She Outshines 395
After Zayn disappeared, a head popped out from the bushes diagonally opposite.
A woman screamed excitedly, “He’s so handsome! He looks better on camera, but in person, he’s even more imposing. Just looking at his back gives me the chills! My Victor has to be him! It can only be him!”
She pouted, adjusting her glasses and muttering, “Too bad. I’ve only seen him from afar and haven’t gotten a chance for a closer look. Such a shame.”
After saying that, she crawled out of the bushes, patted the grass off her body, and walked toward the villa not far away.
To get a closer look at Zayn, she reluctantly spent several thousand dollars to rent a villa across from the Donovan family villa. After waiting for days, she finally saw Zayn return.
Unfortunately, there were too many people gathered, and she could not get close. She was not fond of crowds, so she hid among the flowers to observe, but her height hindered her view, and she could not–see Zayn’s charm.
It was not until Zayn went out earlier that she could see clearly.
She muttered to herself, “One thousand female fans might be mistaken and think an average guy is handsome.
“But a million female fans will never be wrong, a handsome guy is just a handsome
guy,
and you
can’t argue
with that.
“Thank goodness I didn’t settle for just any popular star to play Victor.”
She walked while making a call. “I’ve made my decision, Mr. Stone. Zayn is the only one who can play the role of Victor. If it’s not him, I won’t sign off on this project.”
Clifford said, “I’ve told you, Zayn has said he absolutely won’t do idol dramas or play the typical domineering CEO role. And given his current status and position, we can’t afford to hire him
“There are so many handsome men and top celebrities in the industry lining up to act as Victor. Why must you choose him?
“If you do this, who knows when the filming will begin?”
The bespectacled woman did not mind. “You also hope that this drama will be as popular as ‘Lockwood’s Detective Diary‘, right?
“Believe me, if you want this to be a hit, you have to cast him as the male lead! I’ve never been wrong in my judgment–he’s the perfect Victor, no one else can compare.”
Clifford sounded like he was about to cry. “I absolutely trust your judgment. If he’s willing to take this role, I’ll agree to any terms–his pay, his choice of the female lead, whatever he wants!
“The problem is that he’s not someone you can hire with money
“Many people have offered him a high price to star in idol dramas, but he hasn’t even given them the time of day…”
“That’s all I need to hear!” The glasses–wearing woman interrupted confidently. “We’ll work together- you reach out through formal channels, and I’ll approach him privately. We won’t stop until we get him.”
“You’re going to personally approach him?” Clifford pondered for a moment. “That could work, but be prepared for failure.” “Iwon’t fail.” The glasses–wearing woman was very confident. “Be patient, and wait for my good news.”
She hung up the phone, clenched her fists, and stomped her feet. Behind her thick glasses, her eyes shone brightly. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“None of the male leads I have my eyes on can escape from inel Zayn, you’re destined to play Victor. You can’t escape!” she said determinedly.
Zayn had long noticed that someone was hiding in the bushes and peeping at him.
However, he could not sense the other party’s killing intent. He only thought that it was his fan so he did not pay it any mind.
It was rare for Zayn to have two days off at home.
Before dawn, he set off for the set to film “The Last Blood“.
However, just as he stepped out of the door, a girl rushed out and blocked his car with her arms outstretched.
Fortunately, Zayn’s driving skills were brilliant and he stepped on the brakes in time. Otherwise, an accident would have really happened.
“Miss, please be careful,” Zayn said as he opened the car window leaning out with a furrowed brow. “Whatever your reasons are, you shouldn’t be doing this. It’s dangerous for both you and others.”
“Sorry,” the girl said. She was in her 20s and was wearing a loose floral outfit. Her thick, wavy hair was tied loosely at the back, and she wore large round black glasses, giving her a scholarly and somewhat endearing look that reminded Zayn of the “nerdy” character from Alaric’s comic books.
“I’m a web novelist, Tina Tate,” the young girl said. When she saw Zayn’s lack of reaction, she quickly walked up to the car window and added, “I’m pretty famous, not any less than Lockwood.”
Zayn nodded, acknowledging her. “Are you here to find me?” he asked.
Tina adjusted her thick glasses, her eyes sparkling. “I wrote a novel called Beauty and the Boss, and we’re planning to turn it into a television drama. We’re currently casting for the male lead. The first time I saw you, I thought you were the perfect fit for the CEO character.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m too busy and there’s no room in my schedule” Zayn rolled up the window. “And I don’t do idol dramas, nor will I play a CEO character.”
Though Zayn had never said it aloud, he simply could not understand why Maria liked those idol dramas.
He had tried to watch a few in an attempt to learn, but every time, he lost interest within 30 minutes.
He felt that playing a domineering CEO would disgust him more than anything.
“Let me finish what I’m saying,” Tina said, her arm sliding through the window to stop him from closing it. “This book is extremely popular, a major hit, and I personally reviewed the script. The
production team is the best in the industry.”
Zayn paused, shaking his head. “I have no interest in this script or this role. You should try looking for someone else.”
Tina was persistent. “The pay is negotiable, you can name your price.”
Zayn replied, “No matter how high the pay is, I won’t take a role I’m not interested in.”
However, Tina was undeterred. “You can choose the female lead. Even the top trending actresses are fine.”
Zayn said, “I’m in a rush, so please move aside and stop blocking my way to work.”
Tina said, “Trust me, this character is very manly and charming. He’s also a former soldier. He’s patriotic and loves his family and his country. His love for the female lead isn’t just about physical attraction or mutual needs, it’s about something much grander…”

Zayn interrupted her once again, speaking earnestly, “You’re a whiter, and I’ve always thought writers read a lot, so they should be able to speak reasonably.
“I’m on my way to work and I’ve already turned you down. Yet you’re still standing in front of my car– don’t you think that’s inappropriate?”
Tina stared at him speechlessly.
Fine, I’ve lost this time,‘ she thought. ‘But I won’t give up just like that!
She quickly pulled out a book from her bag and stuffed it into the car. “This is my book, ‘Beauty and the Boss. Please make sure to read it when you have the time! Please believe me. You’ll definitely like this character after watching it.
“Trust me, once you read it, you’ll definitely love this character.
Zayn looked at the book with the fancy cover, shook his head, and rolled up the window.
“Zayn, you really have to read it!” Tina yelled. “I’ve already secretly written the ending. If you agree to play Victor, I’ll tell you how it ends.”
Zayn heard her, but he had no intention of reading the book.
He was a science fanatic and could not bring himself to read something like this.
Tina puffed up her cheeks, adjusted her thick glasses, and muttered, “I live right across from your house. If I don’t get you to accept this role, I’ll quit writing romance novels!”
As she walked away, she grumbled, “Expecting him to read the book on his own, fall for the male lead, and then decide to play this character is just not realistic.
“I have to understand his likes, dislikes, and his weaknesses before I can convince him.
“It’s difficult for me to meet him. After all, he’s a big star who’s constantly flying between sets.
“Since I don’t have a chance to see him, I’ll start with his family and understand what kind of person he is.”
Just then, she saw the gate of the Donovan family villa open.
A young girl in casual clothes and running shoes stepped out, looking energetic and clean–cut.
Tina adjusted her glasses, a spark of excitement in her eyes.
She had heard that Zayn had a younger sister. “This girl is coming out from the Donovan family’s villa. Could she be Zayn’s sister?‘ she thought.
‘Oh well, doesn’t matter. I’ll get close to her first and see. Maybe I might be able to dig up information on Zayn.‘
