Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 505

Chapter 505 Merely His Playmate, Not His Lover

Adrien did not get angry at Sharon's reaction. He merely smiled coolly, "The topic about you and Ms. Becker has been all the rage. If the two of you could work on this drama together, it'll be widely discussed, and its popularity will be off the charts."

"But why's she the female lead while I'm the second female lead? I'm an international superstar, so I'm at a level much higher than her. What were you all thinking when you made such arrangements?" Sharon had probably never played as a second female lead before.

'The second female lead is something people like Ariella long for, but Sharon is acting as if it's a form of humiliation,' thought Kisa.

Mr. Park and Mr. Webb looked a little unhappy.

However, Adrien kept his calm and gentle smile. He stared at Sharon, "It's because you're fit to be the second female lead."

"I won't do it if I'm the second female lead. I won't do it at all."

Sharon said arrogantly. Then, she turned to Gilbert with a wronged expression.

Meanwhile, Gilbert leaned on the chair and smiled slightly. He did not speak.

After seeing Sharon's attitude, Mr. Webb instantly snorted contemptuously, "Mr. Tanner was the one who wanted to give you this opportunity. Did you really think that we wanted to cast you? If you don't want it, so be it. Nobody cares."

"That's right. Do you see how awful your reputation is? Yet you're acting so proud!"

"You!" Sharon snarled.

She shook Gilbert's arm, "Gilbert, they're asking me to play as the second female lead. But I'm an international superstar! The viewers would laugh at me if I became Kisa's supporting actor. Besides, this would also affect GK Pictures's reputation. Gilbert? Say something."

Finally, Gilbert slowly sat up straight,

He turned to Sharon, "You must still be in denial. Right now, you have a terrible reputation and are not popular. Do you really think you're still the international superstar you used to be?"

Sharon paled, "Gilbert, you... What do you mean?"

"If Mr. Tanner hadn't asked for you specifically, I wouldn't have brought you here in the first place."

Gilbert's words were like a big slap in Sharon's face; he did not sugar-coat his words for her.

Meanwhile, Mr. Park and the rest smiled at her disdainfully.

Gilbert responded coolly, "Since Mr. Tanner has given you this opportunity, it shows that he sees potential in you. If you think you're too good for it, I can get someone else to be the drama's second female lead instead. As for you, it's not possible for you to be popular again in your current lifetime. GK Pictures won't be wasting any more resources on you."

"Hahaha... I heard that Ms. Case and Mr. Kooper were childhood playmates. It seems like you're not one who's foolish enough to get hung up on nostalgia."

"Stop talking nonsense. If Mr. Kooper was always hung up on nostalgia, would GK Pictures be this great and successful?"

"You're right, you're right. Moreover, Ms. Becker here is also merely his playmate, not his lover,"

Mr. Park and everyone else joked with a smile.

Sharon's face turned red with rage.

She had never imagined Gilbert would embarrass her in front of everyone here.

She could genuinely feel that Gilbert had completely changed after he had gotten injured this time.

He was now even more cruel and heartless.

"Ms. Case, even Mr. Kooper has spoken. So what do you think? Will you accept the role of the second female lead or not?"

Mr. Gates peered at Sharon with a calm and collected expression.

Sharon tightened her fists by her sides as her face reddened to a crimson shade.

Mr. Webb let out a silent laugh, "Ms. Case must've gotten used to being an international superstar, so the second female lead role is not good enough for her. Mr. Tanner, why don't we get someone else to be the second female lead?"

Adrien took a sip of wine and turned to Sharon sharply,

"Think it through; you only have one chance!"

Sharon gritted her teeth. She felt defiant, yet she did not dare to flat-out reject the offer.

Meanwhile, Kisa remained silent as she watched drama happen in front of her.

Since she had not eaten much today, the few glasses of wine that she took were making her stomach hurt.

She quietly ate some of the food while everyone was focused on Sharon.

'After I have some food, I won't feel that awful when I drink later,' thought Kisa.

When Mr. Webb noticed Kisa eating, he hurriedly smiled and asked, "Are you hungry, Ms.Becker?"
