Taking a deep breath, Michelle decided to calm herself down before she picked up the call.


    "Hi, Selene. How are you doing?" She asked with the sweetest voice ever.


    If someone had seen the way she acted, they would have concluded that she had two personalities.


    Selene grimaced when she heard Michelle’s voice over the phone, goosebumps popping on her skin.


    "Hi Michelle, I’m doing fine. How are you too?" She asked back. Of course, she knew that Michelle wasn’t doing well. She could hear thetter breathing heavily in rage from the other side even though she tried her best to conceal it.


    ’Looks like someone is breaking their character,’ Selene thought to herself as a grin graced her lips.


    "I’m doing fine as well," Michelle replied.


    "That’s good. I was calling to ask you if you’ve seen the list of the roles we auditioned for. I got the female lead role, Queen Jammiah," said Selene, sounding so excited about the news that she wished Michelle would have nightmares about itter.


    Michelle clenched her fist in anger as she gritted her teeth. She internally wished she could punch Selene across the face, over the phone.


    She took another deep breath, trying to quench the rage that was flooding her system, but was unable to. She could only try her best to mask it but that option was failing her too.


    "Really? Why didn’t you tell me you auditioned for the female lead role, Selene? I was also auditioning for that role as well?" She asked, curious to know Selene’s reply.


    "You never asked, Michelle. I was waiting for you to ask but you didn’t seem to be interested in what role I was auditioning for," Selene replied without holding back. There was nothing Michelle could do to her other than curse at her. "I’m sorry you didn’t get the role you wanted though, but hope isn’t entirely lost. You got the role of the concubine, La Gunta," Selene added, her grin widening on her lips.


    Now she wished she could see Michelle’s expressions at the moment.


    Michelle frowned at first. She didn’t bother to check if she got a substitute role due to her rage. But still, she had wanted the role which Selene had stolen from her.


    She was an A-list celebrity, an actress, and a model who was known all over Radiantia and was starting to get internationally famous too. She couldn’t believe Selene, who was a rookie and hadn’t acted in her movie yet had stolen her role right under her nose if she didn’t do something behind her back.


    ’She must have slept with one of the judges for benefits,’ Michelle concluded in her thoughts.


    Since director Jeunes was the one in charge of the production of the movie, she believed that it was director Jeunes, Selene who must have slept with.


    "Michelle, are you still there?" Selene asked when she noticed that the other side of the line was too quiet.


    Michelle came out of her thoughts and replied immediately, "Hmm, yes, I saw."


    "Great then! It’s a good thing they decided to add you in the movie still. Alright then, I will be going back to my script reading. Take care of yourself, Michelle," Selene smooched over the phone before she hung up the call.


    When she heard the beeping sound, she jumped up again in excitement as she screamed out loudly, loving every moment she used to y with Michelle.


    "YAHOOOOOO!"


    On the other side, Michelle kicked her chair away, not caring if any of the Wace members saw her actions.


    "That bitch!!" She cursed, walking back to her room.


    Richard was in the room, ying with his video games as usual when he saw Michelle storm into the room like a bull chasing a red g.


    "Why do you look so upset? Who annoyed you this time around?" He asked her, his attention still on his screen as he continued to y his game.


    Selene snorted before she replied, "Can you believe that the role I went to audition for two days ago, I lost it? And guess who got the role?"


    Richard frowned, suddenly regretting asking her what was the cause of her soured mood.


    "Who was it?"


    "It was Selene."


    Richard immediately paused his game as he turned to look at her.


    "Which Selene?" He asked her, eyes widened in shock.


    Michelle gritted her teeth in anger since it seemed that Richard intended to add fuel to her anger.


    "How many Selene do you know? I’m talking about Selene Jones, you deadbeat. Selene Jones, who looks like Anastasia!" She barked at him.


    A smile graced Richard’s lips as he asked, "Wow! If she got the role instead of you, that could only mean that she’s better than you, doesn’t it?"
