Chapter 152 A Bolt From The Blue
Alvin was taken aback, and he didn't quite understand what she meant.
Clarissa smiled with embarrassment, "To be honest, I got this script from Director Jordan. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. But after reading it carefully last night, I found that it is really a rare script, and I like the leading role very much."
Alvin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You mean..."
"I'm very willing to act in this play, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Alvin was stunned.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly!
He couldn't react for a while. After coming to his senses, he immediately took Clarissa's hand with joy.
"Okay, thank you so much for acting in my play."
Clarissa was startled by his excited look, and Alvin also realized that his reaction was too much, so he released her hand in a hurry and scratched his head awkwardly.
"I have been refused for so many times before, and I didn't expect it would go so smoothly today. Miss Chapman, don't worry. I won't let you play the role in vain."
Clarissa knew what he meant and smiled.
"I don't care about those things, and you don't have to call me Miss Chapman. Just call me by name."
Alvin didn't stand on ceremony and directly agreed. Then he drafted a contract with Clarissa and left happily.
Not long after Clarissa saw off Alvin, she received a call from Freddie.
On the phone, Freddie asked her if Alvin had come to her in a smug tone.
Clarissa answered honestly, and Freddie laughed when he heard that.
"I told him that you wouldn't agree, but he didn't believe me, and he even dared to bet with me. Ha-ha. He must be very embarrassed now!"
Clarissa raised her eyebrows, "Oh? What's your bet?"
"Haha. If I win, he will let me choose the actors of the play. If he wins, I will kneel and call him father."
Clarissa smiled, "You can go back and call him father now."
Freddie was confused.
"I promised him."
Her words came as a bolt from the blue, giving Freddie a severe blow.
Freddie fell into a deadly silence. After a long time, Clarissa heard his slightly trembling and hoarse voice.
"Can I... ask you... the reason?"
Why?
Why did Clarissa promised Alvin but didn't promise him?
How could he face Alvin in the future?
He even made that d*mn bet!
Freddie almost had a nervous breakdown.
Clarissa was amused by him, "Maybe it is because I suddenly want to act!"
Of course she would not tell Freddie that the real reason was that Lara had taken a fancy to the script.
She had already known the truth of her mother's death.
Since it was impossible to punish them with the law, she would use her own way to take back everything they had little by little!
She wouldn't let Lara do anything she wanted!
She wouldn't let her gain anything she wanted!
She would take away everything she cherished!
Until she lost everything and then die in pain!
......
Freddie hung up the phone in an upset mood.
As for why Clarissa agreed with Alvin, he didn't dare to ask any more or say anything else.
The assistant came in and said to him respectfully, "Director Jordan, the scene for tonight has been arranged, and we can return to the crew at four in the afternoon."
Freddie thought for a while and waved at him.
"Prepare the car and we will go back now."
The assistant was a little dumbfounded.
They had been shooting for several months, and Director Jordan said that no matter how strong he was, he needed to take a break, so he specially gave himself a day off. He asked the assistant director to stay in the crew and said that he would go back at night.
Why was he in a hurry to go back at this moment?
Freddie didn't bother to explain to him. He packed up his things quickly and walked out.
However, when he reached the door of the company, he ran into Alvin who had just gotten out of the car.
"Hey, Freddie, are you rushing to the crew?"
Alvin was smiling. His slovenly face seemed to be more handsome and younger because of his good mood.
Freddie stared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Alvin, don't be too proud! Fine, since I have lost the bet, I will call you father!"
Saying this, he really put down his things and was ready to do what he promised.
Seeing this, Alvin was shocked and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Alright. Although you're not afraid of ashamed, I don't want to be so embarrassed. You don't need to call me father. Freddie, do me a favor!"
Freddie looked at him suspiciously.
"What do you want me to do?"
Alvin touched his nose and smiled.
"Nothing. Although the leading actress has been decided, the situation is different from what we have discussed before. Clarissa is a new actress and she is not famous. So you may have to help me discuss with the investors... "
Freddie opened his eyes wide.
He seemed that he almost wanted to kill Alvin.
"Alvin, that's enough! You're the director, not me! You choose the actress, and you even want me to help you with this?"
Alvin's face froze.
He coughed slightly, "Well, I'm too proud to talk to them,"
"So what? Do you think I am a shameless person?"
Alvin was speechless.
"How about kneeling down and calling me father?"
Freddie was so mad that he almost jumped up to beat him.
Finally, he said fiercely, "Wait for my news!"
Then, he left away angrily.
Looking at Freddie's back, Alvin smiled slowly.
It was great to have a close friend!
Freddie managed to helped him get this opportunity, and he couldn't let him down again!
Thinking about this, his expression gradually became serious. After a moment, he took a deep breath, looked up at the clear sky, smiled and then walked out.
Lara had been waiting for Freddie's news these days.
She really didn't want to call Alvin and be refused by him anymore. Alvin was a little-known director, and she heard that he had just directed a few MVs and short advertisement before. He didn't even have a famous film, but he actually dared to refused her.
Although she was implicated in scandals, she was still famous and had huge fan bases. If it were in the past, every director would want her to act in their films. How could she be refused?
In the final analysis, it was all Clarissa's fault!
If it weren't for her, how could she become so miserable?
The more she thought, the angrier she was. She clenched her fists so hard that her nails sank into her palms. When she reacted, there were red pink marks on her white palms, and her hands almost bled.
She took a deep breath, slowly released her hands, and called Erin.
"Erin, how is your communication with Freddie? Did he agree?"
