Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Eliza told Roseane that she wanted to act in Raul’s movie as the female lead. She didn’t have many connections in the entertainment industry, but she didn’t want to rely on the influence of the Valentine family. After thinking about it, she could only choose to rely on her friend Roseane. “Eliza, do you really think I can talk to Raul?” Roseane chuckled helplessly on the other end of the phone. “Even if I’m the film queen, I’m just an actress.” “I may not be able to help you in this.” “However…” Roseane smiled faintly. “I can ask my friend if he can help.” “Thank you so much!” Standing on the balcony, Eliza looked at the endless sea outside and heaved a long sigh of relief. “I don’t need you to give me a back door either. I just want you to give me a fair chance to compete for the role. I won’t let Raul down.” “I understand.” Roseane thought for a while. “But Eliza, if you can really get the role in this movie, you will gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle in the future.” “I heard that the leading male in Raul’s next movie is Julian Benton.” “Julian is handsome and a skilled actor. He’s cold and elegant. Some actresses fight to the death for a slim chance of getting to work with him…’ Hearing Roseane’s words, Eliza’s hand that was holding the phone paused slightly. Beau’s cold face from this morning appeared before her eyes. That man… “I’m not interested in Julian.” Eliza smiled and interrupted Roseane. “I just want to get this role.” She was not even interested in this movie. She just didn’t want to see Madeleine succeed. “Alright.” Roseane was not angered by Eliza’s interruption. “I’ll ask my friend now.” Thirty minutes after Eliza hung up the phone, Beau’s phone rang in the other room. The call was from Matthew. “I have something to ask of you.”
“Go ahead.” Beau was indifferent as he listened on the phone and used a cotton swab to apply the medicine to his injured shoulder. Last night, he had carried Eliza for too long. He didn’t even realize that, when he held her, the wound on his shoulder had reopened. When he removed the gauze, Beau saw how bad the wound had gotten, Noah, who was standing to the side, looked at the badly mangled wound on his boss’s shoulder and could not help but walk up to him. “Sir, why don’t I get a doctor to comeContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
over?” Beau looked up at him coldly. Noah hurriedly mumbled something in response. Beau continued talking to Matthew on the other end of the line. “She didn’t say why?”
“No.” On the other end of the line, Matthew said with a smile, “Aunt Eliza only told Roseane that she wanted this role.” “I just checked it out. My friend’s film company invested in this movie, so….” Matthew said in a happy voice, “Uncle, the pocket money that you gave me, is it…” “What’s the name of your friend’s film company?” After applying the medicine, Beau pressed the hands-free button and quickly bandaged his shoulder. “I’ll have Noah buy it.” Matthew was speechless Beau would rather buy a company than give him more pocket money! Was there anyone in this world more stingy than Beau? “Alright.” Matthew sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, “I’ve told my friend that there will be an audition for the female lead of this movie, and the judges are all just and strict.”
“It’s just…” Matthew pursed his lips lightly. “I was wondering if Aunt Eliza can really get this
role?”
After all, Eliza had only been a stuntwoman before this. She hadn’t even filmed a real scene. “She’s fine.” Done with the bandaging, Beau buttoned up his shirt elegantly. “Is there anything
else?”
“Yes, there is.” Matthew was silent on the other end of the line for a while before his mischievous voice came again. “Aunt Eliza sought Roseane’s help, but she didn’t ask you, Uncle. She probably still doesn’t trust you enough, or you’re not that close…” By the time Matthew finished speaking, Noah could distinctly feel the temperature in the room drop by a few degrees. “So, I just applied for an account and plan to disguise myself as a staff member of the film company.” Beau leaned lazily into the sofa. “And then?” “Then help Aunt Eliza! Later, when Aunt Eliza successfully gets the role, she will know that it was you who helped her!” “Then won’t Aunt Eliza treat you more…” “Send the account number.” Beau crossed his long legs elegantly. His slender hand picked up his glass and he took a sip of red wine. “I’ll
contact her personally.” On the other end of the line, Matthew was stunned. “But Uncle…” “You don’t want pocket money anymore?” “Okay, Uncle. I’ll send you the account now!”
……
As soon as Beau logged into Matthew’s account, a friend request popped up on his contact interface. The profile picture was of a Sailor Moon character. The note read, “Hello, sir. I am Eliza Lawson.” Looking at Eliza’s profile picture, Beau shook his head helplessly and smiled. This little idiot was already 23 years old. How could she still act like a thirteen-year old? D He clicked the “accept” button. In the hotel room next door, Eliza was lying on the bed, carefully weighing each word. “Graciana, what kind of person do you think this person is?” “Roseane said that she didn’t know this person, but I heard that he is temperamental…” Eliza’s face scrunched up. “What if I say something to anger him? What if he doesn’t help me?” Graciana frowned and thought for a moment. “Then send him an emoji. The cute
animal ones, like a kitten or something. You can get close to him and it won’t be something that inspires disgust.” Eliza felt that this made a lot of sense. So she took a deep breath and sent him an emoji of a pleading kitten. “Noah.” In the room next door, Beau waved to Noah. “Check this cat for me.” Noah was speechless. Half an hour later, the information regarding the cat emoji had been sent to Noah’s computer. “Sir, the thing that Mrs. Valentine sent you is an emoji.” Beau frowned. “What do you mean?” Noah shook his head, his face blank. After researching it for a long time, these two men who never spent much time on the Internet still could not figure out what Eliza meant. “Braint and Demarion ought to know.” In the end, Noah made this clever suggestion. As a result, Braint and Demarion who were in Krine received a message at the same time. It was an emoji sent by their dad. “Braint, Daddy is usually so serious, why would he send us an emoji now?” Demarion glanced at Braint in excitement. “Is he in love with Mommy?” Braint ignored him and picked up his phone to send a voice message to Beau. “This emoji means that Mommy is like this pitiful kitten. She’s looking at you with pleading eyes. She hopes that you can pay attention to her.” After saying that, Braint put down the phone and glanced at Demarion. Demarion said, “You’re underestimating Daddy!” “Daddy is the richest man in Krine, and the most
powerful man here too! How could he not understand the meaning of this emoji?” As he spoke, the two of them received another emoji from Beau. “Then what does this mean?” 2 Demarion was shocked speechless by this.
