Chapter 91
Just as Clarence was about to send Seraphina a casual message, he saw a message from her. After a moment of silence, he replied: (Other people’s movies are off–limits, but Kemp is okay, Go ahead, or you’ll drive yourself crazy.]
Kemp’s films were all blockbusters and didn’t contain any inappropriate scenes. Since Seraphina was bored at home, finding something to do was a good idea. With Clarence’s approval, she decided to give it a try. “Okay”
The next afternoon. Seraphina arrived at Visionary Group on tim
Kemp was already waiting for her in the office. When he saw Seraphina had come as promised, he looked particularl pleased. “Sera, this movie will only be perfect with you
Seraphina smiled slightly, “Mr. Gissing, you’re exaggerating
“That’s the truth Kemp invited Seraphina to sit down and spread the script out in front of her. “Sera, this is a historical drama and of course, it will have elements of romance, which is essential in every film.
“You’ll be playing a character named Stacey. She’s technically the third female lead, so she doesn’t have a lot of screen time. but she’s a crucial character in the story. Stacey is the male lead’s childhood friend, and her entanglements with both the male and female leads are significant, making her an important role.
“Staceys beauty is ethereal, like an orchid. The first time I saw you, you radiated that kind of untainted beauty. I immediately envisioned you in costume, looking stunning and graceful, just like my ideal image of Stacey. She is the most beautiful woman in the story. Sera, and you are the only one fit for the role.”
Kemp’s words were heartfelt.
Seraphina felt a bit touched but also pressured, “Mr. Gissing, I’ll need your guidance on acting. I really know nothing about
“Don’t worry, I’ll guide you well. I’ll also arrange for a teacher to give you acting lessons for half a month. Can you make time for that?
“Yes” Seraphina nodded. After all, she had plenty of time.
“Great” Kemp called over his assistant. “Arrange Sera to have lessons right away, and bring the contract over.
“Sure.” The assistant left
Seraphina asked, “Who’re playing the male and female leads?”
“The male lead is Aiden Carter, the hottest rising star right now. The female lead is still undecided. I originally wanted Cathy to play it, but she couldn’t fit it into her schedule, which is a pity
Seraphina didn’t say anything.
The assistant returned with the contract, and after a glance, Seraphina signed it.
Kemp offered her a salary of 60 thousand dollars, which was quite a hefty sum for a newcomer who had never acted before and was only a third female lead.
When a guest arrived, Seraphina stood up. Til be leaving now.”
“Okay. I’ll walk you to the elevator.”
“No need, Mr. Gissing. You can get i

Seraphina thought. His cheerful tone is hard to refuse. After all, having a big director humbling himself to repeatedly request something from me, a newcomer, is quite an honor,
After ending the call with Kemp, Seraphina sent a WhatsApp message to Clarence: [Darling, Mr. Gissing is insisting I play a supporting role in a movie. Should 1 agree?]

“Alright then. Remember to come to the office for class tomorrow at 9 AM.” Kemp reminded her.
Seraphina nodded and left Kemp’s office, heading toward the elevator.
Just as she turned, the door of a nearby office opened. Catherine and Allen, looking glamorous, walked out. Catherine happened to see Seraphina turn around and paused for a moment. She thought. That profile… Could it be Seraphina?”
As
herine watched Seraphina walk toward the elevator, a hint of confusion arose in her eyes, She wondered, ‘What is sh
doing here? This is a film company
Remembering that Seraphina had just come out of Kemp’s office, Catherine walked over and lightly knocked on the door.
“Come in. Kemp said.
Catherine pushed the door open.
When Kemp saw her, he smiled, “Cathy.”
“Kemp. Catherine called him affectionately, as she was Clarences god–sister and used that title casually.
“Come in Kemp invited her inside. “No filming today?”
–
“I have a scene in the afternoon, but I came to handle some matters in the morning: Catherine sat down on th contract Seraphina had just signed was still on the table, and when she saw Seraphina’s signature, a slight smile appeared on the couch. The her face. “Ms. Johnson is going to act?”
Kemp nodded. “She’ll be playing the role of Stacey. Her temperament and appearance are the closest to what I envisioned. With her on board, my film will be perfect. It’s just a pity, Cathy, that your schedule is too packed. The female lead was originally meant for you, but you declined.”
“I can still play it, Catherine said with a light laugh.
Kemp was surprised. “Wasn’t your schedule too tight before?”
“I can always squeeze some time in, Catherine smiled sweetly. “How could I miss out on your new movie?”
Kemp had always wanted Catherine to play the female lead, so now that his wish was coming true, he readily agreed, “Alright, you can play the female lead, so I won’t have to look for anyone else.”
In the evening, Clarence returned to the villa. Seraphina handed him the contract, a bit excited. “Look, I got a salary of 60 thousand dollars. I’ve never made this much money at once before
“You’re excited over 60 thousand dollars?” Clarence said dismissively, but he still examined the contract closely, “I have plenty of 60 thousand dollars in my account. You can take out as much as you want.
Seraphina thought, ‘He has given me a debit card, but I haven’t spent a penny from it. He takes care of all my needs, sol really don’t have to spend money!
“That’s different.” Seraphina leaned on Clarence’s shoulder. “This is money I earned myself, and it feels rewarding”
“Using my money doesn’t give you a sense of achievement?” Clarence frowned slightly. “Do you think just any woman can use any money?”
Seraphina playfully pressed her lips against his ear. “What I earn is a reflection of my efforts.”
Clarence captured Seraphina’s hips in response, lingering for a moment before pulling back. “Now you’re also earning based on your efforts.”
Seraphina chuckled.
