Chapter 239

Winter’s expression stiffened as she awkwardly glanced at Ronald. Ronald raised an eyebrow and nodded. “Let’s begin, Ms. Shaw.”

With that, Winter’s expression darkened completely. Yes, Xavier had indeed given her part of the script, saying it was from Ronald. However, she had only skimmed through it because she was already sure she

had secured the role.

She did not take the audition seriously at all, thinking it was just a formality and that her presence alone was a huge favor.

Noticing Winter’s demeanor, Ronald was slightly surprised. ‘Ms. Shaw, are you not prepared?”

“No, it’s not that… Um… Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Ms. Shaw, my time is also very valuable. I came from headquarters specifically for your audition. Mr. Hoffman instructed me to ensure everything went smoothly. You’re making this quite difficult for me,” Ronald said with a hint of annoyance.

Winter’s facial features grew even more rigid. “Mr. Hoffman? Mr. Hoffman personally intervened?”

“Of course, this drama has a significant investment from Royal Star Entertainment. Even though you’re only playing the second female lead, you should understand that this role is substantial. A well–executed performance can make you outshine the lead actress.

“I assumed that after what you’ve been through, you’d cherish this opportunity.” Ronald shook his head before adding, “It seems this role isn’t appealing enough for you?”

“No, it’s just… I’ve been unwell recently, so I haven’t been able to study the script thoroughly.” Winter had not expected Charles to personally intervene, making her feel embarrassed. Moreover, Ronald’s tone suggested dissatisfaction with her.

“Unwell? It seems you’re not in good shape. Perhaps you should take more time to rest? We can wait, but the director, Mr. Chevalier, is already displeased with having someone pushed into the cast. He had his preferences for the role-*

“Mr. Wells, please give me some time. I’ll prepare right away. I’ll be ready shortly!” Winter was panicking

now.

She knew how crucial this role was for her. She was nearly sidelined by her agency. It was only because she had secured a role in a film invested by Royal Star Entertainment that their attitude toward her improved. If she lost this role now, her comeback would be much more difficult.

Winter bit her lip and adopted a pitiful expression, her eyes welling with tears that did not fall. She looked at Ronald with a beseeching gaze. Ronald felt a twinge, but it was not out of pity. It was because he thought Winter was a born actress.

Her dramatics in real life were impressive. No wonder Charles had brought Noelle to watch this spectacle.

“In that case, I’ll give you half an hour. That should be enough, right?” Ronald said, glancing at his watch with a performative air.

Winter nodded vigorously. “Yes, that’s enough!” She hurriedly turned to her agent for the script.

Her agent was equally anxious. She mouthed, “I didn’t bring it!”

Winter froze, stunned and motionless for a moment.

Ronald raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, “What’s the matter now?”

Winter’s face was beyond description as awkwardness oozed out of her. She could only look at Ronald in embarrassment. “Mr. Wells, could I borrow the script? I left in a hurry and forgot to bring it.”
