Daisie snapped back, immediately said yes, and quickly walked into the elevator. When she got back to her space, someone was there.The person standing in front of the window looked foreign yet familiar until he turned around.Daisie was shocked. “Godfather?”Helios had stubbles and seemed more mature but still looked charming.He walked over to the couch and said, “I heard your dad say that you’re here. He wanted me to get you a manager, but you’ve already found Charlie.”Daisie sat down too. “He worries too much.”He poured a cup of tea and smiled. “How could he not worry? He was only alright because you were working with me, but now that you’re older and have to deal with everything alone, it won’t be as comfortable as when you’re at home.”Daisie looked down. “I’ve mentally prepared myself for that.” She couldn’t back down after taking this route.He saw the script that she was holding and narrowed his eyes. “Charlie made you audition for Benny’s new movie?”Daisie paused,
Daisie would cite her line when she was eating and practice toward the mirror inside her room once she returned home.Time passed rapidly, and it had already been over half a month. Daisie was able to train her physique much better than before. Not only was her waistline more obvious and tight, but the muscles in her arms were much firmer.At noon, she practiced her fighting skills with the combat instructor in the training room. After roughly two hours, Daisie collapsed on the sponge mat, her neck covered in sticky sweat.Someone appeared from the door, and Daisie sat up. It was James. James took off his sunglasses and said, “You’re so hardworking. I can’t believe that you’ve already started training, even if you don’t know if you’ll get the character or not.”Daisie walked to the side and picked up a towel to wipe her sweat. “Well, it’s always nice to be well-prepared.”“Let me remind you something. Many artists auditioned for this role, so you may not necessarily get it. Ev
Amy smiled and said, “Young Mr. Tell, I thought we’re working under the same company? How can you be so cold to me?”James turned his face sideways and replied in a haughty manner, “Tsk, since when did I ever say that I’m working under Tenet Media? I’m different from you.”Amy went along with him and continued. “Yeah, you’re right. We’re different. The reason you can be popular is because of Charlie. Now that you’ve gained some fame, you decided to sack him off.” “Quit lecturing me. If you want to be Charlie’s dog, then go ahead. I’m not listening to him, and I won’t be an A-lister.”James did not want to talk to her anymore, so he turned around and left after he finished speaking.Daisie looked at his back and fell deep in thought. She could understand why he didn’t like being an actor, but why would he hate it so much?“Ms. Vanderbilt, I apologize for what happened just now.” Amy looked at her and said, “James comes from a prestigious family, so he can be a bit of a loose cann
When Amy was leaving, she reminded Daisie, “Also, don’t try to take any shortcuts. Mr. Crawford hates it the most when actors or actresses get into his project through the back door. You'll have to fight for the role if you really want it.”Daisie had been learning from Amy for the next couple of days, and Amy was willing to pass on some acting experience to her as well.For Daisie, Amy was her senior. Besides, she was five years older than her, and she treated her like her own sister.Charlie was standing in front of the mirror in his office. There was a cigarette between his fingers, and when someone knocked on the door, he flicked the ashes into the ashtray and said without turning his head. “Come in.”Amy pushed the door and walked into his office. She stopped behind him and said respectfully, “You’re looking for me, Chuck?” “I heard that you’ve been helping Daisie lately, and you also passed on some of your acting experience to her as well?”Charlie turned around and looked
Daisie lowered her head. “Yeah. I’m nervous.”Amy walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Just treat it as your normal practice session. When you're in there, don't always think that you want to succeed. The higher expectations you have, the more pressure you'll feel, and having pressure will affect your performance.”Daisie looked at her.Amy was indeed a very experienced actress. Daisie had calmed down a bit after listening to what she said.She smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Ames.”Amy smiled. “We’re from the same company, and we both are working under Charlie. You don’t have to thank me.”Soon, it was Daisie’s turn for the audition. Daisie bade her goodbye and left with the staff.The audition was held in a studio the size of a basketball court. Many artists' profiles were on the table, including some of their photos. Daisie presumed that the man who seemed to be over 50 years old sitting in front of the machine was Benny.After changing
“In my opinion, the Dragon Lady is a sad character. Everyone thinks that she's evil because she's killing people. So does it mean justice when the heavens take the life of the demons?”…When Daisie came out of the building after she had finished with her audition, the roaring sound of a car engine erupted in the distance. She looked toward the source of the sound and saw a purple sports car coming in her direction. She took two steps back, and the car stopped in front of her.The window on the top opened up, and the one sitting in the driving seat was none other than James.After all, Daisie couldn't think of anyone else who would change the exterior of his sports car to this fancy bright color.James looked around and asked, “Ms. Vanderbilt, are you serious? You’re the daughter of the Goldmanns, and you don’t even have a car?”Daisie crossed her hands in front of her chest and said, “It’s none of your business.”James walked toward her, removed his sunglasses, grinned at her,
Daisie forced a smile. “Congratulations, Ames.”“You acted well too. It’s said that Benny had to choose between you and me in the end.” Amy let off a faint sigh. “Benny actually likes you very much.”Daisie lowered her head. She did not know where she had made a mistake.‘Is it because I’m really not suitable for the role?’“You don’t have to feel discouraged.” Amy raised her hand, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, “You still have a long way to go in the entertainment industry and will run across loads of opportunities ahead. After all, it’s normal in the industry to miss out on a role. It’d be a real shame if you were to lose confidence after only encountering such situations once.”Daisie took a deep breath, lifted her head, and said with a smile, “Thanks for the advice. I’ve learned so much, and I still have a lot to learn from you in the future.”At the Goldmann mansion…Daisie sat in her room, looking at the script of “The Lady of the Dragons” and some notes th
Nolalce got up in a hurry and straightened his shirt. “No matter what’s the reason, I should go and meet this senior of mine.”At the Santa Diego Hotel…In the restaurant, two people were sitting by the window.It was Nollace and Naphtali.Naphtali tasted the coffee in the cup and raised his gaze. “I don’t know much about my father's business with Mr. Matthews. After all, I’ve now established a perfume company myself, so I rarely intervene in the Lewis Group’s affairs.”Nollace smiled and rubbed his thumb against the face of his watch. “Mr. Lewis, you’re such a talented man. Haven’t you considered getting married?”Naphtali paused for a bit, put down the coffee cup, and gave off a smile. “I don’t have plans for that for the time being. Could it be that you have a lady that you’d like to introduce to me?”“What type of woman do you prefer, Mr. Naphtali?”“I’m not picky when it comes to that, as long as it’s a lady.”Nollace’s gaze was fixed on the time displayed on his watch un
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
