My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 23:

Then, Carrie’s gaze lifted to meet Lise’s.

By some twist of fate, Lise was already staring back at her.

Their eyes locked, and a subtle smile played on Lise’s lips.

Just then, a staff member holding a clipboard called from the door, “Number 7, Carrie Campbell, you’re up.”

Carrie tucked away her script and rose to her feet.

Approaching the door, she halted and spoke with composed irritation. “It feels like I’ve wandered into a gathering of fortune-tellers, where everyone seems to judge acting skills and star quality merely from appearances. Sure, good looks might not carry much weight, but I’ll take the compliments regardless.”

Typically, Carrie paid little mind to her looks, but today’s constant comparisons with Lise grated on her.

With calculated spite, she added, “Actually, I find your envy more flattering than any admirer’s praise.”

With a poised exit, Carrie departed alongside Ruby, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded and mute as they watched her leave.

In the audition room, as Carrie entered alongside Ruby, both the director and the screenwriter were instantly mesmerized by her allure.

Surrounded by the industry’s dazzling array of talent, Carrie still managed to shine exceptionally.

Her beauty was not just vivid and striking but was paired with an effortless grace that rendered her almost celestial.

She was the living embodiment of the heroine from the screenplay.

The screenwriter, with a laugh, remarked, “It’s as if our heroine has leapt right off the pages—pity the author missed this moment.”

Ruby, catching the excitement in his voice, gave Carrie a gentle push, signaling her to step up for her audition.

After a succinct introduction, Carrie poised herself to dive into her role.

Just then, Stewart Lopez, the confirmed male lead, made an unexpected entrance. “I’ll be joining you for this audition,” he declared confidently.

Though the surprise startled her for a second, Carrie’s sharp instincts kicked in, and she adjusted effortlessly.noveldrama

It dawned on her that the production team might have orchestrated this surprise to test the auditionees’ resilience and adaptability.

With this insight, Carrie collected herself swiftly.

The much-awaited audition began with an air of excitement.

Almost instantly, Carrie slipped into character, matching Stewart’s intensity with her own.

Their undeniable chemistry radiated, and their interactions flowed effortlessly.

Stewart, impressed by her quick wit, shot a quick look toward the director and improvised a line, stirring up a conflict in what was meant to be a gentle conclusion of the scene.

Carrie hesitated for only a brief moment before gracefully pulling the scene back on track, turning what might have been a slip-up into a shining moment for the plot.

“That’s wonderful! That wraps up the audition!” Overwhelmed by her performance, the director rose from his seat behind the camera, clapping enthusiastically. “Despite Stewart’s attempts to complicate matters, Carrie’s sharp and quick thinking truly shone through. It was superior to the original script. Perhaps we should consider rewriting the script to include this brilliant improvisation?”
