Chapter 17: Audition
The elevator arrived quickly, and they were headed to different floors. Audrey and Anna got off first.
After they left, the people remaining in the elevator discreetly appraised Evans.
Evan acted as if he didn't notice, and he asked, "Is a production company holding auditions on that floor just now?"
The building manager nodded quickly, "Yes, they rented a whole floor for half a month."
Evans nodded in acknowledgement and didn't say anything further.
The building manager was actually burning with curiosity, wanting to know the relationship between Evans and the girl named Audrey from earlier.
After all, he had never seen Evans take the initiative to chat with a woman.
Evans, with his remarkable background and personal qualities, had a plethora of women vying for his attention, using all sorts of scheming tactics. This might be the reason for his apparent aversion to women.
The building manager was clueless about the specifics but definitely dared not ask. No matter how curious he was, he had to restrain himself.
After they exited the elevator, Audrey let out a slight sigh of relief.
Anna had been in a daze the whole time, which Audrey found rather odd. She asked, "Anna, what's wrong with you? Do you know Evans?"
Anna fell silent for a moment before nodding, "I do. When I was younger, my dad was hired as a personal coach for him, the person we just met."
At that time, her father would often be gone for several days, leading young Anna to curse the Evans, whom she had never met, under her breath.
Audrey was slightly surprised, but she quickly understood. "So, you're familiar with him. No wonder you seemed so surprised earlier."
Anna shook her head slightly, "Not really. This was my first time meeting him in person. I had only heard my dad talk about him before. I was just taken aback by his appearance since he's quite handsome."
Audrey: "..."
Anna continued, lost in her own thoughts, "But someone like him seems to bring conflicts wherever he goes, especially among women. I think it's better to stay away."
Audrey agreed deeply. She had the same thoughts as Anna when she first met Evans, and her initial impression of Evans had been the same..
"I totally agree. It's like we have known each other for a long time," Audrey remarked.
Anna chuckled, her mood lifted by Audrey's playful tone. She completely brushed off their earlier encounter and urged, "Let's get going. We don't want to be late for the audition. Daniel will skin us alive if we are." New n𝙤vel chapters are published on
With no more words exchanged, the two of them hastened towards the audition location.
There was only one role being auditioned for today, but when they arrived outside the door, they were surprised to find around twenty to thirty people waiting, many of whom were even somewhat famous.
Anna never expected there to be so many people. She was slightly taken aback, but she didn't dare show it. She only said to Audrey, "Audrey, you can do it. I believe you can do it."
Audrey nodded, admitting that claiming not to be nervous would be a lie, but she also wasn't excessively anxious.
After all, she had faced situations like this many times before. When she initially entered the entertainment industry, she struggled to afford meals and resided in the company's shared dormitory. If she didn't land roles, she would work as an extra.
During those times, she had no other options. Now, the situation was different; she didn't need to burden herself with so much pressure.
It wasn't long after they arrived that the director's assistant called Audrey's name.
Summoning a deep breath, Audrey entered the room while enduring the critical stares of her competitors.
As soon as she walked in, Audrey was stunned to see Eric seated there.
[No way, why is he here? Could it be that he is the director of this TV series?]
Eric's presence today was actually coincidental. He was close friends with the director of this production, Dean. Eric had come to find Dean for a certain matter, but unexpectedly, Dean roped him in to assist with the auditions.
It wasn't until he arrived that Eric realized the role being auditioned for was the very one Audrey had been preparing for.
Dean gave Audrey a quick look as she entered. He was searching for a character who was proud, perhaps even a bit haughty, yet he couldn't quite perceive those traits in Audrey.
However, her outfit today did suit the role.
Eric was also observing Audrey, though his expression remained stoic.
Audrey exchanged a brief glance with him, realizing that he likely wished to avoid any connection with her at the moment. Thus, she pretended not to recognize him.
Disregarding Eric completely, Audrey proceeded to introduce herself with the utmost sincerity.
