Playboy Billionaire (The Carolina Series Book 3)

“I’m a huge fan!” Penelope said in awe.
“Thank you. I have a script I’m reading right now that you’d be perfect for. A complete one-eighty from what you’ve been starring in, but I think it would be a fabulous change of pace.”
“I’m intrigued. It would be an honor to work with you. Obviously, I’ll be tied up for a few months,” she said, holding her belly.
“I see that. We’re not even close to casting yet. Just keep it in mind. I’ll send over the script.”
“Can you give me a hint?”
“It’s a biographical film about Nellie Bly.”
“The writer?”
“Yes! You know of her. Not many do. Her christened name was Elizabeth Cochrane. She was brilliant. Lived a fascinating life.”
“I’m extremely interested in getting my hands on that script. I’ll look forward to hearing from you.” Penelope’s cheeks felt warm and her body tingled with excitement. What an opportunity…not only to work with a female director of her caliber, but to spread her wings and take on a different genre of film.
Roz held out her hand. “You were fabulous in this film. I’m so impressed with your nuanced performance. Stewart here is no dummy.”
“Thank you for thinking of me. My manager Constance Monroe is floating around here somewhere. She’ll be in touch.”
Griffin smiled down at her. “This is exciting.”
She whispered, “Pinch me.”
Up until now, she’d mostly been cast in rom coms and romantic suspense, and she was grateful for the work, but this, well…it could open up possibilities for her. This type of film would rely less on her youth and beauty and more on her acting skills.
“It was so nice to finally meet you and I’ll look forward to collaborating in the future,” Roz said. Stew winked at Penelope before turning and walking away arm in arm with Roz.
Griffin gazed down, his eyes scorching her skin. Penelope felt a sudden tingling between her legs.
“You deserve this Penelope.” He waved his arm wide, “All of this. I love seeing the light in your eyes.”
“Thank you, Griff. But honestly, it all amounts to nothing if you’ve got no one to share it with. I’m glad you’re here.”
He traced her lips with his thumb, “I’m here as long as you’ll have me.”
She smiled up at him, “Good to know.”
The End for Now…
