Chapter 667
"You are..." "I'm here for the audition today. My name is Stella Jewell."
Stella cursed inwardly after introducing herself.
Tve gone through this when The Palace was still in production. Daniel wouldn't let me replace that
actress's role if nothing happened to her.
'I wonder if I would have the same luck now.'
Stella was not very familiar with Stuart. He used to direct theatrical and commercial films, and he won
many awards too. Stella figured that directors like him would probably hate it more when an actor ran
late to an audition.
As soon as Stella said that, Yasmine and Bella came out of the room.
Yasmine stood in front of Stella right when she saw her." You were nowhere to be found when you
were supposed to be here. So why are you making a scene now? You can't manage your time properly
at all! Mr. Winfield had decided to cast Bella as Lexi."
Stuart turned around and asked his assistant, "Who is this actress?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis assistant looked for Stella's information and said softly," She's a new artist from Elegant Media and
had never participated in any productions back then. She just finished filming a costume drama, but it
has not been aired yet. I think she also starred in a skit recently, earning herself some fame."
The assistant continued, "Bella came to the audition one hour earlier than you even though she's
already a superstar. What you did is just unacceptable. It's funny how Elegant Media actually
recommended both of them to us." To the assistant, Stella just could not be compared to Bella.
Bella crushed Stella in every aspect, whether fame, public persona, or the shows they had participated
in. Yasmine kept pushing Stella, and she got mad. Finally, Stella grabbed her wrist and said in a low
voice, "You should know better than everyone else why I’m late!"
Yasmine lifted the edge of her mouth and smiled coldly," How could you blame others when you don't
know how to manage your time?"
Stella did not want to talk to her at all. She shrugged her off and walked toward the director.
"Mr. Winfield, the audition is supposed to end at nine, and it's only eight fifty-two now. Eight minutes are
enough for me to prove myself. So please give me a chance."
Stuart looked at her from head to toe.
He only spoke after some time, "You heard what she said just now. We've already made our decision."
Bella smiled subtly.
The character design of the female lead, Lexi, in Stuart's drama was tailored to Bella. She was the best
at making herself look like a pitiful and vulnerable girl. She knew the role would be hers as soon as she
read the script.
She figured that Stella had the face of a sly person, so it was impossible for Stella to beat her just by
the way she looked.
Bella was waiting to see Stella's defeated face, but unexpectedly, Stella's expression did not change at
all. Instead, she flashed a smile.
"I'm not here to try out for Lexi, but Georgia."
Georgia was the second female lead in the drama. She would be Lexi's roommate, and she came from
a very wealthy family that everyone in her family loved. However, she could never perform better
academically than Lexi, and they shared a very tense relationship.
After that, Lexi would be paralyzed after getting drugged. A task force conducted an investigation and
made Georgia their main suspect. However, the case slowly got left behind as the task force could not

Lexi left the stage forever because she could not walk anymore, but Georgia made it to the
international scene and became a world-famous artist.
Georgia had the most complicated character design in the drama, and she had just as many scenes as
the female lead. They were looking for an actress from ages twenty to forty, and it was a rather
important role.
However, that role was too dark, so Stuart had difficulty deciding whom to cast. He sized Stella up
again after she mentioned it. She had a hint of haughtiness in her eyes and looked effortlessly elegant.
He had to admit that she fit the role very well.
He got interested.
"Can you dance?"
Stella replied carefully, "I went to a dancing class for a few years."
Then, Stuart turned his head and said to his assistant, "Give her the lines from the dancing studio
scene."
Then, he shifted his gaze to Stella. "I want to look at your basic dancing skills."
Stella could finally feel a little relieved. She was glad Stuart gave her a chance instead of directly
rejecting her.
Bella put on an unhappy look and flatly said when she walked past Stella, "Stella Jewell, you've got to
have real
