Harry debuted in a talent show and emerged as the champion that year.
Skylar remembered that she actually voted for him via SMS and was caught by her grandmother. She
was even punished for it because it was a waste of money.
Then, Kate appeared at the audition. She had always been a busy person, the audition was no
exception. The first thing she did once she arrived was greeting the casting director of the audition,
asking him to give some extra care towards her two artistes. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
A great manager would always find a way to get their artistes some sort of special treatment in situations
like this.
For Kate, it was a simple task to accomplish with all the connections she had in the industry.
The Director, Vensa Roy, had directed quite a few popular series in the past few years. She even had a
title like The Mother of Drama Series.
During the audition, Skylar just sat there, quietly watching the performance by the other talents. Until
finally, her name was called. Hence, she put down the script and went on stage.
The part that she got was a difficult one. As the female lead, the family had gone bankrupt from a failed
business endeavor. Her father was hospitalized and her mother committed suicide because she could
not handle the situation. The scene was set in the funeral house where the female lead went to see her
mother.
Kate was at the side, thinking that Skylar had really bad luck because she got such an unlucky scene.
However, Skylar knew that the most important thing to show in an audition was her presence. No matter
what role she had, she needed to exhibit enough presence. Thus, Skylar imagined herself as a one of
those big celebrities that won multiple awards. That way she would have enough presence to outshine
the other competitors.
She took in a deep breath. I must succeed. Skylar needed to find a way to stand out in the entertainment
industry. If she ended up being some second-rate artiste, she would never be able to raise her head in
front of Tobias. Skylar needed to shorten the gap between them for their relationship to last.
If she stayed the way she was and let Tobias take care of her, he would eventually get bored of her.
Tobias had the means to find someone new for sure.
By then, Skylar would have nowhere to go and no shoulders to cry on.
She was really serious about all her relationships, so she wanted them to have a happy ending. It was
not that Skylar loved him deeply or anything of that nature, she just did not want to spend more time
getting to know someone new.
“This woman looks exquisite. Her beauty is literally breath-taking,” the director commented as Skylar
walked on the stage.
The casting director in charge agreed. “Indeed, that’s a unique yet extraordinary beauty. She’d do well
even just being eye candy in the industry.”
Skylar heard their comments loud and clear. I’m not here just so I could become some eye candy.
The scene she got needed her to express some form of tension and it was particularly difficult.
Once the director gave her the signal to start, Skylar took a deep breath and dived right in. On the stage,
there were some simple props. There was a white cloth covering a dummy on the floor that was
supposed to be the deceased mother. When Skylar pulled the cloth off, she saw a big smile right on the
face of the dummy.
Skylar suspected the director deliberately set this up to see if anyone would laugh.
On the other hand, Kate went and sat down with Amelia even though her eyes were on Skylar at all
times. “You did really poorly just now, the female lead should still have some pride in her even though the
family has fallen. You showed none of that just now,” Kate commented on Amelia’s performance.
Amelia explained to her that she did not have enough prep work done because of all the work she was
doing.
Her gaze was also on the stage as Skylar dropped to her knees. No skill nor eye drops were needed for
Skylar to start crying since she had a good control over her own emotions.
Amelia was displeased, so she complained to Kate. “Kate, I thought you only asked me to come for this
audition, why is she doing here? She can’t even act.”
Kate disagreed with Amelia. In her opinion, Skylar was talented and intelligent. She was a girl that grew
up with her now-deceased grandmother, her expressions and emotions would certainly be able to grab
the hearts of the people watching her.
