She’s just a stand-in.
There’s no need for people from Star Entertainment to call her personally.
If they wanted to contact her, it should be the person who introduced her in the first place.
What’s more, she has never taken a stand-in job before.
She had made it clear a long time ago to the studio she always worked with that she wouldn’t take stand-in jobs.
So, they wouldn’t introduce her as a stand-in without her request.
She didn’t have time to think about it when she answered the phone earlier.
Now that she thought about it, something seemed off.
"Star Entertainment is a big company. They have many A-list celebrities. Have you ever auditioned for them?"
"No." Joanna Lawrence shook her head, still looking puzzled. "They said there’s a TV series starting soon, and they want me to be the stand-in for Female Lead 1."
"A stand-in?" Aria Rowlett frowned. "Didn’t you say you don’t take stand-in jobs?"
"Yeah." Joanna expressed her doubts. "That’s why I find it strange. I’ve never done stand-in work before, so I don’t know why someone would want me for that."
Aria pondered for a moment, stepped forward, hooked her arm around Joanna’s shoulder, and walked with her. "I’ll ask around about any new Star Entertainment projects and who the female lead is. Anyway, it’s not a big deal, so you don’t have to keep worrying about it."
"Alright." Joanna nodded.
"Baby, can I ask you a question?"
Aria turned her head to look at Joanna, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Who is the heartthrob?"
There were no so-called "ground rules" between her and Ashton Heath.
He never required her to keep his identity a secret.
But he had never revealed his identity in public.
And he had never accepted any media interviews. Many people knew that the Heath Group had a young CEO, but they didn’t know his name or what he looked like.
From this perspective, he’s a very low-key person.
He didn’t want too many people to know his real identity.
Although Aria was her best friend, Joanna still hesitated whether she should tell her the real identity of Ashton Heath.
Before she could decide, Aria spoke first, "If it’s not appropriate to say, then don’t. I don’t have to know. Baby, I just want to know if, with the heartthrob’s status, he can ensure your stability in the entertainment industry. If he can protect you, you can try auditioning for higher-profile roles instead of only accepting minor ones."
"David Benington didn’t agree with you being in the entertainment industry before, so even though he had so many resources, he wouldn’t give them to you. That’s why you couldn’t become famous. After all, doing it by yourself is just too hard. But if the heartthrob doesn’t object to your career and is willing to support you, as long as he ensures you won’t encounter any dirty deals, you’ll definitely become famous with your qualifications."
Aria was speaking her sincere thoughts.
Joanna was beautiful.
She had the kind of beauty that made people feel comfortable and at ease.
Her face was perfect for a "TV Female Lead."
Aria always believed that Joanna’s appearance was perfect for working in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, she had talent.
What she lacked all this time was an opportunity to show her abilities.
