Chapter 248: Chapter 248

Quinn Lockwood’s ’The Sunsets’ fan club expressed their support and cheered for their beloved star.

Indeed, hard work will surely pay off.

Everything was developing just as she had anticipated.

Just as she closed X, Quinn Lockwood received a schedule from Anna.

Entertainment interviews, lipstick endorsements, X Night...

All were very normal schedule arrangements, and many variety shows simultaneously invited Quinn Lockwood as a guest.

Quinn reviewed the company-arranged schedule one by one, and her expression turned serious when she came across the magazine shoot for Swimsuit Beauty.

"Anna, I’ve looked at the notice, mostly there aren’t any issues,"

"But let’s skip the Swimsuit Beauty shoot."

Upon hearing Quinn’s words, Anna’s sharp voice exploded from the other end of the phone: "Savannah, do you even know how well Swimsuit Beauty magazine sells? There are so many female celebrities begging to be on it, and they don’t even get the chance."

"How could you let such a great opportunity slip away!"

Quinn narrowed her eyes, and spoke with displeasure over the phone, "This great opportunity should go to someone else. I absolutely will not do it, that’s final. Bye!"

With a snap, she hung up on Anna, her expression icy and stern.

They want her to flaunt herself in a skimpy swimsuit in front of the camera?

There’s no way that’s happening!

Anna was so furious at being hung up on that she nearly jumped.

"What kind of attitude is that? Just a few days of fame, and her temper’s already skyrocketed."

Her chest heaved with anger, Anna lowered her eyes in thought, then picked up a folder and marched off to Director Jennings’ office.

Seeing Dylan Quinn in the director’s office, Anna’s eyes flashed, she glanced at the director inquisitively.

"We’re all one team, just say what’s on your mind." The director set aside his work and spoke.

"Director, Savannah Lowell said she’d rather terminate her contract than shoot for Swimsuit Beauty."

"But we’ve already made the arrangement with them, what do we do now?" Anna opened the folder and placed it in front of the director, expressing her dilemma.

The director briefly skimmed through the contents of the folder, then slammed it shut with a bang, angrily slapping the table as he spoke: "That Savannah Lowell is way too arrogant. To turn down a shoot from such a top-selling magazine."

"Might as well let her take my seat as director!"

"Tell her right now that if she keeps disobeying, the company won’t hesitate to pursue legal action and discuss compensation matters."

The director’s knuckles tapped rhythmically on the table, clearly fuming with anger.

In all his years managing countless talents, this was the first time he’d encountered an artist as independent and resistant to direction as Quinn Lockwood.

Anna stood opposite the desk with her head slightly lowered, a glint seeming to flash in her eyes.

She needed to harness the director’s authority to curb Quinn’s defiance, otherwise, she’d completely lose control over her in the future.

"Director Jennings, there seems to be some internal crisis within Swimsuit Beauty magazine recently. If Savannah Lowell participates in the shoot and the crisis escalates, it might affect her." Dylan Quinn said seriously from the sofa.

"I’m preparing to shoot a modern high-school teen idol drama, and am still casting for the female lead. How about considering Savannah for the role?"

Director Jennings and Anna exchanged a glance, lowered their eyes in thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said to Dylan, "It’s not out of the question, but the company still needs to review the script. Send me the details by email later."

"If there’s nothing else, that’ll be it for now. Anna, please stay."

Dylan nodded slightly to show respect for Director Jennings, and then turned to leave the office.

With clarity in his eyes and a hint of a smile, Dylan returned to prepare the script outline for Director Jennings.

Meanwhile, back in Director Jennings’ office...

"What are your thoughts on having Savannah Lowell join Dylan’s new show?" Director Jennings gestured for Anna to sit, then asked.

Anna seemed a bit excited, her lips curled slightly upwards as she eagerly responded, "I wholeheartedly support it! They’re already a rumored couple, and a lot of fans are rooting for them to be together."

"If they play a couple in this drama, the hype will definitely skyrocket." The source of thɪs content is novelFirｅ.net

Director Jennings nodded in satisfaction, listening to Anna’s analysis.

Just then, Dylan’s email arrived, and Director Jennings instructed Anna to start vying for the female lead role for Quinn Lockwood.

Dylan sat in his lounge, reviewing the tentative cast list, his brow subtly furrowing.

Would she want to participate in a drama that he had suggested without consulting her first?

Dylan took his phone out of his pocket, hesitating slightly as he pulled up Quinn’s number, but he pressed call nonetheless.

"Hey Savannah, are you free to talk right now? There’s something I want to discuss with you."

"Remember the new drama I mentioned before? Sorry, I just... suggested you for the role without your permission."

"The company has already agreed." Dylan’s voice was gentle and cautious, afraid of angering the person on the other end of the line.

At this moment, Quinn Lockwood was sitting on her sofa watching her drama, and she didn’t think there was anything needing an apology from Dylan’s words.

Rather than shooting those chaotic magazine spreads, she much preferred collaborating with Dylan.

"Ah, there’s nothing to apologize for. I’m honored to work with you." Quinn answered light-heartedly.

Dylan, at the other end, relaxed instantly from hearing this, a touch of a smile spreading in his clear eyes.

"Don’t say that, Savannah. It’s my honor to work with you."

Dylan glanced down at his wristwatch and continued, "Are you free later? I’ll take you to check out the set."

The female lead role hadn’t been decided yet; Dylan thought if he could introduce Quinn to the director, there was a good chance she’d get the part.

Plus, it was a romance drama, perhaps it might stir some new feelings in Quinn towards him.

"Sure, let’s meet downstairs at the company later." Quinn readily agreed to Dylan.

After hanging up, she tidied up briefly and left to meet Dylan.

To avoid drawing too much attention from paparazzi, Quinn donned a black fisherman’s hat and flagged down a taxi.
