Chapter 80

Lynne patted Lindsey on the shoulder and went straight to business.

“Everyone here tonight is a top figure in the entertainment circle.

If you can get acquainted with them, your career will be nudged along nicely.

Don’t let this golden opportunity slip, okay?”

After that, Lynne helped Lindsey mingle with the guests, introducing her to several directors and producers she was familiar with.

Lindsey interacted with them with confidence and composure, showing just how professional she was.

However, the big shots that held real power in the entertainment circle were already surrounded by people.

Lynne and Lindsey couldn’t find any opportunity to get close to them.

It was no secret that these kinds of parties were just avenues for people to network.

Whether or not one could win the favor of the big shots depended on their own abilities and the latter’s moods.

After socializing for a while, Lynne led Lindsey away from the crowd.

Jerking her chin toward the crowd in front of them, she said, “Well, those were all the people I know.

The rest will be up to you.

Do you see that woman over there-the one in the splendid gown? That’s Paige Lopez, Director Lopez’s wife.

”

Lindsey’s eyes went as wide as saucers.

“You mean Vincent Lopez? The legendary director who broke the country’s box office record and hasn’t been surpassed until now?”

Lynne smiled.

“Yes.

”

“Oh, my God!” Lindsey’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Being cast in one of his projects is every actor’s dream.

But the thing is, he doesn’t give a damn about the actor’s fame and popularity.

As long as he feels that a particular actor suits a character well, then that actor is set for life.

Even the most prominent artists in our company are rarely cast in his projects.

If we can rub shoulders with him, we’ll not only double our artists’ chances at fame, but we’ll have access to better resources.

If every actor dreams of being in his films, every agent dreams of their actor being chosen for his films.

”

Lynne’s eyes were full of expectation and regret.

She had tried countless times to forge a relationship with the director Vincent Lopez, but it was futile.

“Lindsey, in the entertainment industry, if you don’t have a strong background, winning his favor is the easiest path to becoming a powerhouse of an agent.

However, it’s way easier said than done.

”

Lynne sighed helplessly.

Seeing Lindsey’s bright eyes brimming with determination, she said, “I wasn’t able to succeed, but maybe you will.

The question is: are you brave enough to try?”

Lindsey pursed her lips, with unyielding confidence in her eyes.

After giving Lynne a firm nod, she solemnly walked toward the director’s wife Paige Lopez.

Lindsey didn’t strike up a conversation with Paige right away.

Instead, she stood aside and observed Paige’s behavior from afar.

The latter showed a very elegant and mature temperament when talking with others.

However, Lindsey noticed that she would occasionally scratch her nose with her right index finger, and that she seemed to sniffle from time to time.

Her nose and cheeks were slightly red, and she deliberately refused whenever others would offer her a glass of wine.

Lindsey also noticed that she would glance at the buffet table aside occasionally, as though she was looking for something.

Finally, Lindsey came up with a plan of action.

She stopped a waiter and asked, “Excuse me, can I have a glass of honey water?”

The waiter nodded.

“Okay, please wait a moment.

”

Then Lindsey took out her phone from her bag and ordered something online.

Ten minutes later, her package was delivered and she walked toward Paige confidently, a glass of honey water in tow.

Paige was just excusing herself from the other guests politely when Lindsey suddenly offered her the glass of honey water.

“Mrs.

Lopez, would you Like some honey water? It’ll help sober you up.

”
