Chapter 147 Ask The Reason
"You introduced Evelyn and Lauren to me, and I think they're both very good actresses. Now there are not many actresses who can be so young, capable, and hard-working. Especially Lauren, sometimes, she is so expressive that I can't believe she is so young."
Clarissa listened to him quietly without interrupting, waiting for his next words.
In fact, she had guessed what he was going to say.
Sure enough, she heard Freddie say, "'Destiny Fragrance' will basically be finished in two months. One of my friends is about to film a new movie, but he is a young director and has no reputation. It's not a big-budget production, but he chose Lauren and wanted her to play the leading role. I know you have a good relationship with Lauren, so can you help me persuade her?
Clarissa smiled.
"Director Jordan, this is a good thing. Why don't you tell Lauren yourself? Don't you meet each other on the set every day? It is easier for you to talk to her!"
Freddie was in a dilemma.
"Well... To tell you the truth, I've asked her, but she didn't agree."
Clarissa was taken aback, feeling somewhat surprised.
She knew Lauren. Although Lauren was the most popular actress in the entertainment circle, she was not snobbish, and she never looked down on new directors.
With the support of the Jones family, she was not short of acting resources, and even her team was very chilled. Basically, when she chose a play, she only cared about whether she liked it or not, and she wouldn't mind if it was not a big-budget production.
Since Freddie dared to recommend it to her, it meant that the play itself should be pretty nice.
But Lauren didn't agree, which was a bit strange.
Clarissa nodded slightly, "In this case, she should have her own thoughts! I am just her friend and have no right to make a decision for her, so I am afraid that it is useless for you to ask me for help."
Freddie hurriedly said, "I know. I didn't force you to let her agree, but I want to have a try as long as there is a hope."
He rubbed his hands in a dilemma and looked embarrassed, "Honestly, my friend really wants her to play the leading role. I don't expect you to convince her. Could you please ask her why she doesn't accept it? We can think of other ways to persuade her if we know the reason!"
Clarissa thought for a while, and felt that it was okay. In addition, Freddie's attitude was indeed very sincere, so she agreed.
But she reminded him, "Let me tell you first. I will only ask her the reason, and I will not be responsible for persuading her. If she still doesn't agree, you can't blame me."
Freddie agreed promptly. After reaching a consensus, he left with great gratitude.
When he left, he left the gift box on the table.
Feeling helpless, Clarissa called Anderson and told him about it.
Unexpectedly, Anderson only smiled and said, "I asked him to give it to you. Just accept it."
Clarissa was speechless.
But since he said so, she didn't say anything else.
After hanging up the phone, she called Lauren and asked her to go out shopping and having dinner at night.
Lauren agreed.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Clarissa drove straight to the mall after work.
During this period of time, Lauren had been filming. She stayed in the crew all day and seldom came out, so she could come out to chill out that day.
However, as soon as they met, Clarissa keenly found that Lauren didn't seem to be in good spirits. Her face was a little pale, and she looked so listless.
Clarissa asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you so tired because of filming, or are you sick?"
As she said this, she was about to reach out to touch her forehead.
Unexpectedly, Lauren turned her body slightly and avoided her movements. Her eyes flashed with some guilty conscience as she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, and I just don't feel well. Maybe it is because I always played at night recently!"
Clarissa didn't think much. She nodded with understanding.
But she still said with concern, "No matter how tired you are, you must pay attention to your health. Don't you have several assistants? Let them cook some nutritious soups for you!"
Lauren smiled reluctantly, "I dismissed all my assistants. Now no one works for me except for Sasha."
Clarissa was dumbfounded.
When Lauren used to play in a film, there were always so many assistants around her, and she was just like a proud princess.
People didn't dare to criticize her, because she was really famous and she had great acting skills.
But she only had one assistant at this moment. There was no way it could have happened!
Seeing Clarissa's surprised face, Lauren laughed at herself helplessly.
"It's surprising, isn't it? Actually, it's okay. People will always have to rely on themselves one day."
Clarissa was startled slightly and asked, "What do you mean? Did you argue with your father?"
Lauren didn't hide it from Clarissa and nodded.
"Why?"
However, Lauren didn't seem to want to mention this matter anymore. She shook her head, "Nothing. It is something annoying. I could seldom come out to relax, so don't talk about it anymore. Let's go shopping."
Seeing this, Clarissa had to nod.
They went shopping together for a while, and then chose a nicely decorated high-end restaurant for dinner.
Seeing that Lauren looked weak, Clarissa specially ordered some of her favorite dishes.
Unexpectedly, Lauren frowned as soon as the dishes were served.
"What's wrong? You really don't look well. Do you want to accompany you to the hospital first?"
Lauren waved her hand immediately and smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine."
Clarissa was worried, but she couldn't force Lauren to go the hospital because she was very determined.
It didn't take long before all the dishes were served.
Lauren was slender, looking noble and glamorous. But in private, she liked to eat meat very much. However, she didn't eat much in ordinary times, because she was an actress and had to stay in shape.
Clarissa, who grew up with her, knew it the best.
Therefore, as soon as the dishes were served, Clarissa picked a piece of beef and put it in her bowl. While picking dishes for her, she said, "You must pay more attention to your health. Although you have to keep your figure as an actress, you can't eat too little. Just take today as holiday. Eat more, and you won't become fat just because of this meal. Don't worry!"
Looking at the piece of meat in the bowl, Lauren frowned slightly.
But she didn't say anything. She picked it up with chopsticks and sent it to her mouth with difficulty.
However, before she ate it, she smelled the smell of the meat, and felt sick at the stomach.
She quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm sorry".
Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly got up and rushed to the bathroom.
Before Clarissa could react, Lauren had left.
Sitting there blankly, she was dumbfounded for several seconds before realizing what had happened.
Lauren's reaction...
No way!
