Stella gritted her teeth. “Actually, you remind me of something. As long as I’m healthy and sleep with a regular man, | can getpregnant. The one who needs supplements is you!” After she said that, she stuffed the decoction into his arms, “You can keepthe drink to yourself!”
She finished talking and slammed the door before she left. Keegan lowered his gaze and looked at the decoction with abewildered expression. When Maya had finished cleaning up, Keegan had already left. The bowl left on the coffee table wasalready empty. The nanny took out her phone and took a picture before sending it.
When Stella rushed to the hotel, she was a few minutes later than the agreed time. Felicity had been waiting for her from muchearlier. Once they met, she ridiculed her in a low voice. “So much pressure. | initially thought we would be early if we arrived anhour earlier. Instead, we are the last! Being a middle to lower-class actor is so difficult. People are breaking their skulls just tosnatch such a role.”
Stella glanced along the corridor, and she saw that there were actually twenty to thirty people standing there. Some of them wereartists who came independently, and some had their managers with them. Just by counting some of them, there were close totwenty competitors. Everyone touched up their makeup, warmed up their voices, and even stretched their legs by pressing themon the wall. All of the actresses were very pretty, without exception.
The bit of confidence Stella had in her looks suddenly faltered. She was kept captive by Keegan for too long and assumed thathaving a beautiful face would allow her to do whatever she wanted. Yet, in actual fact, there were too many beautiful people inthis industry. Beauty, instead, was the most normal thing there.
To be able to distinguish oneself from the group of people who already have some professional acting experience in this fieldwas to rely on their own professional competence. The face was, at most, the cherry on top.
Recognizing this point, Stella could not help but feel nervous.
Felicity had also noticed this and comforted her in a low voice. “There is no need to be so nervous. Just treat it as an assignmentin university. Just perform steadily and don’t overthink. If we can perform this scene smoothly, we are halfway there to success.”novelbin
Stella relaxed slightly and said softly, “I'll try my best.”
In a short while, the door to the room opened. A woman who could only be described as competent held a stack of resumes andcame out of the room. She shouted, “When we call out your names later, just go into the room directly. The duration formemorizing your lines and performing must not exceed eight minutes. You will manage the time yourself.”
Then, the first actor was called in to enter. The atmosphere on site immediately turned anxious. A total of sixteen actorsauditioned, and each person had eight minutes. This would at least require more than two hours. However, in reality, eachperson's audition time was shorter than eight minutes.
Stella’s nerves were tense, and she was prepared to be called out any moment. However, when there were only two people left,she still did not have her name called out. After the last actor had left, she was the only one left at the scene. Yet, after waiting fora long time, she did not see anyone call out her name. Something was wrong. Felicity’s heart also started to beat faster. “Let'swait a little longer. | bet they’re busy with something else.” Yet, she did not believe a single word she said herself.
After another few minutes, the door opened, and both of their hearts stopped. The person who came out was the woman whowas Calling out names previously, but this time, she did not come out to call anynames. Instead, she went downstairs.
Felicity got up and chased after her to stop her. “Miss, why is there no continued audition for this scene? Did somethinghappen?”
The woman glanced at her and nonchalantly said, “The audition is over.”
Felicity was confused. “Miss, you must be kidding me. My group hasn’t been called out yet.”
