A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"So, you want to know why you didn't get chosen. Right?" Samuel gently asked, glancing at Julia.

The latter slowly nodded.

Samuel sighed and scratched his head. "The scandal was one of the reasons why you weren't chosen. However, Director Zhang was also forced to choose Leona, who's the producer's mistress. In order to keep the financial sponsorship, Director Zhang had no choice but to choose her."
