Chapter 203
Michaela wasn’t talkative, and she wasn’t close to Celeste, so after exchanging greetings and making small talk, she didn’t say anything more.
On the other hand, Simon chatted with Liam for a while.
The Rowley family was in the internet business with top-notch technology in the country. They had a close business relationship with Quantum.
Quantum used the Rowley family’s processing system for their internal network. The two families were also close.
Celeste wasn’t interested in their conversation, so she stood idly by, wondering if she should leave if Liam continued to chat.
Just as she was hesitating, Simon suddenly turned to her and asked, “What has Sienna been up to lately?”
Celeste snapped back to reality, “Not much, just tending to the garden at home. I’m actually quite idle.”
Simon spoke softly, “I heard you studied acting in college. Didn’t you take on any roles afterward?”
Celeste was taken aback. Why was he suddenly asking about her acting?
She sneaked a glance at Liam but couldn’t read his face.
Unsure why Simon asked, she cautiously replied, “I acted in some plays during school, but I haven’t acted since I graduated.”
Simon smiled and said, “Could you do me a favor then?”
“What kind of favor?”
“My wife recently received a task from the criminal investigation squad to find an actor. I was wondering if you would be willing to help.”
Celeste was surprised. What could the criminal investigation squad need her help with?
“May I ask why you need an actor?”
“Tll explain.” Michaela said gently, “Our department has recently been collaborating with a TV channel to launch a legal program, aiming to bring some classic cases to the screen for public legal education. However, finding actors has become a problem. It’s essentially a public welfare program, so our funding is very limited. Professional actors find the pay too low and are unwilling to come. So the task of finding actors was assigned to each department.”
So that’s what it’s about…!
“I don’t have many actor friends. Simon said he’d help me find one, but I didn’t expect it to be you, Celeste.”
Simon said he would help her find an actor, which was why she agreed to attend this jewelry exhibition. In fact, when she first saw Celeste, she had a feeling, but she didn’t expect Simon to be actually talking about her.
Celeste was just too pretty, with bright features and a well-proportioned figure.
Celeste has a fit body with a cute tiny face. That’s why she looks just as good on camera as other female stars, even though she might be a few pounds heavier than those other actresses.
If she agrees to join the program, she’ll definitely make the section chief happy, but in reality, Celeste, being a rich lady, doesn’t really need the money, and she doesn’t like being in the public eye because of her status. Michaela didn’t have high hopes, so she didn’t go into details.
However, Celeste was in fact very interested in it.
Although the legal show wouldn’t make her much money, doing a public welfare program could help improve her reputation. The incident with Actress Z was a wake-up call for her, and she realized that some things need to be prepared in advance.
So, after considering it for a moment, she asked, “Could you tell me more about it?”
Michaela was a bit surprised and then explained the show to Celeste in detail.
The show is called “Mastermind of Law,” a weekly show that airs during lunchtime on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The show is in the form of legal short dramas.
The scripts were based on real cases from the national police database, all of which are classic cases in recent years. Actors would recreate each story according to the script, and then experts would explain the case and introduce relevant laws and regulations to the public. The show was also to be broadcast on various short video platforms so that it could reaching a wide audience.
