I treated her this way, yet she generously came to evaluate me.
Sawyer felt that he really had no face to stay here anymore. Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
But... compared to losing face, he felt there was something more important to do.
Sawyer walked up to Aurelia Shaw, "Um... about the audition earlier, I apologize. I indeed mixed personal and work matters and wasn't rigorous enough. However, I genuinely think you are the most suitable person to play Amelina Collins. This is not to make up for my mistake but because I truly feel this way in my heart."
Aurelia raised an eyebrow, looking at Sawyer who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Sawyer thought she was going to reject and hurriedly said, "If you blame me for deliberately making things hard for you earlier, you can make any request, and I will meet it for you."
"But I hope that because of me, you won't give up on this role that really suits you. Amelina Collins truly suits you! There is no one but you!"
After watching Aurelia's performance, how could he watch anyone else's?
She is the most suitable woman to play Amelina Collins!
No, in that scene just now, she was Amelina Collins, the pure and innocent autistic girl that constantly echoed in his mind as he developed this character.
Aurelia raised her eyebrows and said, "Director Ying, you keep saying you want to apologize to me, but in your words, you still think I'm a sneaky diva who sneaked in through the backdoor."
Sawyer was shocked, "I... I didn't."
Aurelia chuckled lightly, "You said any request I make you will surely fulfill it, don't you think I will ask for a sky-high price, raise the pay, and put forward a bunch of special treatment requests for the crew?"
Sawyer blushed. Indeed, that's what he thought. In other words, no actor would miss such an opportunity to negotiate terms and improve their benefits. What he said was partially to make amends and partially to negotiate with Aurelia.
Aurelia's face darkened.
Sawyer's heart skipped a beat. From the audition to the conversation, Aurelia's attitude was neither too close nor too distant, keeping a certain distance but still seemed amiable.
But what he didn't expect was that Aurelia also had a strong side.
This made Sawyer no longer dare to underestimate Aurelia.
Aurelia said coldly, "To be able to write a protagonist like Amelina Collins, I thought Director Ying would be different from others, but now it seems I was wrong."
"Turns out you are just as common as them. Sorry, I cannot play Amelina Collins."
Neither Sawyer nor Amanda Fuller expected that she would really refuse.
Seeing her about to leave, Sawyer felt anxious and walked quickly over, "Grandma, I admit I am common, but only you can perfectly portray the role of Amelina Collins. Anyone else playing it would have flaws. Please don't let this role fall into the hands of someone unsuitable because of me."
Aurelia stopped in her tracks, her peach blossom eyes widened, looking at him in surprise.
Sawyer thought he had a chance and started talking profusely, completely unaware of the "Grandma" he had blurted out.
After talking for a while, seeing Aurelia looking at him intently, and Amanda Fuller also looking at him with a strange expression, Sawyer paused, thinking: Did I say something wrong?
"Grandma?" Aurelia's voice sounded, curving her lips with amusement, "Director Ying is so polite, using this title, I feel unworthy."
Sawyer was dumbfounded and instantly realized what he had said. His bearded, dark-skinned face turned a deep red that couldn't be hidden, "No... it's not like that..."
He had been thinking about the bet with Mason Nightshade, and accidentally blurted it out.
