Love Contract

Chapter 322 Extra Story Unstoppable Force Of Nature (Part One)

Although Selah knew there would be many trials ahead of her, she was willing to do anything for her and Ray.

She was offered an opportunity to join the entertainment industry again under GM

Universing Studios after they entered A City.

At the time, GM Universing Studios was a newly established company in A City, and they were urgently recruiting actors and actresses. During her interviews, Selah relied heavily on her eloquence, and successfully entered the

company. She then became one of the artists who Natalie Tang was in charge of.

Although the company had established its branch in A City, the majority of its work was still in the United States. Barry had been appointed as the regional CEO of the China office, but he had to stay in the United States in the meantime. The branch was just starting to make a name for itself. It was hard for an insignificant actress like Selah to get any acting projects.

This allowed her to spend more time with Ray, but her income wasn't enough to sustain them. She had to think about Jerry's debts, Ray's operation fees...

Barry returned to China when Ray was already six years old.

"I think you've all heard the news." Natalie had gathered all the artists together to make an announcement. "The CEO of our company is coming back. He will also bring a movie back with him. Our company will be collaborating with AJ Group for the movie. The scriptwriter for this movie is Mary Lu. Are you all familiar with her work?"

Everyone except Selah nodded their heads.

Natalie sighed. She looked at Selah and said, "Mary Lu began as Mr. Gu's assistant and worked her way up to become a scriptwriter. She's the only woman who's managed to stay with him for four years. The only woman! This movie is a big deal for our company and Mr. Gu. Do you understand?"

Selah nodded meekly.

"You all have to take part in the auditions. Your fate as an actor or actress will depend on it," Natalie continued, "Mr. Gu will be back in a few weeks. Before he arrives, I highly suggest you visit the office more often and socialize with your co-workers. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a good relationship with your boss. Are we clear? If no one has any more questions, this meeting is adjourned." "Yes, everything is clear," the actors and actresses all nodded in understanding.

"I heard that your company will be working with us for a movie." Jane and Selah sat together in a cafe. It had been a while since they last saw each other, so this was a treat for both of them.

"Yes," Selah nodded. "My agent asked me to take part in the auditions."

"Will you do that?" Jane was shocked by her news. She placed her coffee back on the table and said, "Let me give you some inside information. I heard that Mr. Lan is planning on giving the female leading role to Beth An."

"Beth An? You mean the woman who's been having an affair with your CEO?" Selah sneered. The advice Jerry gave her years ago suddenly echoed in her mind. If she wanted a female leading role, would she really need to sleep with some big boss?

"That's right." Jane frowned and said, "Whenever I see her around the office, it makes me sick! What a pity! I wonder what Mary has been up to these past few years."

"Who?" Selah questioned. The name seemed familiar to her.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"She's our CEO's wife." Jane's face fell. "She suddenly disappeared four years ago without any word. Mr. Lan has changed completely after that. He was in relationships with many female stars and clients but..." "Oh?" Selah raised her brows. "I didn't expect Mr. Lan to have a backstory like this."

"That's not our concern." Jane waved her hand and continued, "Let's get back to business. I suggest you not get involved with the auditions for the leading role. You can apply for a supporting role."

"Alright." Selah agreed. "I won't expect to get a leading role anyway. Thanks for the head's up, Jane."

"Don't discourage yourself. You can get a leading role in the future, but this isn't the right time. You'll get your chance soon, Selah."

Selah smiled faintly and said, "Let's stop talking about work. When are you planning on marrying Kevin?"

"It's too soon to talk about marriage!" Jane scoffed, "Kevin's been transferred to a real estate company by our CEO. He's been so busy lately. Where can we find the time to think about our wedding? I think we'll have to wait a few months... I'm so frustrated!"

"Good things come to those who wait," Selah reassured. "Don't forget about me! I'll be your bridesmaid!" she added.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know when the time comes."

The results of the auditions finally came out. Selah was the only actress under Natalie that made the cut. She got the No. 4 supporting role. All the others went for the leading roles, so they failed.

"Selah, Mr. Gu will be in the company this afternoon. If you don't have anything else to do, you should come by and meet him," Natalie suggested.

"I'll do that, Natalie," Selah agreed. That afternoon, she wasn't able to meet Barry because she was at the hospital after being notified that there was a sudden complication with Ray.

When she looked back at it many years later, she only laughed.

During the welcome party for GM Universing Studios, Selah saw her boss for the first time. Barry Gu, her new boss, was a handsome man. He was more good-looking than the leading man in the last movie Selah was in.

At Jane's wedding, Selah almost didn't make it because she was so hungover from selling wine the night before. She bumped into Barry again.

Fate was an unstoppable force of nature.

Neon lights flashed inside the bustling nightclub on People's Road. The colorful lights shone on the faces of the dancing crowd, and all you could hear was the music blasting. The crowd inside screamed with excitement.

Barry was seated at the bar counter and roughly hung up his phone. When he saw the name "Mary" on the screen, his heart sank.

He had just seen the kissing scene with Mary and William. As he watched the scene unfold, it felt like his heart was shattering into a million pieces. He had no choice but to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Selah came from the other side of the counter. She was still selling wine in the nightclub. She was familiar with how things worked here now. "Hey handsome, would you like a glass of wine?"

"Sir, your cocktail!"

Selah weaved through the crowd with the tray in her hands. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few glasses left in her tray.

"Hey, you! Come here!"

Selah hurried in the direction of the man waving at her.

The man looked rugged and bulky, with a large scar on his face. He took two glasses of wine from her tray and asked, "How much for these?"

"That will be two hundred dollars, please," Selah smiled politely.

"Two hundred..." The man pulled out his wallet and placed the bills in front of Selah. "Two hundred and a little extra for you, sweetheart," he said in a slurred voice. "Thank you, sir." As Selah reached for the money, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Selah flinched when he touched her, and attempted to turn around and leave.

"Stop!" the man snorted then reached another hand out towards her.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! I'm only here to sell wine!" Selah screamed in horror. The man in front of her gazed at her with a lewd expression, which made Selah's skin crawl.
