Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second
Chapter 318: Amelia and Claire Are No Match
Olivia raised her brow slightly. The upward curve, paired with her faint, knowing smile, made Lucas blush immediately.
Oh my gosh. Sheโs stunning! I wonder if sheโs single. Iโll ask Olivia about her later, Lucas thought to himself.
โLet me introduce myself,โ Olivia said calmly. โMy name is Olivia. Iโm the only owner of this company.โ
Lucas blinked in confusion. โYouโre the owner? But my classmate said sheโs the one whoโโ Lucasโs words stopped mid-sentence as realization dawned on him. His eyes widened to their limit.
Lucas wasnโt the only one shocked. Benjamin and Mia also stared at Olivia in disbelief.
โOliโฆ Olivia? Olivia?โ Lucas stammered.
โThatโs right. Itโs me,โ Olivia said, blinking nonchalantly.
Lucas, Benjamin, and Mia were left speechless, utterly floored by this revelation. They had never seen Olivia without her glasses before and were now completely stunned.
Lucas flopped into a chair, rubbing his forehead dramatically. The world has officially gone crazy!
Mia, meanwhile, was piecing things together. She thought back to how Olivia had stopped attending school, which seemed to coincide with the time the role of Penelope was recast in A Little Spark of Joy. Waitโฆ the person who cracked open a durian on that livestreamโฆ that was my classmate Olivia?
Mia felt her mind spinning. She thought of all the posts on the school forum that had ridiculed Oliviaโs appearance. She wanted to snap a photo of Oliviaโs flawless face right now and plaster it across the forum to prove those jerks wrong.
Ugly? If this is considered ugly, then I must not even be human!
Oliviaโs real appearance left the three St. Rona Academy students absolutely speechless.
Mia thought, there was so much debate at school about whether Amelia or Claire was the real school beauty. If people saw Olivia like thisโฆ School beauty? Please. Amelia and Claire combined wouldnโt even come close to Olivia!
Zayn glanced at the three students, who were still in shock. โOlivia, soโฆ when can we start on the actual work?โ
โDonโt mind them. Letโs start now,โ Olivia replied.
Zayn nodded and went over the script with everyone before passing the meeting over to Olivia.
โSince weโre all here today, letโs take the opportunity to shoot the character portraits,โ Olivia said.
Zayn was caught off guard. Wait a second. When did this get added to the plan?
โToday? Are we even ready for that?โ Zayn asked, his concern evident.
Three days ago, Olivia hadnโt even finalized the costumes for the main cast. Now she was planning toโฆ

Entertainment.
โIโve prepared everything. Donโt worry,โ Olivia said with a confident smile as she signaled Jared.
Jared promptly led Louis and the others to separate rooms to change into their costumes.
But Zayn couldnโt stop worrying. Oliviaโs decision to compete directly with Starlit Entertainment seemed risky. Even if their actors looked incredible, the quality gap in costumes was still significant and not easily overcome.
Three days wasnโt enough time to create costumes that could rival those made with millions of dollars for Tears of Rivers.
Butโฆ
Just as Zaynโs concerns mounted, Olivia walked out of the dressing room. She was the first to finish changing and styling.
When Zayn saw her, he froze in place, completely stunned by what he saw.
