Securing the Contract

"Ms. Harrington, his name is Mark, and he's eight months old."

Hearing everyone praise her son, Rosalie wore a proud expression.

She felt that she had accomplished nothing in her life. After so long in Hollywood, she still had not made a name for herself. The only thing she was proud of was having a smart, adorable child like Mark.

"He's the one! This child is as adorable as an angel—the very kind our company is looking for!"

Julia said happily.

As the manager of Lisa Formula Company, Julia was in charge of this commercial project, so she had the greatest say in the matter.

"Mm... We still need to follow the process and do a screen test first, to see whether the child can cooperate with the filming."

Caleb nodded without raising any objection.

He was also very satisfied with Mark's appearance.

Caleb then checked the various documents Rosalie had brought and had someone hand her the script.

"Ms. Payne, this is the commercial script. Please take a look first."

The content of this commercial was very simple.

Rosalie, playing the mother, would prepare formula for her child and hand it to him to drink.

After the child finished the formula, he would clap his hands and laugh happily.

Finally, Rosalie would pick up the formula can and recite the commercial line to the camera.

It was originally a very simple commercial, but because it required a baby on camera, it was not so easy to film.

Of the dozens of children who had auditioned before, either their appearance had not been satisfactory, or they simply refused to cooperate during filming.

Some cried nonstop, some would not drink the formula handed to them, and some children only crawled around on the floor.

Caleb only hoped Mark would be at least somewhat cooperative.

"Director, I've finished reading it."

After memorizing the lines, Rosalie returned the script.

"Good. Get ready for the screen test!"

Once the staff had arranged the props and positioned the actors, Caleb nodded and gave the order. "Action!"

The camera beside them immediately focused on Rosalie and Mark, who was sitting on the floor next to her.

Rosalie picked up the baby bottle from the dining table beside her and skillfully began preparing the formula.

That alone already put her ahead of many actresses who had never cared for a child.

After preparing the formula, Rosalie crouched down and held it out before Mark. "Baby, it's time for milk!"

It was not yet Mark's feeding time, and Rosalie had originally worried that her son would not cooperate.

But she soon saw Mark naturally take the bottle and put it in his mouth to drink.

"That's great!"

Caleb and everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of the children before him had refused to cooperate even for this scene, giving them all a headache!

After Mark finished the formula, Rosalie reached out and took the bottle from him.

The final scene was the baby clapping and laughing, and it was also the hardest scene in the commercial to film.

Previously, many parents had tried every possible method to guide their children, but the results had been disappointing.

Rosalie crouched outside the camera's frame and clapped her hands to guide Mark.

Mark did not want to act too unusually. After all, he was only an eight-month-old baby now. It would not be good if people took him for a monster.

At Rosalie's prompting, he initially only giggled and ignored her.

Rosalie was very patient and continued clapping to guide him.

After she repeated the motion three times in a row, Mark finally seemed to discover something fun and began copying her, clapping his little hands.

"That's wonderful! What an amazing baby!"

"This is the smartest baby I've ever seen!"

"..."

Seeing this, Julia immediately cheered.

The others around them also clapped happily.

"Lisa Formula, balanced nutrition, worry-free growth!"

After the applause died down, Rosalie picked up the formula can and recited the final line to the camera.

"Very good!"

Caleb nodded in satisfaction and said to the three people beside him, "Let's use her and little Mark for this commercial!"

"Good, I agree!"

"This child has such spirit. The commercial will definitely be popular once it airs!"

"..."

The other three nodded in agreement as well.

Darian Horton, the manager of Tenda GG Company, took out two prepared contracts and handed them to Rosalie.

"Ms. Payne, if you have no objections to the terms, please sign both copies."

Rosalie took the two contracts, looked them over, and signed her name.

"Here's to a pleasant collaboration!"

Darian smiled and shook Rosalie's hand. "Please come to our company again in three days for the official shoot."

"Okay, I'll remember."

Rosalie nodded, said goodbye to everyone, and left.

As she and Daphne pushed the stroller out of the audition room, they saw Emily waiting outside.

Emily shot Rosalie a provocative look, lifted her chin, and walked into the audition room.

"Sorry, ma'am, but both roles for this commercial have already been decided. I hope we will have a chance to work together in the future."

Darian's apologetic voice came from inside the audition room.

Then came Emily's furious cursing. "What? That's impossible! Damn it..."

Rosalie and Daphne exchanged a smile and quickly left the company building.

To celebrate securing the commercial roles, Rosalie treated Daphne to a big meal at KFC.

Only after they had eaten and drunk their fill did the two take Mark home.

Seeing that his Sunlight Value had increased by twenty points, Mark was very satisfied when he returned home.

This time, not only had he helped Rosalie secure the commercial and improve their living conditions, but he had also gained more Sunlight Value. It was a complete win-win!

Three days later, Rosalie and Daphne brought Mark to Tenda GG Company again.

"Ms. Payne, please come with me."

A staff member led them into the elevator and up to the top floor.

This was the official filming location for the commercial.

The original office had been remodeled into a warmly decorated kitchen.

Sunlight poured through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the entire room.

Mark sat up in his stroller.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he could overlook more than half of Hollywood.

This is what it means to enjoy life! Once I have money in the future, I'll definitely buy a penthouse mansion with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows too. Then I can bask in the sun for almost the entire day!

Watching his Sunlight Value rise rapidly, Mark secretly made a vow.

This place could enjoy sunlight for almost the entire day. It was far better than their shabby old apartment!

"Ms. Payne, welcome!"

Darian stepped forward with a smile and shook Rosalie's hand.

Caleb was leading the crew in arranging the set. When they saw Rosalie and Mark enter, they all turned to look at them.

Especially after noticing Mark's snow-white, rosy skin, quite a few people cried out in amazement.

"Oh my God! I heard our little actor for this shoot was so beautiful it was like he'd been kissed by God. I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Little Mark is so adorable! Once our commercial airs, it might really become a hit!"

"..."
