However, before she reached the stage, Aiden Shaw had already left, his expression extremely distant and cold, and he directly left the set.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately began to talk among themselves.
When he sat in the judge's seat, everyone was shocked; no one expected to see the legendary Mr. Shaw here.
When Tiana Thorne's name was announced, he personally went on stage to act with her, which was even more astounding and unbelievable.
And now, he just left...
Could it be that there's some connection between him and Tiana Thorne?
But the thought was immediately dismissed.
How could someone as lowly as Tiana Thorne be involved with Mr. Shaw?
Yet some were still puzzled, asking, "Could it be that Mr. Shaw just wanted to act with Tiana Thorne?"
"How is that possible? A woman as disgusting as her? It's just a coincidence."
"I think so too, Mr. Shaw just values this production. However, on the surface, he's completely ignoring Jodie Tanner's presence."
"Leaving directly, it seems not everyone likes her type; even someone like Tiana Thorne isn't as bad."
Listening to the whisperings of the crowd, Jodie Tanner only felt deeply embarrassed, angry, and wronged, for the first time experiencing the feeling of falling from a high pedestal.
This was all thanks to Tiana Thorne.
She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of malice.
A while ago, a director contacted her, asking her to find a suitable actress for a more risqué film, with a generous commission.
Now, it seems she's found one.
With Tiana Thorne's acting skills, not doing an art film would be a waste, wouldn't it?
…
Tiana Thorne removed the fox tail, sat in the dressing room, and took off her red contact lenses to let her eyes breathe.
She felt a swell within her.
With a smirk, indeed, her thoughts were not wrong; she must have captured some hearts. At this moment, she felt a bit comfortable, just like being worshipped in the past.
What to do.
This fellow Aiden Shaw wants to ruin her career!
Is he a judge?
Or the male lead?
Damn it, if he were the male lead, would she give up the competition?
This guy, not content with being a big shot in the entertainment industry, suddenly appeared on set with her; luckily her skills were good, otherwise she'd be screwed.
At this moment, the door opened.
Tiana Thorne turned around and saw a man in a black suit, quite handsome, but she didn't know him.
"Miss Tiana, hello, I'm Jesse Rivers, Mr. Shaw's assistant."
Clearly, he was there to find her.
Her eyes shifted, innocent and harmless, she nodded obediently, "Oh, Brother Jesse, do you need something?"
Jesse... Brother Jesse???
Ahem...
Jesse Rivers awkwardly adjusted his tie, saying, "Miss Tiana, our boss is inviting you."
Tiana Thorne: "Who is Mr. Shaw?"
Jesse Rivers: "..." Is she pretending? But those pure, innocent eyes didn't seem like they were lying.
"The one who just acted with you, Aiden Shaw."
"Oh." She nodded in sudden realization, then said, "No, I'm not going."
Jesse Rivers: "...??"
Tiana Thorne: "He looks so fierce, I'm afraid."
Seeing her looking so adorable and well-behaved, Jesse Rivers suddenly felt a protective urge, speaking up for Mr. Shaw, "Don't worry, Mr. Shaw isn't fierce, it's about the female lead for 'The Fox Fairy.'"
Tiana Thorne finally nodded, "Okay."
Then, she stood up, took a few steps, and uneasily looked at him, "Will you really protect me?"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
Apparently, Assistant Earl was really easy to talk to.
She believed that someone who could be an assistant to a figure like Aiden Shaw must hold a certain place in his heart. If he spoke up for her, things might get much better.
After leaving the dressing room, Jesse Rivers thought for a moment and said, "Regarding the last matter, Mr. Shaw still seems a bit upset. If you apologize later, everything will be fine. Your performance during the audition was outstanding, so there's no problem with the female lead."
Ha.
Saying it so tactfully, isn't it just asking her to be submissive in front of Aiden Shaw and beg him?
If she maintained a firm attitude, the female lead role would be gone.
She, by nature rebellious, detested being threatened the most.
She obediently nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, I know what to do."
With that, Jesse Rivers was relieved.
Actually, he didn't understand what Mr. Shaw was thinking either. Clearly, he had previously agreed to blacklist her, but then allowed Tiana Thorne to audition, even going on stage himself, and now wanted to see her again.
The heart of a man is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Each with their own thoughts, it wasn't long before they arrived at the door to Aiden Shaw's lounge.
