Female Novel
Chapter 281
Eden curled his lips into a smile and yawned. Then he answered politely, "I enjoy working with Mr.
Davila. He's strict with us and responsible. We get along well."
"The female lead is a newcomer. This is her first movie, and she hasn't been introduced to the public
yet."
"I cannot expose more details about the movie yet. You won't be disappointed after seeing it in the
theater."
His words shocked all the reporters.
They couldn't believe Eden was working with a green hand.
Also, they became curious.
Eden was the most popular singer and dancer. He was the dream lover in many women's hearts.
"Could you tell us the name of the actress? Can we meet her today?"
"Mr. West, you work with a newcomer now. Why?"
The reporters couldn't help but ask more questions, being curious.
The smile was still on Eden's face. He answered, "She's a hardworking girl. You'll see her effort in the
future."
Since he was unwilling to expose more details, the reporters asked Brock, "Mr. Davila, can you tell us
who your sponsors are? Do they have anything to do with the new actress? Otherwise, why did you
choose a newcomer? It's pretty risky."
"Is the actress pretty? What's her background?"
"Mr. Davila, you started to film a movie again. Aren't you afraid you'll fail again?"
"Your reputation has been tarnished. In the past, you plagiarized Mr. Simon's work. It's really a miracle
Mr. Simon still talks to you nicely."
Finally, Roland felt delighted as his name was mentioned.
However, he responded as if he was defending Brock. "Please don't say that. Brock was my university
classmate. He's talented. He was too young back then. Humans make mistakes."
He openly implied that Brock had plagiarized him and pretended to forgive him.
It was an evident humiliation.
Brock had known the reporters would question him about this matter when Roland arrived with a group
of reporters.
He replied calmly, "Time will tell who has plagiarized."
"Do you want to meet my actress? Well, her beauty is beyond description."
"You can see her yourselves later."
Right after he finished speaking, a girl suddenly appeared in sight, attracting everyone's attention.
All people on the scene gazed at her, widening their eyes.
The girl dressed casually in only a white T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers.
She trotted in fast like a rabbit.
Others' eyes were glued to her.
When she finally stood before them, their eyes lit up, and they were stunned.
The girl was 17 or 18 with a curved figure and a lovely appearance. Her ink-black eyes were crystal
clear, making her lively and intelligent.
She looked childish but charming.
Her every expression and move showed she was easygoing.
She wasn't a girl with a perfect appearance, but she made others feel refreshed and pleasant.
Poppy stopped mid-step, looking at everyone in surprise.
She slightly blushed under their gazes, feeling shy.
Poppy swallowed hard and said to Brock, "I'm sorry, Mr. Davila. I met a traffic jam on the way. Sorry, I'm
late."
"No, you are not. We'll hold the ceremony together later," Brock answered.
Only then did the stunned reporters return to their senses. They surrounded Poppy immediately.
"Excuse me, Miss. Are you the female lead of Mr. Davila's new movie?"
This was the first time Poppy had been interviewed since she was born.
She felt flattered and didn't know how to respond.
Her cheeks turned rosy because of the excitement, reminding others of the juicy peach.
Poppy smiled joyfully. "I'm pretty honored and excited. I never thought I would become an actress, just
like winning a lottery."
The reporters were amazed by her silly smile and could tell she was overexcited.
"You are a newcomer in this business. How do you feel about it?" another reporter asked.
"I've never acted before, so I'm indeed joyful. Especially, I'm working with the famous Eden West. I'm
so damn lucky." Poppy grinned ear-to-ear.
She looked simple-minded, and the reporters didn't have the heart to give her a hard time.
When they were about to ask Poppy more questions, she added, "I didn't know how Mr. Davila decided
to let me play the role. I'm indeed lucky. I'll work hard and never let him down."
Her tone was sincere.
People could tell she wasn't flattering Brock because she wore a bright smile.
Gianna was also in the crowd. Earlier, when Brock contacted her for the female leading role, she
rejected him.
Much to her surprise, Brock hired a green hand to play the role.
Gianna sneered secretly.
Although she looked down on Poppy, she was annoyed.novelbin
She had a large fan base, so she was supposed to be the focus of the start ceremony today, and the
reporters should have interviewed her.
However, they seemed more interested in the new actress and repeatedly asked her questions.
Gianna was upset, and so was Roland.
He spent money inviting those reporters, but they seemed interested in Brock, interviewing him and his
crew instead.
Evidently, Brock always did something to surprise others.
Seeing the reporters surrounding Poppy, he looked impatient.
After checking the time, he reminded the reporters, "Our ceremony stars now. Please stop asking
questions."
Then he dragged Poppy closer and said to a staff member, "Start it."
The staff member hurriedly covered everything on the table with a specially prepared red cloth.
The table was full of food and fresh fruits.
The cameras were also covered with red cloth.
Then all the actors, actresses, directors, and other essential employees bowed and prayed before
removing the red cloth.
Then Brock announced, "Switch on the cameras!"
Under the gaze of the reporters, Roland, and his crew, the startup ceremony ended.
Everything went smoothly with Brock's crew.
