The Cherished Wife

Winter’s agent called the producer of the film, which was invested by Royal Star Entertainment, and arranged the audition time. The agent then took Winter to the headquarters of Royal Star Entertainment. This was Winter’s first time entering the building. Although she had been quite successful in the entertainment industry, she had never managed to tap into Royal Star Entertainment’s resources before. Her agency was decent but still fell short compared to Royal Star Entertainment. When she was shunned by the media recently, the agency was planning to drop her. However, upon hearing she might land a role in a Royal Star Entertainment film, they started considering bringing her back.

Winter was displeased with this, thinking the agency was being too opportunistic.

When she arrived at Royal Star Entertainment, she could not help but marvel at Charles‘ influence. It was said this company was not even directly managed by Charles but by one of his mere assistants.

Recalling her newfound connection to Charles Hoffman, Winter strutted in with full confidence. Her agent also felt incredibly fortunate and became equally proud. “If you get this role, Winter, your future will be—”

“What do you mean if?” Winter snapped at the agent. “It’s a certainty!” The role had already been reserved for her. She was just here to go through the motions. “Do you really think my acting needs to be judged by anyone else?”

The agent finally caught on. She raised an eyebrow and then let out a chuckle. “With your acting skills, you’re bound to win awards.”

“Of course!” Winter lifted her chin, behaving like a queen.

Meanwhile, the producer informed Ronald of Winter’s arrival. Bosses usually did not make regular appearances, but Ronald was a frequent presence in Royal Star Entertainment and essential to the company’s operations.

Winter was said to be Ronald’s suggestion, but he had warned them to be cautious. Therefore, the producer decided to report her arrival to Ronald.

Ronald was reporting something to Charles when his phone rang, causing him to get slightly startled. Charles looked up at Ronald, asking, “What is it?”

“It’s Royal Star. They mentioned Winter’s audition is today. This call is likely about that.” Ronald saw Charles gesture for him to answer, so he did. “Hello?”

“Mr. Wells, the person you mentioned has arrived. So…” The producer sounded somewhat doubtful.” Should we proceed with giving her the role?”

“Yes, give it to her, but wait a moment.” Ronald turned to Charles, “Mr. Hoffman, Winter is here. What should we do?”

“Let her wait,” Charles said while standing up. Ronald hurried to follow as Charles grabbed his coat. “Mr. Hoffman, where are you going?”

“To take a look.” Charles smiled. Then, he called Noelle. “Are you busy?”

Noelle was surprised to get a call from Charles but was indeed overwhelmed at the moment.

The high–ranking executives had approached her that morning, claiming the company’s bidding

documents had been leaked and that these documents had been in her care. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Noelle was sure she had secured them properly, yet she found herself unable to explain how this situation

occurred.
