Chapte 14
Everyone knew that Yves was one of the rising stars in the past couple of years and had a role in “Legacy of Ash.” If Serena was being escorted by him, it clearly meant she had connections. Was she trying to get the role through the back door?
Yves handed Serena her audition number. “Here’s your number–it’s one of the first. The audition room is through that door,” he said, pointing to the closed door nearby. “I’m going in now to join the director and watch the auditions.”
Serena gratefully took the card, which bore the number three. “Thank you so much.”
She knew from experience how crucial the order of auditions could be. When everyone was performing the some scene, it was hard to stand out. Being one of the first would give her an advantage, as the casting panel’s energy and focus would still be fresh. Those auditioning later would struggle to make a memorable impression unless their performance was exceptional.
Yves gave Serena gripped the script pages in her hand, silently rehearsing the scene in her head.
her an encouraging smile and said, “Good luck,” before heading into the audition room.
The audition was for a scene in which the secondary lead encountered the male lead for the first time. The atmosphere was tense, as it was a fantasy drama where the male lead transformed from a weakling into a powerful hero. When he first met the secondary lead, he was still in his growth phase, nowhere near her match.

The second female lead. Medusa, was a bloodthirsty character. The mate lead unintentionally trespassed on her territory and state the treasure she had guarded for years prompting her to order a relentless pursuit
All she needed to do was convey Medusa’s cold, murderous aura and her killing intent toward the male lead
She secretly exhaled in relied Thankfully I played many vicious female villains in my past life, so I’m more than familiar with this kind of role
Just as she was deep in thought, the door suddenly opened, and a woman with a work badge called out,
Number three, come in!”
Serena immediately followed the woman into the room.
Meanwhile, in an office within the studio backlot, Lennox sat in front of a computer, watching the live audition feed. He founded Starlight Media but seldom managed its affairs, leaving them to his subordinates
However, today was different
Two people had already auditioned, and he was growing impatient, furrowing his eyebrows “Why isn’t she here yet? Miss Zeller, did you make sure the message got through?
Vanessa brought him a black coffee, glanced at the screen, and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Savill. The message has already been passed on to Miss Stone through her close friend. Miss Stone has cut ties with the Stone Family, so she must be looking for ways to make a living. She’ll definitely come.”
No sooner had Vanessa spoken than Lennox spotted Serena’s figure on the screen. His previously gloomy expression immediately brightened, and he stared intently at the screen with a smile.
“You little brat, let’s see where you can escape this time!”
Then, Serena entered the audition room.
It was clear that effort had been put into casting for the second female lead. The large room was filled with equipment, and the floor was also filled with numerous tangled wires.
Serena took a deep breath and looked up at the person seated under the lights not far away.
The director, Lyle Fisher, was sitting upright in a chair, holding a pen and notebook, busily scribbling something down
Seated next to him were two men. One was Yves, who gave her a nod of encouragement and silently mouthed, “Good luck” The other was Xavier Charles, the male lead of “Legacy of Ash.”
Xavier was one of the hottest stars in the last three years, best known for his roles in historical dramas,
He was named the most popular male actor at this year’s international awards ceremony, with over 20 million followers on Instagram. He was also regarded as one of the top four actors in historical dramas
His presence alone was a guaranteed ratings booster for any drama.
Serena felt a bit nervous because she had never acted in such a large production before.
The woman who had brought her in noticed her hesitation and couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss Stone,
can start now.”
She jolted back to reality, seeing everyone on the stage was looking at her, and quickly collected herself. Taking a deep breath, she silently encouraged herself, Serena, you can do this!
