Sharon's manager, Jessica, who was watching behind them could hardly bear to look.
The powerful Hamilton family doesn't need the money at all, so why would they allow their daughter to join the entertainment industry ? Despite how glamorous it looks, there are plenty of dark secrets that aren't revealed. In fact, a distinguished family like them would probably know better than anyone else. If one doesn't come from an influential background, one would have to rely on sexual favors to progress in one's career.
Upon hearing Sharon's words, Kenneth threw Natasha a look with his brows furrowed.
Even though Denise was also his daughter, he still felt it necessary to seek Natasha's opinion.
“Ask her.” Natasha gestured at Denise with her chin.
Natasha had an open mind toward every single career choice and would definitely
respect her children's decisions.
At that moment, Kenneth looked at Denise. “Denise, do you like acting?”
Denise turned her attention to Sharon upon hearing the question. “Acting? Just like what you're doing on TV?”
Sharon nodded with a smile. “That's right. I can play all sorts of roles.”
With her eyes glistening with excitement, Denise nodded. “Sure.”
Sharon was surprised that Denise actually agreed. “Given how pretty you are, I'm certain that you will be wildly popular as an actress.
This child has inherited the best of her parents' features. Despite her young age, her beauty is already undeniable. In fact, I can't wait to see how beautiful she will become when she grows up.
Unexpectedly, Denise's beauty wasn't the reason for her choice. She explained, “I just want to experience what it feels like to act as another person.”
At that moment, Sharon didn't know what to say to such a profound rationale.
Just as expected, a kid from a rich family is less motivated by money and fame, but that's precisely why success comes easier to them than others.
Sharon replied with a chuckle, “Mmm-hmm. Acting is all about expressing someone else's life. If you're interested, I can show you around one day, how about that?”
“Yeah!” Denise nodded.
Smiling faintly at Kenneth, Sharon asked, “In that case, Mr. Hamilton, can you give me your contact number so that I can get in touch once the arrangements are made?”
Unexpectedly, Kenneth turned to Natasha instead of Sharon before suggesting softly, “Nat, why don't you give her your contact? After all, you have the final say in our family affairs.”
Speechless, Sharon eked out an awkward smile.
Mr. Hamilton, have you forgotten how you relentlessly insisted on a divorce back then? Since when have you suddenly become the epitome of the perfect husband ?
Nonetheless, Sharon could only keep her sarcastic comments to herself as she shifted her gaze to Natasha. “Mrs. Hamilton...”
Much to her surprise, Natasha corrected her, “I'm not Mrs. Hamilton, as we have divorced a long time ago.”
In spite of that, she still took out her phone to exchange contacts to which Sharon quickly obliged.
“As I seldom check my phone, you had better add Denise's contact too. After all, she makes most of the decisions when it comes to her own affairs,” Natasha added.
Shocked, Sharon had difficulty digesting what she heard. Does Denise really have so much autonomy at such a young age?
Just when she was still lost in her thoughts, Denise came over with her phone to exchange numbers. “That's right, Ms. Sharon. You can contact me directly, for Mommy is so busy that she doesn't have any time for me.”
Sharon added her contact right away. “All right, I understand.” “Call me Denise,” Denise introduced yourself.
“Denise... What an interesting name!” Sharon commented with a grin.
Denise could only sigh in resignation. What more can I expect from my name? I was too young to decide on it back then.
Holding that thought, Denise felt that it was such a shame.
At that moment, Jessica's phone rang. After answering it, she informed Sharon, “Everyone's almost there. If you're late, you might be accused of being a diva!”
