Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 52

"Are you sure?"

Pearl could not believe that. In fact, no one would.

"Of course." Nick said in a lower voice again. "There was an official statement released on Zellweger Group's new product website this morning. It's even the top trending now."   

"How could it be?" Pearl took out her phone immediately. As soon as she opened her Facebook, it was filled with the news of Evelina losing her endorsement.

This drama was invested by the Zellweger group. It was normal for a company to invest before the filming began. However, this one was different, because Zellweger Group was the sole investor.   

It meant that Zellweger Group would bear all the profits and losses of the play. Thus, anything that had to do with the drama was closely related to Zellweger Group's profits. Therefore, it was not unexpected that Evelina was the ambassador for that project.  

From the perspective of income, as long as the Zellweger group saw the possible income of the play, they would fund anything necessary, including the female lead's publicity and promotional efforts. They spent lots of money on Evelina, and signing her as an ambassador would bring them the most profit. Unless her leading influence in the market deteriorated.  

The official statement was only four sentences long and had Zellweger Group's official stamp. The reason for the termination of the contract was stated as due to personal reasons.   

Nothing else. No wonder the fans and audience were talking about it.

"That's why Evelina was so angry." Pearl thought to herself.

"Dr. Yonng, did you eat breakfast? The prepared coffee. If you need, I'll fetch you a cup." Nick said from beside her.

Pearl stopped him, "I had already, thank you."

"Well." Nick spinned his eyes then said. "If you need anything, call me at any time."

Pearl frowned at she heard this.

"Dr. Yonng, if I've done anything wrong to you before, please foeget about it." Nick said.

"What?" Pearl looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing. I'm going back to work. Call me if you need anything."

Then he ran off, leaving Pearl alone, completely confused.

Ever since she came here today, all of the crew members were looking at her with strange looks. Most of them were trying to show kindness for her, which was the total opposite of their normal cold demeanor. What could have happened over a night?

Pearl had no time to think more. The director asked her to do professional guidance.  

She had read the script of today's play before she came. It was a professional operation scene. However, it was just a drama. There was no way they could make it realistic, and it would have been too gory for the audience.     

"Director, if the camera zoomed in on their hands, they would just know how to hold all the equipment properly."

"What if I need a shot where the female lead would be sewing up a patient?" The director seemed to be deep in thought.

Pearl frowned, "It's diffcult for regular people to learn proper suturing. It takes a long time to practice. Otherwise, doctors wouldn't emphasize practicing that."  

"How about you try teaching Evelina and see how much she can learn. We only need one shot, and it won't take too long. As long as it looks professional enough and it won't be nitpicked, then that will be fine."  

"I'm ok with it, but does your female lead want me to teach her?"

"I'll talk to Evelina. Don't worry, Dr. Yonng. Go and prepare yourself. I'll bring Evelina over later." The director knew what Pearl was worried about.

"Alright."
