Chapter 77 No Apologies Accepted
In the dressing room, Freya took out her makeup remover and carefully wiped off the makeup on her face.
Although the cosmetics were safe for pregnant women, she preferred to have no makeup on.
Aya was next to her, fiercely wiping her face with makeup remover wipes.
Freya turned her head to see Aya pulling off her fake eyelashes and aggressively rubbing her eyes wipes. “You shouldn’t remove your makeup like that.”

“It’s fine. I’ll just rub harder and do it a few more times until it all comes off,” Aya replied nonchalantly. Then, she thought of what happened earlier with Danna.
“I know I’m a new actress, but even if they offered me 5 million. I wouldn’t do this kind of show again!”
Aya was so angry that she sneered. “Danna is so gross. She’s so scheming yet pretends to be innocent. She’s really made for the entertainment industry!”
This comment was obviously sarcastic.
Freya laughed. She had seen some of the clips of Moonlit Journey that Ben had sent her.
Aya’s acting was great, especially in portraying the strong and independent female lead.
She thought of how Aya spoke up for her several times during the recording earlier. She didn’t expect Aya. to speak so candidly.
Freya asked, “Which company are you signed with now?”
Aya replied with the name of the company. It wasn’t a big company but an actor’s own studio.
The actor didn’t have many resources, so he could only sign with newly graduated actors.
Freya thought for a moment and said, “Do you want to sign with Summerzone Entertainment?”
Summerzone Entertainment was a media company under the Kaufmann Group. It was one of the top companies in the industry, but they didn’t sign a large number of actors. The threshold for signing with Summerzone Entertainment was very high.
Aya’s eyes widened, and she turned to Freya. “Me?”
Freya smiled. “Yes, Moonlit Journey is invested in by the Kaufmann Group. I’m in charge of the coordination now, so I’m also in charge of Summerzone Entertainment.”
Aya fell silent.
This was a huge opportunity, and she felt a little dizzy at the thought of it.
She felt a lack of confidence. Freya, do you want to sign me because I spoke up for you today?”
Freya raised her eyebrows. “The Kaufmann Group is in the business of making money, and I’m a businesswoman. If I wanted to thank you for speaking up for me, I’d just give you money directly. I want to sign you because I saw your potential from your acting in Moonlit Journey.”
Freya had weighed the pros and cons and already had the idea of signing Aya to Summerzone Entertainment after watching the early production of Moonlit Journey.
She simply hoped that Summerzone Entertainment could be a positive influence in the entertainment industry and maintain a good atmosphere, so she wanted to wait until the filming of Moonlit Journey
was over before asking Ryan about Aya’s personality.
Now, she didn’t need to ask Ryan anymore.
Aya furrowed her brow. She thought about it while half of her makeup was still on her face. “I’ll think about it.”
Freya smiled. “Okay, take your time and call me whenever you’re ready.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She handed Aya her business card. It was black with platinum edges.
There was no job title, only Freya’s name, followed by a mobile phone number.
Aya smiled. “A minimalistic business card.”
As they spoke, there was a knock on the door.
Freya thought it might be Matthew, so she called out for the person to come in.
The door opened, and the director walked in followed by the host from earlier and several members of the production team.
Freya’s eyebrows twitched, and Aya turned her head back to continue removing her makeup.
The director walked up to Freya and gave her a complicated look before bowing and apologizing. “Miss Kaufmann, I’m really sorry for not informing you about Danna beforehand.”
The host followed suit.
Freya glanced at Matthew, who was leaning against the door frame behind the group of people and smiling at her.
She sighed and swept her gaze over them. “You don’t need to apologize to me.
Apologies were only necessary for unintentional mistakes. But the director and host knew about her grudge against Danna beforehand.
As for the questions about Radley, it was all just for her to get more views.
She couldn’t accept this kind of after-the-fact apology.
Embarrassment was written all over the director’s face, He was a well-known director in the industry and had planned many popular shows with high viewership.
Even those veteran-level celebrities rarely showed such a lack of respect toward him.
Matthew walked into the room. “Frey, don’t be angry. I’ll take you out to eat something delicious.”
Freya glared at him. He called her “Kittie” one moment and “Frey” the next. She and he weren’t that close.
After that, the director and host left awkwardly, and Freya was done removing her makeup.
Aya didn’t know about Freya’s relationship with Matthew so she stared curiously at Freya. “Freya, I’m leaving now. Goodbye!”
Freya waved her hand and smiled. “Goodbye.”
Matthew glanced at Aya’s back. “Do you like her?”
“Yes. She’s a nice person, Freya replied.
They chatted and walked outside.
In the director’s office, the director sat there with a dark face.
As someone with a keen eye, Danna walked up to him and said, “Director Patel, don’t be angry. After all, Freya is the daughter of the Kaufmanns, and it’s normal for her to have a princess-like attitude.”
“If it weren’t for the Hoods, I wouldn’t have bothered with her!” The director was very angry.
He had personally apologized, but Freya didn’t accept it. Wasn’t that just slapping him in the face?
Danna’s eyes shifted slightly. “Hmm, you’re right. If everyone knew that a famous director like you was apologizing to her, and she still acted that way…”
The director looked at Danna.
She smiled innocently. “And with Matthew standing up for her like that, people who don’t know might think he’s her new boyfriend.”
The director’s expression changed slightly. Then, he shook his head. The Hood Group is the biggest. investor in the show now.”
Danna touched her cup as her eyes flickered. “Director Patel, the Hood Group isn’t the best backer.”
Her words had a hidden meaning.
The director looked at Danna and immediately thought of the man backing her.
Radley, of the Monaghan Group!
After leaving the broadcasting building, Matthew drove his car to a restaurant.
Freya held her forehead. “Matthew, just take me West Geft.”
He raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been recording the show for a long time. Let’s eat something before you go back to work.”
Freya frowned and looked at him through the rearview mirror. “Matthew, I appreciate the help you’ve given me before, and I’m grateful to you.”
He nodded and asked, “So?”
“I know you and my brother have a good relationship. You’ve been good friends with him for more than ten years, so I’m willing to treat you as a friend too. But please don’t have any other ulterior motives Lowards me,” Freya said calmly.
Matthew’s eyes flickered, and he smiled while driving. “Kittie, how do you know whether I’m genuinely pursuing you?”
“I already rejected you. I can tolerate it once or twice, but if you keep this up, it’s harassment. If you can put aside your desire for conquest and curiosity toward me, I don’t mind being friends with you. Even if it’s just for the sake of my brother.”
After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, “Okay, I understand.”
However, he didn’t say whether he agreed or disagreed.
