Chapter 377


    Subsequently, Nicole treated Avery like her personal assistant. Not only did she ask thetter to get a


    drink, pour her water, and practice lines with her, but she also asked Avery to go out and get coffee for


    her.


    Basically, she did not let Avery catch her breath.


    Every time Nicole asked Avery to do those things, she would ask in a polite manner instead of ordering


    thetter around arrogantly. She would even act cute and cajole thetter, which made it hard for


    others to find problems with her actions.


    Even the employees from the advertising department felt that a daughter of a rich family who was as


    humble and cute as Nicole was hard to find. Hence, they believed it was only right for Avery to run all


    those errands.


    After all, ordinary citizens rarely had the chance to get so close to a celebrity.


    Meanwhile, Avery forced herself to stay calm, though she knew Nicole was only using a different


    method to make her life difficult.


    Nicole''s status was not the only reason Avery could not afford to offend the former. Avery did not want


    to cause trouble for Cayden. After all, William was Nicole''s backer.


    If Avery identally upset Nicole, thetter might go home andin to William, who would use


    underhanded methods to harm Cayden to avenge his beloved daughter.


    After getting Nicole''s coffee, Avery stood beside the director and watched Nicole perform in the


    perfume advertisement''s shooting.


    Avery could not help butugh when Joseph shouted “cut” for what seemed to be the thousandth time.


    Not that Avery was gloating at Nicole, but thetter''s acting skills were just that horrible.


    Her acting was exaggerated, and she only cared about showing off her beauty. In the end, she


    neglected the main purpose of the advertisement, which was to show off the perfume. After all, the


    perfume was the selling point.


    s, the more displeased Joseph was, the more terrible Nicole''s acting became. In the end, it became


    a vicious cycle.


    Unfortunately for the tall and handsome foreign male model who performed well, he had to endure the


    repeated interruption because of Nicole, which made him feel displeased with thetter as well.


    At that point, Joseph was utterly frustrated. As someone who had been filming movies and


    advertisements for many years, he had met many famous actors and models but never encountered


    one as horrible as Nicole. Her movements were as lifeless as a mannequin.


    This was supposed to be a simple advertisement that could have been done before noon, yet nothing


    wasplete even after spending an entire day on it. For an internationally known director like Joseph,


    every second was precious. Naturally, he was pissed to have wasted an entire day on Nicole, who


    performed poorly.


    When he heard a chuckle in the precinct, he immediately looked in its direction with his blue eyes filled


    with sternness and rage.


    Nheless, as soon as he saw Avery''s smile, he was stunned.


    She wore a professional outfit and had a pair of sparkling eyes and delicate eyebrows, which formed a


    sharp contrast on her face.


    Moreover, she looked dainty and alluring, which made it hard for Joseph to turn his eyes away from


    her.


    Now, this is what I call hot yet innocent looking!


    Unable to understand the words written in Chanaean on Avery''s employee tag, Joseph muttered to the


    manager of the advertising department in Ustranasion, “Who''s that girl? Is she also a model hired by


    yourpany? Her demeanor suits the advertisement. Why don''t we make her the female lead?”


    ncing at Avery, who was in formal clothing, before shifting his gaze to her employee tag, the


    manager replied in Ustranasion, “Mr. Joseph, she''s an employee of the design department, someone


    Ms. Lambert called to help us temporarily. Ms. Lambert is the lead of this advertisement. Is it really


    wise to suddenly switch her out?”


    Avery had studied in Ustrana for several years. Naturally, she was fluent in Ustranasion.


    When she realized Joseph and the manager were talking about her, she walked over, confused. “Hello,


    Mr. Joseph. I''m Avery Rumpley from the design department. I''m here to help out for the time being


    because Ms. Lambert''s assistant is on leave.”


    Her pronunciation was perfect, and she spoke with an Ustranasion ent. One would think she was a


    Ustranasion if they did not see her face.


    Joseph''s blue eyes sparkled instantly. After giving her name some thought, he asked with a smile,


    “Hello, Ms. Rumpley. I think you have an aura that goes well with the perfume advertisement for the


    Queen Collection. Would you be interested in giving it a shot?”


    He was a prideful person with a naturally arrogant demeanor. Even when he was faced with Nicole,


    who had an impressive background, he did not bother treating her with respect. Instead, he was


    indifferent to her.


    The fact that Joseph politely asked Avery to be the lead shocked the manager to the core because the


    latter was aware of Joseph''s strict requirements for actors and actresses. Although Nicole was not an


    international superstar, she was still someone who had been working in the entertainment industry for


    many years. Most importantly, despite her mediocre acting skills, she had some experience in filming


    advertisements.


    How is Avery qualified for the shoot? She has zero experience in filming.


    While it was not umon to invite amateurs to be featured in advertisements, Joseph''s offer still took


    Avery by surprise. Even so, she declined without even giving it some thought, “Mr. Joseph, all I know is


    to design things. I''ve never shot anymercials before. In fact, I don''t have any experience in this at


    all. I''m sure the filming progress will be disrupted if the lead role is reced with me. Regardless, thank


    you for the kind offer.”

    To her surprise, Joseph waved his hand and gazed at her with eyes full of trust and anticipation. “No. I


    believe you can do it. Why don''t you get your makeup done and give it a shot? We''ll talk more if it


    doesn''t work, okay? Susan, doll her up!”


    With that said, the makeup artist, Susan Bone, brought Avery backstage to get thetter''s makeup


    done and change into the outfit. Joseph did not even bother waiting for Avery''s answer.


    s, the foreign assistants did not understand a word Avery said to decline the offer. They merely


    focused on taking her backstage.


    Meanwhile, Nicole stood in the corner and eyed Avery.


    This was Nicole''s territory, after all. She only asked Avery toe here to act as her ve, but never in


    her wildest dreams did she expect Joseph to take a liking to the ordinary Avery and even want the


    latter to rece her as the lead in the advertisement.


    Avery has acted in neither films nor advertisements before. She''s aplete amateur! Hmph. I don''t


    believe she can be better than me. Isn''t Mr. Joseph worried the shoot will be the joke of the town?


    By the time Avery reappeared after getting her makeup done and changed into the outfit, almost


    everyone''s jaw dropped at the sight of her.


    Not only was her dark hair given some curls, but she had also transformed from an innocent woman


    into a seductive one. Despite the drastic change, the crowd did not find the change jarring.


    Avery stood before the crowd with an elegant and regal aura, which perfectly suited the Queen


    Collection''s characteristics.
