Chapter 10

Lydia quickly returned to the hall. The judges were discussing her performance. She went back up to the stage, bowed, and waited for the judges to speak.

The casting director deliberately looked behind Lydia. Seeing that Marcel did not follow her back, he was slightly relieved. Then he began to ask Lydia about her various resumes and made comments on Lydia’s performance. Although the comments included suggestions for improvement, he was generally very satisfied with Lydia.

In the end, the director told her to go back and wait for further notice.

The tone that he used was completely different from that which he had used when he spoke to others. Lydia knew that she had probably landed the role.

She bowed and walked down the stage. However, when she stepped on the first step and was about to go down the second step, she suddenly could not lift her feet at all. Because she wasn’t expecting this, her body tilted, and she would have fallen right then if she had not learned martial arts when she was little. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably fall straight down, headfirst.

She looked down at the soles of her shoes and found out they were firmly stuck to the step.

Needless to say, in the entire place, only Irene Dunbar had a grudge against her.

She simply took off her shoes, turned around, squatted down, and used both her hands to pull the shoes off the ground.

Nourse quickly came over with a smile on his face. Seeing that she was pulling oon her shoes, he immediately understood what had happened. Nourse immediately called someone and said a few words, then said to Lydia, “Your performance was very good. The second female lead role should be yours. I’ve already asked someone to check the surveillance cameras to see who was playing the music. Oh right, I’ve also asked them to check on this glue.”

Lydia attached a few pieces of paper to the sole of her shoe to prevent it from sticking while she was walking. Then, she put on her shoe and could not help but blurt out, “Wasn’t it you who asked someone to play the happy music just now?”

Nourse was amused by this question. “Of course not. Did you think that it was a test given to you by Mr. Marcel?”

Lydia smiled awkwardly. It seemed that she had misunderstood Marcel. It was still his fault for always acting as if he wanted to provoke her.

Soon, the results of the investigation were out. It was Irene’s assistant who had bribed the sound technician, and the glue was also put there by the same little assistant.

Ha, it was indeed her. But she definitely did not expect Lydia to have had someone to help check the surveillance cameras.

Lydia said, “If such an artiste without any ethics were to be used, there would definitely be a risk for everyone working in the same studio.”

Nourse shook his head. “I didn’t expect Miss Dunbar to be as such. I will report these truthfully.”

“Thank you very much for today.”

“You’re welcome.”

Lydia had just walked out of Feiyan when Julie called. Lydia did not pick up the call, she called again later, but Lydia still did not pick up.

Just like that, Julie had made more than 20 calls, she called so much that Lydia could not even use her cell phone. She had no choice but to pick up the call.

Julie immediately cursed, “Did you fall into a pit? Can’t you see how many times I called you? Even if you got hit by a car, as long as you are not dead, you have to pick up my call within three seconds!”

Lydia had already gotten used to her attitude, so she lazily spat out a word, “Shoot.”

“Come back for dinner tonight, I have something to tell you.”

“I’m not free.”

“Not free?” Julie shouted in disbelief, “You have to come if I tell you to. Even if you’re in the hospital getting an IV drip, you have to get the needle out and rush over! Where do you think this is? Not everyone is allowed to step foot in here!”

“Not free. I’m hanging up.”

Lydia could roughly imagine how devastated Julie was.

She thought that her behavior would make Julie so angry that she would not want to call her again. However, she did not expect Julie to call again immediately after she hung up.

There was no other way to deal with this. Lydia gritted her teeth and placed Julie on her phone’s blacklist. However, before she even entered the subway, a series of calls from an unknown number started bugging her. This annoyed Lydia so much that she did not even have the time to scan the code and enter the subway using her phone.

Lydia decided to see what was going on tonight.
