Chapter 153
Quintessa stood before them; her face was a perfect canvas that needed no touch-ups to grace the cover of a magazine. With every angle being flawless, her face was a natural work of art.
Her presence was commanding, not at all like a rookie actress stepping onto the scene for the first time. There was no hint of nerves or stage fright about her.
With a poised smile and an even-tempered voice, she exuded a sense of depth and timelessness. Standing there, she owned the stage, and every male actor seemed merely a backdrop to her spotlight.
Though the reporters in the audience had always been keen on the latest buzz, they hadn’t heard of Quintessa before. Yet here she was, playing the lead in Director Gardner’s newest film, making a grand entrance with the esteemed Movie Star Quennel at her side. It was almost as if they were rolling out the red carpet just for her.
Every seasoned journalist in the room was wondering what kind of powerful connections had parachuted this woman into the limelight.
Tyrone watched Quintessa, momentarily stunned.
This was the first time he’d seen her so dressed up. He’d always known she had a captivating face, but now, watching her adorned in her finery, he realized just how casually she’d been playing it before.
Shaking himself out of his daze, Tyrone scoffed. Dressed to the nines, she really looked the part, he had to admit. But a glance at her bare arms brought a sneer to his face. He found them distasteful.
The host had concocted a couple of playful games that had the male actors fawning over Quintessa, which quickly heated up the atmosphere on set.
After the games, it was time for the Q&A.
The first few questions were directed at the male lead and the supporting actors, but then, a male reporter stood up and asked, “Excuse me, Ms. Young, there’s been a rumor that Marian was initially cast for the lead role, and she had even mentioned that she'd be in the film. Now, it’s you. Is there an issue here? Was there a role—snatching situation?”
Role-snatching was not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but bringing it up so publicly, especially at this moment, was particularly sensitive.
Having anticipated this question, Quintessa remained even more composed than the host.
With a poised smile, she answered gracefully, “Who plays the lead is a question for the director and producer. They choose whoever is best suited for the role. As a newcomer, all | know is that my agent. received a personal invitation from Director Gardner asking me to play this character. | trust his judgment.”
Her response was slick, not mentioning Marian and focusing solely on the fact that she was personally invited by the director. It was an answer that effectively dodged the question.
Director Gardner quickly nodded and added, “There have been many rumors online, but the truth is, Quinn was our first choice from the start. We never made an official announcement due to confidentiality reasons. Today, you are seeing our true and final cast.”
