Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 215 Intimidation

It was only later that she discovered that this petite-looking girl was quite capable, she helped Theron deal with a lot of things, and she had a good eye for choosing scripts, and she would not dare to show Theron any book just for money.

Susan glanced at the direction of the door of the training room, and walked lightly to Lila's side: "Can we talk in another place? I don't want Theron to hear the next words."

"Of course." Laila gestured to go, letting her lead the way.

Susan led her into her office.

Thanks to the small number of people in the company, otherwise a novice agent like her would be able to share an office, which is not available in other serious brokerage companies.

After making sure that there was no one around, she closed the office door and let out a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, BOSS. I really don't want anyone to hear the following words."

"It's okay." Lila sat down across from her, and became interested in what she said next: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Before that..." Susan hesitated before asking tentatively, "Is it true what you promised Charlize?"

Laila asked her back with a smile, "Do you think I'm someone who likes to make jokes like this?"

"Of course not!" Susan shook her head quickly: "Just seeing her hard work during this time, I'm afraid..."

Of course Laila knew what she was afraid of. Wasn't she just worried that if she talked about it for a while, Theron would not be able to get her role if she did what she asked?

"Don't worry, I value Theron very much." But she didn't say any more.If an agent can't even understand such blunt hints, it's better not to continue in this business.

Susan really breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! That's good!"

She wasn't worried that Theron would fail to meet the requirements, she was only worried that the boss was just talking casually, and that Theron would be disappointed and collapsed when the role was given to someone else.Now that she was affirmed by the boss, she felt relieved.Now that was the only thing she was worried about.

Laila saw her complexion, which alternated from blue to pale, from happy to depressed, and suddenly felt that this girl was quite interesting, and everything was written on that face.That's not how a broker should do things.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Could it be that you have encountered some unfair treatment in the company?"

"No, it's not!" Susan frowned, and finally regained some of her feminine temperament when she was outside: "Actually, it's like this. You should have heard of American Express, right?"

Lila nodded, "Of course."

It was a large international company that provided various services to successful people. Her grandfather, mother, and even she were senior members of that company, so how could they not know about it?
"Is there a problem with American Express?" she asked.

Susan hesitated again, and then slowly said under the pressing eyes of the boss: "A few days ago, I received a call from a person who claimed to be from the American Express Company, hoping that Theron would be invited to participate in their upcoming conference. annual meeting."

"Oh, that. I know that too." Laila's invitation letter was still in a drawer at home. She wasn't very interested in that kind of thing, so she didn't plan to go to the appointment.

"Since you know it too, you must know who is being entertained at that annual meeting, right?"

"Well, it's all..." Laila was about to say, but stopped suddenly with a frown.Because she knew very well that with Theron's current reputation and income, he would not be able to enter the summit gathering where the "big names" gathered.Then why American Express wanted to find her, the reason for this is debatable.

"Susan, tell me clearly, what did you say on that phone call?" She squinted her eyes, as if she had realized something in her heart.

"They hoped that Charlize could attend the party, and they hinted that a very powerful person was very interested in her and hoped to be friends with her." Susan said this a little angrily: "After hearing that I refused, they again Said that the powerful person didn't like being rejected, and said that as long as she used to help her get a few roles in the film industry."

To put it simply, it is the unspoken rules of coercion and temptation. Laila is very familiar with this. In her previous life, she met countless rich and wealthy people who were willing to "make friends" with the beauties in her crew.At that time, she had no roots and no family, except for turning a blind eye, she could not restrain those people at all.

So much so that she didn't care about these things at all, and the people below could play whatever they liked, as long as they didn't mess up her TV series.

But this life is different. She has a solid foundation and the full support of her family. She really wants to try what kind of warning she will get after rejecting the other party!
Not all of the actresses in the crew in the previous life would succumb to power and money. They also have ideals and are willing to work hard to get rewards.

One thing she remembers very clearly is that when she was filming a TV series, a supporting actress she had previously dug out from the extras.The person is very beautiful, but she is not frivolous, and she is down-to-earth and working hard to perform.

She once told her with a smile that acting is her lifelong dream, and she will keep going no matter what obstacles she encounters.

But she reneged.A rich man takes an interest in her as a "friend" after seeing her in a supporting role on TV.First flowers, then jewelry, and countless sweet words.

But the girl refused, and the end of her refusal was to suddenly disappear from the crew one night, and then disappeared.It wasn't until a reception a few years later that Laila saw her dressed like a doll but with dull eyes, like a walking dead.

Only later did she know that the night the girl disappeared was taken away by the rich man.What happened after that is anyone's guess.

That incident greatly touched Laila in her previous life. She blatantly took her away from her crew and destroyed a girl's innocent and pure dream. Who gave that person such courage?
If she had the power to use, would that person dare to do the same thing?

It just doesn't rule out that some actors are happy to find a ladder that can go straight up. Before Lila makes a decision, she needs to know what Theron himself thinks about this.

If she wants to, then she will be happy to see it happen.If she doesn't want to!Lyla swears that no one will ever take anyone out of her crew the dirty way!

"Tell me, Susan. Would Charlize Theron accept the invitation?"

Susan stared: "Of course I don't want to! She refused after hearing it. It's just that she didn't let me report this matter, saying that she didn't want to cause trouble for the company."

But compared to Theron's innocence, Susan felt that Leila should know about this matter.You must know that their boss is not a simple character.The status of a new Hollywood director alone has given her a lot of voice in Hollywood, not to mention the huge lineup of Moran Media Group and Moran Clothing behind her.
