?Chapter 476:


    Today, Madison apanied Elyse to the audition.


    Observing the bustling scene, Madison was in awe of the fame Lena, the renowned author, had achieved. Rumor had it that several acimed actresses were trying out today.


    Though Madison publiclyplimented Elyse, inwardly, she wasn’t quite as optimistic about Elyse’s chances.


    Madison said, “We need to get moving. The auditions are about to begin.”


    In the CEO’s office at Starlight Studios, Francesca sat on Devonte’s desk, her voice bubbling with excitement. “Devonte, did you just say that Lena ising here to deliver a script?”


    Devonte had identally revealed this, and now Francesca wouldn’t stop questioning him.


    Lena usually avoided the spotlight and kept a low profile. Throughout the years, Lena had been the writer while Devonte took on the director’s role. It was a rare asion even for him to see her face to face. If he let Francesca meet Lena without prior approval, Lena would definitely be furious!


    With an exasperated tone, Devonte said, “Francesca, really, you need to go! I never said that. You must have heard wrong.”


    “You definitely mentioned it!” Francesca was not one to be easily fooled.


    Francesca was a passionate and loyal fan of Lena’s work. Back in her school days, she would often sneakily read Lena’s novels in ss, going over each book several times. Her home housed a collection of Lena’s limited edition books.


    Before stepping into the world of entertainment, Francesca had aspired to be a renowned novelist like Lena. She had even attempted to write her own book but soon realized it was too difficult, acknowledging herck of writing skills, which led her to switch to the entertainment industry.


    Francesca came here both to audition and to visit Devonte, as her brother knew Devonte. She had not anticipated stumbling upon such exciting news. That was Lena, her idol! She couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet her idol.


    With a pout, Francesca sweetly begged, “Devonte, I caught every word. Don’t pretend otherwise. I promise I’ll keep it a secret and not stir up any trouble. Just let me catch a glimpse.”


    Francesca lifted a finger and added, “Just one quick look. I won’t make Lena feel uneasy. Please!”


    ???? ??????? ?? ?????????.???


    However, Devonte remained firm. He rose from his office chair, pulled Francesca to her feet, and guided her toward the door. “No way, enough of this! Don’t you have an audition? The director’s waiting for you downstairs. You need to head out now.”


    He was serious. Clearly, hecked the authority to grant such a request without Lena’s approval.


    Devonte hit the elevator button. While smiling encouragingly at Francesca, he kept pressing the button to close the doors. Outwardly, he said, “Francesca, best of luck! You’re sure to nail the role of Rylee!”


    Internally, however, he was eagerly waiting for the elevator doors to shut. After Francesca left, Devonte let out a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to send the pesky little troublemaker on her way.


    As the elevator descended, another one arrived going up.


    Upon spotting Devonte, Elena stopped short. “Did you know I just arrived?” she asked.
