Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 555

It was like the deal between Lucy Katz and Joel Foster did not exist.

If Lucy’s mother was not staying at the St. Petersburg Hospital, she would have felt a bit oblivious as to whether the deal that day even happened.

However, if Joel did not look for her, she certainly was not about to take the initiative.

She could only act as if she had forgotten.

Life went on like this. Today, they finally finished the last scene and the crew was celebrating. At night, the director booked a restaurant and invited everyone over.

Lucy, as the lead actress, was naturally invited.

She went into the dressing room and got changed, then went over with her assistant and a few other supporting actresses.

However, when she got to the restaurant, she noticed that the director did not only book one private room, there were people in the other 2 private rooms.

One of the private rooms was for the crew members and the innermost VIP private room hosted a few guests who were specially invited by the director.

It was unexpected, but Lucy did not overthink this and went into her private room.

Shortly after, others arrived.

The director also arrived but he did not stay for too long in her private room. He just drank a bit with everyone and pulled Lucy out individually.

Lucy came out to the hallway and asked, “Director, is there something you need?”

The director looked at her and smiled.

“It’s like this. After collaborating with you this time, I personally really appreciate your ability. Since now is the closing ceremony for this series, I will be directing another movie. I’m not sure if you’ll be interested. If you’re interested, I’d like you to play the female lead.”

Lucy was taken aback and was a bit surprised.

She liked working with this director and was confident in his character.

Since he wanted to collaborate with her again, he must have thought about it carefully and was not joking.

As an actress, as long as the script was good, there would be no reason to reject him.

Therefore, Lucy nodded her head and replied, “Of course I’m interested! Thanks for appreciating my talent, Director.”

The director had already inferred she would say this and smiled.

“Coincidentally, the movie’s investor and screenwriter are here. They wanted to rush for a script, so they would like to ask if you have any opinions. If you don’t mind, you can come with me.”

Lucy promptly agreed.

The director let Lucy back into her private room to bid her colleagues goodbye before he brought her into another private room.

After she entered the room, she noticed that 3 men were already inside along with a female screenwriter.

The most surprising was that Simon Wilburn, the male lead who she partnered with in the previous series, was also there.

Simon Wilburn saw her and waved at her while he smiled.

“Oh! I thought you wouldn’t come over! Looks like you’re pretty ballsy. Come sit with me!”

This storyline was not considered a serious drama. It was more towards comedy. This comedy talked about a man and a woman who had swapped souls.

The main characters were both forensic doctors, so wedged between the laughter were some serious plots.

She had just finished filming a suspense detective drama, so at this time, she was easily carried away by anything with suspense elements.

After Lucy finished looking at the outline, she excitedly told the screenwriter, “This script will be great once it’s out! I’m very interested in this.”

As expected, the director smiled and said, “I knew you'd be interested in this. I was thinking that since you have worked well with Simon on the previous show, even if it’s not out yet, I think the results will be great. You’ll most definitely get a wave of shippers.

“We were thinking of taking advantage of this heat and let you film this movie. Stir up some couple news. This way, it’ll set new heights for the two of you as well as these 2 films. What do you think?”

Simon Wilburn did not have an issue with this and was even eager to be with Lucy since he did not make any progress in the past few months.

It was just too bad that the other party’s reaction was too slow and he did not dare to make a bold move. After all, he contemplated their identities. His scandal before brought him some troubles, and the series was still filming. If he removed this thin layer of curtain between them, if the other party accepted then it would be great. However, if she had rejected him, it would have been awkward between them and would ultimately affect the filming progress.

Now the situation was different. The series was done filming, he could finally confess to her without hesitation.

Once Lucy heard the phrase “stir up some couple news”, she subconsciously frowned.

However, she did not blatantly reject the idea and said, “I can’t make this decision on my own. I’ll have to ask my manager first.”

Director Coombs nodded as an indication of his understanding.

“This can be discussed later on. Do you have any requirements regarding the script?”

Lucy thought about this and concluded that she did not have any special requirements overall.
