Chapter 547


    Skr was supposed to go for the audition for Pretty Detective at first, but Amelia managed to steal that


    spot through Kate after pictures of her were spread online.


    To add insult to injury, Skr was thest one to find out that Amelia had reced her as the lead


    actress of the show.


    The sky was already dark and gloomy before it was even noon that day as Skr and Kate sat across


    each other in a café.


    Their coffee had turned cold, and neither of them had touched their food much.


    “Why didn’t I even get a chance to the audition? I was originally chosen for the lead role, so why is


    Amelia the one holding it now?” Skr didn’t want to lose her role as a lead actress without even


    knowing why. She felt the need to bring it up with Kate or she could miss out on even more opportunities


    in the future.


    Kate has found herself a few new facestely, so Amelia and I are no longer the only celebrities working


    under her. Well, Kate was never the type to invest everything into a single celebrity to begin with. She


    wants toe out on top of the food chain in the entertainment industry, so having just one celebrity


    under her simply isn’t enough.


    Skr couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed as her efforts and preparations for the lead role had all


    been for nothing when Kate chose Amelia instead.


    “You were caught going on a date with some mysterious guy, and pictures of it went viral on the inte.


    As you know, the negative publicity was very damaging for your reputation. Amelia, on the other hand,


    has no such issue because she knows how to carry herself in public. Besides, I can’t have you hogging


    all the good stuff while everyone else gets the scraps now, can I? That wouldn’t be very fair to the


    others,” Kate replied.


    Skr took a deep breath and said, “You could’ve informed me sooner instead of after I havepleted


    all my preparations. I’ve been promoting myself as the lead actress for Pretty Detective all this while!”


    “The young really are green and na?ve, huh… Listen, nothing is truly set in stone until the veryst


    moment, got it? It’s your responsibility to prepare for the audition regardless of whether you get the role


    in the end. Surely you don’t expect to only do the audition for lead roles all the time, do you? The


    entertainment industry is a tough one to be in, so you’d better learn to deal with failure and


    disappointment if you wish to remain. Anyway, it’s gettingte, so I suggest you head on home now!”


    Kate said with a chuckle.


    Skr didn’t even realize how dark the sky had gotten until Kate mentioned it.


    She looked out the window and saw pedestrians dressed in thick sweaters and coats as they walked


    under the dim lighting of the streetmps.

    Kate offered to give her a lift, but Skr refused and insisted on waiting for her driver to pick her up


    instead.


    “The candidate for the Golden Eagle Goddess has been decided and is simply pending an official


    announcement. I found out from someone on the inside that we’re no match for Sophia’s poprity, so


    you’ll just have to try and boost yours to beat her next year,” Kate said before leaving.


    Skr wasn’t surprised by that as Sophia’s votes had always been in the lead since the beginning,


    thanks to her beauty and amazing works throughout the past two years.


    After waiting for what seemed like forever, Skr gave her driver a call to see why he had yet to arrive.


    The driver informed her that he was caught in the rush hour traffic which was worsened due to a car


    ident, so it would take him quite some time to get there.


    “May I sit here, Ms. Jones?” A voice came from the side, and Skr turned around to see a handsome


    young man in a white down jacket standing next to her.
