Aiden Shaw narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is he dead?"
Jesse Rivers shook his head, finding Mr. Shaw too cold. That icy demeanor seemed to blame him, as if he shouldn't have rushed in so recklessly.
After a moment of contemplation, Jesse added, "It's just... it seems like it's Tiana Thorne's agent, May Sloane."
Aiden Shaw's dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Tiana Thorne?"
"Her agent."
"Send to the hospital."
Jesse nodded again and finally asked, "This time, Tiana Thorne scored the highest in the selection, followed by Jodie Tanner. The judges need to confirm the leading actress."
Aiden Shaw's dark brown eyes slowly filled with an unfathomable look.
The faint smile at the corner of his lips gave an impression of danger.
Jesse even felt a tingling on his scalp.
He remembered that Mr. Shaw intended to blacklist Tiana Thorne.
Sure enough, he heard him casually say in a low voice, "Tiana Thorne, does she have acting skills?"
Jesse: "... That, this... I'm not in a position to comment."
Tiana Thorne's acting skills are perfect; though she's a demure type of girl, she tries roles that have a big contrast with her persona.
"Do not release the selection results for now."
Jesse nodded, "Yes."
After speaking, he quickly left.
Aiden Shaw casually picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, and took a puff.
A peculiar fragrance that seemed to linger from Tiana Thorne filled the air.
He closed his eyes, the smoke swirling around him, and the expression in his eyes gradually changed from clarity to a few degrees of confusion.
He clearly noticed a subtle change in his breathing.
This feeling is the first in over twenty years.
His dark brown pupils slightly tightened, and he gently raised his thin lips, the smile growing more mysterious and unfathomable.
Unintentionally, he thought of the two methods she mentioned to cure the disease, yet she didn't say what they specifically were.
Sure enough, this woman could heal.
And she knew how to whet people's appetite.
...
When Tiana Thorne came out, she saw the set was in chaos.
Ha!
Everything was within her expectations.
So, the feeling of flirting with a handsome man and then getting away unscathed was just great!
At this time, Jodie Tanner saw her approaching, looking anxious but very friendly: "Tiana, I finally found you. Sister Su is injured, I've sent her to the hospital first. Now, I'll have my assistant take you there."
Tiana Thorne's expression suddenly turned panicked, looking helpless, "How could this happen? I drove here this morning; I'll go myself. Thank you, Sister Tan."
Saying this, she turned around and started to walk out.
Jodie Tanner saw this and frowned; she couldn't get her favor across after all.
No way; she had to make Tiana Thorne owe her a favor so the plan would work twice as well.
Jodie Tanner quickly chased after her, "I'll accompany you."
Tiana Thorne looked back at her, almost sensing the ill intentions behind her innocent appearance.
She shook her head, "I just went to the bathroom and accidentally overheard two judges talking. Sister Tan, you might be getting the lead role; you should use your energy on Mr. Shaw."
Jodie Tanner was taken aback, then showed a delighted smile, "Really?"
"Mm."
After speaking, Tiana Thorne turned around, without a trace of her previous coquettishness, her eyes filled with an absolutely captivating smile.
Aiden Shaw would certainly despise women like Jodie Tanner.
She deliberately wanted to lead Jodie Tanner to annoy him, and maybe, in comparison, she, this little fox, would seem much cuter to him.
Provoking him; this way, he would remember her, this little fox. To make it in the entertainment industry, she had to first win over this big shot, right?!
But still...
