Upon hearing his protest, Lindsey chuckled enchantingly. "Mr. Bradley... My dear boss, there are more than a thousand beauties downstairs who are desperate to audition for the role. Do you really have the heart to tell them that you've already decided on who's going to be your heroine?"

"This always happens in showbiz. They must know how it works, right? The series got so much investment riding on it. I can't really risk casting a heroine from those who auditioned. I need to entrust this role to someone with a proven track record. Besides, I only held that audition to discover some new talents that are worth cultivating.”

Jeremy was actually feeling exasperated, but he still forced a smile.

“Look. Think of it like the role was written for you. If I give the part to someone else, it's not gonna be the same. You're the heroine that the story needs, Lyndsey. Why can't you be more willing? You can choose whoever you want to play Richard, okay? He doesn't have to come from our company if that's what you think is best. We'll get you anyone you want."

Even before Jeremy could finish, Lyndsey had already figured out where he was going with his speech. And when he was finally done speaking, she couldn't help but beam victoriously.
