Felicity understood who the "him" was referring to.Single people, like Felicity, obviously could not understand the thoughts of someone deeply in love like Stella. However, she was still happy seeing her best friend regain her confidence and positivity.The car arrived at the destination shortly. When Stella went inside, she thought she had gotten the wrong address. The so-called studio did not even have a storefront and only had a glass sliding door.On the door was the word "Wood" with a missing letter.Felicity whispered to Stella, "Did Daniel get scammed by the company? Why does his studio look so lousy?"Truth be told, it was not that lousy. However, for someone as reputable as Daniel, the studio seemed a little too plain.The two entered, and there was no receptionist by the door. While the studio was relatively spacious, there seemed to be few people there.Stella approached one of the people and asked, "Excuse me. Is director Daniel Wood around?"The person was holding
That woman lied through her teeth!Stella pulled Felicity back just as she was about to speak up."Director Wood, I thought you forgot about today's audition since this lady over here said you weren't coming just now."The woman's heart stopped and hurriedly wove an excuse for herself. "When did you come, Director Woods? I asked Cad, and he said you weren't in."Daniel's gaze took in the three of them, and he said faintly, "Come with me." Daniel took them to a larger office and asked the woman who had quarreled with them to step outside with him.Once the two got out, Felicity immediately took out her phone. Stella saw her checking her social media and murmured, "What are you finding?"Felicity replied, "The woman just now looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her. Let me check their group photos."She found the picture and exclaimed, "So, it was her!""Who?""Kelly Harper."Stella narrowed her brows. "This name sounds familiar.""She directed that brainless d
The Queen was one of the most brilliant characters in this drama. She bore disgrace and a heavy burden. On one hand, she had to endure the pain of sharing her husband with other women. On the other hand, she had to be generous as the mother of a nation. She could not bring shame to the palace even though she was in bereavement.She would have to always keep in mind her position, reminding herself that the King could not love people to numb herself. She kept her feelings at bay until she discovered that the King had fallen in love with the female lead. The belief the Queen had hung on to for many years collapsed, and the hatred from betrayal rushed in. She loved him but could not get him. Love to hate was the most significant charm of this character.Stella took a deep breath and got into character. Once she started talking, the people playing with their phones stopped and watched her. Stella was completely immersed in the role. With her every move, even without any props, everyone co
Stella was shocked. 'There were rumors that Bella was cast as the female lead of this drama. Or was that not confirmed?'Felicity was confused too. She heard the rumor from a group chat when a few people shared it. 'Some said Bella was going to act in Daniel's drama. Yet it was nothing after such a big fuss! Come to think of it, she was probably hyping it on her own and setting off the atmosphere. If she's not selected in the end, her fans will blame the production crew. And she'll gain another wave of popularity. What a great tactic!'Daniel pursed his lips after hearing who Kelly had recommended. "I've seen her work before."Kelly was delighted. "What do you think of her? If you think she's alright, I could contact her to come over immediately."Daniel replied coolly, "It's all techniques."Kelly thought Daniel was complimenting Bella until she heard him speak again. "She has no emotions. Her eyes were not even red after her tears were flowing."No matter how dense Kelly was, s
A few other people chatted with Daniel for a while before leaving. Soon, there were only Daniel and his assistant in the conference room. This contract was a standard template in the industry, but they had added two other conditions to Party B's obligations. One was to re-register a new Facebook account during the contract period to cooperate with the crew's publicity activities. The other was to not accept any other work during the promotion period. These two conditions were clearly addressing Stella's previous occupation.Dusk Galaxy was her trump card, and it should not be exposed that early. Stella had no opinion on the conditions. She had not taken any voice acting jobs for nearly half a year. Felicity pulled her aside just before Stella could sign the contract and whispered, "Stella, isn't the pay a little too low?"The pay in the contract was based on the entire drama. One drama before tax was two million, and the shooting period was one hundred and twenty days. The character
Stella bit her lip. "Don't exaggerate. Get him on the phone.""Stella, how could I lie about this? You can call him if you don't believe me. He's unconscious. How could he be on the phone? The two bastards yesterday were ruffians. They had knives and were ruthless with their strikes. If the police hadn't come earlier, Keegan's life would have been gone. I have never seen that much blood before."Stella was now slightly panicked. She was unconscious yesterday, so she did not know what had happened. When she woke in the morning, her sleeve had red-brown spots. She thought it was coffee at first, but maybe it was blood."Stella, come over now. I'm scared he won't make it." And then the phone call disconnected. When Stella called again, the phone was occupied. Keegan's phone was off, and it wrenched her heart.From the store, Felicity called Stella. Stella regained her senses and went inside to pay. She turned her head to Felicity and said, "Something happened back home. I have to go b
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from the door. "What are you doing?"Stella paused and turned her head slowly.At the door of the ward, Keegan was wearing a hospital gown, and his arm was in a sling. He looked at her expressionlessly, and Vermont was next to him in astonishment.Stella was speechless."Keegan!" Aurora rushed over. "You scared me!"After everyone asked, they found out Keegan was in Room 709 formerly. But the room had poor lighting, which he disliked. So, he switched to 704 in the morning. However, the hospital system still displayed 709 because they had yet to update the system. Hence, a big mistake was made.Finally, a little color was back on Dahlia's cheek. "What happened to your arm?"Vermont answered before Keegan could speak, "He helped the police to catch some guys and was accidentally struck by one of the bad guys last night. He was seriously injured and needed seven stitches!"'Seven stitches...' Stella felt a little sorry suddenly."Why didn't you
Dahlia, Aurora, and Albert surrounded Keegan's hospital bed. There was no place for Stella at all.Vermont said, "Aurora, go get some warm water. Keegan hasn't taken his medicine yet."Aurora frowned. "Isn't someone standing there?""Hey! You..."Vermont wanted to say something else, but Stella took the empty glass and said flatly, "I'll do it."Stella just did not want to stay here with these people.As soon as the door was closed, Dahlia asked, "What happened last night?""Nothing," Keegan said succinctly. "I ran into a few troublemakers while drinking, and there was a conflict.""What kind of conflict can hurt others in this way? Who hurt you? Where are they now?""Mom, I'll handle this by myself. So leave it alone."Dahlia was upset. "How can I leave it alone? Look how seriously you were hurt. It happened last night, and I only found out at noon today! If someone can take good care of you, I can rest assured. But you stay in the hospital alone for the whole night. Nobody
