A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"So, you want to know why you didn't get chosen. Right?" Samuel gently asked, glancing at Julia.

The latter slowly nodded.

Samuel sighed and scratched his head. "The scandal was one of the reasons why you weren't chosen. However, Director Zhang was also forced to choose Leona, who's the producer's mistress. In order to keep the financial sponsorship, Director Zhang had no choice but to choose her."

"But a person like Director Zhang..." Julia furrowed her eyebrows. Director Zhang was such a well-esteemed director. Why would he agree to this?

"You are too simple, Julia." Samuel gave her a sad smile. "It's not uncommon in this industry. No matter how great a director is, they won't be able to film without the proper financial support.

Do you really think the world is filled with good people?"

Julia grimly lowered her head, lost in thought. As she stared, her phone suddenly lit up to reveal a message from Director Guo.

He asked her how she was amidst the situation and asked when she would be able to start shooting.

Julia's eyes widened in surprise.

She thought that he wouldn't contact her anymore after the scandal. He unexpectedly didn't abandon her in her time of need.
