Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Ronald noticed Xavier’s hesitation and offered a solution. “Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll have my assistant give you the script. You can take it back and discuss it with Ms. Shaw. But Mr. Harris, youshould also know that Ms. Shaw probably offended someone high up, which is why everyone isattacking her.

“From what I understand, her endorsements and projects have been canceled, and her currentagency is giving her the cold shoulder. The only way to resolve this is for her to bounce back bytaking on a TV show.

“By staying in the public eye and producing new work, the previous issues will eventually fadeaway.” Xavier’s expression darkened. He knew the impact of Winter’s situation. Despite hisreluctance, he had come to Charles as Joseph had suggested. He understood that only Charlescould help.

“Alright. I’ll take the script back and discuss it with Winter. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”

“I look forward to hearing good news from you, Mr. Harris,” Ronald said, closing the project folderand handing Xavier part of the script. “I hope the news will be positive.”

Xavier left the Collosus Group building, where Winter was anxiously waiting. She had insisted oncoming along despite Xavier’s objections. As Xavier approached, she rolled down the car windowand asked, Xavier, how did it go? Did Charles agree to help?”

Seeing Winter’s anxious gesture from a distance, Xavier felt a pang of discomfort but suppressed it.He walked over and handed her the script.

Winter looked at the script in surprise. “What’s this for? I asked if Charles agreed to help?” Sheknew that Charles did not have a good impression of her.

Xavier frowned. “Don’t you see what this is? His tone was sharp..

Winter sensed his irritation but said nothing. She brightened when she saw the script. “Is this forme? From Charles?”

“Can you stop saying ‘Charles‘ every second?” Xavier snapped, growing impatient. “You know yoursituation. He didn’t explicitly agree to help but gave me this script and asked if you’d take the role.”

“Of course! I’ll take it!” Winter agreed without hesitation, not even looking at the script. She knewthat since the scandal broke, she had lost many endorsements and offers. Her company hadsidelined her, and if this continued, she would disappear from the public eye, which wasunacceptable to her.

Winter craved the spotlight and enjoyed being the center of attention.

“This is my big chance to make a comeback. But who are my co–stars?”

“I don’t know,” Xavier replied, frowning. “I don’t understand your industry. His assistant just said thatthe lead roles have been cast, but they’re still looking for the second female lead.

He asked if you’re interested and gave me time to consider. If you agree, you can audition, thoughit’s just a formality. If you accept, the role is yours.”
