What surprised Linda was that Gary White had chosen Joanna Lawrence for the role of Female Lead 1.
In fact, it was already quite good for an actress with Joanna’s reputation to play Female Lead 3 in Gary White’s TV series.
Linda had never thought she could get Female Lead 1.
Moreover, it was given to her by Gary White himself.
This was just too surprising.
She suddenly recalled the previously heard rumors; although Joanna had denied them, Gary White’s behavior might be credible after all.
"Hmm, it’s been decided. Director White said he’d resume filming after finalizing all the actors. Linda, do you think I should take the role of Female Lead 1?" Joanna was still a bit unsure of herself. "I’m afraid I won’t do well."
"But I don’t want to miss such a great opportunity either."
"Since Gary White is the one who offered you this role, it means he sees potential in you. His judgment won’t be wrong." Linda thought for a moment, and continued, "He’s quite a sharp critic, and there hasn’t been anyone he couldn’t make famous if he set his mind to it. Joanna, your luck is turning for real this time. As long as Gary White supports you, you won’t have to worry about becoming a star."
Upon saying this, Linda spoke with a sense of relief: "You’re really lucky. This is an excellent opportunity, and you must seize it. I also believe in my judgment; you won’t disappoint me."
"Keep up the good work. I believe in you."
After chatting with Linda, Joanna hung up the phone.
In her heart, she felt much more at ease.
She decided not to dwell on it anymore. Since such a great opportunity was in front of her, all she needed to do was her best.
As for the outcome, it was out of her control.
After exiting through the VIP channel, Joanna arrived at the taxi area and was about to hail a cab when a black Maybach slowly stopped next to her.
The person inside beeped the horn and rolled down the window.
Joanna saw Frank Parker sitting inside.
He raised his eyebrows at her: "Get in. Wherever you’re going, I’ll give you a ride."
Joanna’s eyes widened, as if frightened, and she looked at him with a somewhat scared expression.
Frank Parker was annoyed by her reaction, and his pretty face darkened: "What’s with you?"
It was as if he was a human trafficker trying to abduct her.
Didn’t she know how much of an honor it was to ride in his car?
He had debated for a long time before deciding to come and find her.
"Ahem, thank you, Mr. Parker. However, I’ve already called for a car." Joanna raised her phone and politely declined, "The driver has accepted the order and will be here soon. You can go ahead. Don’t worry about me."
The truth was that she hadn’t called for a car yet.
But she didn’t want Frank Parker to give her a ride at all.
Just thinking about it felt strange.
The man who had always treated her badly now offered to drive her voluntarily.
Since Frank Parker’s attitude towards her had changed and was no longer so hostile, Joanna didn’t feel happy; instead, she felt a sense of unease.
No, more accurately, it was fear.
It always seemed that Frank Parker’s sudden change was brewing some kind of conspiracy.
In any case, there must be some ulterior motive.
This was the first time Frank Parker had ever voluntarily offered to give a woman a ride, only to be rejected.
It made him feel humiliated.
His face darkened again, and for a moment he felt he couldn’t save face, so he made up an excuse: "I’m only doing this to repay you for the gift you gave me earlier."
