Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chandler’s words kept repeating themselves in her mind. “Erin, I have never truly wanted to obtain love

for myself because I thought it was worthless. But since I met you, I started to desire it. For the first

time, I really wanted it. But I need you to walk this path with me. My father looks down on your status,

so you might as well upgrade yourself completely. I will help you along the way!”

His words made Erin understand that he wanted her to become an acclaimed actress so that she could

match his status. There was a faint bitterness in her heart. She understood that someone with

Chandler’s status would definitely not marry an average and ordinary

woman.

Even if Chandler married her for love, both Quentin and the entire Frost family would oppose it and

come down hard on them. After all, they

needed someone who could bring them equal benefits.

In plain terms, exceptional bachelors like Chandler attracted countless ladies from prestigious families.

They all vied to enter the Frost family. The elders in the family would pose an insurmountable obstacle.

Someone like Erin, who was a commoner, didn’t even qualify to be

a potential candidate.

Was it enough to rely solely on her beautiful face and good figure? Of course not. Among those noble

ladies, there were plenty of highly educated and accomplished women skilled in various arts and

sciences.

Alana, who was approved by Quentin, was the best example. She was a medical doctor, fluent in six

languages, a grade–ten pianist, a gold medalist in the league parachute team, and a professional race

car driver. Any one of those accomplishments made Erin feel inferior. She even sincerely believed that

Alana was truly a better match for Chandler.

Chandler’s resume and talents further fueled Erin’s feelings of inferiority. Setting aside his other

accomplishments, his flawless record as

the president of the Frost Group proved his extraordinary excellence. The thought of the Frost Group

bearing the future and destiny of millions of employees worldwide on its shoulders ignited a strong

sense of determination in Erin’s heart! She couldn’t become a burden to

Chandler!

There was still one year left for Quentin’s term as chairman. After one year, he would completely

delegate his power. Once his power was delegated, Chandler would become the sole person to call the

shots in the Frost family.

In order to let Chandler focus on these important matters, Erin was filled with a fighting spirit. She had

lost both love and marriage before. Now that a new love had come into her life, she had to strive and

fight for It

In order to be worthy of Chandler in the future. Erin thought and pondered for a whole hour after

returning to the film crew. She held the script in her hand and developed a strong interest in the role of

the fourth female lead from reading the script.

Just as she returned to the set at 5 pm that day, she received some news. The original actress

scheduled to join the crew for filming next Tuesday got involved in a car accident abroad. It was said

that she had fractured her leg, and her unexpected Injury prevented her from participating in the film.

To avoid delaying the shooting schedule, the production team had already started urgently recruiting a

new

actress.

Erin, with no acting experience. felt the urge to become an actress for the first time!

Whenever she thought of Chandler, all her reservations and passivity vanished from her heart. She had

decided to approach Roman for

help after he finished filming and express her desire to play the role of the fourth female lead.

She must give it a shot no matter what. If Chandler believed she could become a critically–acclaimed

actress, the fourth female lead wasn’t too high of a mountain for her to overcome.

At 7 pm, Roman and Ken returned to the dressing room after having the boxed meals arranged by the

crew. When Roman saw that Erin was already in the dressing room, he made an excuse for Ken to go

back to the hotel and fetch something for him.

Roman’s makeup artist had been called to attend a meeting by the costume designer to discuss the

makeup and costume combinations

for the upcoming scenes. Now, only Erin and Roman were left in the dressing room.

After greeting Erin briefly, Roman drank some water. By then, Erin had already stood up from the sofa.

She looked at Roman with a look. that indicated she had something to say.

Roman, dressed in a black robe with golden motives, had only a white crescent moon hairpin in his

hair. There was a faint smile on his handsome and resolute face. He put down his water glass and

asked, “Is there something you need?”

Respectfully, Erin stood in front of him. She was wearing a green, lantern–sleeve chiffon blouse on her

upper body and a pair of ripped jeans cropped at the ankles. On her feet were a pair of green

sheepskin high heels, and her flawless skin glowed like the moonlight.

Holding the script in her hand nervously, she took a deep breath and said, “Roman, I would like to ask

you for a favor.”

“What favor?”

“I know my job is to be your assistant, but now I have nothing to do every day except memorize lines

from the script. So, I have a request-

can I take part in acting?”

There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, but the sheer hope in them outshone her negative

emotions. Erin’s large eyes were very

expressive. The slight upward curve at the corner of her eyes showed a natural charm that could make

people’s hearts flutter, especially

men. Just like Roman at that moment, he quickly withdrew that deep gaze that he rarely revealed to

others.

He lowered his gaze for a moment and said. “Actually, the reason I had you memorize lines was

because I hoped you could get involved in acting someday. Since the day I interviewed you, I have had

expectations for you. However, I didn’t expect you to come to me about this

so soon.”

Then, he looked up at her. “I guess your decision is related to Chandler, right?”

Erin nodded cautiously. “Yes!”

Roman made a decision right there and then. “Alright! I will help you. I will mention your name to the

director. However, because you haven’t studied acting and have no experience in it, it’s highly likely

that you won’t be able to play the leading role right from the start.”

She chuckled. “Roman, you think too highly of me! How could I play the leading role right away? I

would already be satisfied if I could play the fourth female lead!”

Roman smiled and said. “In the film industry, there have been precedents of amateurs playing the

leading role right from the start. You shouldn’t underestimate yourself. But let me make it clear upfront,

I can introduce you to the director, but whether you will be chosen would depend on your own abilities.

The most basic requirement is that you must go for an audition. Do you have an idea what kind of role

you’d like to play?”

Erin raised the film script in her hand and exclaimed with excitement. “Yes! I want to audition for the

role of the fourth female lead in the

movie ‘Fox‘!”
