<h4>Chapter 148: Chapter 149: A little strangeing</h4>


    Joanna Lawrence stopped her and said with a smile, "That’s enough, Aria. Ignore them. Let’s go."


    Aria Rowlett nodded, turned around, and hooked her arm through Joanna’s, frowning as she sighed, " Women’s jealousy is really scary. Baby, I bet they all hate you so much right now. Be careful, I have a feeling they’re going to try something."


    Especially Lillian White.


    When they left, the way she stared at Joanna was kind of scary.

    In the morning, there were few sses. It was just after ten o’clock, and Joanna Lawrence’s sses were finished.


    As soon as she walked out of the ssroom, she received a phone call.


    "Ms. Joanna, this is Star Entertainment Film and Television Company. We have an uing TV series that needs a stand-in for the Female Lead 1. We think you would be suitable. Are you interested in this kind of job?"


    Joanna paused.


    After a few seconds of hesitation, she asked with confusion, "Star Entertainment Film and Television Company?"


    "Yes."


    "I don’t think I’ve submitted a personal résumé to yourpany."


    Joanna knew about Star Entertainment.


    They could be considered one of therger film and television productionpanies in the industry.


    It had been a while since Joanna had taken on any work.


    There were very few filming crews working recently, and not many people could be seen around the Film and TV Studio— many first and second-tier actors were unupied, not to mention minor roles like hers.


    Her previous jobs were mainly introduced to her by a small studio, so she found it strange to suddenly receive a call from a bigpany like Star Entertainment.


    She had never interviewed at Star Entertainment nor submitted a résumé to them. How did they know her phone number?


    Before Joanna could figure it out, the person on the other end said, "A friend introduced you to me. Ms. Joanna, have you made a decision? We pay daily, and we’re sure you’ll be satisfied with the sry."


    Hearing this, Joanna didn’t give it much thought.


    After carefully considering, she replied, "I’m sorry, but I am not familiar with stand-in work."


    The person on the other end seemed to pause for a moment before asking several secondster, "Ms. Joanna, does this mean you’re refusing?"


    Joanna Lawrence: "I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’m very suitable."


    If she hadn’t married Ashton Heath, she would definitely be short of money right now.


    Jeremy Lawrence’s surgery would cost several hundred thousand dors, which required her to work hard to earn money.


    She wouldn’t have turned down this stand-in job.


    But now...


    She had a prestige card with a credit limit of several million dors, so money was not a concern. She didn’t want to take on jobs that offered little growth in her career.


    Being a stand-in for someone was even less significant than her previous background character roles.


    At least as a background character, there were asionally a few shots that offered her some exposure.


    As a stand-in, there was no exposure at all.


    "Ms. Joanna, have you finished considering?"


    "Yes."


    After a brief silence, the person on the line said, "Well, we won’t force you in that case. This phone number is my work number. Ms. Joanna, if you ever change your mind, feel free to call me."


    Joanna Lawrence: "Alright."


    Aria Rowlett, who had walked out of the ssroom with Joanna, asked, "Baby, was that call just now from Star Entertainment?"


    "Yeah." Joanna Lawrence lowered her head and nced at the unknown number in her contact list, looking somewhat thoughtful.


    Star Entertainment’s call was somewhat strange.


    Although they said a friend had introduced her to them, Joanna still felt that something didn’t add up.
