NovelGoldBehind her, Cecilia walked over and noticed the sour look on her face. She frowned. "Thora, what's wrong? You don't look too happy." The actress-Thora Moreno-glanced at her. "Did you know Mr. Jordan gave Lila a major female-led ?" Cecilia nodded. "Yeah, I heard about it a couple of days ago. Are you thinking of auditioning? It's one of our company's own projects, so a few of us were planning to try it out. Ms. Hart is directing, and she's serious about teaching people. If you get the part, you'll learn a lot." "Don't bother. The female lead is already set, it's Jamie." Cecilia blinked in surprise. "It's already decided?" She paused, then smiled. "Well, none of us were aiming for the lead anyway. We're not at that level yet, and besides, the male lead is Michael. He's an A-lister at the peak of his career.
"Of course, they'd cast someone of similar status as the female lead. I just didn't expect it to be Jamie. That's a bit surprising." A trace of envy flickered in her expression.
Thora let out a sharp laugh. "Oh, con. It's just because she's the Lane Group heiress. Connections, that's all. How long has Jamie even been in the industry? "She doesn't have any real work to her name. Sure, she's a little more famous than us, but is Michael playing her supporting role? Seriously?" Cecilia glanced around in alarm. "Keep your voice down! You can't just say things like that." "What am I afraid of? It's the truth. Lila only got this job because she had Mr. Morgan backing her. Now, she's cozying up to Lane Group too. If it weren't for that, do you think Jamie would be getting this role?" She let out a soft snort.
Back when Lila refused to mentor her, she must have decided Thora wasn't worth her time-no connections, no background, no benefits to offer.
Always acts so gentle, so easygoing, like she's above it all. But in reality? She was just another power-hungry opportunist.

Cecilia caught the bitterness on Thora's face and decided it was safer not to respond.
Back in her office, Lila flipped through the script again, double-checking the third female role.
Since Magi Pictures was funding the project long as the actors be' suitable, she could prioritizing from within the company.
The third female role was well-written and likable, with plenty of screen time. If played well, it could stand out. Comparing the character to Thora, Lila had to admit she was a good fit.
After making up her mind, she sent Cedric a message.
She suggested they cast from within the company first. If no one suite Sound, they could cons actors from other agencies.
Cedric had no objections.
Lila then went through the script carefully a few more times, discussing character details with the screenwriter.
The production team was already preparing the sets, and after sdiscussion, they scheduled auditions for the tenth of next month.
She stayed busy in her office for most of the day.

Just as she finally had a moment to breathe, thinking about checking if Kieran had messaged her, Cedric burst through the door. "There was an earthquake in Portmere." Lila's expression turned serious. "We should donate first. Morgan Group—"
Cedric cut her off. "No, Lila... Mr.
Morgan's business trip he went to e Portmere. Before he even finished speaking, Lila's mind went blank, her ears buzzing.
Kieran went to Portmere? And Portmere just had an earthquake?
She didn't hear another word Cedric said. Her hands trembled as shem grabbed her phone and dialed Kieran's number. The ringtone kept going until the call disconnected automatically. No answer.
She immediately called Cole. Still no answer.
Cedric saw the color drain from her face and quickly tried to reassure et her "Don't panic Headquarters has sent a rescue team."
