Selena nodded.
She did not laugh. After all, it was better to be restrained in this situation.
Ivan stretched out his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Ms. Nelson, you’re indeed beautiful. You’re even prettier in person. I have seen the movie that you made an appearance in and thought that you were the most outstanding person in it. Ms. Nelson, you’re a natural-born actress! I want to start my own film company, so why don’t you join my company? I’ll let you be the female lead in every movie.”
Selena laughed. The smile on her face deepened and reached her eyes.
She shook Ivan’s hand politely and immediately let go.
If she joined his company, she was afraid that she would be exploited.
Selena smiled and declined. “No, thanks. I’m not interested in acting.”
Ivan did not conceal his admiration for her. His eyes were bright and he stood by her side, unwilling to give up. He continued to speak.
“Acting is a good career. You’ll make a lot of money! Don’t you like this kind of lifestyle? After you have acted in a few films, you can win awards and be a qualified actress!”
Selena’s eyes were bright and she could not help but chuckle with her head lowered.
“No, thanks. I’m really not interested.”
It turned out that the reason Ivan bought the Best Actor Award was that he wanted to be a qualified actor.
Selena was a little dumbfounded.
Just as they were talking, the sound of high heels gradually approached.
“Ivan.”
Ivan turned around, smiled, and patted Selena’s shoulder as if they were close to each other.
“Ms. Nelson, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Lara.”
Selena turned her head lazily, took a glance, and looked away again.
She did not greet Lara.
It was a bit strange to see Ivan and Lara on this cruise ship.
Selena thought that this was a business party, but perhaps Lara and Ivan tagged along with another bigwig.
After all, she also came here with Eric.
It was probably not that difficult to attend this party.
Ivan paused, then smiled and said, “I know you girls have a bit of a misunderstanding. Lara specially came here to find a chance to reconcile with you. It’s better to settle your grudge than to hold on to it. It’s not a big deal, anyway. Why don’t you two take this opportunity to talk about it?”
Selena could not help but yawn. She covered her mouth with her slender fingers and looked languid yet beautiful.
Her rejection was evident.
Ivan also pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
He said so much, and his patience was wearing out.
Selena was so stubborn that she did not listen to what he said.
Lara took a step forward, smiled gently, and tried to make this matter seem insignificant.
“Ms. Nelson, it was my fault. My sister left the set on the same day. Mr. Griffin was furious and thought that I implicated the entire cast. It’s understandable that you’re mad at me. But please don’t implicate the others. They are all innocent and just want to make a living.”
Selena brushed her hair and turned around. The corners of her lips curled up, and her tone was dull.
“Lara, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. What happened to the cast? You kicked me out of the set, so why are you looking for me when something goes wrong?”
Selena stood there innocently and tilted her head.
