Spoiled by the Silver Fox

"What's left to say?"

Sullivan took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and went to talk to the director, saying he was feeling off and wanted to check into a hospital.

The director frowned. "Every time we're shooting, right when things are going smoothly, you suddenly want to leave. We paid a hefty price to have you, Sullivan. Even though you're a big shot, you can't keep doing this."

"I'm sorry. This is the last time. Something urgent came up."

"Fine, but this can't happen again!"

If it weren't for Sullivan's decade-long reputation in the entertainment industry, coupled with his humility and international fame, the director would definitely not tolerate this behavior each time.

With the lead actor gone, the crew had to call it a day.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Annoyed, the director picked up the phone and called his colleague, Mr. Finnegan, asking, "That actress you recommended to me last time, have you found her?"

Mr. Finnegan frowned. "What's wrong with you? You're shouting louder than me!"

"I'm pissed! These big-shot actors are becoming more and more arrogant. We pay them big bucks to act, and they just walk off when they feel like it! These expenses are no joke!"

"Sullivan? I thought he was professional?"

"He's professional, sure. But we've set up the scene; everyone's ready to work, and he suddenly says he's got something to do and leaves! And he's so humble about it, I can't even say anything! He's a seasoned actor, and I can't risk offending him, or he might quit... Can this film even continue?"

"Just bear with it... His status is high enough; there's nothing you can do! As for the actress, I do have someone suitable... But she might not be up for your kind of international blockbuster." "What's she like?"

"She's a good actress, a student of Ashley's, and has a good

personality... She's pretty enough to fit your character's needs. But This is an international blockbuster we're talking about. Are you sure you're not afraid she'll mess it up?

"We'll see when she auditions! You know as well as I do that Sullivan is the only focal in this film; everyone else is a foreigner. This actress has to play the local character; it's crucial!

Also, she has to have some experience in action scenes!"

"This female spy-and she's a robot-might not be easy to portray. I'm still not comfortable letting this actress take on your type of blockbuster. She might get nervous."

"You're worried about a female actress? What's gotten into you, Finnegan? Is she a relative of yours or your new girlfriend?"

"Don't be ridiculous! We get along well. We're close, and I'm planning to write a lead role for her in my next film!"

"Oh... With such high stakes, I want to see how good this actress is, making you so invested!"

"But I don't want to show you! Honestly, her current experience isn't enough for your kind of film; she needs a few more years under her belt."

"Enough with the nonsense,

Finnegan. Your holiday films are always a hit once they come out. Your standard for picking actors is even higher than mine. If you think she's suitable, then I will too! Bring her in for an audition next week! Whether she's suitable or not, I'll make the decision. Just stop bossing me around."

Mr. Finnegan: "Fine, fine, you're so great. It's like I owe you or something!"

"All your filming techniques were taught by me; if you don't owe me, then who do you owe?"

Mr. Finnegan: "Pfft! I'm self-taught! And I didn't just learn from you!"
