Female NovelChapter 265
As Matthew made his way through the crowd, a path cleared for him as if by magic.
The superstar actor right here in person!
The very man folks would scramble over each other just to catch a glimpse of, was now strolling through the halls of Rosefrost University.
Meanwhile, Campbell was fervently texting his big brother from the sidelines.
“Bro, act like you don’t know me, okay? There’s been a bit of a mix–up, gotta audition for a role.”
“Man, the folks here for the audition? They’re all up to no good, sneaking peeks at the script like they’ve got some grand plan.”
“You’ve got to pick Morwenna, alright? That’s the one Norbert’s got a soft spot for. If you nail this performance, Norbert’s gonna be over the moon. You know he’ll sing your praises to Grandpa.”
“Got a visual on her? Standing right next to me, the prettiest, most innocent–looking girl here.”
As Matthew read through the messages, catching Morwenna’s name seemed to make him pause for a beat.
Stuart’s wife?
He knew Stuart’s wife was in school, but he hadn’t realized she was attending Rosefrost University, the same one as his brother.
And what was this situation now? Was his dense brother suggesting he perform in a play together with Morwenna?
And with Stuart slated to visit today, was he supposed to let Stuart watch him perform alongside Morwenna?
Choosing anyone but Morwenna seemed like it would not only offend her but indirectly Stuart too. And offending Stuart was a surefire way to dig his own grave!
Matthew shot Campbell a murderous glance.
Campbell just scratched his nose, wondering why he was getting the evil eye.
What had he done wrong?
Ignoring clueless Campbell, Matthew managed a strained smile towards Morwenna.
Morwenna gave Matthew a cool nod in return, recognizing him as one of Stuart’s buddies.
She remembered him; Stuart’s friends had once tried setting Stuart up with some woman.
Seeing Morwenna’s reaction only added to Matthew’s internal panic.
How he wished he could throttle his idiotic brother right there!
But with all eyes on him, Matthew had to maintain a composed smile and made his way to the stage.
He greeted everyone, “Hey there, everybody in Rosefrost University! I’m your guest star for the welcome party, here to perform in Ethereal Dreams.”
The crowd went wild.
Cheers and hollers filled the air.
“OMG! Matthew!”
“He’s the lead!”
Matthew smiled outwardly but was screaming inside.
Soon, the auditions began. Aside from Morwenna, five others managed to memorize the script well. novelbin
But Matthew was in no mood for games. “Let’s do a quick scene each, about two minutes. I’ll skim the script, and you guys pick your
scenes.*
With that, Matthew retreated to review the script, his innate talent allowing him almost to memorize it at a glance.
All the while, he silently cursed Campbell
Campbell sneezed, rubbing his nose, unaware of the silent curses being directed his way.
As the auditions kicked off, Sandra, having had her people rehearse the script, was confident. Among her group was a former child actor, well–prepped and ready.
Only Morwenna was left without a rehearsal partner, never having practiced even once.
The first to audition didn’t set a high bar. Despite the anticipation,
stumbled over her words upon locking eyes with Matthew.
The second managed to recite her lines but displayed as much emotion as someone reading from a textbook.
