Chapter 135 Her lips stretched into a wide grin, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. “Every time | see myself through. Amo’s lens, my confidence soars. You'll understand when we start shooting the commercial,” Avery sliced into a piece of steak, asking, “Have we finalized the lead actress yet?” Arnold stroked his chin, responding, “I'm planning on casting your senior, Sophie. Her recent TV shows have received positive feedback. She’s one of the most promising newcomers at Serenity Films, and her fee for the commercial is quite reasonable.” Aurelia nodded. She had discussed this with Arnold a few days prior and found Sophie a good fit as well. Not only was Sophie beautiful, but she also exuded an elegant aura. Her reputation was impeccable, which meant there was no risk of her damaging the project.

Avery broke into a cold sweat, “Sis, don’t tell me you're a shipper?” Aurelia pulled a face, “Isn't shipping couples the trend in the entertainment industry these days? Can anyone even escape being shipped?” Arnold chuckled, “Indeed, the audience loves to ship couples. | think your idea is great. Serenity Films is planning to produce a school series, and Avery is perfect for the lead role. Sophie can audition for the female lead.” Avery perked up at the mention of a leading role. What actor wouldn't want to play the lead? “I'll do my best to secure the role.” Aurelia giggled, “Not to brag, but our Avery has the face of a leading man.” Just then, Nydia sent a message to Avery via WhatsApp. The variety show they were recording over the weekend had added a new regular guest, Evan.
Avery had mentioned Evan to her, so she wanted him to be prepared.
Evan was like a dark cloud overshadowing Avery's bright mood, dampening his spirits by half.

“It's a tragedy of the entertainment industry if such a person becomes popular.” “Don't let him bother you. Whether on looks or height, you're far superior. If anyone should feel awkward, it's him.” Aurelia said, draping an arm over her brother’s shoulder, “But remember to maintain your composure. Be diplomatic and avoid direct confrontations.” “I understand.” Avery nodded. He knew where to draw the line.
Arnold took a sip of his soup, his voice deep, “Isn't Evan a star brought in by Louisa, signed under the management company of Luminous Vision Media?” “Yes.” Avery sighed, “Luminous Vision Media is the biggest media conglomerate, and their management company is the most powerful. If they decide to promote Evan, he will certainly rise to the top, and he'll probably become even more arrogant.” Arnold patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, you're also being promoted by Serenity Films, and you're in a much better position than him. It's still uncertain who will become popular first.” Aurelia swirled her glass of fruit juice, surprised that Evan had signed with Luminous Vision Media. But the big boss seemed not knowing that, as he wouldn't be bothered with such matters.
“Even if he does become popular, it's useless if he has a poor character. Sooner or later, his career will crumble. Serenity Films is the one with the real vision. They signed you. You're the true future superstar!” Avery scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by his sister's praise.
“Sis, let's stay humble.” Aurelia stuck her tongue out, “Alright, I'll wait until you become famous to show off.” Arnold watched her, unable to suppress his laughter. He truly enjoyed her quirky and playful personality. Being with her was always refreshing and never dull.
Aurelia took a bite of her fries, turning her gaze to him, “Can | visit the set during the variety show recording?” “Of course, I'll take you.” Arnold understood her concern. She was worried that her brother might be bullied. This kind of sibling bond was something he deeply desired but could never have.
