âIs she pretty? Or did she use her connections?â
âMaxwell, arenât you afraid your movie will end up being a box office flop?â
âYour reputation is tainted because you plagiarized Ventiâs work back then. I think Ventiâs kind enough to remain on talking terms with you.â
Frank was secretly thrilled to be cue by the paparazzi.
He hurriedly put on an act and defended Greg. âDonât say that. My friend here is a talented director. We were young back then. Making mistakes is a normal part of life.â
His so-called explanation was evidently mocking Greg for plagiarizing his work and, at the same time, indicating that he was generous for forgiving Greg.
Frank was obviously humiliating Greg in public.
Greg knew the paparazzi would ask this question since Frank was the one who brought them here.
Hence, he replied calmly, âTime will tell us who the actual plagiarist was. You want to see my female lead? Well, I canât describe her looks. Sheâs coming later, so you can see for yourself.â
As he spoke, a slender figure rushed through the crowd, attracting everyoneâs attention at once.
Their eyes were bulging in astonishment as they stared at the figure.
The girl whom everyone was looking at was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans, paired with white sneakers.
She was running nimbly like a little fluffy rabbit.
The crowd watched as she made her way to the front.
The moment she stood before them, their eyes lit up in amazement.
The young lady was around the age of eighteen, but she had a curvy figure and strikingly gorgeous features, especially her obsidian black eyes which were bright and attractive.
She seemed young and innocent, but there was an air of attractiveness about her.
Every action and expression of hers was charismatic.
Based on physical appearance alone, she wasnât the perfect beauty, but she looked like the girl-next-
door type, which was pleasing to the eyes.
Naomi Nolan stopped in her tracks as she was astounded to see the crowd.
A blush crept up her delicate cheeks when she realized she was the center of attraction.
Swallowing hard, she spoke to Greg, âSorry for arriving late, Maxwell. I got stuck in a traffic jam.â
âItâs fine. The opening ceremony will begin soon,â Greg told her calmly.
The paparazzi who were taken aback snapped back to reality and shoved their microphones in her face.
âAre you the female lead of Maxwellâs new movie?â
This was the first time Naomi had ever been interviewed in public.
She was overwhelmed by all the attention, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
Her rosy cheeks burned a crimson red from all the excitement, like juicy and delicious peaches.
The young lady grinned gleefully. âIâm really excited about this movie. Iâve never imagined Iâd get chosen for this role.â
The crowd stared dumbfoundedly at her silly demeanor.
Isnât she overly excited?
âAs a rookie. how do you feel right now?â another paparazzo asked.
âIâve never been in a movie before, so Iâm terribly ecstatic. Besides, Iâll be acting alongside heartthrob Jonathan Quickton. I feel so lucky!â Naomi grinned from ear to ear.
The paparazzi couldnât bring themselves to be harsh to her because of her honest reply.
They were about to continue bombarding her with questions when Naomi added, âI donât know why Maxwell chose me, but Iâm really honored to take on this role. Iâll definitely work hard so that I wonât disappoint him!â
She seemed so sincere with her heartfelt words and smile.
Right then, Helena Uber was in the crowd too. When Greg came to her previously, she immediately rejected his offer.
But she had not expected that Greg would give the role to a rookie.
