After Mila returned home, she immediately called Laila back and told her about the audition today. Generally speaking, if one was called off before the performance was over it meant the judges were dissatisfied, and there was a high chance one wouldn’t have a chance.

When she thought about how Laila had painstakingly chosen the script for her, Mila felt she had disappointed Laila and couldn’t help but feel a little upset.

“Mila, I was about to call you. Director said you performed very well. It was quite inspiring.”

“Then have they decided to pick me?” Mila asked in surprise.

“Very likely. It’s just that the investors of this movie want their own actress to play this role, but Director Zager doesn’t agree. He’s discussing it with them.”

Director Zager had a high reputation and status in the entertainment industry. He had directed several popular dramas in a row. Even if this investor withdrew his investment, other investors would come.

“I understand. Thank you, Laila.”

“You don’t have to thank me. You did a good job. Otherwise, Director Zager wouldn’t have used you no matter how hard I tried. Don’t worry. It’ll be great if you can join the crew, but it’s fine if you can’t. I’ll help you find other roles.”

“Alright.”

For this audition, Mila had already done her best. Other than eating and sleeping, she had been reading the script for the past two days. It was up to fate now.

…

A week later, Mila finally received the notice that she had passed the audition and could enter the production team soon.

At dinner, Mila told Chaucer she had taken a role and would be gone for about a month.

Chaucer nodded and didn’t have much of a reaction. He was the boss of Big Dipper Entertainment and knew she had passed the audition earlier than herself.

“You have to rest more at home. If you don’t know how to cook, just order takeout and make do. I’ll cook something delicious for you when I come back.” Mila’s voice was gentle.

Chaucer nodded. “Okay, don’t worry.”

“And I’ve hired someone to come to the house and take care of my flowers once every three days.”

Chaucer frowned. “I’ll take care of them for you. You don’t need anyone else.”

“Are you sure you know how to take care of flowers?” Mila looked at him in surprise. “Those roses and tulips are very delicate. When watering them, you have to water them along the edge of the flower pot. Generally speaking, you have to water them once every three days. If the weather is too hot, make it every two days. As for those succulents, they can withstand drought. You only need to water them once a week and not more often than that.

“And the gardenia at the door…”

Mila talked for a long time about taking care of flowers, but she realized Chaucer wasn’t listening at all.

“Chaucer, are you listening to me?”

“Yes, but I can’t remember.”

Mila was speechless. She said angrily, “Then what should we do? You can’t remember. Why don’t you let me hire someone to water the flowers!”

Chaucer pondered for a moment and said, “Why don’t we start a video call? You can then guide me to water the flowers.”

“Alright, it’s settled then.”

Mila nodded and felt that was a good idea, but this way, she would have to see Chaucer’s cold face every day.

The next day, Mila received a notice to join the production team. Rosy had already booked a plane ticket for her, and the two of them agreed to meet at the airport.

Laila was only working with Mila and another female actor right now. The latter was pregnant and had turned down all her work, so Laila put all her effort into Mila and decided to join the production team with her.

Mila had flown many times, but this was the first time she flew first class. The seats were bigger and more comfortable, and she could taste all kinds of delicacies. No wonder the bosses liked to fly this way. Not only was it a symbol of status, but it was indeed more enjoyable.

At this moment, Mila felt she was no longer invisible in the entertainment industry.

Three hours later, the plane landed smoothly. They pulled their suitcases out of the airport and got into the production team’s car.

Mila leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest. After a while, the car slowly stopped outside a large hotel. All the crew members and actors were staying there.

The three of them went upstairs together. Laila said, “Go back to your room and take a nap. When you wake up, I’ll take you out for dinner.”

“Alright.” Mila dragged her suitcase into the door, feeling tired. The hotel room wasn’t luxurious, but it was clean enough with all the necessary facilities. There was a poster of the production team on the table.

Mila opened the suitcase, put her own bed sheet on the bed, and hung her clothes in the closet. After that, she was so tired that she couldn’t keep her eyes open. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
