Chapter 503
Spoiled by the President
Mace was still sad because Lucy had been too straightforward.
However, he could not do anything. She had made it clear from the beginning, right?
Mace was heartbroken, but still, he managed to change to another topic.
âHow did you catch a cold?â
It was just the concern of a friend. She would not refuse it.
Mace was consoling her.
Lucy frowned. She did not want to tell Mace the full story.
After all, it involved Joel and also her.
She did not want to reveal the matter so easily.
Mace moved on to the next topic after seeing Lucy having a hard time. âItâs okay. Just pay more attention to it. So, whatâs next on your schedule?â
Lucy glanced at Mace. âYou should ask Sister Susan this question.â
Susan responded after her name was called.
She coughed and thought about it. She then replied, âAfter she recovers from her illness, I plan to let her continue her previous work first, and then Iâll let her take two more roles. Thanks to your care, Lucy had gotten a few good projects.â
Mace felt a little awkward with Susanâs politeness.
He was somewhat helpless, but could not say anything.
Lucy had always separated her personal matters from work. As her manager and also good friend, Susan must not get her into trouble. Hence, there was nothing to say about the matter.
It was just...
Mace felt uneasy looking at the indifferent Lucy.
However, he did not show it.
He looked at Lucy calmly and asked gently, âWhich drama is it? Who is the director?â
Susan flipped through the records in her phone and said, âItâs âThe Path of No Returnâ by Director Fernandez.â
âDirector Fernandez? And this IP?.â
Mace frowned and his mood was somewhat awkward.
âWhatâs the matter?â Susan immediately asked since she noticed something was not right.
Mace shook his head and said, âActually, thereâs nothing wrong with this IP. This IP is quite hot on the internet and the content is also about the heroine conquering a dynasty that is in turmoil in her home country. Itâs a test for Lucyâs acting skills and could transform her career.â
Lucy and Susan looked at each other and they both nodded.
Mace was right.
Before this, Lucy had been acting in modern dramas and romance dramas. Although she did win the award for the best actress before, she felt that she was not worthy of it.
It was not that Lucyâs performance was bad.
Bad dramas with awful scripts were rampant that year and Lucy had just debuted. So, even if she did it seriously, she would not have done anything great.
After that, although Lucyâs acting skills had improved, she still did not stand out since many veteran actors had made their comebacks.
That was why she was still not very well-rated on the internet although she had very few scandals and her acting skills were relatively good.
This IP, âThe Path of No Returnâ, was undoubtedly a great way to prove herself due to the complexity of its characters and the depth of its storyline.
This IP was good enough for her to make an impact.
Its popularity was quite high on the internet.
Not only that it was frequently discussed among the netizens, but more importantly, it was a sequel to another hot IP.
That hot IP was released a year ago, and once it was broadcasted, it set off a great wave.
With the basis of the audience of the previous show, Susan was confident that Lucy would be able to break through her recent impasse as long as she did not perform horribly.
Just then, Mace felt that this opportunity was not very good.
Both Lucy and Susan found it hard to understand.
Mace sighed and explained. âYou both entered the entertainment industry a little late and still donât know much about it. Director Fernandez is a distant relative of Jada. Sheâs very close to him.â
Lucy immediately understood Maceâs words.
So, it was related to Jada...
She lowered her head, frowned, and began to think about it.
Jada must hate her after that incident.
If Jada knew that she would be filming with her distant relative, she would surely talk badly about her in front of Director Fernandez.
She needed a chance to prove herself. It was just Jada. If she was really capable, she would not have to fear Jada.
Good wine needed no bush. Given her current reputation and status, Lucy still did not believe that anyone would dare to make things difficult for her.
If there was such a day, then it was her fault, she was not good enough.
Lucy raised her head and looked at Mace. âItâs okay. Iâm not afraid of Director Fernandez making life very difficult for me. Itâs not a big deal. If it got to me, then Iâm not professional enough.â
Mace knew that Lucy was determined to take the role after listening to her words.
He sighed and nodded. âIf you want to take this role, just go for it. Just be careful, Director Fernandez will surely be on Jadaâs side. He may embarrass you a lot on this matter. You have to be mentally prepared.â
Lucy shook her head and smiled. âItâs okay, they donât know me. You know me, right? I will not let such a small problem get in my way.â
Mace smiled and said, âYeah, I know youâre great.â He tucked the quilt for Lucy after he finished speaking. He then got up and prepared to leave.
âThen Iâll go first, take care.â

She looked at Susan after Mace left the room. âTell the boss that I will get back to work in three days. Stop getting new projects for me after I finish my current work. Get the script of this IP for me, I would like to figure out the role and rehearse it.â
Susan nodded. âOkay.â
At the same time, Jada was meeting up with Levi.
Levi was the director of âThe Path of No Returnâ and Jadaâs uncle.
Jada was ten years younger than Levi. However, they were quite close to each other. He would even tease her sometimes. She was not like his niece, but rather his sister.
The intimacy of the two was evident.
To be honest, Levi was surprised when Jada approached him.
Ever since she and Joel were together, she had been indifferent to him, which made him very disappointed.
But Levi also knew that Jada did not deliberately ignore him. She was just spending all her time on Joel.
