Chapter 289


    “No, not at all.” Joana said with a smile, “Actually, a reporter from FableVision Entertainment wanted to


    interview men brought her along. After all,


    through them.”


    “Female lead?” The director frowned, “Who told you that you are the female lead of this drama?”


    This short sentence left Joanapletely baffled.


    Emily was also surprised, “Sir, it was you who personally sent me a message yesterday telling me to


    “Yeah, I did send the message, but could you please read it carefully? Are you ming me for your


    ownck of attention?” The director was irritable, already annoyed to see Joana bringing a whole crowd


    with her, and even more so at her attitude.


    After all, truly talented people don’t need to parade around with bodyguards and assistants to show


    how popr they are.


    Emily took out her phone and looked at the text again, “Gaines, yeah, you did actually tell us toe


    and sign the contract for the female lead today.” Gaines: “It is indeed a contract for the female lead, but


    not for Endless Longing, it’s for Tycoon’s Sweetheart!”


    Tycoon’s Sweetheart?


    Gracie almost burst intoughter, but managed to hold it–in.-


    Emily and Joana were stunned. They had indeed been in touch with the drama Tycoon’s Sweetheart,


    but they never thought the female lead the director was talking about would be from this drama!


    Joana: “Mister, so the female lead for Endless Longing is really Astrid?”


    Gaines: “Yes, it’s her. She’s the perfect female lead for the drama.”


    Joana became anxious, impulsively saying, “Gaines, you can’t use Astrid, she can’t carry the drama.


    Plus she’s only been acting for a short time, how can she handle such a major role!”


    “When did I start needing your guidance for casting?” The director was already annoyed with Joana’s


    rudeness, and her aggressive attitude how made Astrid look even better, “You can leave now. Anyway,


    someone who needs a bunch of bodyguards whenever she goes out like you probably wouldn’t be


    interested in a small web series like this. We can’t afford a big shot like you, so please leave!”


    “Gaines, don’t be mad, Joana is young and didn’t control her words well.” Emily never expected things


    to turn out this way and quickly pulled Joana aside, “Joana, hurry up and apologize to the director!”


    Joana had just been nominated as the most popr female actress and was extremely arrogant. She


    had always looked down on the drama, so she directly said, “I didn’t say anything wrong, I don’t need


    to apologize!”


    With that, Joana stormed off, leaving Emily standing awkwardly to the side.


    Having had enough of this farce, Astrid and Gracie slowly descended the stairs.


    When they remembered Joana’s self–inflicted humiliation, they couldn’t help butugh.


    Not long after the two left, a trending topic appeared.


    #Astrid Snatched Joana’s Role#


    When they saw this trend, Gracie and Astrid were having dinner.


    Gracie said, “How can this woman be so shameless? The director clearly said that you’re the lead, so


    how did it be you snatching her role?” “Gaines will clear things up. Right now, I’m the focus of


    public opinion, no matter what I say,izens won’t believe me.” Astrid was really hungry. Gracie


    looked at her wolfing down her food, “Where’s your celebrity grace, eating like a starving beast?”


    “Hey… who’s this?” Gracie suddenly widened her eyes looking at the screen, “Astrid, we’re in big


    trouble! Who is this crazy fan that popped out of nowhere?”
