Chapter 301
Stella sat at the desk by the full-length windows for the last time and stared down at the bustling streets below. Sighing, she said, “I’ll probably try out acting.” “Acting?” Yvonne stared at her, wide-eyed. “Are you for real? You want to be an actress, but your skills don’t seem to match!”
“I tried out for an audition previously and the director found me talented and cast me. I haven’t had the time to update you…” Stella looked at Yvonne with affection, “All along…you’re the only one who’s treated me well and helped me genuinely. I will definitely remember everything you’ve done for me. I know that what I say now might sound fake and an empty promise, but in the future, if I have the ability, I will never reject you if you ever need my help.” She looked into Yvonne’s eyes.
Yvonne was stunned for a moment before tears began welling up in her eyes. “Why are you making this sound like you’ll be gone forever?”
“I’m sorry…” Stella chuckled, “I’m just afraid I won’t have the chance to say something like this again…”
“What nonsense! Even if we no longer work together in this training center, we still have many chances to meet! Oh yes, which cast did you join? I’ll visit you frequently.” Stella pondered about it and thought it better to tell her the truth, “It’s Bradley Lane’s new movie which just began filming. They are currently framing the scenes in Fern City.” Realization dawned upon Yvonne. “I know that movie! Bradley is pretty well-known in the scene and has a good reputation in the industry.”
Stella nodded.
After a moment, Yvonne recalled something. “Hang on! I just remembered that Guinevere is the female lead of the movie, isn’t she?”
She stared unblinkingly at Stella, slightly shocked.
Stella’s body turned slightly stiff as she nodded after a moment’s pause, “Yes. But, she hasn’t entered the cast just yet…and we haven’t met so far.”
With her slow, stuttery response, Yvonne knew that Stella still hadn’t gotten over things.
