Darling, Don't Get Rid of Me

"Who do you think you are, trying to negotiate with me?" Wesley looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

Back in the days Harriet would be so mad at what he said, but now she couldn't care less as she had accepted her fate. She replied frankly, "Well, technically speaking I am your lover. Don't tell me that you wouldn't recognize that, Mr. Smith? I've been with you for almost more than two years now, am I not entitled to make a small request in the very least?"

The woman's tone of voice wasn't forceful, it was instead delicate and affectionate. Because of that, Wesley was in a better mood and he said with poise, "Spit it out."

Harriet pondered about it for a bit, then she said seriously, "The thing is, I have decided on a role on my own in the last few days, I wanted to try something new. But the producer can only let me join the crew with your permission, so…"

She took out the script from her handbag as she was saying it and handed it to Wesley.

Harriet usually acted in graceful dramas of an ancient setting, but this was a horror drama. Harriet's plan was to play the female supporting role, she had the feeling that she could unleash the character's potential to its fullest. She had no intention to play the heroine as the characters were always portrayed as ditzy and filled with a baseless sense of justice. She was very fed up with the trope.

"You want the female supporting role?" Wesley raised his eyebrows at her again.

Harriet nodded firmly, "Yes, I think the supporting role suits me better than the leading role. I had no experience with this type of drama either, it will be a good challenge for me."

In the story the female supporting role was portrayed as a scheming person. She was pure and innocent on the outside and were best friends with the heroine, but in reality she was planning to stab the heroine's family in the back. Her identity in the story was also very mysterious, which enhanced the element of suspense of the plot.

"Are you sure?"

Harriet frowned, "You promised me that I get to choose my own role one day. I don't like other people making decisions for me and that I only get to act in a few selected dramas."

Wesley squinted his eyes, "It's not 'some other people', it was me."

It was exactly because of him that she wanted to make her own decisions and not be constantly under his control.

She kept that thought in her head and didn't dare to say it out loud, "Well, I'm here to ask for your permission, I hope that you can consider my request, Mr. Smith, and let me play a different role for once."
