Chapter 893: Another Invitation
Summer turned her head in surprise and saw a clean-cut man standing slightly behind her.
"Miss Monroe! It really is you!"
The man looked extremely happy.
At this moment, Summer finally recognized the man.
"Director Simon Sutton?"
"Yes, yes, it’s me!" Simon Sutton pointed to the empty seat next to her and asked, "May I sit down and have a chat with you?"
Summer nodded and gestured "please," saying, "Please, have a seat."
Simon Sutton sat down beside her excitedly and then said, "I didn’t expect to see you here. Have you been busy lately?"
"...I have a little bit to do, but not particularly busy. Do you have something on your mind?"
Summer had already guessed what Simon Sutton was about to say.
Sure enough, the next second, Simon Sutton spoke up, "Actually, I’ve just finished hosting a batch of auditions today and took the staff out for BBQ. But the auditions weren’t very successful... Miss Monroe, may I ask once more if you could reconsider being the lead actress in my crew? Apart from you, I can’t think of anyone else more suitable for this role."
Although Simon Sutton’s film is a disaster movie, the leading actress is the one carrying the heaviest part of the story.
Therefore, choosing the leading actress is crucial.
According to the script, the leading actress is steadfast and indifferent but without losing care for others, a characteristic that almost completely matches Summer’s aura.
From the first glance at Summer, he already merged the script’s heroine with her.
This is also why Simon Sutton still hopes Summer can play the leading role.
Summer smiled apologetically, "I’m really sorry, but I really don’t have any intention of entering the entertainment industry. Attending the Midnight Coffee House event as an ambassador was just a coincidence."
Simon Sutton’s face was full of regret.
He handed over his business card, saying, "Then, I’ll not bother you anymore. Feel free to give me a call if you ever change your mind."
Summer did not refuse, politely taking the business card and watched Simon Sutton leave.
Turning her head, she saw Holly Holloway holding her teacup excitedly, so much so that the oolong tea spilled onto the back of her hand without her noticing.
"Holly, what’s up with you?"
Holly suddenly came back to her senses, her cheeks blushing.
She grabbed Summer’s sleeve and asked, "Did I see it wrong? Was the person talking to you Simon Sutton, the director?"
Summer nodded, "You saw right."
"Oh my gosh!" Holly was almost in tears with excitement, "I’m such a big fan of his! I’ve watched every one of his works at least a hundred times."
Summer was slightly surprised, and after inquiring further, she finally understood that Holly had relied on one of Simon Sutton’s films to get through the toughest period of her autism.
That movie told the story of an autistic girl overcoming great difficulties to become a famous singer, truly moving and inspirational.
Summer nodded and understood why Holly was so excited.
To Holly, Simon Sutton represented hope.
Holly, looking at Summer’s calm face, couldn’t understand, asking, "Sadie, why did you refuse Simon Sutton’s offer? Though he’s young, all his directed works have won big awards, producing many award-winning actors! The top three box-office movies in our country are all directed by him."
Summer hadn’t learned that much about Simon Sutton.
Hearing Holly’s words, her expression paused momentarily but soon regained confidence, calmly saying, "Because I have some more important things to do. Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore; let’s start the BBQ!"
To her, the temptation of becoming a superstar wasn’t as great as the feast of BBQ in front of her.
At the same time, Carter Sutton also arrived at the BBQ restaurant.
