Lustful Paradise

"We already finished shooting with another actor for this role according to the original script but decided to change the plot last minute because we felt like the story needed more drama and spice added to it," James added, then paused for a moment as he looked over at Lucifer. "And when I came across your ad few days ago during dinner, I knew you'd fit the bill perfectly for this role. And so, I contacted Mr. David and told him my idea about recasting the character in our web series."

David nodded his head after hearing James' words and continued speaking himself. "Yes. We had to do a lot of things, including reworking the script again from scratch to fit your persona into it. But thanks to Amanda, everything worked out fine in the end. She did an excellent job rewriting everything within short notice considering how busy her schedule is nowadays with other projects."

Then he showed the laptop's screen to Lucifer, "Here is the scene that we had shot with the previous actor and Vanessa... You can take a look at this, and then Ms. Amanda will narrate to you the changes in the plot according to the new script made by her."

After that, David played a scene from the episode, which showed a male actor talking with Vanessa in some sort of party setting.

Once done with that, Amanda narrated the changes in the story where Lucifer would play his role. She created a perfect picture with her clear voice about the characters' emotions, feelings, actions, and dialogues. It was easy for anyone listening to her to imagine the entire scene playing out inside their heads without any difficulties whatsoever.

The more he listened to her narration, the better understanding he got about why they were sure that his inclusion in the story would work wonders for the web series and its popularity among viewers.

Because she had done a wonderful job at blending Lucifer's personality and qualities into this particular character, she wrote just for him.

What made Lucifer surprised a little was that he had experienced something similar before.

When Amanda finished her narration, Lucifer nodded his head again as if agreeing with her assessment about his character. He felt like he could do this role without any difficulty at all.

Everyone was silent for a while after that, and seeing no questions coming from him, David started speaking again. "I know you have a lot of other responsibilities on your shoulders, but I hope we can reach an agreement on working together so we can make our show even bigger than before!"

Lucifer didn't respond to him right away though; instead, he looked over towards Vanessa next. She hadn't said anything yet since they introduced themselves to each other earlier during the beginning of this meeting.

He wanted to listen to her thoughts as the scene that was about to be shot involved her as well, and she was the star of the series after all.

And the most concerning part of the new plot was that it was an intimate scene with Vanessa.

"Your story sounds interesting indeed, and I think the changes you guys made to the plot are good ones. However, there is one question I want to ask Vanessa before giving my final decision." Lucifer said in an assertive tone as he looked directly at her. "As far as I know, you haven't done any bold scenes in your career yet. But this new scene you want to shoot with me is very... explicit. Why did you decide to do something like that now?"

Vanessa leaned back against her chair and crossed her arms under her ample breasts. Her eyes twinkled with confidence, and she gave him a beautiful smile as if trying to reassure Lucifer that there was nothing to worry about here.

"You see, Lucifer... My role has been receiving some complaints from the audience." She started explaining in her melodious voice while looking straight into his eyes. Her gaze seemed intense but not threatening or intimidating.

"I don't know exactly what kind of things people expect to see from me when I act out certain scenes on screen sometimes. But still, I understand their feelings quite well because they want something different and exciting from time to time rather than just seeing the same old stuff being repeated again and again by us actors in our performances."

Her expression softened somewhat before she continued speaking once more. "And after talking with these guys about your involvement in our web series, I realized how much my character lacks spice and boldness in her personality despite being a strong businesswoman who is used to getting her way around others."

"So, by doing this scene with me, you think you can charm your fans even more?" Lucifer asked while keeping his eyes fixed upon her face.

Vanessa nodded her head without breaking contact with his gaze as well.

"Yes, I'm sure it will work wonders," she said with confidence. "My fans are dying to see another side of me that they have never seen before, and I want to give them exactly that. And for doing an explicit scene? Ever since I thought about becoming an actor, I knew what kind of challenges awaited me, from sleeping with producers and directors to doing adult stuff on camera. I was prepared for everything."

"Yet, my luck was good, and I got scouted by Mr. David's company in the early stage of my career. They believed in my talent and supported me to perfect my art of acting even more instead of making me go through those shady practices that are very common within the film industry nowadays." Vanessa continued.
