But it seems David didn''t know that or assumed he needed an introduction. So he continued without missing a beat, "And this lovelydy is our very own top-star actress Vanessa Cruz."


    Vanessa shed her perfect set of white teeth at Lucifer before extending out her slender arm for him to grab hold of, which he did so while saying, "I have been a fan of your works, Miss Vanessa. So I must say, it really is an honor meeting such a beautiful and talented actress like you in person."


    "You tter me, Mr. Lucifer," Vanessa replied back with a smile that seemed almost seductive in nature, though Lucifer wasn''t sure whether that was intentional or not. "But please call me Vanessa instead; no need for formalities."


    "Alright then. You can call me Lucifer as well." He responded with a charming smile of his own, and they both shook hands without breaking eye contact.


    After they finished their introductions, everyone sat down around the table with David, James, and Amanda sitting opposite Lucifer across the table, whereas Vanessa took her seat next to him.


    Then David began speaking again, this time sounding more serious than before. "Before anything else gets discussed between us today, let me ask you something first, Mr. Lucifer."


    Lucifer just nodded his head at him, indicating that he may proceed further.


    "Are you aware of what kind of project we are going to talk about here?"


    "Yes," Lucifer answered, "I have been briefed by my secretary about the web series and the guest appearance in it."


    "Indeed..." David confirmed before continuing. "It''s not just any ordinary web series you usuallye across nowadays on streaming tforms. Instead, it is currently top trending and gaining poprity with each new episode, thanks to its interesting storyline, excellent cinematography, and superb performances from our cast members. And the name of this web series is ''Young Billionaire''s Secret Desire''."


    Amanda immediately added after him with her pleasant voice, "To give more context about the story... the protagonist of our web series is a wealthy young businesswoman who has everything one could wish for in their lives. From luxurious cars and houses to private jets and yachts, she possesses all types of riches imaginable. However, despite being surrounded by so much wealth and luxury around herself every day, deep inside she yearns for true love. And that''s when she fell in love with an honest police officer, whoes from an ordinary background, after being saved by him during a kidnapping event."


    "I see." Lucifer nodded his head at Amanda''s exnation.


    "And Vanessa here is ying the role of our protagonist." David spoke again as if sensing Lucifer''s interest in what they were saying. "Due to her poprity and talent, people are very much enjoying this show right now."


    Then David leaned forward and continued speaking further with a serious expression on his face. "Yet, despite everything going well for us right now, thest aired episode left some dissatisfaction among viewers regarding how things went between these two main characters of our story. And if we released the new episode as it was filmed ording to the original script, then the audience might get upset even more at seeing such developments urring without prior buildups or foreshadowings."


    Lucifer raised an eyebrow when he heard this part but decided against asking anything until the other person finished his exnation first.


    Seeing no interruptionsing from him, David resumed talking once again. "So, keeping all these points in mind, we have decided upon recing the one scene with something different yet exciting for everyone watching it and maybe satisfying our viewers'' desires for a good plot twist along with great entertainment."


    "I understand," Lucifermented after listening to everything being said by them so far. But then another question popped up inside his mind afterward: Why did they choose him instead of any other famous male celebrity out there? He wasn''t an actor, nor did he ever act before in TV shows or movies.


    It didn''t make much sense to him at first nce. Getting a neer like him to perform alongside Vanessa would risk affecting their ratings due to his non-existent poprity in the film industry as well as his acting skills being untested yet.


    Yet here they are, sitting across from him with such high hopes written over their faces about making this project seed, with Lucifer starring as the guest star alongside Vanessa in the new episode.


    They must have something big nned involving his involvement in order to take such a huge gamble on him, which made him very curious about what kind of idea James and Amanda hade up with regarding his character''s role in the story.


    "Why me?" Lucifer asked bluntly without wasting time beating around the bush anymore. "I am sure there should be plenty of popr and talented actors avable willing to do your project. What makes you want me as your Guest Actor? I am not an actor, nor do I have any prior acting experience."


    Hearing Lucifer''s doubts, James decided to break his silence as he looked straight in his eyes.


    "Let me answer that," James said in an authoritative tone while leaning backwards against his chair. He had a sharp look in his eyes, which showed how determined he was when it came to matters concerning the filmmaking business. And after looking at Lucifer for a few seconds more, he began exining why they wanted Lucifer instead of others.


    "Mr. Lucifer, I have seen yourmercial ad, and you have qualities that make you stand apart from others who can act in our web series. You have charisma, confidence, and most importantly, sex appeal. All these thingsbined create a certain aura around you that will draw women viewers towards your screen presence. They would want to see more of you because they''ll be attracted to your charm and personality. This will help our show maintain its poprity even after the sudden twist in the storyline."
