan to let Helen take the lead before?"
The expression in Richard's eyes changed slightly. "Angus is talking too much?"
"She was very angry and said that I was a bandit. Richard, tell me, is this true?" Elizabeth didn't have any intention to be angry; she just wanted to hear the truth.
"I was just mentioning this matter, but I wasn’t really sure who would be the main star. Helen is over- thinking it!" However, Richard did not feel that this matter was serious. He had the authority to decide who should be the main character for the copyright he bought.
"How about you let her be the female lead? In this way, there won't be any conflicts."
"Elizabeth, can you give me some confidence? Do you feel that there is room for modesty in this matter? You're so kind!" Richard immediately interrupted her words, and his huge body slowly approached her.
Very soon, his thin lips fell next to her ear, his voice extremely hoarse. "This is what I've decided. If she's unhappy about that, she can come to argue with me about her job. You just need to do your job well, remember?"
"But.." Elizabeth wanted to say something more, but realized that she had nothing more to say.
"Will there be a day when you let me out as well?" Richard suddenly extended his hand and pinched her small white chin: "Don't always think for others, think about yourself more, and think how you plan to seize this opportunity to show yourself?"
"Am I really not stealing her leading role?" Elizabeth blinked her eyes.
"She took herself too seriously. When we first got the script, she took her place as the female lead. I didn't agree with that at all." Helen was indeed thinking too much. She felt that after Mary Ann left, she could take a look at all of the company's resources first, but it was clear that she did not have any rights to enjoy this kind of treatment.
Helen belonged to the new actress, and above her, there were more than ten female stars that were even popular than her.
"Well, if there's no confirmation, then I won't be giving it back!" Elizabeth was finally in relief.
"We'll announce the engagement tomorrow morning. Prepare yourself." Richard's thin lips sucked at her lips. After releasing his lips, he helped her with her long hair and said.
