Chapter 103 Wrapped up (2/2)

Moreover, knowing Lexi's attitude, she must be beyond displeased inside her and she'd probably wouldn't give Abigail a chance to manage her again. Lexi didn't respond despite hearing the abrupt announcement. She remained in her seat for some time with her eyes closed; getting herself into character.

The staff kept bowing and apologizing to the other auditionees as each and everyone began taking their leave in great dissatisfaction. After all, it was very rude to halt the screening just because they thought they got the person fitted for the role.

Yet, they couldn't speak their minds afraid that if they spouted their discontentment, the consequences would be dire. After all, Arnold Shen was still an influential individual in the entertainment industry.

Soon, only Lexi, her manager Abigail Fan, Che Diayu and her lackeys were the ones left on the waiting area. It was obvious that Che Diayu purposely didn't leave as she wanted to flaunt her victory to her. In her little mind, Lexi's reason why she chose to stay was to try her luck and plead to give her a chance.

At the same time, Lexi finally opened her eyes and moves it to Abigail Fan's hands where sleeping Churu rests. After seeing that she was doing good, Lexi heaved a sigh of relief as she unintentionally turned her head to see the Che Diayu across her.

Blinking her eyes numerous times, Lexi's expression was blank yet filled with pure innocence despite her smart beauty. Seeing her eyes, Abigail Fan gaped her lips apart as she knew that the person beside her wasn't Lexi anymore but the lunar deity Chang'e.

”Tss,” Che Diayu scoffed as her assumptions in her mind were correct. She slowly stood and this time, she was more dauntless as she prepared herself not to back down if Lexi would threaten her again. Slowly taking strides towards Lexi, Che Diayu thrust her chin a little upward as she looked down on Lexi's innocent yet blank front.

”You should give it up -- there's no way you'd snatch the role from me even if you plead for a chance.” Che Diayu crossed her arms around her lower chest as she sneered.

”That's right, even if you get in character now, you're wasting your energy.” Lackey number one backed up with a ridiculing smirk as she looked down on Lexi as well. After her, the other lackey also chimed in.

”Sister Diayu, let her try… she seems desperate without the spotlight on her.”

”Well, I am only trying to save her ego -- we were friends before after all. But, if she really wanted to witness how they'd hand over the schedule for the role to me, then, suit yourself.” Che Diayu sneered as felt superior with a stronger resolve this time. Surely, she wouldn't stop even if Lexi' asked her to.

Unbeknownst to them, the door from the room where they'd be screened silently opened from the inside revealing a group of people.
