At the Golden Plaza Hotel…The mere audition for the movie was already considered as a success as many actors and actresses lined up vying for the lead characters. Both A and B-listed actresses were there to audition, hoping to be the lucky one. They were patiently waiting for their turn just to make sure they were casted.For Winnie Lou, she thought that they were just wasting their time. The audition was just like a promotional activity as the main characters were already decided. Just like the lead actress, it was already decided that she'll take the role. The audition was just the formalities.The Lou Group invested in this movie with the intention of giving her the lead role. Of course, it was all because the president of the Lou Group was her father. At first, the director didn't agree because Winnie's capabilities hadn't proved anything. But with just a snap of her dad's fingers, the director changed his mind. There's nothing in this world that couldn't be bought with money. Mon
"And who are you to tell me that?" Director Zhang, who was lost at a minute or two, angrily asked her. He looked at the woman in front of her. She was elegantly beautiful and had respectable features. "As the PR Director of the Lou Group, I am responsible to make sure that we won't take a loss investing in your movie." She meaningfully said. "Seemed we'll be taking a great risk if she's to be the female lead." Jacyn said scornfully while eyeing Winnie Lou."You, you - - - how could you even say that?" Winnie Lou said nervously, afraid to make her angrier. Her acting career was on the line now, she could make her angry or curry favor from her. Why the hell is she targeting her? She's still her cousin, she's still one of the Lou's. Jacyn just looked at her disdainfully, " Aside from her beautiful face and pitiful act, what else could she do? She's more of a vixen, and she could just cry a little harder. What makes her exceptional, then?""That's why we had just our audition. She's the
'I support Miss Lou.' Jacyn heard the man. She frowned and looked at him looking at her with so much gentleness. But it was gone the minute he turned his gaze to others.People bowed their heads as they couldn't take the suffocating aura that he's emitting. For a moment, silence enveloped the surroundings. It was like they're still processing his words."Oh well, Young Master Lee! It's our honor to have you here!" Director Zhang was the first one to speak. He was both surprised and excited. What made this big boss visit a movie audition? Whatever the reason is, it makes him feel important and flattered at the same time. "Yes, yes, Miss Lou here, was already chosen as the female lead." He said after a moment of realization of what Liam had said. He was here to support Miss Lou. Could it be that, that - - - but he heard that Miss Lou was recently engaged with Young Master Liang. He didn't dare to think of it that way. Maybe he's here to support her because she was a good investment. He p
"Your name, please," Director Zhang asked uninterested, the annoyance still visible in his face. Yes, he already agreed to let her audition, but it didn't mean that his decision as to who would take the female lead role will change. He had already promised to give Winnie Lou this role and he would definitely fulfill it. Unknowingly, he was in for the surprise of his life."I am Xia Rong," she humbly said, taking off her face mask and cap.People gasped in surprise when they heard her name and they saw her real look. Xia Rong is back!Xia Rong was famously called the "popstar princess". She has been in the entertainment industry since she was a little child. Her parents were also well known in the industry. She's a great singer, model and actress. She's a versatile and award-winning actress. All her previous movies were blockbuster and all the awards were given to them. Her fan base has already reached globally. Jacyn was her secret best friend. They first met on one of her mall tours
"Yes, Director Zhang. Shall I continue with my act then?" Xia said, all smiles. She knew Jacyn was right. She should prove to them that she could still act. "My, my.. are you sure? I wouldn't want to put you on something like this. I already knew your capabilities like the back of my hand." Director Zhang's worried that she's gonna change her mind. He just didn't want to pressure the girl, who had just come back. Even if she can't act like before, then he will help her. He trusted that she could still act, he trusted her the way she did to him before. Xia Rong nodded knowingly. "Yes Director, I am very sure." She understood Director Zhang, but nevertheless, she still wanted to put on a show. She would want to put Winnie Lou in her right place."Then the stage is yours, Ms. Xia Rong," he agreed as he looked up at her expectantly.She gave them a smile as she turned her back to them. When she turned around to face them again, she's already a different person. She was now the empress
Liam just grinned at her."What would you like to eat?" He asked when she's already settled in her seat. He looked at the girl in front of him, admiration in his eyes. She used to be a bubbly little girl who always followed him around. "A-anything that's edible," she stammered, feeling uneasy on the way he looked at her."Oh, is that so?" He looked down at the menu he's holding. He called the waiter and whispered something.Jacyn raised an eyebrow as she watched him being secretive. She couldn't help being suspicious. What was he planning? Was he planning to put something on her food? Was he that evil? She shivered on the thoughts that she might be on the plate of this monster. She looked around the room, hoping to find an escape route."Are you not comfortable here?" Liam suddenly asked, looking at her thoughtfully. He was done talking with the waiter. She didn't even notice that the waiter was gone. "No-no, I'm okay. I'm just wondering how you manage to reserve here in just a shor
"Thank you." She murmured. They were inside Liam's car in front of the Lou's mansion. "For what?" Liam asked, without looking at her."For today? For helping us with the audition, for the food and for personally driving me back home." She felt ashamed because she doubted him before. He seemed to be a nice person. There's just one thing that she didn't want of him - that he is her fiance. She hated the fact that they were engaged since she's young but she couldn't even remember.He just looked at her affectionately, smiled and ruffled her hair. He loves her hair, it is very shiny and smooth. "Nothing I could do for you, Jace." That was the second time he called her 'Jace'. Somehow it touched her heart. She couldn't say that she disliked it when he called her that way, because the truth is, it brought her butterflies in her stomach.They remained silent for a moment, enjoying the comfortable silence. "Well, it's already late. You should go home. Thank you again for today." Jacyn had t
Jacyn coldly stared at the intruder, "Indeed, the president is so eager to see me." She sarcastically said. "Lead the way, then." The woman felt goosebumps as the PR Director followed her to the president's office. She could feel the cold stare on her back. She knocked on the door twice and opened it widely so that Jacyn could enter."Hello, my dear niece! How are you coping up?" He asked with a fake smile after the door was closed."Mr. Wang Lou," she acknowledged him with a bored nod as she glanced around the office with an uninterested look. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the wall with his family picture on it. She'll rip off that wall in the near future. It's supposed to be her family. Not his, not them. She looked at her wristwatch like telling him that he's just wasting her time. "I've been busy. Why did you call me here?" She acted innocently."Jacyn, I heard about what had happened in the audition of the movie we're trying to invest in. It was already the talk of the whol
