The moment David entered the door, four attendants bowed at him.
Even though she was sitting a bit far away, Tara could not hear what they said, but they looked very respectful.
Then, the lobby manager also rushed over to bow at him.
Tara sat in the lounge for more than an hour and there were about 20 or 30 batches of people going in and out of the hotel.
However, none of the attendants bowed at them.
Hence, Tara figured either David had some shocking background or was the hotel owner’s son, or maybe even a descendant of one of the shareholders.
However, this had nothing to do with her as she was just curious.
Right now, she was still waiting for the call.
About half an hour later…
Tara’s phone finally rang.
“Hello, Director Peters, where are you?
I’m already at the hotel,” Tara asked after picking up the phone.
“Miss Smith, I’m sorry for making you wait so long.
You should come to Room 15-1 now.
I’ll be waiting here,” Director Peters’ voice came from the phone.
“What’s going on, Director Peters?
Can’t we talk out here?”
“Miss Smith, you have to know what we’re about to talk about are trade secrets.
What if the investors don’t want to invest anymore if word gets out?”
“Director Peters, I think it’s better if we talk out here.
It’s the same if we get a private room.
No one will know.”
“Gosh, Miss Smith, you have to know that this is a movie with an investment pool of 100 million bucks!
The supporting role is a very important character and there are a lot of people eying this role.
I’ve spent a lot of time and energy getting it for you.
You have to seize this opportunity!
If you don’t come, I’ll contact someone else.”
“Contact someone else then.
Goodbye,” Tara said before hanging up.
What a joke.
She was not a newbie who did not know anything.
It was almost dark now, so would she still be able to come out in one piece if she went into the room?
After Tara hung up the phone, she grabbed her bag and left the hotel.
After that, she called a car and went back to campus.
Sell out her body in exchange for a supporting role?
Dream on!
On the 15th floor of Golden Leaf Hotel.
This was the presidential suite with the highest standard in the hotel.
The price of one night was 66666 dollars.
Inside the room.
Aside from Simon Peters, who was in his thirties, there was also another middle-aged man in his forties, and a woman in her twenties who was dressed as a secretary.
After Tara hung up the phone, Simon’s face turned from pale to dark with anger.
Director Peters, how could someone dare to reject you with your reputation in the movie industry?
Does she not want to be in the industry anymore?” The short and rich-looking middle-aged fat man said.
“Mr.
Gomez, that girl is still a virgin, and she doesn’t know the rules of the industry.
I think her family has money too, so that’s why she hasn’t decided to enter this industry,” Simon said.
“A virgin you say?
This is great!
I like girls like that.
Can you get her for me?
I’ll invest another 20 million.” Hector Gomez said.
“Mr.
Gomez, that might be a little difficult.
You just heard her, this girl will not be swayed,” Simon said helplessly.
“We’ll just let her be the female lead!
I want to see whether she can resist this temptation.”
“But the female lead role was already given to Marie Kent.
If we want to change this at the last minute, she’ll not be happy.”
“We haven’t signed the contract yet, so we can still change at any time we want!
So what if she’s not happy?” Hector said nonchalantly.
“I’ll try my best.”
“Not your best, you must!”
Right now, Simon was furiously cursing in his heart.
These disgusting capitalists.
Moreover, Hector was seriously asking a third-year student who was still in school and had never been in any movies before to be the female lead of a movie with a 100 million dollar investment.
He even asked an A-lister to fill the supporting role.
Damn, if word of this got out, he would be attacked by Marie’s fans.
If this girl’s skills were good, then it would still be fine because she would blow up overnight.
However, if her skills were not, then she would destroy the whole movie.
When that happened, not only would the investors be unable to get back their costs, there would be all kinds of criticism out there.
At the end of the day, Simon would be the one responsible for all this.
Even though he was cursing Hector to hell in his heart, he still had a pandering smile on his face.
He said, “Don’t worry, Mr.
Gomez.
I will definitely find a way to get it done.”
He had no choice, anyone with money in this day and age would be his master.
Even though he was pretty well-known in the industry, he was not at the stage where he could ignore these capitalists.
That was a privilege only the best directors could have.
If those kinds of directors wanted to produce a movie, they would just need to leak some information out there and all kinds of A-listers or even the best actors and actresses would swarm over.
Other than that, countless capitalists would go to their doors begging them to use their money.
This was because the investor who the director chose would subsequently make a fortune.
Not only could they make a fortune, but their company would also prosper.
This was the way of the capitalists.
As long as someone gave them profit, they would be polite to them.
Simon was also working toward this direction.
He longed to become this kind of director even in his dreams.
The next afternoon.
Patrick told David that the blind date would be hosted in the Golden Leaf Hotel and he also told David not to be late.
David sent a message to Pearl asking her to tell all of the staff to just treat him as a normal guest when he went to the hotel.
He did not want news of this to spread yet.
After the afternoon class, David went to the Golden Leaf Hotel and waited in the chairman’s office.
The other three Musketeers still needed to shower and change.
Tara came to the hotel once again.
This time, she was not here to meet any directors.
