NovelEnglishSkylar knelt on the floor, crying her lungs out with her head on the dummy as she choked. “Mom! Why
did you have to leave me? What’s going to happen to me now? What about Dad? Please just open
your eyes and look at me!”
Truth be told, Skylar actually had a reserved personality. But when she’s in front of a camera, it was like
she had an alter ego. She would become clumsy when moving around, so Skylar had to force herself
into acting mode.
She was crying a river at this point and her voice was getting hoarse. Her eyes showed nothing but
hopelessness.
With a performance that fully expressed the desperation and helplessness of the character, people that
did not know her would be shocked if they found out she was an amateur.
“And, cut!” The director gave the signal to stop. However, Skylar was still crying as she had gone too
deep into the character and she was still trying to calm herself. After about half a minute, Skylar finally

After that, she felt relaxed. She really wanted to succeed, but instant fame was not the way to go. It
required luck, albeit it being quite common in the industry, Skylar knew that her luck had never been
good.
“Not bad,” the director commented before Skylar bowed and got off the stage. The only thing left for her
to do after that was waiting.
It was like attending an examination, the results would only be announced after a few days.
Kate went down to talk to Skylar. Seeing that Skylar still had tears in her eyes, she took out a
handkerchief and handed it to her. Kate was quite satisfied with Skylar’s performance so she did not
hold back on her praise. “That wasn’t bad at all. I knew you’ve got talent in doing this. Your
performance just now was really eye catching. I’d say it was just as good as any of the professionals.”
Meanwhile, Amelia stood beside them, listening to Kate praising Skylar. Her displeasure was written all
over her face as she just lost half of Kate’s attention towards her.
Skylar smiled. “You’re being too modest with your compliments, Kate. When will they announce the
result?”
“Within the week. Are you nervous?”
“Not really. I’ll leave it all up to fate,” Skylar replied calmly.
After all, a lot of artistes had experienced failing in an audition. The only thing to do was to go for more
and keep trying. Continuous failure was also something artistes needed to go through.
After that, Kate asked Amelia to tag along and have dinner together, but Amelia refused. “You guys go
eat. I’m not really hungry right now, and I have a commercial I need to shoot later. So, I can’t eat.”
Kate noticed that Amelia was not happy, so she just let her be.
She smirked as Amelia was the fruit of all her pampering. Now she was getting a bit too prideful for her
own good.
Meanwhile, before Skylar could leave, the casting director in charged as well as director Vensa
approached them. Vensa handed her a piece of paper with a line on it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Can you read that for me?”
Reading lines was one of the best ways to test an artiste’s fundamental skills. For Skylar, her results in
the reading class had always been good. She was born with a good voice and her pronunciation was
natural and clear. People would definitely understand each and every word she said.
So, Skylar looked at the line for a minute and memorized everything.
Suddenly, her voice changed from her normal gentle voice into a raspy one. Her vibrant smile turned
cold as well. “Who did this to my father? I swear I will take back everything I’ve lost and trample those
who mistreated us under my feet! Even at the cost of my life!”
The line was not long, but Skylar’s performance was near perfection.
“You’re quite impressive, young lady. No wonder Kate is looking out for you. I see a bright future ahead
of you,” Vensa remarked.
Kate had a hint of pride in her eyes as she responded, “I’ve always had a good eye for talent. After you
go back, director, please do give Skylar some consideration. She has a few more big auditions lined up
so don’t miss out.”
