Sawyer, with a flushed face, continued, "Just let me know if there's anything else you need. If you're not satisfied with me, I will willingly leave the cast as long as you can join 'You Are My Star.'
Aurelia Shaw hadn't expected Sawyer to concede so much.
She's not overly sentimental; the reason for this is to avoid awkwardness between them once filming starts, which could affect the progress. She doesn't like dealing with such troublesome matters, so she decided to solve it all at once.
"When is the filming scheduled to start? Just notify my agent when it begins." Aurelia gave Amanda Fuller a look, and Amanda instinctively walked over and left her phone number with Sawyer.
Sawyer realized that this meant Aurelia agreed, and his heart was filled with excitement, "On the day of filming, shall I send a car to pick you up?"
"No need, we have our own vehicle, so we won't bother the cast. Besides, I prefer the freedom; using my own car is more convenient."
Aurelia politely declined Sawyer's offer. Sawyer didn't insist further. Since the matter was settled, there was no need to linger longer; Aurelia left her number with Sawyer.
Just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly approached.
Aurelia looked up to see it was Eliza Fletcher, her eyes critically scanning the tightly clutched purse in Eliza's hand.
Eliza's hand tightened, her heart pounding with guilt. Could Aurelia have noticed?
Impossible, she hadn't taken out the knife, and besides, it was just an eyebrow razor. Even if Aurelia saw it, she couldn't suspect Eliza of anything.
Eliza suppressed her guilt and walked over confidently. Seeing Sawyer, she paused, then put on a shy smile, "Director Sawyer."
While speaking, she never forgot to embody the essence of Amelina Collins.
Sawyer nodded at her.
Before seeing Aurelia's performance, he thought this girl resembled Amelina Collins by seventy to eighty percent, but after Aurelia's performance, when he looked at Eliza again...it felt like she was forcibly trying to portray Amelina's essence.
Sawyer imperceptibly furrowed his brows. Although he didn't say anything, he had internally eliminated Eliza.
Eliza was still unaware that Aurelia had been chosen as the lead. Seeing them exchange numbers earlier, her eyes suspiciously darted between the two before smilingly asking, "Is this lady someone you know, Director Sawyer?"
Sawyer didn't know the two had already met. Aurelia kept her demeanor calm, with no intention of exposing her.
"If I remember correctly, Miss Eliza came to audition for the role of Amelina as well. You performed well, but I have someone else in mind."
Eliza's fingers clenched tightly but didn't show it on her face, "It wouldn't be this lady, would it?"
Sawyer glanced at Aurelia.
Aurelia thought Sawyer wouldn't announce the cast now, but was surprised when he candidly confirmed, "Yes, it's Miss Aurelia Shaw here. I will announce it on Weibo in a few days."
"Miss Eliza also has good acting skills, but in my opinion, the only one who can portray Amelina is Aurelia. If you're interested in other roles in our cast, you're welcome to audition, but then it won't be me who oversees the auditions."
Sawyer's remarks were straightforward; he didn't realize his words had unintentionally hit Eliza's sore spot.
Eliza's hand clutched tightly, her face pulling a difficult smile, "Alright, if there's a role I like, I'll definitely audition."
Damned it!
Isabel Bennett was right; this Aurelia is a menace, always stealing roles wherever she goes.
And this damned director, daring to say she couldn't embody the essence of Amelina and mockingly provoke her.
