Chapter 206
“Stop,” Vince said, unable to maintain his usual gentle demeanor. “Lila and Dorian were once a couple. They were together for many years.”
He spoke directly, and Amelia was taken aback. “That’s true?”
He was certain that Amelia appeared smart, but she was quite naive.
“Yes, and their breakup was quite messy. It happened because Dorian cheated. Later, he made a big show of trying to get back together, but Lila didn’t take him back. I’m telling you this to warn you try not to mention Dorian in front of Lila. It’ll just annoy her.”
She let out a slow breath. “It’s no wonder why it seemed like Dorian had such a strong opinion of Lila and even tried to convince me not to let Joyce Group and Lila cooperate. Now, it makes sense.
“Because of all this, I don’t want to see him either. He tried to contact me twice recently, but I turned him down both times.
“Lane Group and Dorian were working on a movie project that Lila negotiated. Since that’s the case, you could cancel the contract with him and transfer it to Lila.
“Magi Pictures now back her. On the surface, Morgan Group might not seem to care about this industry, but I don’t think that’s true.” She frowned as she spoke.
Vince could clearly see the point. If Morgan Group hadn’t paid attention to Magi Pictures, the company wouldn’t have been able to develop steadily. In recent years, it had quietly grown to become one of Northridge’s top three entertainment companies.
He turned his gaze toward Lila, who was talking to Fletcher, but he couldn’t hear them.
Amelia’s words were something he had been considering lately. Recently, Dorian contacted him multiple times about this issue.
As he was turning his gaze back, he suddenly noticed someone holding a phone and taking pictures, possibly of… Lila?
He frowned and called out to Amelia. “Let’s go check it out.”
The two walked over, and by the time they reached the spot, Fletcher had already bowed slightly and left.
Vince glanced at the person taking the pictures, but they were already gone. He furrowed his brows, unsure if he was overthinking things.
“Have you finished your conversation? What’s going on?” Lila asked as the two approached.
Amelia had returned to her usual expression, smiling without any discomfort. “Want to have lunch together?”
“Are you two staying here to watch the auditions?” Lila asked, a little puzzled.
It was true they had invested a lot in this collaboration, but they had been watching the auditions the whole time. Wouldn’t doing so interfere with their other businesses?
“Not really, but if you want someone to keep you company, I can make time. As for Mr. Lane, he’s probably tied up; the entire Lane Group depends on him. But I’ve got my dad to rely on.” Amelia nodded to herself as if agreeing with her own words.
Lila couldn’t help but laugh at her adorable behavior, feeling both amused and helpless.
After lunch, Vince left, and Amelia stayed at the site. The audition process went smoothly, and the results were expected to be announced in about a week.
Amelia sat across from Lila, resting her chin in her hand, watching her intently.
“There’s a two-day break in between, and then we’ll start training. If you have any specific requests, let the person in charge at Joyce Group know so they can prepare everything.”
“I’ve already discussed things with the person in charge. I’m happy with the teachers we’ve hired,” Lila said, not looking up as she glanced at the list. “But there’s a bit of a problem.”
Amelia looked puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
“Fletcher’s acting is indeed good. He’s the most suitable among alkthe people auditioning for this role. I’ve chosen him, and even though he’s only the third male lead, his character has a co-star.”
Lila paused for a moment. “His fans don’t know yet, but when the show airs a year from now, if those fans continue to target his female co-star, it will cause trouble for us and the actress. Of course, the one most affected will be the actress.”
“Who’s playing his co-star?” Amelia also felt the situation was tricky.
