Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 154

However, Skylar did not think too much about it. After all, in this situation, it would be best if Celine managed to get over it after dwelling on it for a while.

She quickly gave Gareth Leith a call.

Gareth did not answer her directly and only told her to ask Tim Coombs.

He had lost the bet, so he naturally would not interfere with the personnel decisions of the drama. Tim would make all the decisions on his own.

Skylar had no choice but to call Tim again.

Although Tim was not easy to talk to, he never brought personal issues into work.

When he learned that Celine wanted to act as the second female lead, he only thought for a moment before agreeing.

When he agreed, Gareth was right beside him.

He was waiting for him to return the computer when he saw Tim hang up the phone, and asked with a vague smile, “Didn’t you dislike Celine Jennings? Why did you agree to let her play the second female lead?”

Tim was stunned and said blankly, “I didn’t say I don’t like her. I don’t even know her that well.”

“Then why did you reject her previously without a second thought?”

Tim pondered for a moment and replied, “Her temperament isn’t suitable for the female lead.”

“But it’s suitable for the second female lead?”

“Yep.”

Tim answered in a serious manner. “The temperament of the second female lead suits her well.”

Gareth sat there, stunned, for a long time before finally reacting.

Then, he guffawed.

“Old Tim, y-you’re so bad!”

‘Cannon Fodder Guide’ was a drama with a feel-good plot. It followed the female lead who fought and improved, but the second female lead was just a buffoon who wasted her efforts from start to finish.

It could be said that there were no supporting female leads more miserable than her.

The second female lead had almost as many scenes as the female lead, but all of them were about her getting beaten up.

Tim was a bit confused by Gareth’s laughter, not understanding what he was laughing at.

Frowning, he reiterated the sentence. “I’m serious. She really suits the temperament of this character.”

Gareth waved his hand. “Okay, okay, I get it. Stop saying it already. You’re gonna make me laugh to death.”

He stood up and smoothened out non-existent wrinkles on his suit. “Well, since it’s settled, let’s shoot it properly. However, I have to remind you that Nell and Celine’s relationship is complicated. You should mentally prepare yourself for this so it’s easier to deal with in case something happens on set.”

Tim paused, he was not quite sure what Gareth meant.

However, he did not ask any questions. He was hardly interested in anything other than filming.

Therefore, he simply nodded and agreed.

On the other side.

Nell took advantage of the right time and told Gideon that she was going to act in a film.

Gideon’s first reaction was to disagree, but after Nell insisted, he read the script. It was a straightforward short series of face-slapping, and while there was a romantic subplot, it was of the pure kind and there was no skin contact needed, so he agreed.

Moreover, it was now the beginning of spring where the weather was best. The short drama of a dozen episodes would only take a month or two of shooting, so he let her do what she wanted for fun.

After Nell and Gideon finished talking, she settled the work at Xinghui and Anning International before formally joining the group.

Tim Coombs worked quickly, and not long after the personnel was finalized, a time was chosen to officially start shooting.

Shooting would begin in a month. Before that, the costume poster had to be shot first.

Nell went to the studio early this morning. Since she was the female lead, her makeup had to be done first.

‘Nell! Just you wait!

‘I’ll let you be complacent for a couple of days. When the shooting starts...

‘Hmph. I’ll let you know what it feels like to be completely ruined!’

The make-up photos were taken smoothly. In the evening, an activity about the film festival was held in Jincheng. As the owner of Xinghui and the director of Anning International’s PR department, Nell had already received an invitation. She would bring Lucy Katz along with her to attend the event.

Accompanying them were Gareth Leith, Eric Freeman, and others.

Although the filming of 'Hidden River: Ashley' was almost finished, it had not been officially been finalized yet, so Gareth Leith’s attendance could be regarded as early publicity for the film.

Janet was unwell and was not present, so Lucy Katz, who played the third female lead, took on the responsibility of promoting the film.

The few of them arrived at almost the same time. After exchanging simple pleasantries, Gareth Leith and Eric Freeman went away to greet people they knew.

On the other hand, Nell took Lucy with her.

Lucy wore a long black dress today. She had always been pure and tender, so she was a little embarrassed to attend such an occasion for the first time.

Nell laughed and soothed her. As they spoke, they suddenly heard shrill screams from the doorway.

“Young Master Foster, I heard that you recently invested in a historical drama? What role do you think I’m suitable for?”

“Young Master Foster, you gave Lulu a diamond necklace for her birthday earlier. Today is my birthday. You can’t just be partial to her.”

The two of them looked over at the sound and saw a lean and upright figure surrounded by people.

Nell was stunned.

Joel Foster?

Why was he here?
