The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 253

With a red rim around her eyes, Penelope grabbed the man’s arm tightly, “Lucian, if I did something wrong, you gotta tell me. I don’t get why you’ve been avoiding me since coming back from Pearl Island” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Penelope, what you need to do now is take care of yourself. Don’t overthink.”

“Lucian, I received a script a few days ago. Seems like it’s funded by Epic Entertainment, a subsidiary of Lindberg Corporation. It has a role of a pregnant woman, I’m thinking about auditioning”

Lucian frowned, “Audition? You want to get into the showbiz?”

“Lucian, I think I can nail this role. I’m playing a pregnant woman. I know how to take care of the baby. Besides, I graduated from a media school.”

Although Penelope rarely attended classes.

Lucian didn’t interfere too much, “It’s your call.”

Penelope rested her head on his chest, “Lucian, the baby is almost five months along. When the baby is born, we’ll be a happy family.”

Lucian’s expression was complicated, as if he didn’t look forward to this baby. He felt like something was stuck in his chest. At the moment, they had reached the place where Allison used to live. He looked at the branches of the cherry blossom tree poking out from the wall.

It wasn’t the season for cherry blossoms, so the branches were bare. The last time he came, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Penelope didn’t just suddenly want to act; she had planned it for a long time. She had a good friend in the entertainment industry. Her friend’s family had invested in several TV shows, and her friend’s career was quite successful.

Of course, Penelope was a bit jealous, who didn’t want to be in the spotlight?

Every time she saw Nanette shining under the lights, becoming the center of attention, she was filled with envy and jealousy.

Nanette came from a wealthy family, her dad a real estate tycoon, but she was doing incredibly well in the entertainment industry, even the internationally famous director, Nelson, respected her a lot. She made billions just from endorsements every year, always the first to wear new luxury fashion items.

Penelope had been planning to break into the entertainment industry for a long time. Now that she was pregnant, there was a role for a pregnant woman, and the investor knew she was Lucian’s fiancé, so they treated her with the utmost respect.

The next day, Penelope went for the audition.

Although it was an audition in name, in reality, she met the director and the production team, and they confirmed her role immediately.

A role that originally had few lines, now got countless scenes, the plot was massively changed.

On the set, Penelope had a high status, no one dared to offend her. After signing the contract, she started filming right away. Epic Entertainment, Lindberg Corporations entertainment company, sent a competent agent, Charlie, to take care of Penelope.

As Penelope was pregnant, everyone on the set was extremely careful around her, afraid of any problems.

This was her first time acting, and she had no camera sense. Although she was beautiful, she seemed empty. The director kept praising her, not daring to give any criticisms.

Penelope filmed for an entire afternoon, and after hearing praises and encouraging words, she became quite conceited.

She changed many lines at will, and the director didn’t dare to object.

In the drama, Penelope played a pregnant woman going through a divorce. In the original script, this character only had a few minutes of screen time, but now she suddenly became the second female lead, and the whole script was messed up.

The lead actress, Leila, was angry but didn’t dare to express it. She had to go back to her trailer to vent her frustration.

She threw the newly written script on the floor, “What is this? Penelope has more scenes than me tomorrow?”

“Leila, keep it down, careful Penelope and Charlie might hear you.”

Leila rolled her eyes, ‘So what? I’m the lead actress.”

“Leila, just bear with it. I heard one of the investors of this TV show is Epic Entertainment, and Penelope is Lucian’s fiancé.”
