Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 365 - 364: Bold Like Her, But Not as Beautiful
Cody Pace was silent, looking at Tiana Thorne’s beautiful, compelling face and slightly furrowing his brow.
How could he not know what kind of scheme she was plotting?
Since stepping into his office and uttering the words to celebrate, she had unknowingly led the subsequent negotiations, making him unconsciously follow her rhythm.
Tiana Thorne was the most distinctive woman he had seen in recent years.
She possessed not only ambition but also meticulous attention to detail, cunning, and strategy.
Women like her are common in the entertainment industry.
Other female artists may have her courage but not her beauty.
However, some may be beautiful but lack her charm.
Perhaps, in the mysterious future, Tiana Thorne is destined to be anything but ordinary, likely to rise to fame again in the entertainment circle.
After a long silence, he finally said: "There’s a film casting for the second female lead. I can pull some strings, but whether you’ll be chosen depends on your abilities."
Tiana Thorne curled her lips in a relieved smile: "Since President Pace is willing to give me a chance, I certainly won’t let you down."
Cody Pace was indeed a seasoned player; he decided to support her but wouldn’t lay out all his resources at once.
Ultimately, it was because he didn’t fully trust her.
He needed to observe her abilities over the long years of honing before deciding whether to genuinely support her.
No wonder he could sit at the position he’s in today; a meticulous mind was naturally indispensable.
"From now on, you don’t need to notify me about the calls you take. May Sloane will take full charge." Cody Pace added.
May Sloane nodded respectfully, and Tiana Thorne gently nodded: "Thank you, President Pace."
Cody Pace: "Alright, go rest first. I’ll have Assistant Wood organize the detailed information about the movie and send it to your email. Whether to give it a try is up to you."
"Okay."
Afterward, Tiana Thorne left the office with May Sloane following behind.
May Sloane couldn’t help but remark: "President Pace still holds some reservations."
Tiana Thorne raised an eyebrow: "Once I get the second female lead role, all his reservations will vanish."
"Then this second female lead must be quite challenging."
Tiana Thorne snapped her fingers, her smile utterly relaxed: "Since it’s a role President Pace values, I believe the set actors are all big-name entertainers."
May Sloane was slightly excited: "Could it be a group of seasoned veterans?"
"It might be, but it’s worth the challenge."
May Sloane suddenly felt a bit down: "Won’t you miss the chance to compete in Mr. Ford’s charity movie?"
Having asked this, she had a sudden realization, blinked, and instantly understood: "Oh, Tiana, you asked President Pace for this show’s resources to prepare for the female lead role in Mr. Ford’s movie, didn’t you?"
"Smart."
May Sloane couldn’t help but marvel: "After all, the female lead in ’The Emperor’s Mile’ is Mabel Hughes, whose status in the entertainment industry is similar to Clement Xavier’s, and she just won the Best Actress award. This alone creates pressure in competition, not to mention you haven’t shot any movies yet."
Tiana Thorne lazily curled her lips, her eyes gleaming with a hint of slyness: "If at this time, I can get a pretty good second female lead role, then I have the qualification to compete with her."
"You’re remarkably considerate!" May Sloane couldn’t help but exclaim.
Tiana Thorne’s foxy eyes glowed with a mesmerizing light, and she raised her brows with a roguish smile: "Of course, I should be the female lead in my second brother’s first movie, don’t you think?"
Tiana was right in her consideration.
After all, Julian Ford is Mr. Ford’s brother, so his movie is bound to be an international production.
Tiana has just returned; if she directly got the female lead role, it might stir rumors that would lower Julian Ford’s stature.
It seems Tiana is very considerate of her brother Julian Ford.
May Sloane clenched her fists and motivated herself: "Let’s work hard to compete with Mabel Hughes for the lead female role!"
Tiana Thorne pursed her lips with a charming smile: "Speaking of which, I really kind of miss my second brother."
They came to the office, and Tiana Thorne lazily leaned against the sofa, took out her phone, and dialed Maxim Ford’s number.
Beep—
Still the brother who answers in seconds.
Tiana Thorne sweetly called: "Brother."
"Tiana, why didn’t you tell me when you returned to Banyria?"
"I was afraid your work was too busy to disturb you." Tiana Thorne feigned honesty while lying; she was coaxed back by Zephyr.
Maxim Ford: "The project here is almost finished. When I return, I’ll take you to the Ford family, is that okay?"
He was asking for her thoughts.
Tiana Thorne also thought of Meredith Ford, with whom she had no blood relations.
There were too many things she had to investigate secretly, so she couldn’t be too high-profile.
Thinking of this, Tiana playfully smiled and blinked: "Brother, when you take me back to the Ford family, can you not mention to anyone that I’m the little sister you and Julian were separated from for years?"
"Why?"
"I want to investigate my foster mother." She concealed the matter about Meredith Ford.
Maxim Ford’s expression turned solemn: "Tiana, to be honest, after reconnecting with you, I already started investigating the matter of your abduction and your foster parents, but I haven’t found any leads yet."
"Brother, you haven’t been able to find me all these years; it only speaks to the cunning of the other party. So, I plan to hide my identity temporarily, as a protective measure. Let’s investigate together, shall we?"
Maxim Ford had considered this issue before, so he asked for her opinion; otherwise, he would have directly brought her back to meet their parents.
"Since you have concerns, let’s proceed according to your plan. But, Tiana, if you go home with me, what identity will you assume?" Maxim Ford asked the troubling question.
Tiana Thorne couldn’t help but laugh and sweetly said: "Rest assured, I won’t go back to the Ford family as your girlfriend; otherwise, if the elders learn the truth, they’ll certainly kill you."
Maxim Ford also laughed, his voice full of doting: "You seem to find it funny, but when mom and dad find out Julian and I have kept you hidden, they might actually break our legs."
Tiana Thorne laughed again and suddenly wanted to know what kind of people her biological parents were, licking her lips: "Just say I’m your confidante. Considering how you’ve kept yourself pure, I believe relatives wouldn’t guess carelessly."
Maxim Ford: "Then let’s proceed per your suggestion." As long as she’s not a girlfriend, otherwise, losing more than just legs isn’t impossible.
"Then when will you probably return?" She missed her brother a bit.
"Next week."
Tiana Thorne asked again: "And what about my second brother?"
Maxim Ford’s consistently gentle voice sounded surprised: "He’s already returned, hasn’t he contacted you?"
Tiana Thorne felt puzzled, glanced at May Sloane who was checking IP addresses, and shook her head: "My second brother hasn’t contacted me."
"He returned to Banyria with ’The Emperor’s Mile’ crew."
Tiana Thorne instinctively frowned: "Brother, is Mabel Hughes there too?"
