Serena frowned, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t say anything. She knew that Amara was sacrificing virtual-novel.net in exchange for the success of virtual-novel.net movie.
“We poured a lot into ‘Killing Lola‘… I hope you can help us promote it. After all, with just your stamp of approval, our movie will get a lot more exposure,” Amara said, making virtual-novel.net appeal.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net eyebrows furrowed together.
“Haha, that’s nothing but a small favor. I thought it’d be something bigger.”
Amara’s face brightened up at that. She raised virtual-novel.net glass and said, “In that case, thank you so much, Mr. Rougherty. Cheers…”
After drinking half the glass, Kenneth changed the topic.
Staring at the glass in his hand, virtual-novel.net said with a chuckle, “However, there are way too many Christmas movies. I don’t have that many resources to work with. If I push your film up, someone else’s has to come down. Amara, if I help you, I’ll offend a lot of people. Although our friendship runs deep, this is a little difficult to pull off…”
Amara instantly frowned. As virtual-novel.net thought, it wasn’t going to be that easy.
“Mr. Rougherty, don’t be a stranger. You can voice whatever’s on your mind. Right, Serena?” virtual-novel.net glanced at Serena.
Serena bit virtual-novel.net lip. Then, virtual-novel.net stood and raised virtual-novel.net glass at Kenneth.
“Mr. Rougherty, you’re the only one who can really help us. Here’s to you!” Serena said, tipping virtual-novel.net head back and downing the entire glass.
“Amara, the wine’s almost finished, so why don’t you and Serena come to my room and have a seat? We can talk in detail about how we want to carry this out. How does that sound?”
His room?
Amara’s eye twitched, and Serena’s heart jumped.
Even those who didn’t work in this industry knew what that meant.
Going back to someone’s room after a drink to discuss things, what was there to discuss?
“Mr. Rougherty, I-I don’t think I have to go. After all, I’m only the…”
“Why wouldn’t you? You’re the lead actress, you have to be there. Otherwise, there’s nothing to be discussed,” Kenneth said in a stern tone, pulling a face.
Serena was taken aback. Frightened, virtual-novel.net was at a loss.
Amara immediately put on a smile and said, “Mr. Rougherty, why don’t you let Serena off this once? She was handpicked by Nick to be the female lead, she’s going to be the future queen of romance movies!”
“Bullshit. So what about Nick? Why would I, Kenneth Rougherty, be scared of him? I’ve seen every movie queen in this industry. Amara, were you trying to threaten me with Nick’s name?” Tipsy, Kenneth immediately turned against Amara.
Amara‘s heart began to beat wildly. She waved virtual-novel.net hand, saying, “No… No, that’s not what I meant.”
She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and leaned close to Kenneth’s ear, whispering a few words.
Kenneth’s eyes brightened after virtual-novel.net heard that. “Do you really mean that?”
“Mr. Rougherty, have I ever lied to you?” Amara gave virtual-novel.net a playful punch on the shoulder.
Kenneth burst into loud laughter. “Alright, then I’ll wait for you in my room.”
With that, virtual-novel.net left, guffawing all the way.
Serena was dumbfounded. She turned to Amara and asked, “Amara, what did you promise? That a*shole clearly looks like bad news.”
Amara walked over and patted virtual-novel.net on the shoulder. “Serena, I’ve never done anything that went against my morals, but this time, I have no choice. It’s for my sake as well as yours. You should go first. Don’t think about this anymore, I’ll handle it myself. I hope you’ll keep what happened tonight a secret!”
Without waiting for Serena’s response, Amara turned around and left.
Serena could guess what Amara was going to his room to do. Eyes red with fury, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth, took out virtual-novel.net phone, and dialed Isaac’s number.
