Chapter 515 Tension

"If all three parties agree, the lead female role is practically settled."

Winnie chimed in, "Mr. Sowle, are you gathering us here to choose the female lead between Tracy and Evelina?"

Lance's eyes flickered slightly, and he offered them a vague answer, which was likely to mislead them.

"You two are the backbone of this company. Of course, we'll consider you first for the role. Personally, | think both

of you would be great, which is why I called you here."

Tracy and Evelina's expressions naturally brightened with excitement at the remark.

Lance added, "However, my opinion doesn't carry as much weight. It's up to the company to decide. In fact, the

company highly values Mason's opinion. If Director Mason selects someone as the lead, both companies will

undoubtedly respect his casting judgment. "Alright, it's getting late. You should go through the script quickly; |

have to leave now."

With that, Lance stood up, dusted off his hands, and walked away.

Winnie glanced at Tracy, then instructed her assistant to gather the scripts.

Winona also had Jenny collect the scripts, and she decided to head to the lounge to review them.

"Tracy, let's go. When it comes to casting, besides us, only Violeta is on the slevel. The others aren't even in

the competition."

This remark subtly implied that Evelina didn't even qualify to compete with them.

Sure enough, Winona slammed her hand on the table when she heard this. She roared, "Winnie, don't forget that

Evie was the lead in Mason's debut film!

"Casting depends on the director's vision. What good is your popularity if the director doesn't choose you?"

So far, Mason has only directed one movie; therefore, no one can quite grasp his taste in actors yet.

Evelina being the lead in his first film suggests there's something about her that caught his eye.

Could it be her innocent appearance?

No one could say for sure.

However, Winona had a point, and she had the upper hand for the moment.

"What a joke."

Tracy scoffed coldly, and she started to scan Evelina up and down with unmasked disdain.

"The Lies in Winter won the Best Cinematography award at the Oplen Film Festival, and all the glory went to the

company merely threw you a bone, and you think they're ready to crown you? What a joke. Evelina, you've got a

long way to go!"

With that, Tracy turned and left, not giving them a chance to respond.

Winnie also gave a mocking smile before leaving the conference room.

"Who on earth did Tracy put on airs?!"

After they left, Shania fumed and said, "She's just a mistress who climbed her way up thanks to her sugar daddy,

yet she dares to act high and mighty in front of us. Without him, she's nothing!" Jenny added, "Exactly, Tracy is

so disgusting. What is she even proud of? She'll get her comeuppance soon enough!"

Winona narrowed her eyes.

When Evelina signed with Apex, she had brought her entire team with her.

Originally, Winnie was set to ride Tracy's coattails to beca superagent, but now that Evelina had brought

Winona into the company, she had beca strong competitor against that spot.

Naturally, Winnie didn't take kindly to Winona.

Additionally, the company had no

artists who could rival Tracy. Her team only needed to focus on Violeta. With Evelina's arrival, tensions were high,

as she was

constantly trying to outshine Tracy.

Winnie was anxious, and Tracy was equally unsettled.

The pros and cons in this situation were crystal clear.

QUMS

Winona said, "Enough with the tough talk; it's pointless. We need to figure out how to secure this role."

Empty threats are just that empty.

Only what you had safely secure counts.

Jenny looked at Winona and asked, "Winona, what should we do now?"

Winona was silent for a moment before speaking, "Evie, you still have Mason's number, right? Get in touch with

him immediately. It's been a while it's tto take him out for a meal or something. Don't forget, you two have a

special bond."
