Hah, does he actually believe her or is he just trying to save face?
Kind? Such a word should never be put in the same sentence as Miss Diana. Rose grumbled. She still remembered every single word Diana said to her that day.
All those heart-wrenching statements she made. Of course, if Ricardo was into it as well, he would still call her kind even after everything she did.
Seeing that murderer faking a cry and acting like the victim in front of everyone made her nauseous. Rose was disgusted. If she could, she really wanted to throw a knife at the screen. It would be better if it actually stabbed her right through the heart.
Soon enough, Diana stopped crying, faced the camera and did a shameless promotion of her next movie production.
Please don't listen to the fake news. It was all a lie to ruin my reputation. She paused before speaking again.
Croft Universe is producing a new movie right now, 'Lady in Black'. We have reached out for a contract with a rising star, Sapphire. She is going to play the female lead. Make sure to look forward to the show. Rose was a little taken aback by the announcement.
Sapphire was Rose Davis. She used a stage name to protect her identity and her children. Most of her fans also knew her as Sapphire. It also prevented her from finding out about her past.
Her celebrity persona was a bit different from her real self. Sapphire was known for her signature red lipstick and Rose never wore red in her daily life. Plus, she always had heavy contouring to change her face shape when playing.
That's why, without her signature red lips and heavy contouring, people didn't really recognize her in real life.
Rose knew that Croft Universe, an entertainment company, belonged to Ricardo Croft and his family. But she didn't think Diana would also be involved in the production.
Hah, I wonder what he would think if he knew Sapphire is me. She sneered.
Her facial expression turned cold, and she grabbed her phone to dial a number.
Hello, Sarah, it's me. I'm going to accept the deal, but I have a condition. I want the company's CEO to meet me to sign the contract. Can you get me in touch with him? She asked.
Ah, the CEO, you mean Ricardo Croft? Hm, it's going to be a little difficult since Mr. Croft is a busy man. But I will relay the message to him and get back to you. The woman replied.
Yes, that would be great. Please let him know about it. Thank you.
She placed her phone back in her purse and clenched her fist.
Just watch, Ricardo… I'm going to get back to you. Next, she made a call to Amanda Starch, her lawyer.
Hello, I'm thinking of having Ricardo Croft deal with the contract himself. Do you think it's going to work? She asked.
I have talked to your former agency already and, based on what I heard, I think it's going to work. You are Sapphire, a rising star, and you are perfect for the role.
Croft Universe already wants you. They have also made a public announcement about casting you for the role. If they change it, people will surely be disappointed. You can negotiate your terms with them and you'll definitely earn it. Amanda replied.
Okay, good to know. A huge smile was present on her face. Yes, this time, Rose would give him a huge surprise and get even.
