Female lead

"Miss Gisele please come" An Elderly man ushered her to a seat immediately she walked into the restaurant floor

The place he had chosen was on of the top known restaurants in country M. He must have thought to elements suspicions and uncomfortableness that must have been why he ordered the didn't book somewhere too private but somewhere there were quite a few other people.

"Please have your seat" he motioned and his secretary graceful pulled the chair for her to seat.

"Thank you" Gisele appreciated. As she sat down, her eyes involuntary checked the middle aged man out.

Fifty something-ish. His part black and white hair was an evidence of his age. A vibrant face, not ridden with sagged skin or contorted by wrinkles. He had really taken care of his appearance.

No doubt he had the money, if not he would not have been able to reserve a table for two at Crysto Restaurant at such short notice, that too their rooftop glass floor.

She knows this cause Roxanne would not stop talking of it when a star cast in one of her movie had treated her to a meal. It was like she was taken on a trip to heaven.

"I hope you don't mind, I took liberties to order for the both of us. I thought it's best we talked over the meal"

Gisele did not mind. She was hungry herself as she had not eaten anything the previous night. After getting home and attending to her face she blocked her ears with a pair of earphones and drifted of to sleep whilst listening to one of the songs her grandfather used to like.

Now her stomach was empty so talking while eating was totally not a bad idea.

"Sure" she was not a picky eater. As far as there didn't turn out to be peanut in the food then she was fine with it. The food arrived, the secretary helped dished it to them.

"My Friend tells me you have signed to be his Face of Glamor. I also saw your pictures. I must say I haven't seen anyone who is loved like the camera like you" He complimented.

Gisele smiled gratefully "thank you"

"You don't need to thank me, I'm only speaking the truth. After seeing your pictures i was relieved cause you must just be the missing piece in my puzzle"

She rose a brow curiously.

"You don't seem to know who I am do you?" The Old man asked, he could tell by the natural expression on the lady's face. He had had such meal meeting with other ladies and all through they would hold a fawning smile, while trying their best to get into his good books.

Gisele nodded. The man was right. Gisele had no idea who he was. She might have been in the Entertainment industry as an assistant still she had no knowledge of the big shots in the industry. All her days were focused on attending to Roxanne so how could she be bothered with learning about other people.

"My name is William Cox"

William Cox?

The name sounded familiar to Gisele but still she couldn't pin point where she had heard it beforehand. She racked her brain for long. The man didn't also disturb her, he sat quietly watching her trying to recall his identity.

Wait... William Cox?

The same Wilcox?

Gisele eyes opened and she stared at the man. Was he the same Wilcox that people used to speak of?

Mr William smiled "it seems you remember me now"

William Cox aka Wilcox. The Divine writer whose stories could captivate ones soul and whose movies always ended up being a mega hit. He has worn dozen of awards for every of his book and movies.

His production was literally every actress dreams cause they knew starring in his movie would lead to undeniable fame. But it wasn't as easy as it sounded cause the man was severely strict with his story and characters. He was the kind of man that could cancel a movie production because the actors didn't match the personality of the characters he had in mind.

Not just in look but one would have to share close similarities with am imaginary human just to get a role in his movie production.

"It's a pleasure to be in your presence Mr William." Gisele greeted courteously. The Elderly man was probably the same age with her grandfather not only that he was an of great principles. It was impossible to not respect such people.

He nodded "The pleasure is all mine"

"Now that you know who, I can assume you might know why I am seeking you out".

Not completely but she had an inkling on what his deal would be. He must be here to offer her a role in his upcoming drama series.

Just like she expected his drama series was brought out in his next words. "It shouldn't be new to you that my New Drama Series would be starting our production soon but we are being delayed by a few things."

At the middle of the year, news was released by the second top Entertainment industry in Country M that the bestselling novel 'Fate' by William Cox was finally going to be turned to motion pictures.

A few of the minor cast were already decided leaving the major ones. So a few auditions were carried out to chose the characters. From the start to finish, everyone followed the whole audition process as they anticipated the movie. The novel had a huge fanbase so they would also make recommendation for who they thought would be best to represent the roles still no one could force Mr Collins into choosing who didn't want.

The book held a very important part in his heart as it was a biography of his young teenage life, it held his struggles as a youth and his tumultuous love life.

After a few months of auditions the production crew chose a popular actress to act as the female lead but Mr Williams vehemently refused saying she wasn't fit to act as the famale lead. He withdrew the script from the production and vowed he wasn't going to bring it to light till he found the right actress.

The issue had caused quite a lot of stir, it was impossible for Gisele to not have heard of it even if she was socially inclined. Mr Williams love story was one that even local proletariat adored and rooted for. So everyone had been disappointed when it didn't hit the big screens.

"Indeed I have heard of Mr William's Movie Fate. I haven't read the story myself but a lot of friends had given a good review about it" A lot of people apart from Roxanne. She remembered Roxanne too had been interested in getting a role in the movie production so she had hurriedly bought the book and read it with intentions of swooning the judges at the audition but she only ended up commenting that the writers love was overrated.

An anxious look appeared on the Man's face. He adjusted his seat and asked "I want you to be the Female lead in my movie."

Female lead?
