The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 418

"Nope."

Allison asked in a low voice, "What's up, Patty?"

"I was just thinking... maybe I'm overthinking this. I heard Penelope is in the hospital, and her agent Charlie seems to have a lot of free time. She doesn't have any other A-list artists, and for this film, I gave you the leading role, but you chose a supporting one. I was wondering, did I do something wrong?"

Even though Patty's words were gentle, Allison got the jist of it. "So you're thinking that since Penelope is in the hospital, and Charlie doesn't have any top tiers artists to manage, she might come to me, right?" Allison asked.

Patty replied, "I do tend to overthink things."

Allison laughed lightly, "I chose the supporting female role in this show because I thought the character was pretty good. Plus, I just started acting and I like to take it step by step. I don't like to rely on the big bucks behind me to pick roles. You should know that when I choose roles, I only pick what suits me. I don't think I could handle the leading female role in this show. That's why I turned it down, not because I want to get close to Charlie."

Patty sighed in relief, "Hearing you say that makes me feel better."

Allison responded, "Patty, I've always enjoyed working with you. And I trust you a lot."

"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. Let's grab dinner together this weekend if you're free." Patty hung up the phone and took a long breath. After all, Allison had Lucian backing her up, although not many people knew this, she was one of them.

Allison seemed gentle and soft, but she was thoughtful and meticulous. Her words eased Patty's worries. Looked like she was overthinking it.

But she couldn't help but overthink. There were two actresses related to Lucian, one was his fiancée Penelope, and Penelope chose Charlie as her agent. The other was his lover, Allison.

Obviously, Lucian invested more in Allison, and Allison chose Patty.

Now Penelope suddenly got hospitalized, and she needed at least half a year to recover from multiple fractures. The engagement between the Flanagan family and the Lindberg family became chaotic, and only the two families knew about it, outsiders had no way of knowing.
