Chapter 524

How strange.

Why did Ms. Berry ask me to meet her here?

He wondered for a bit before walking into the building.

The moment he stepped in, he spotted a young man leaping off a car.

He was stunned.

When Ashlyn said she was going to cast Jonathan as the male lead, he never thought she meant it for real.

Isn’t he a pretty boy who can’t act well?

How unbelievable!

Greg was upset, but he went to the lounge Ashlyn was in.

At the door, Greg saw Jonathan opening the door before he entered the room. He pressed his lips into a thin line before he entered after Jonathan.

A clean lounge entered his sight.

There was a suite inside that lounge where Ashlyn would sleep in.

Right now, she was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Jared.

She was dressed in a white dress that hugged her jaw-dropping curves. Her face glowed alluringly under the morning sunlight.

It seemed to Greg that she had lost a considerable amount of weight since he last saw her.

Before he could greet her, Jonathan started harping, “Oh my, if it isn’t Ashlyn Berry. Why did you lose so much weight? Aren’t you taking your diet too far?”

“Have some respect,” Jared reached out and slap his head. “She’s your senior.”

Jonathan’s lips pursed in response. He didn’t know Ashlyn well, but he knew her from the trending topics on Twitter. She seemed like someone who’d use his brother to climb up the social ladder.

Ashlyn glanced at the young man before she dismissed him.

She smiled at Greg warmly and greeted him, “Maxwell, please have a seat.”

Greg gave her and Jared a brisk nod.

A copy of the script was in Ashlyn’s hand. “Have you read it?”

“Yes.” Greg nodded. The mention of his passion made him light up in pleasure. “This script is well written. It is realistic enough when the tension builds up to the climax. I think it’s perfect. It’ll leave an unforgettable impression on the audience.”

“I can’t believe you hold this script in such high regards.” A smile flitted across Ashlyn’s ashen face.

“Huh? Script? Jared, didn’t you say you managed to cast me in a movie? Where’s the script?”

Jonathan inquired in a huff.

Ashlyn eyed Jared silently, who took out another copy of the script and hit his head with it. “Here you go!”

Jonathan yelped and grabbed the script. When he saw the name ‘Snowstorm’ on the front page, his eyes lit up with excitement. “Oh, my! Did Snowstorm write this script? Seriously? My idol wrote this script for me? She loves me so much!”

“Jared! How did you manage to convince him?”

“Yeah! You’re the best, Jared! When can I meet him?” Jonathan babbled on.

Greg remained expressionless as he observed the young man with a hint of disdain.

“For goodness’ sake, keep it cool! What would your fans think if they see you acting this way?” His manager hurriedly tried to placate him.

Jonathan was an aloof and perfect prince in his adoring fans’ eyes.

However, he was actually quite daft and talkative in real life.

Whenever he was excited, he’d babble on nonstop like a stand-up comedian on stage.

“There’s no one else here. He must’ve held back for some time.” Ashlyn reached out to stop the manager with a smile. “I believe you know the script’s concept, Maxwell. We can start preparing for the filming now. Jonathan will be the male lead. You can choose the other roles in this movie. I won’t interfere in your decision.”

“Ms. Berry!” Greg was surprised. He didn’t know Ashlyn would give him free rein on this matter.

Nowadays, showbiz was mostly controlled by the investors.

Directors no longer held as much power as they did before. In fact, they were more like puppets of the investors.
