Revenge On My First Love
Chapter 205 An Actor Wants to Trade Sex for Career Success

Sophia said resignedly, "All right. Let's have dinner tonight together."

In the evening, when they arrived, most of the crew members had been waiting.

They all stood up to greet them as soon as they saw them come in.

Sophia didn't want to come because everyone might not have fun with her here. It was a rare opportunity for them to get together.

So, she smiled and said, "Everyone, take your seat. This is a celebration dinner, I want you all to enjoy yourselves. Don't mind us here. Just have fun."

Although she had said so, they wouldn't ignore her.

The director sat down at the same table with Sophia.

After all, she was the major sponsor. The director raised his glass and said to her, "Ms. Lawson, I'd like to thank you for all your support for the movie. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have been finished so smoothly. I'd like to propose a toast!"

Sophia raised the glass and was about to drink the wine when Bard picked up his glass and said, "Let me drink for my sister."

Sophia stopped him. "What are you doing? This is a toast for me."

Bard kept winking at her.

Sophia did not quite understand.

The director also didn't know what was going on.

It wasn't until Bard whispered something in her ear that Sophia remembered that she was having a period.

Bard didn't want her to drink during her period.

"It's okay. I won't drink much. I'd like to drink with our director for more cooperation in the future."

Although the director didn't know what they had talked about, he wore a smile. "Ms. Lawson, you are flattering me. I'd love to cooperate with you again. When I decided to make this film, I had talked to a lot of producers who all disagreed with my ides. They said the novel had been very famous, and the movie adapted might be a complete disaster if the shooting wasn't good enough."

"But you were different. You read the script and told me that I must make the movie. Moreover, during the shooting, you've given me more than enough freedom and support. So, I'd love to work with you again!"

Sophia smiled. "Now you are flattering me."

"I mean it. I think it's the movie's greatest luck that it met a supportive investor. Therefore, I have to propose the toast to you anyway." Sophia looked at Bard and Bard understood that there was no way Sophia could avoid drinking. Therefore, he put down his glass.

Sophia raised her glass and clinked it with the director's. "Let's hope we have another cooperation soon."

"I will come to you the second I have a great script, Ms. Lawson."

"That's a deal!"

The two drank up the wine.

But it was only a beginning. In the following time, Sophia was toasted by many crew members.

Her three brothers were all worried and wanted to help her out.

Chloe couldn't help teasing her, "Usually, others are worried that the actresses will be taken advantage of after drinking too much. But in our situation, we are worried about our sponsor." "Sophia is in a specific situation. I wouldn't have stopped her if she wasn't on her period," said Edwin gently.

Chloe sneered. "Don't bullshit! You think I would buy a word of it? You are even more protective of her in usual days!"

Bard pouted. "Are you jealous? If only you had four brothers."

Chloe shook her head, "Well, I'm not that lucky."

Sophia was pissed, "You are like brothers to Chloe, aren't you?"

Oh, Sophia was angry. It was no good. Bard hastily said, "Of course! We are brothers to Chloe!"

Sophia rolled her eyes. "That's more like it."

Even though she had three brothers helping her out, Sophia drank much wine.

Halfway through dinner, she wanted to go to the ladies' room. Then she left without being noticed.

After she walked out of the bathroom, someone walked up to her and said flatteringly, "Ms. Lawson, are you drunk? Let me help you."

Sophia did drink a lot, but she wasn't drunk.

Fixing her eyes at the person, she remembered that the guy played a supporting role in the movie. His name was Dereon.

He had good looks. Maybe he would become a leading actor one day and thus be famous.

She wore a polite smile. "Thank you, I'm fine."

"Ms. Lawson, I can see that it's inconvenient for you to drink today. I've ordered you a cup of hot coco. Do you want to have a drink before going back to the box?" Sophia did want to drink something warm, so she didn't refuse.

There was a booth in the lounge that was specially for drunk people to relax or for the guests here to chat and talk.

Sophia sat down at a small booth and Dereon handed her a cup of hot coco before he poured himself a cup of tea and sat opposite her.

"Ms. Lawson, I have been following updates about you. You are my idol. As a woman, you own so many companies and make it this far, that's incredible and rare!"

Sophia smiled. She had heard such flattering words millions of times and Dereon's intention was obvious.

"Thank you. I just have a great teacher helping me. It's the reason I made it here today."

"I envy you, Ms. Lawson. Every successful person has a teacher guiding the way for him. However, I'm not that lucky. I have been an actor for three years, but I haven't met mine. I am thinking if being an actor is really unsuitable for me."

Sophia knew that a lot of actresses used casting couch to become famous. Sometimes all they needed was a chance.

Dereon had good looks and muscular figure, but because the directors and producers were mostly men, he didn't get a chance.

But now, he met Sophia. This could be a turning point in his career.

Sophia drank her hot coco. "You will someday, as long as you work hard enough."

Dereon said, somewhat embarrassed, "Ms. Lawson, you have seen a lot more actors than me. I am not special in the show business. Actors like me, who have good looks and acting skills, seldom get a chance to meet someone who could help. Do you think I should stick it out?"

"It depends on yourself and how much you love acting."

Dereon's eyes lit up. "I love it very much and I always cherish every chance to act. Ms. Lawson, do you think I would be lucky enough to play a leading role and become famous?"
