Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 371 - 370: Making Her Apologize—Absolutely Impossible
Iris Sterling?
Tiana Thorne turned around to see a touch of gentleness on her beautiful face, no longer the imposing, cold queen she had appeared to be earlier.
In the entertainment industry, by seniority, she ought to address her as sister.
Tiana Thorne’s cheeks displayed two faint dimples, and she smiled lightly: "Hello, Miss Sterling."
Iris Sterling also smiled softly, saying in a very friendly manner, "Miss Thorne, there’s something I’d like to ask you."
"I wouldn’t call it asking for advice, but if I can ease your worries, I’ll be sure to speak without reservation."
Iris Sterling was quite fond of her sweet, girlish aura; it reminded her so much of when she herself first stepped into the entertainment world, maintaining the initial beauty, she felt a soft spot in her heart, speaking gently: "I’d like to know, how you placed your hands on your abdomen just now."
Tiana Thorne listened, extended her fair fingers, intertwined them, tucked her thumbs in the palm, slightly lifting her fingertips, graceful and gentle.
Iris Sterling watched her movements and mimicked them.
Once learned, she placed her hands above her abdomen, gaining a sense of charm.
She laughed lightly, "Thank you, Miss Thorne."
"You’re welcome."
"I look forward to acting with you," Iris Sterling said.
Tiana Thorne saw her composure and nodded.
Later, Iris Sterling watched as Tiana Thorne got into the car.
May Sloane drove away, leaving Iris Sterling’s sight, finally unable to hold back, slammed on the brakes, eyes gleaming with excitement: "Tiana, I think this is a done deal!"
"Oh?"
"You know who Iris Sterling is, don’t you?" May Sloane exclaimed.
Tiana Thorne raised an eyebrow: "She’s a rather good person."
"Tiana, you totally hit it off!"
Tiana Thorne didn’t hide her fondness, teasingly smiled: "Instinctively, she seems nice."
May Sloane got a bit excited: "This is probably the first time I’ve heard you speak so highly of a fellow actress, and you’ve gotten Iris Sterling’s approval; Tiana, you’re definitely going to snag that second female lead role for this series!"
"Save the video."
"Got it!"
Iris Sterling.
Tiana Thorne silently repeated the name in her mind, her eyes growing profound, with a trace of mischievous elegance at her lips.
A beautiful woman can stir the heart.
Both Iris Sterling’s appearance and temperament are just the type of woman she likes the most.
Sigh, it’s a pity, a real pity, if Iris were a man, she’d probably fall for her at first glance.
"Let’s go."
"Where to now?"
Tiana Thorne raised her brows with a smile: "Take me to Mr. Boyce’s place."
May Sloane: "..."
Even though she was already overwhelmed yesterday, right now, she still felt breathless.
Living with Mr. Boyce!
If such news were to get out, it could practically crash Weibo.
...
It was three days later when she received the notification.
Everything was completely as Tiana Thorne had anticipated.
Due to Gwen Boyce’s delays, the production was stalled, and once the second female lead was confirmed, she would directly join the crew.
As usual, Tiana Thorne brought only May Sloane and Finn Pierce.
Tiana Thorne turned back, looking at Finn Pierce, who carried all sorts of bags behind her, feeling a bit of pity: "Hey, where’s the bodyguard I asked you to find?"
"Tiana, your requirements for a bodyguard are too high, I haven’t found one yet."
"Too high?" Tiana Thorne was a bit surprised.
"You want someone at least six feet tall, looks decent, the more handsome the better. And not allowed to date—your requirements... are really hard to meet. Can it be lowered a bit?"
Tiana Thorne shook her head: "No way, between you and Finn, one’s a beauty, the other’s a handsome guy; if the bodyguard isn’t a tough hottie, he’ll feel inferior seeing you. Also, we’re facing the public, naturally, we need to excel in every aspect."
"I understand that, but isn’t banning them from dating a bit too much?"
"At least for the year they’re working for me, they can’t be in a relationship. If they get distracted by romantic pursuits, they might fail at their job. Plus, I’m a public figure—I need to be 100% perfect."
May Sloane thought about it and it kind of made sense.
If, by chance, the girlfriend of the bodyguard has male friends or relatives who become interested in Tiana, then use that connection to ask for something inappropriate—it’d be troublesome.
"So continue searching?"
"Yes, keep looking until you find one," Tiana Thorne nodded, then added, "Don’t skimp on pay; if they meet the criteria, a million annually isn’t a problem."
May Sloane: "...!!!"
Whoa!
When a wealthy woman talks, even her smile proudly broadcasts those words: ’rich!’
"Alright!"
Probably this time, they’ll be able to hire the perfect bodyguard!
Once in the crew, Tiana Thorne hadn’t even seen the director yet, but was already scheduled to shoot promotional photos, urgently.
After makeup, they brought out her costume—a set of ethereal white attire.
After Chelsea Montgomery’s father passed away, she had to mourn him for three years; hence, in the drama, she’s in all white, untouched by dust.
Tiana Thorne looking at herself in the mirror recalls her attire in ’Fox Fairy’ that was patched-up coffee colors; some scenes had white but as servant garb and later water-blue robes, ultimately becoming the fox fairy in a set of orangish-red, never had she worn such noble yet splendid white.
One word: Immortal.
Tiana Thorne gazed at this reflection for quite a while, then gently smiled, wishing for the fans’ love to flood in more fiercely.
She’s eagerly longing to restore her former beauty...
It took two hours to finish the photoshoot.
In that time, she remained completely confined, surrounded only by the photographer, while even May Sloane was kept outside.
Once done, she reviewed the photos—the photographer captured her foxy eyes, portraying a melancholy look.
However, as she stepped out of the studio, not seeing May Sloane waiting for her, she only heard clamoring sounds.
Her hearing was too sensitive, just felt buzzing in her ears, head spinning.
She sensed the anger of others.
At this moment, Dalton Grant strode over, his expression very solemn.
Tiana Thorne kind of knew what was happening, but still pretended like she was clueless: "What’s going on outside?"
"The crew just released new information."
Tiana Thorne pursed her lips: "I’m playing the second female lead in ’Solitude’?"
"Yes."
So outside, there were Gwen Boyce’s fans, forcing the crew, clamoring for an explanation, demanding Tiana Thorne apologize to Gwen Boyce.
Tiana Thorne faintly frowned, and on principle, she would not back down even an inch.
Apologizing for something unrelated to her was absolutely impossible.
She flashed a cute smile: "I’ll stay inside for now, wait for everyone to calm down a bit; it should be fine then."
Dalton Grant: "It’s more complicated than that."
Tiana Thorne’s heart skipped a bit, suddenly a bad feeling spread inwardly, had something else happened?
