Beside Zoe, Candice said, “Looks the same to me.”
“No way,” Zoe said as she checked the script again. “This one is so crude!”
“Well, how complex did you want it?” Candice laughed. ‘They gave you a minor role before, and it’s paragraphs for you now. What more do you want? II
It was just banter-she meant no harm despite the irony in her words.
On the other hand, Zoe was frowning as she came to a realization.
Could it be…?!
She couldn’t help asking, “Could you show me your last script?”
“Hold on, I think I kept it in my bag…” Candice quickly took it out and showed it to Zoe, while unable to hold back a huge sigh. “See? I had at least two pages’ worth of lines last time, but it’s been halved! I’m sure I won’t even have this much in the next round.’
Zoe read Candice’s script for the last round twice, and finally confirmed her earlier suspicions.
Even her script for the last round was different from the rest of the cast; her heart skipped a beat, while she felt a flutter over her chest.
Did Jay give her special attention last round?
At the very next instant, she shook her head, certain that she was just overthinking it.
Jay had gone through a lot to keep her in the show, and he needed a stellar performance for her to prove that he was right. Otherwise, his abilities would be called into question.
Yes, that was probably it-she shouldn’t hold any expectations for him.
She had done it one too many times, and on every occasion, she only suffered humiliation.
Moreover, he never showed up even after she had rehearsals with the other thespians for the day.
He had always been a role model in diligence, always coming in to join them for rehearsals. However, only his assistant showed up today for lunch delivery. Said assistant also passed instructions from him in his stead.
As for Zoe, she received a call from Quinn after the rehearsal.
“Are you done for the night?”
“What is it?” Zoe could immediately tell that Quinn was down in the dumps.
“Just wanted to ask you out for drinks,” Quinn replied.
“You changed a lot after three years, Quinn. You’ve never liked drinking, so why are you such an alcoholic now?”
“I could say the same about you-why is an alcoholic like you suddenly falling out of love with alcohol?” Quinn retorted.
“Fine! I can never win against you in an argument, Judge Judy,” Zoe conceded feebly. “But really, I can’t drink-1 have another rehearsal tomorrow. Dinner’s fine, and I might even watch you drink.”
“Twenty minutes. I’ll be there to pick you up.”
“Okay.”
Zoe was waiting outside the studio as several cars passed by, and one of them actually stopped near her. A middle-aged man poked his head out.” You’re Zoe York, aren’t you?”
Zoe had put on a mask, but otherwise didn’t disguise herself much since she did not have to.
Nonetheless, she was immediately recognized by the man, who said to her, “Yeah, I saw you in ‘Actors on Set*. Your acting was so great! Do your best, I’m supporting you!”
“Thank you,” Zoe said, and wondered if her fans were all that age these days.
Come to think of it, she was pushing thirty; she wouldn’t compare to those young’uns in their twenties. novelbin
“Zoe York, right?’ Another car stopped nearby, and the driver eagerly hurried out to meet her. “I’m a big fan-can I take a picture with you?’
Zoe didn’t refuse, and he said, “Thanks! Do your best!”
And with that, more cars either stopped or wound their windows just to take a look at her.
She finally felt popular again, and was starting to enjoy it a little.
“Can I have a photo with you. Miss Star Celebrity?” Zoe replied happily, “Sure.”
