Chapter 555 New Script

It seemed the pact between them didn't exist at all.

If her mother weren't at St. Peter's Hospital right now, she would even doubt if it really happened that day.

But since Max didn't come to see her, she wouldn't go to see him either.

And she soon forgot about it.

Everything went on regularly as usual. They finally finished the last scene this day, and they were about to wrap up. The director booked a nice place outside and invited everyone to dine together. As the leading actress, Laura would join them without a doubt.

She went to change her clothes back in her room, then went over along with her assistant and other actresses in the same crew as her.

But when she arrived, she found out the director had booked more than just one private room. There were people in the other two private rooms too.

Other staffers of the crew stayed in one of them, while in the luxury private room were guests of the director.

Laura was surprised but didn't think further about it. She entered a private room and take a seat.

Before long, other people all came, including the director,

but he didn't stay in this room for long. After having a few drinks with them, he asked Laura to go out and talk to her alone.

"What's up?" she asked in the hallway.

Looking at her, the director said with a smile, "Well, Laura, your performance really impressed me during our cooperation this time. This show is finished now. And I'm going to direct a new film. If you're interested, you can be the leading actress."

Laura was surprised and excited.

She actually had a good impression of him as well. And he was an upright good man in her eyes.

It must be a decision after careful thought that he offered her this chance. He wasn't joking.

As an actress, there was no reason for Laura to turn down a good script.

So she nodded at once, "Of course I'm interested. Thank you so much for giving me a chance."

It wasn't a surprising answer, "Great, some investors and the scriptwriter of this film are right over there now. Because they want to finish the script as soon as possible, they want to know your ideas. If you don't mind, we can go over and meet them," said the director with a smile.

Without hesitation, Laura agreed.

So the director told her to excuse herself from other people in the private room, then took her to another room.

After going in, Laura saw three men and a female scriptwriter in the room.

What surprised her the most was that the leading actor, Stephen, of the drama she just finished, was also present.

"Oh, hi, I thought you wouldn't come. But it seems you're quite bold. Come here and have a seat!" Stephen beckoned to her.

He obviously was just joking.

After getting along with him for a few months, Laura understood he loved joking. He treated everyone well and had a good reputation.

Most importantly, Laura knew his relationship with Archie. He was Archie's cousin and was also Natalia's. Laura was working for Natalia, so he always cared about her.

Laura believed it was the reason, so she didn't think further about it. When she saw Stephen, she felt more relieved.

She only snorted as a reply to Stephen's stupid joke.

"Why couldn't I come? Director Lynn is such a good person. He won't eat me alive."

Stephen laughed a little, "Hard to say. You're so pretty after all."

Hearing their conversation, everyone laughed too.

Only the director, Lynn gave him a glance of displeasure. "Nonsense! Don't scare her away. Or you'll pay the loss," he said in a serious tone.

Stephen apologized at once. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just kidding. Laura, please forgive me. Don't be mad and leave. They really want to talk with you. We just finished discussing my part. And I promise you'l be interested after you read the script."

Hearing that, Laura indeed got interested.

So she sat down along with the director.

The female scriptwriter sitting over there smiled, "The final script isn't settled yet, but we already have an outline. You can read it first. Feel free to let us know if you have any ideas. We might edit the script according to your needs. Your opinions are really important. So don't hesitate to tell me what you think."

Afterward, she gave each of them a piece of the outline of the script.

Because it was just an outline, there weren't many words. And Laura soon finished reading it.

Her face lit up at the end. It indeed aroused her interest.

It wasn't a serious drama, but a type of comedy. It told a hilarious story in which the souls of a man and a woman were exchanged.

But because the two were medical examiners, some serious plots were interspersed with funny stories.

She had just finished filming a suspense detective drama, so it was easy for her to commit to a similar show right now.

"I believe it'll be a very intriguing story once it's finished. I'm totally absorbed in it." Laura happily said to the scriptwriter after she read it.

"I knew you'd be interested. Here is the thing. You've worked very well with Stephen in the last drama. Although it isn't aired yet, you two, as a couple, can surely attract a lot of fans as long as the rating isn't low."

"We want to make full use of the publicity and let you two finish this new film right away. There might be gossip about you. It can help you guys, the drama and this film attract more attention. What do you think?" said the director.

Stephen couldn't wait to agree on that. It was exactly what he wanted. After all, he had been trying to hit on Laura for months.

But unfortunately, Laura didn't seem to get it. He didn't dare to go after her publicly, because they were public figures. And what had happened to him before had already brought him big trouble. They were shooting the drama back then. If he behaved too aggressively, it could have a bad impact on the whole crew if Laura rejected him.

Now it was different. The show was finished. And he could finally be true to his feelings.

Laura, however, frowned right after she heard that they were going to do a publicity stunt and act like a couple.

But she didn't turn it down right away. She only said, "I'm afraid I can't make the decision on my own. I need to ask for my agent's opinions."

Lynn thought that it was understandable by giving a nod.

"We can talk about it later. How about the script? Do you have any requests?"

Laura thought about it for a while. She actually didn't have any specific requests.
