Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 503

Mace was still sad because Lucy had been too straightforward.

However, he could not do anything. She had made it clear from the beginning, right?

Mace was heartbroken, but still, he managed to change to another topic.

“How did you catch a cold?”

It was just the concern of a friend. She would not refuse it.

Mace was consoling her.

Lucy frowned. She did not want to tell Mace the full story.

After all, it involved Joel and also her.

She did not want to reveal the matter so easily.

Mace moved on to the next topic after seeing Lucy having a hard time. “It’s okay. Just pay more attention to it. So, what’s next on your schedule?”

Lucy glanced at Mace. “You should ask Sister Susan this question.”

Susan responded after her name was called.

She coughed and thought about it. She then replied, “After she recovers from her illness, I plan to let her continue her previous work first, and then I’ll let her take two more roles. Thanks to your care, Lucy had gotten a few good projects.”

Mace felt a little awkward with Susan’s politeness.

He was somewhat helpless, but could not say anything.

Lucy had always separated her personal matters from work. As her manager and also good friend, Susan must not get her into trouble. Hence, there was nothing to say about the matter.

It was just…

Mace felt uneasy looking at the indifferent Lucy.

However, he did not show it.

He looked at Lucy calmly and asked gently, “Which drama is it? Who is the director?”

Susan flipped through the records in her phone and said, “It’s “The Path of No Return” by Director Fernandez.”

“Director Fernandez? And this IP?.”

Mace frowned and his mood was somewhat awkward.

“What’s the matter?” Susan immediately asked since she noticed something was not right.

Mace shook his head and said, “Actually, there’s nothing wrong with this IP. This IP is quite hot on the internet and the content is also about the heroine conquering a dynasty that is in turmoil in her home country. It’s a test for Lucy’s acting skills and could transform her career.”

Lucy and Susan looked at each other and they both nodded.

Mace was right.

Before this, Lucy had been acting in modern dramas and romance dramas. Although she did win the award for the best actress before, she felt that she was not worthy of it.

It was not that Lucy’s performance was bad.

Bad dramas with awful scripts were rampant that year and Lucy had just debuted. So, even if she did it seriously, she would not have done anything great.

After that, although Lucy’s acting skills had improved, she still did not stand out since many veteran actors had made their comebacks.

Lucy raised her head and looked at Mace. “It’s okay. I’m not afraid of Director Fernandez making life very difficult for me. It’s not a big deal. If it got to me, then I’m not professional enough.”

Mace knew that Lucy was determined to take the role after listening to her words.

He sighed and nodded. “If you want to take this role, just go for it. Just be careful, Director Fernandez will surely be on Jada’s side. He may embarrass you a lot on this matter. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Lucy shook her head and smiled. “It’s okay, they don’t know me. You know me, right? I will not let such a small problem get in my way.”

Mace smiled and said, “Yeah, I know you’re great.” He tucked the quilt for Lucy after he finished speaking. He then got up and prepared to leave. “Then I’ll go first, take care.”

Lucy waved at him. “Be careful on your way back home.”

She looked at Susan after Mace left the room. “Tell the boss that I will get back to work in three days. Stop getting new projects for me after I finish my current work. Get the script of this IP for me, I would like to figure out the role and rehearse it.”

Susan nodded. “Okay.”

At the same time, Jada was meeting up with Levi.

Levi was the director of “The Path of No Return” and Jada’s uncle.

Jada was ten years younger than Levi. However, they were quite close to each other. He would even tease her sometimes. She was not like his niece, but rather his sister.

The intimacy of the two was evident.

To be honest, Levi was surprised when Jada approached him.

Ever since she and Joel were together, she had been indifferent to him, which made him very disappointed.

But Levi also knew that Jada did not deliberately ignore him. She was just spending all her time on Joel.
