Chapter 18 I Wanted to Invite You to Act In My New TV Play
Rachel followed Clark into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they attracted many people's attention, including the
waitresses standing at the door.
"What a perfect couple! A handsome man and a beautiful woman make a perfect match!"
"Isn't that Clark Ji? Will the woman standing next to him be his future wife?"
They lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
Most people mistook her for Clark's future wife, Rachel felt embarrassed and her face flushed. Still, she
calmly walked behind Clark.
Clark looked calm as if he didn't hear what they were talking about. He brought Rachel to the box on
the top floor.
When Rachel saw the box was decorated with roses, she was shocked.
She assumed they were just having dinner. Why did it seem very grand and serious?
Clark pulled the dining chair out for her, looking like a real gentleman.
Stunned yet frightened, Rachel sat down in the chair.
After Clark sat down opposite Rachel, she asked, "Why do we come to eat here?"
"You don't like this restaurant?" Clark asked as he frowned.
Rachel shook her head and explained, "No, I didn't mean that. I just think the food price is ridiculously
high."
"This restaurant is owned by me," Clark said in a low and cold voice.
Stunned, Rachel couldn't believe it was Clark who owned this fancy restaurant.
The medium well steak and champagne were soon served and placed in front of them.
Clark cut the steak into small equal pieces and pushed the plate in front of Rachel. And he then
swapped it with her plate. He continued to cut the steak in her plate.
Touched by Clark's behavior, Rachel gave him a grateful look and said, "Thank you."
"Enjoy your meal," Clark said in indifferent voice. Then he put a slice of steak into his mouth.
After the meal, Clark took Rachel back to the villa.
As soon as they entered the door, Eva ran to Rachel with her mobile phone and said, "Miss Rachel,
something terrible happened! Watch the video online!"
Stunned, Rachel asked, "What video?"
Eva handed her mobile phone to Rachel and explained, "I also don't know what happened. I saw this
video when I was browsing the phone just now. Everyone was cursing you and saying that you are not
good enough for Bill Song!"
Rachel took the phone from Eva's hand and had a look at the screen. She did not know who uploaded
the video on the Internet. From the angle of shooting, she was standing close to Bill, and the latter was
defending her and accusing Nancy.
With a quick glance at the screen, Clark shifted his gaze and strode towards his study room.
Watching him leave silently, Rachel felt something was wrong but she couldn't tell what it was.
Eva pestered her and asked, "Miss Rachel, what's going on? Why would Bill help you? You don't seem
to know him well, do you?"
Rachel replied, shaking her head, "I don't know. Maybe he is just a warmhearted person."
After watching the video, Rachel continued to scroll down the website page and carefully browsed the
comments.
But the more she read, the more shocked she was, because almost all the comments were biased!
No one seemed to care about the truth of the matter. Everyone was attacking her; they said that she
didn't deserve to be with Bill and that how she got Bill's protection.
Eva also followed her to read the comments. She could not help but marvel, "Oh my God, Bill's fans
are too crazy and completely out of mind! They were just talking bullshit!"
Eva quickly asked, "Miss Rachel, what happened? Can you tell me please?"
Rachel told Eva what had happened briefly.
In the study, Clark was sitting in front of the computer. The video that Eva showed them was on the
screen.
He moved the mouse to look at the comments below with a slight frown.
A few minutes later, Clark picked up his phone and dialed a number, ordering, "Hire a group of online
rumormongers to explain the whole thing! Change the negative public opinion of Rachel as soon as
possible!"
Hearing what Rachel said, Eva shook her head and said, "Nancy is such a bastard! She bullied you
openly in the past, and now she did it secretly? The video must have something to do with her!"
With a faint smile, Rachel said, "Cyber violence is indeed terrible. What's more terrible is that we will
easily be destroyed by it. In fact, everything will be okay as long as we don't care about it."
Eva looked at Rachel in surprise. "Are you planning to neglect the negative public opinion? Nancy
won't stop here and she will have more tricks."
"Let's wait and see!" Rachel said in an indifferent voice.
Eva could not go to sleep because she was worried about Rachel, but the latter had no heavy burden
at all. She had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, when Rachel went downstairs, she saw that Clark was meeting guests in the living
room.
The guest was a man of the same age as Clark, but he was special. With a little ponytail on his head
and a goatee on his chin, he looked quite artistic.
When he saw Rachel who was at the corner of the stairs, his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Clark, is this the leading actress, Rachel, in the video yesterday?" the guest asked Clark with great
interest.
Casting a glance at Rachel, Clark said nothing.
The guest spoke again, "Mr. Clark, the TV play I just mentioned is really potential. Please think about
it."
Clark nodded slightly.
The guest's eyes returned to Rachel again, and suddenly a light flashed. "If we can invite this miss
Rachel to play an important role in my new play, then this play must be very popular! Miss Rachel's
temperament and appearance meet the requirements of that character very well! "
"Director Chen, you have to ask her. I cannot make a decision for her," Clark said.
After hearing their conversation, Rachel was sure that the guest was a director.
When she came to the living room, director Chen stood up and extended his hand enthusiastically to
her. "Hello, Miss Rachel. My name is Bob Chen. I'm sorry to bother you. Can I invite you to an
audition?"
"Bob, I don't have any acting experience. I think you are asking the wrong person," Rachel replied as
she furrowed her eyebrows.
Bob Chen shook his head at once. "No, I didn't find the wrong person. I saw the video about you on the
Internet yesterday, and my intuition tells me that this role is almost tailor-made for you!
You meet the role requirements very well, from every aspect. Besides, you are very photogenic. Even if
you don't take an audition, I know how good your performance is. It's definitely not bad! "
Watching Bob Chen's enthusiasm, Rachel was tempted.
She had wanted to go to the drama academy before, but her foster parents didn't agree. Otherwise,
she would be able to be an actress like Nancy now.
Every time when she saw others throwing themselves into the shooting, she envied them and wished
she had the chance too.
But the opportunity was right in front of her, and she hesitated.
Director Bob Chen's phone rang at this moment.
Bob Chen couldn't help frowning when he saw the caller's name. He smiled awkwardly at Rachel and
said, "Sorry, I have to answer this call."
After saying that, he picked up the phone right in front of Rachel, saying, "Hello, Miss Nancy."
"What? You want to have an audition?"
"I'm sorry, but I have already chosen the person to play the role you want."
"Miss Nancy, your appearance and temperament are not in line with the role, so I will not consider
using you."
"But I have to thank you. Yesterday's video let me find that your assistant, Rachel Yan, is more suitable
to play this role!"
Hearing Bob Chen's words, a chill went over Rachel's body? 'Why did he talk to Nancy like this? Did he
want Nancy to resent her more?' Rachel thought to herself.
