Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Was it for real?

It was a production cost four hundred million dollars, and he wanted a newbie with no experience to act in it?

Nathan must be out of his mind

Annie believed this was impossible. Zoe was indeed great in her performance, but the way she saw it, it was because she guided Zoe into her role.

So, she didn’t give it a second thought.

But she said to Nathan with a sweet tone, “Director Nathan, you only praised my sister and forgot me.”

Nathan noticed her now and said with a smile, “Annie, you are great too. What happened to your face?”

Seeing he finally noticed her face, Annie forced a smile.

“It doesn’t matter, my sister just slapped me. It is Okay.”

Zoe looked at her and smiled, “Oh, I’m sorry. I was way too immersed in the role to hold back. You can’t deny that I managed to invoke stronger emotions in you. Don’t you agree, sister?”

She returned the same words Annie said to Laura.

Annie’s face was stiffened.

At this time, Nathan finally realized that there was something wrong between the two.

The exchange of words…

He could smell the gunpowder in the air!

Nevertheless, they were biological sisters.

Any personal vendetta had nothing to do with him as an outsider

So, he said with a smile, “Zoe is without experience for her first attempt in acting. Annie, please excuse her. It’s time to leave now that the audition is over. Annie, when will you bring her over to sign the contract?”

Zoe said with a smile, “Any time.”

“Let’s do it this afternoon, then. I’ll give you a call later.”

“Okay.”

After fixing the appointment, Zow left with Laura first.

On the other end, a sense of doubt crept into Annie’s mind over Nathan’s overenthusiasm.

Unsettled, she asked with anxiety, “Director Nathan, why did you ask my sister about the film? What are your thoughts on this?”

Nathan cast a glance at her.

To be honest, if Zoe didn’t show up, Annie was indeed the only person in the entertainment circle who was suitable for the role of Alanna Nelson.

But now it seemed that she acted well as Priscilla!

Compared with the cool and aloof character of Alanna, Annie was better off playing Priscilla who looked weak on the outside but scheming on the inside.

Nonetheless, Nathan was not in the position to reveal many details as nothing was set in stone yet. He did not want to count his chickens before they hatched.

Thus, he let out a smile. “Nothing. Don’t think too much of it. Study the script when you have the time. Don’t just set your sights on one role. Observe the inner conflict of other roles, and it’ll

help you in the future.”

Annie thought he meant that studying other characters would help her portray Alanna Nelson in a better way.

So she didn’t think much about it and nodded.

Once everyone made their departure, Nathan went to McCathy Corporation with his laptop in one hand.

The biggest investor in this film was Annie International.

In other words, it was Henry Han.

Henry was having his lunch when Nathan came looking for him with his laptop.

He was busy. Usually if there were no visitors, Henry usually let Brian call takeaway and he would have lunch in the office.

So, when Nathan arrived, he saw Henry sitting on the sofa in the office, eating takeaway.

He hurriedly walked over and said with a smile, “Uncle, you are having lunch?”

Henry looked at him with a raised eyebrow and continued eating.

“Is there anything to talk about?”

“There’s no rush, let’s talk after you finish it.”

Then holding the computer he sat down on the single sofa opposite Archie.

Henry was picky about food. After he was in Julio, besides food Mrs. Dottie cook, he only had the food from Mountain Club.

So, every day at noon, Brian sent someone to bring the food in advance.

The staff members over there would pack it in an insulated box, and when it arrived, it would be just right in color and taste.

Nathan looked at the delicious food and could not help but swallow.

His tummy rumbled.

He had been busy since early in the morning, going through several auditions in one sitting. He did not have a bite to eat and the time was half past twelve in the afternoon!

But in front of Henry, he did not dare to be presumptuous.

Henry took another look at him and saw him staring eagerly at the dishes on the table. Saliva was on the verge of dripping out of his mouth.

Although amused, his facial expression showed no emotion. He pressed a button on his landline.

“Brian, bring a set of cutleries in.”

Nathan was stunned and waved his hand, knowing what Henry wanted to do.

“It-it’s okay. Uncle, I’ve eaten!”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Oh, Brian, no need for the cutleries! Put them back.”

Nathan swore he was only being polite.

His uncle sure took things seriously!

Nathan wept without tears.

A minute later, he suddenly understood when Brian came in with a brand new set of cutleries.

He turned to look at Henry and was greeted by a teasing smirk reflected in the latter’s eyes.

Nathan took over the tableware and said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Henry was almost done but Nathan was a distant nephew after all. Although Nathan was older than him by almost twenty years, Henry could not let him wait with an empty stomach.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he took a napkin to wipe his mouth and said, “Clean up when you finish, I gotta take a break.”

With that, he was about to go into the lounge.

Seeing this, Nathan quickly got up.

“Wa… wait a minute.”

Henry turned his head.

Nathan swallowed the food in his mouth in a rush. Without a care for the meal, he grabbed his laptop and trod over.

“Uncle, I’m here on business.”

Henry frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“I want to change the actress!”

Next, Nathan put the computer on the table, clicked on the scene recorded earlier this morning, and turned the screen toward Henry.

“I swear, I’m really not trying to be fickle-minded. It’s just this actress is too superb!

She has the skills and quite a beauty too! Most importantly, she’s a replica of the Alanna Nelson in my mind!”

This actress has everything but a chance. If she’s signed on to Annie International and plays the female lead in this film, I can guarantee you she’ll become fame soon! She’ll definitely be the most valuable money maker under your leadership!”

Without a word, Henry fixated his gaze on the screen.

A woman in black armor carried herself with a chilling presence. Her slick movements and resolute gaze made her come to life on the screen. It created such an impact, pulling at the audience’s heartstrings!

The end of the recording saw the screen froze at the woman’s receding figure at the palace gate.

The sunset kindled on her lonesome but pine-like staunch figure. Taking her once ideals and lost family with her, she set on her path to become a ruler!

At the end of the video, Nathan gazed at Henry with expectant eyes.

“How is it?”
