Bewildered, Arielle turned around and noticed a man was standing behind her.
“Ms. Moore! It's really you!”
The man seemed excited at the sight of Arielle.
At the same time, Arielle recognized the man.
“Mr. Sleight?”
“Yep, that's me!” Sam pointed at the vacant seat beside her and asked, “Could I sit next to you and chat for a bit?”
Arielle nodded and gestured for him to take a seat.
The man took a seat beside her merrily and said, “I didn't expect to bump into you here. Are you busy lately?”
“I... am occupied these days, but not particularly busy for anything. Why, Mr.
Sleight?”
Actually, Arielle could already guess what the man was about to say.
As expected, Sam explained his intention, “I've just ended a round of audition, and I'm treating the film crew to a barbecue here. To be frank, I didn't think that the audition went too well. Ms. Moore, I'd like to ask you to reconsider assuming the role of the female lead of my film this time. I don't think there's anyone else who is more suited for the role.”
It was a female lead role of a disaster film, and Arielle knew for a fact that the female lead was the protagonist of the whole film.
Hence, the selection for the female lead was of utmost importance.
According to the script, the female lead seemed like a hard-headed and reserved character. At the same time, however, the female lead was a compassionate character as well. As a matter of fact, Arielle's personality mirrored that of the female lead perfectly.
As the director of the film, Sam already had his sights set on having Arielle as the female lead.
It was for the same reason that Sam had once again requested for Arielle to accept the role.
Arielle gave him an apologetic smile and said, “I'm really sorry. I don't have any plans to join the entertainment industry. The ambassador gig for Soir Coffee happened by chance.”
