"Hmm," Jay answered.
"What a pity! I thought so highly of her that year," Hailey added.
She was an experienced elder, and she was also considered an artist in performance. For her, her fame and honor in the entertainment industry were no longer important now. She sincerely hoped to see new power rise to support the entertainment industry instead of those famous young stars who had no acting skills at all.
Jay then ignored her.
He glued his gaze on Zoe, and he could not avert his gaze at all until Zoe's performance ended.
She bowed to the audience and judges before she turned around to leave the stage.
"Please stay, Zoe." The host suddenly went up the stage from backstage and stopped her.
That session was not included in the previous rehearsal.
The actresses who needed to answer questions were informed beforehand. She was sure that she did not receive such a notice.
However, she still paused and faced the host, judges, and audience.
"Everyone is very surprised to see you on this stage. What was the reason that you left the entertainment industry temporarily back then?" The host's first question was too sharp.
It might be because they were afraid that she would not be willing to accept such an interview, so they did not inform her beforehand.
Zoe had long lost her previous temper when she was in the entertainment industry in the past. Now she was very grateful to be back. Of course, she would not resist the only benefactor who could help her now. Besides, she could not show a long face in front of so many spectators.
She smiled and answered, "I was young and vigorous that I did some impulsive things back then. That was why I left."
"What impulsive things?"
"It's my private affair, but I've reflected on myself after calming down for three years and have now turned over a new leaf. If the entertainment circle gives me a chance, I'll cherish this stage well." Zoe sounded sincere.