Instead, she was attending a dinner treated by her roommate Madison Johnson’s new boyfriend.
The four of them stood at the entrance of Golden Leaf Hotel while they waited for Patrick and the gang.
“Maddie, is your boyfriend really treating us to dinner here?
We were just joking yesterday.
Why don’t we go to another place?” Another roommate, Eliza Goldman, asked.
Yesterday, they heard that Madison’s new boyfriend wanted to treat them to dinner and he asked them to choose a place.
Then, they casually mentioned the Golden Leaf Hotel.
However, they did not expect him to really treat them to dinner here.
“Liz, it’s fine.
Just trust me.
How can he be my boyfriend if he can’t even afford a meal?”
“Maddie, your boyfriend seems great.
He must be from a rich family.
I’m so envious!
Can you ask him whether he has other rich friends who are still single so we can get to know them?” Another roommate Rosalie King asked.
“Even though he’s treating us to dinner tonight, he’ll also bring a few of his roommates.
Then, you can see if there’s anyone you like.
I can help set you guys up,” Madison answered.
“Are his roommates as rich as him?
Don’t tell me they are all poor.”
“I have no idea.”
“Rosie, stop dreaming about getting a rich boyfriend all the time.
It’s not bad to find one with potential too,” Tara interrupted.
“Tara, we’re not the same as you.
Your family is loaded.
If you can’t handle the real world, you can go back to your family business and inherit hundreds of millions in assets.
How can we compare to you?”
“You need to know that the best ending for people like us is finding a rich guy who loves us.
I don’t even know how much hardship I have to endure to become a star.
I might even end up with nothing.”
“Don’t be so pessimistic.”
“I’m not, but students without backgrounds like us will have to have dinner, drinks, or even sleep with someone to get a role. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
In the end, you might not even be famous after sacrificing yourself.
So, I don’t want to become a star anymore.
I just want to find a rich man and live my life peacefully.”
Tara had no way of retorting anymore because the truth of the matter was just as Rosalie had said.
If she did not have her parents’ support, she would not be better off than any of them.
Not long after they chatted, Patrick drove two of the Musketeers over.
Patrick was driving a BMW X7.
In the car…
“They’re all here.
They’re those four over there, do you see them?” Patrick said.
“Damn, not bad!
They’re obviously better than the girls on our campus.”
“Yeah, they’re from the Acting Department, and they’ll all be stars in the future.
In our class, only Ava could compete with any of those girls.”
“Especially the tallest one.
She’s not inferior to Ava!
She’s definitely on the same level as the Goddesses.”
Honk honk!
Patrick honked twice when he was in the parking spot at the entrance.
“My boyfriend is here.
Come, let’s go over.”
Madison spotted Patrick’s car and she led her roommates over to where Patrick was parking.
After Patrick and the two guys got out of the car, the two parties met up.
After some simple introduction, the second of them walked into Golden Leaf Hotel.
Then, an attendant brought them to the reserved private room.
After they sat down, Patrick called David.
The call was picked up.
“Dave, where are you?
We’re in Private Room 46.
Get here now.
You’re the only one left,” Patrick said.
“Alright, I’ll be there soon,” David said into the phone.
“I’m sorry, another one of my roommates will be here soon.
What do you want to eat?
You can order anything you want!” Patrick looked at the girls and said,
David went downstairs after he got the call.
While he was there, he called Pearl.
He told her to write off the bill of Private Room 46, and to tell them that this was an event hosted by the hotel.
Soon, David came to Private Room 46.
“I’m sorry, I had to take care of something,” David said apologetically.
After David sat down, the food was served and everyone started to eat.
Aside from Patrick and David, who had eaten here before, this was the other six people’s first time eating here.
Thus, they were praising the food here to high heaven.
They ordered some common food, unlike David, who would always eat the most premium items.
When Tara saw David, she felt that he looked a little familiar.
Then, she remembered that this was the person who the attendants bowed at when he entered the hotel.
What a coincidence.
Yesterday, she felt that she would never have any relations with this kind of person, and today, she was eating at the same table as him.
Even though she was curious about David’s identity, she did not ask because she was not close to him.
After dinner, Patrick suggested that they go singing upstairs, and everyone agreed.
As an eight-star hotel, Golden Leaf Hotel naturally had everything.
However, when Patrick was about to pay the bill, he was told that there was an event in the hotel and their table had been selected to get a free meal.
Besides this, all of the activities they enjoyed in the hotel today would be free, which thrilled them.
After all, the dinner was about ten thousand bucks, if they went to sing again, it would be about a hundred thousand bucks.
They even laughed that this did not count and they wanted Patrick to treat them again.
Of course, Patrick agreed happily
Meanwhile, David just smiled and said nothing.
Tara figured that something had to be amiss.
No event in any hotel would allow the guests to eat for free, if there were, they would be given a discount at most.
Especially a high-end hotel like this.
How could they give them a meal worth one hundred thousand for free?
Dream on!
However, this confirmed her initial suspicion.
David was definitely someone in upper management.
However, since David did not plan to tell them, she would not expose him.
