It was hard to believe Jacinta would want to play the bad guy's role when she used to insist on playing the role of teenage girls in the past.
However, on second thought, Megan figured her previous success might have inspired Jacinta to take on the role. After all, Katherine's character seemed like a good choice for Jacinta who was eager to make a turnaround in her acting career.
Jacinta stood by their table, looking distressed, after Pierce's sharp retort.
Megan watched on as she wondered what kind of response Jacinta would come up with.
After a long while, Jacinta finally responded.
Mr. Hughes, at least I'm better than the woman sitting in front of you in terms of acting and experience. I heard that she's already been chosen as one of the candidates for the female lead role. Am I not competent enough to play Katherine, who's just a mere supporting character?”
Pierce's face clouded over upon her words. He sneered and gave Jacinta a stern look.
“Where did you hear that from? What rights do you have to intervene in casting? Moreover, you're so annoying. What do you mean by a mere supporting character? Talk to me again after reading the novel, okay?”
Jacinta was utterly humiliated by Pierce's questions. She gritted her teeth, confused as to why Pierce wouldn't give her leeway.
He merely used those pretentious and grandiose words as an excuse to reject her. She thought she already had a good grasp of the character
before this.
Jacinta couldn't suppress her anger any longer upon that thought. She turned around, gave Megan a menacing look, and pointed at her calm and collected face.
“Mr. Hughes, admit it. You were lying to yourself just now, aren't you? Do you really think this woman has a firm grasp on Elizabeth's character? She simply became a candidate for the female lead role because she has the President of Sky Entertainment to back her up.”
