<b>Chapter </b><b>36 </b>
Mandy’s face couldn’t contain her irritation, and her brow furrowed in frustration.
Dora strolled over to the couch and sat down, uttering with an eerie tone, “Oh dear, what’s going on? Didn’t you just say the female lead is <b>you</b><b>? </b>Howe Mr. Lane is waiting for Laura for the audition now? Could it be that you were simply getting ahead of yourself?”
Mandy was taken aback and clenched her lips.
Annie looked displeased and reprimanded, “Be more polite when you speak to my daughter!”
Rolling her eyes, Dora responded, “Of course, Your Highness. No problem at all, Your Highness. Your Highness, you should hurry and leave. Don’t <b>reveal </b>your crystal heart before the results are announced!”
Fuming, Mandy tightened her fist and plopped down on the couch. “I’m not leaving. After all, I’ll be the female lead. She definitely won’t <b>get </b>chosen<b>. </b>I’ll
wait right here!”
Dora let out a snort. “Then go ahead and wait. L is born to be the female lead in the Mary Sue ys. The role is undoubtedly hers. My judgment couldn’t go wrong.”
Laura stood nervously before the group of adults<b>, </b>fidgeting her hands on her dress.
Lawrence’s eyes lit up the moment he saw her. He couldn’t contain his admiration. “Hey, little girl. Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?<b>” </b>
Laura trembled slightly and spoke softly. “Yes, Director.”
Lawrence broke into a smile. “Don’t worry. You don’t need to be nervous. I know it’s your first time acting, but I feel that your demeanor and the way <b>you </b>cry are exactly what I imagined for the female lead. So, I’d like to invite you to act in a role for me. If you do well, I’ll give you some candy. How does <b>that </b>
sound?<b>” </b>
The staff looked at Lawrence as if he were a ghost.
“How could he change his demeanor so quickly?” they wondered.
Just a moment ago, he had a sour expression the whole time, seeming displeased with all the young actors. He looked like Cindere’s stepmother.
And now, he switched to apletely different attitude, bing like Fairy Godmother.
He even offered candy. It was like pampering a princess.
Laura traty lived up to her reputation as a captivating contestant.
Lawrence turned to Jackson. “Get Robert here. I want him to meet Laura, the young heroine I’ve chosen, and let them rehearse together<b>.” </b>
Jackson nodded and sent a message to Robert.
In the lounge, Robert received the message and furrowed his brows.
The manager, assessing his expression, tentatively asked, “Mr. Lane wants you to rehearse with his selected young female lead?”
Robert sighed and tapped his phone with displeasure. “Yes, I really don’t understand why he insists on choosing an amateur. <b>This </b><b>is </b><b>a </b>great <b>script</b>, <b>but </b><b>he </b>just has to choose an amateur to act in it. What if she messes up?”
His manager responded, “He’s a renowned director, after all. Each film he makes is a hit, and he’s very picky about <b>the </b><b>roles </b>They <b>must </b><b>match </b><b>his </b>expectations. Geniuses often have quirky temperaments, and Mr. Lane is persistent to the core.”
Restlessly, Robert stood up. “Then just let him be. If it were up to me, I’d choose the previous young actress for <b>sure</b><b>. </b><b>This </b>girl is just <b>an </b><b>amateur</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>her </b>acting definitely won’t cut it.”
Then<b>, </b>he entered the audition hall.
Upon spotting him, Mandy in the waiting hall straightened in surprise, watching Robert’s back disappear through the <b>door</b>.
She pondered, “Isn’t he the leading male actor? He’s here too? Then why didn’t hee to my audition just <b>now</b>?”
Dora called out, eximing, “L is really different. The male lead personallyes to assess anyone else has had the honor.”
her, the young heroine, during the <b>audition</b>. I wonder it
I’m <b>the </b>real <b>female </b>leadi
Mandy’s breath caught for a moment, and she red fiercely at her. “What’s so special about it? She won’t make it anyway. I
Robert entered the audition hall with an exhausted look and walked directly to Lawrence. “I’m here,”
Lawrence’s expression brightened. “Robert,e rehearse with our little girl here. This is Laura Yale. What a coincidence, you both share the <b>same </b>surname!”
Robert paused and turned around, looking behind him.
Laura blinked her eyes in a simrly bewildered manner as she gazed at him.
There was a fleeting moment of stillness in the atmosphere.
A sudden jolt struck Robert’s heart.
He muttered with shock, “This kid… Her face… Why does it resemble my brother–inw, Antonio?”
