Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 418: Secret Clash Between Two CEOs

Typically, such a large world-building framework requires a screenwriter to be around forty years old to achieve.

But Selena Kensington accomplished it at the age of twenty.

Selena Kensington smiled and exchanged flattering remarks with Asa Carter.

"Director Carter’s attention to minute details also amazes and benefits me greatly."

Asa Carter is renowned for his meticulous attention to detail, usually conducting intricate work on very small aspects.

Discerning audiences will find themselves surprised and impressed upon noticing.

This is one of Asa Carter’s distinctive features.

As soon as a film is shot by him, nearly every detail yields unexpected effects.

His fans often jokingly refer to it as ’obsession with details.’

That’s why Roxanne Sutton hit a snag with Asa Carter.

Roxanne Sutton previously followed the route of a traffic star. Even though Sidney Dalton provided her with a lot of resources, they were basically directors who were easygoing and roles that didn’t require much acting skill.

Coupled with the operations of Radiance Entertainment, the title of Roxanne Sutton having good acting skills praised by directors emerged.

But how could Asa Carter tolerate errors in detail?

Roxanne Sutton was pointed out more than ten detail errors after merely a few minutes of acting.

The two exchanged praises for a while and then shared a smile.

Asa Carter glanced at Sloane Hawthorne, who was obediently following Selena Kensington by her side.

With a gentle expression, a smile appeared, "It’s rare for Director Kensington to find such a gifted actor like Miss Hawthorne."

Sloane Hawthorne’s appearance indeed left Asa Carter awestruck for quite a while.

Even though Immortal Path was her first acting role, her proficient expressions and movements, along with the imposing presence while acting opposite two Best Actors, left Asa Carter astonished.

He has a premonition that if Sloane Hawthorne doesn’t stray off the path, she will travel further and further along this starlit avenue, even reaching the pinnacle.

Sloane Hawthorne smiled elegantly and composedly, "Thank you, Director Carter, for your praise."

Asa Carter slightly shook his head, "There are many gifted actors, but few can carry such passion and love as you do."

Asa Carter could tell that the girl’s eyes showed longing for the shining path.

She genuinely liked and enjoyed this path.

Sloane Hawthorne will certainly achieve great success in the future.

Sloane Hawthorne couldn’t help but reveal a trace of excitement in her eyes being complimented by a big name like Asa Carter.

Which actor doesn’t hope to gain affirmation from the audiences and directors?

Selena Kensington curled her lips, "Director Carter, if you continue like this, she’s going to be embarrassed."

Upon hearing this, Asa Carter also chuckled.

The laughter was hearty, and it was evident he was in a good mood.

Because others didn’t dare to get too close, they were momentarily unsure what the few were discussing.

They only knew that it looked like they were having an enjoyable conversation.

"?????"

People around looked perplexed.

Could it be Stardust and Radiance Entertainment’s relationship isn’t as strained as it seems on the surface?

"If Miss Hawthorne’s schedule wasn’t full, I’d really like to collaborate with you once."

This was already a very clear invitation from Asa Carter. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Sloane Hawthorne instinctively glanced at Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington maintained her composure and slightly raised her eyebrows, "Director Carter, are you trying to poach my talent right in front of me?"

"Miss Hawthorne’s allegiance is clear to me, Director Kensington, you needn’t worry."

Asa Carter, of course, understood that they were essentially adversaries.

But Asa Carter was unfazed; he used to be Aethel Entertainment’s ace screenwriter, mentored by Quentin Carter.

Sidney Dalton would not be provoked by such a trivial matter.

After all, Radiance Entertainment still very much needed him.

So Asa Carter always engaged in conversation with Selena Kensington from the standpoint of a colleague.

Upon hearing Asa Carter’s words, Selena Kensington also gleaned his stance, and her smile deepened, "Director Carter, for you to appreciate Sloane, is her fortune."

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s words, Sloane Hawthorne and Asa Carter knew Selena didn’t oppose Asa Carter approaching Sloane for collaboration.

Selena Kensington was not merely not against it; rather, she was quite supportive.

Sloane Hawthorne couldn’t just act in films directed by her; letting her interact with more directors could aid in acquiring acting skills.

Each director has different expertise, different characteristics.

Selena Kensington excels at shooting grand-scale films, integrating joys and sorrows within, instead of being confined to the scenes.

While Asa Carter is skilled at meticulous detail work, something Selena Kensington cannot quite achieve.

She didn’t express her stance immediately, merely wanting Asa Carter to clarify his position.

After all, Selena Kensington wasn’t generous enough to make wedding clothes for Radiance.

Asa Carter then took his leave.

Shortly after he left, Sidney Dalton came along.

Selena Kensington saw him not far away; she tilted her head towards Sloane Hawthorne and said, "You can go find Harvey Vance for a while."

Sloane Hawthorne knew well that Sidney Dalton coming over wouldn’t bring good moves, so she nodded, "Alright."

"President Kensington, Director Kensington, long time no see."

Sidney Dalton raised the wine glass in his hand, cheerfully greeting the Kensington siblings.

A touch of joy appeared on his face.

It indeed had been a long time; Sidney Dalton mostly schemed behind the scenes, plus he had been busy solidifying his status in front of Elder Dalton and acquiring Aethel Entertainment.

He had even less time to be seen by the Kensington siblings.

Selena Kensington remained silent, leaving Hugh Kensington to spar with Sidney Dalton.

"President Dalton, congratulations."

Hugh Kensington had a faint smile on his lips, exchanging pleasantries with Sidney Dalton politely.

"Thank you, I hope Stardust Entertainment also takes a big step forward."

Sidney Dalton slightly raised his eyebrows and engaged with Hugh Kensington back and forth.

The two were secretly sparring with each other.

But on the surface, it was not evident at all.

To outsiders, the presidents of the two leading entertainment circles didn’t seem to be at odds.

Rather, their interactions seemed fairly normal.

Many people noticed the commotion over there for a moment.

Selena Kensington’s eyes showed a hint of a smile at Sidney Dalton’s words.

If Radiance can obtain the traditional big IP, it indeed moves further ahead.

Not only would it improve its image in front of consumers, but it would also make many in The Empire think Radiance was more than just an entertainment company.

They were also focused on cultural development.

This way, Radiance’s reputation would rise.

But that is, if they can get it.

Hugh Kensington, hearing the confrontational undertone in Sidney Dalton’s words, raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No need for President Dalton to worry about that, Stardust Entertainment naturally has its own path."

Sidney Dalton heard this and shrugged slightly.

"Then I wish President Kensington and Stardust Entertainment all the best."

After speaking, he cast a meaningful glance at Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington responded with a provocative smile.

Was Sidney Dalton about to reveal his crafty intentions, openly targeting Stardust Entertainment?

Unfortunately, Sidney Dalton didn’t say anything further.

He withdrew slightly, "I still have guests to entertain, please go ahead."

"Farewell."
