Chapter: 3443

Since she'd already cut ties with Farris, it felt right to make her stance clear to Beatrice.

Beatrice smiled, her voice carrying a note of approval. "You're a smart girl. You know what's worth chasing and what to drop. The ad contract is yours."

But Ainsley shook her head. “What I said was genuine, not just to gain something. If I didn't think I could do this role justice, I wouldn't have come here. I hope you'll judge this ad from a professional standpoint. I want to prove your decision was based on my talent, not some deal. This is your career too; if you treat every ad like a trade, the result might end up being mediocre."

Beatrice's expression darkened, her eyes narrowing as she glared at Ainsley, inwardly cursing her arrogance. But she quickly composed herself, slipping back into her professional mask. She smiled coolly at Ainsley.

"Do you take me for a fool? If your acting were as bad as Judy's, I wouldn't let you step onto my set. I'm not some lovesick fool. The director recommended you highly, and I simply paved the way. Think of it as a little test for you. Since you're so confident, let your skills do the talking. Get ready for the audition and show me what you're made of!"
