The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming-Chapter 291 - 288: Anxious

At this moment, Victor King sent her a WeChat message.

Victor King: "Elliana, all the main roles for the new script have been arranged. Take a look, and if you’re not happy, I’ll rearrange."

Victor King: [link]

So quickly arranged, Victor King really is proactive.

She clicked the link and glanced over it. Tiana Harris was the lead actress, Joy Lyle was the second female role, Summer Hue the third, ...

Andrew Hue was the lead male.

None of this surprised her. In the original, the male lead started as an innocent young lord and gradually grew through family disasters.

This would be a test of Andrew Hue’s acting skills. If he couldn’t do it, they’d have to replace him, so there was another audition in a few days she needed to attend.

As she read further, she saw an unexpected name.

Brian White was cast as the second male lead! She remembered she hadn’t finalized things with Brian White yet, right?

How did he get cast as the second male so quickly? It seemed a bit fast.

Kitty: "How is Brian White the second male lead?"

After sending the message, the other party’s typing indicator lingered for a full minute.

Victor King must have been thinking about how to explain it to her.

Buzz~

Victor King: "Elliana, this was a decision I made on my own. Based on the interview, Brian White seems very promising."

Victor King: "Signing him is beneficial for the company’s future. There are currently very few people with such good acting skills. If you think it’s not right, I can change it."

What? He’s already been signed? So quickly?

It’s only been a day!

It seems July Media really lacks people, hence Victor King’s urgency.

Her hesitation was because Brian White’s acting skills were exceptionally good, and she suspected Brian White might be an undercover sent by Roland due to White Orchid’s involvement with Roland.

She didn’t quite believe Brian White’s layoff excuse, considering how young he was. How could he be a priority layoff choice?

However... there was no issue with Brian White playing the second male lead. After all, the second male was a classic tragic character, slightly deranged, which matched Brian White’s image perfectly.

Kitty: "Let’s wait and see, currently undecided."

She had to evaluate Brian White some more before accepting him easily, even if Victor King had already signed him up.

If there were problems, she could shelve Brian White.

Victor King: "Elliana, you need to decide quickly. Mr. Bennett has already helped us contact director Howard King. He can come to shoot by October at the latest, and we need to act fast to capture the domestic market."

She knew she shouldn’t hesitate in big matters, but this really required some hesitation.

Norman Bennett managed to contact a director for her, Howard King, whom she knew and was acquainted with. He had directed her first film. While his technical and aesthetic skills were commendable, his reputation wasn’t great.

It was said that he recently made money and went back to dabble in condiments, using many precious ingredients, aiming to create the best condiments. But due to high prices, people didn’t buy, and eventually, the factory failed, and he went bankrupt again.

Clearly, he was a film school graduate but was fixated on tinkering with a condiment factory; who knows what he was thinking?

Kitty: "Okay, I understand."

After dealing with Victor King, she realized she was about to reach Vicars Hotel, so she told the driver, "Go to Green Laurel Bay." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Zane Bennett’s villa was in Green Laurel Bay. She needed to ask Zane Bennett about Summer Hue.

She remembered because of checking WeChat. Andrew had been searching for a man with a scar over his right eye, yet had no results. Summer Hue also hadn’t been in touch.

The good morning message she sent in the morning still hadn’t been replied to.

Meanwhile, she called Zane Bennett.

Zane Bennett was sitting on the company sofa, flipping through photos of Summer Hue with mixed expressions of worry and smiles.

As he flipped through, his phone suddenly froze, then displayed a call from Elliana Lyle.

Zane Bennett’s expression paused, feeling odd. Why would Elliana call him? His heart felt slightly panicked.

After some thought, he decided to answer the call.

Upon answering, he grumbled, "Brat, what do you want?"

After all, she interrupted him from looking at his wife, so he felt a bit displeased, not to mention a bit tense, hence the grumpy tone.

But on the other end, Elliana’s tone was serious, ignoring his attitude, and in a cold voice, she asked, "Where are you? I want to meet you."

"I’m at the company. You want to meet me? What’s up?" Because of Elliana’s serious tone, he also became earnest.

His heart felt even more flustered, like a heavy stone hanging there, unsettled.

Because Elliana had never been serious with him, such an attitude definitely meant something was up.

Though he couldn’t clearly understand what it was.

Elliana simply replied, "It’s nothing, I’m coming to see you now."

As she finished, there was a drawn-out beep―!

The sound lingered as he stared perplexedly at the disconnected call.

Nothing? Then why meet him?

This abnormal situation must mean something bad.

After some thought, he turned to dial Norman Bennett’s number.

It took two calls to connect; he couldn’t wait to ask, "Hey~ bro, what’s up?"

A cold voice replied from the phone, "Talk."

Sure enough, it was his brother. If the other end spoke more words, he’d suspect Norman Bennett had been kidnapped.

"Bro, Elliana just called me, saying she’s coming to see me. She sounded urgent. Do you know what’s going on?"

Norman Bennett: "No idea."

"Um..." He was momentarily stumped, unsure what to say, thought for a bit, then asked again, "Bro, what if Elliana comes looking for trouble? What should I do?"

The line went silent for a few seconds before his brother coldly replied, "You don’t have to hang up; just watch what you say."

Does this mean? Surveillance!

Well, that was for the best. If Elliana came, asking all sorts of questions, and he accidentally spilled something, his brother might turn on him right away!

After all... he had accidentally overheard a conversation between his brother and Raymond Wood and had been nosy enough to want to listen more clearly.

In fact, he did overhear quite a bit, but due to exerting too much force, he had pushed open an unlatched door.

Caught in the act.

Looking back, he regretted it. He shouldn’t have eavesdropped!

Oh well, whatever comes, comes.

He quickly got up and walked to his desk, rummaging in the drawer: "Bro, don’t worry. I won’t mention a word to Elliana. I’ll put on my Bluetooth headset; you have to help me out then."

Though he wasn’t easily tricked, Elliana was involved, and he knew there were things she shouldn’t know.

This might very well be why she was coming to question him, so naturally, he was nervous.

Soon, Elliana arrived in a hurry with a large group of people heading towards his office, enveloped in a dark cloud, leaving him stunned.

Elliana raised her hand, and only then did the bodyguards step back, waiting outside the door.

As Elliana turned to close the door, he quietly asked, "Bro, did you hear that?"

However, even after Elliana had turned around, he didn’t hear anything through his headset.

Could it be he didn’t hear? Helplessly, he loudly addressed Elliana: "Oh dear sister-in-law, nice to meet you! Have you eaten? Please, sit, sit!"
