My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Before the staff could explain, Celeste broke free from their grip and spoke first, “Mr. Miller, I’m the 17th auditionee, Celeste. Please give me a chance to audition”

Zach looked her up and down, “Your information wasn’t on the resumes I received”

“My name is Celeste, I’m 25 years old, and I graduated from the University of F’s acting program in 2019.

“What works have you done?”

Celeste clenched her fists, her voice low, “None.”

“None” Zach was surprised, “Did you change careers after graduation?”

“No… Celeste hesitated before continuing, “Due to some personal reasons, I haven’t worked since graduation and have only performed in a few campus plays.”

“So you have no acting experience”

Celeste didn’t say anything, taking it as a confirmation.

“If you haven’t been in the industry for three years since graduation, why do you want to start again now?”

Telling someone like Zach, who’d seen it all, that it was because of a dream would be a joke. So Celeste told the truth, “I need money.”

Zach looked at her in surprise.

Celeste continued, “I also need a job that can be recognized to prove my worth. Mr. Miller, I’m asking you to give me a chance to audition and give the casting of this role another chance.”

Zach chuckled, “You’re young, but you’ve got quite the attitude. You don’t even have acting experience, yet you’re so confident?”

Celeste shook her head, “I just trust Mr. Miller’s careful selection of roles.”

Before Zach could respond, there was a noise from the room. He went back inside, and a moment later, he came out again.

As the door closed, Celeste caught a glimpse of a tall figure inside the room.

“Alright, I’ll give you this chance. Give her the script,” Zach glanced at the time, “You have five minutes to memorize lines and start your action. When you’re ready, we’ll start”

Celeste immediately focused and quickly went over the script.

The role they were competing for was the fourth female lead. The scene they had to audition was when the heroine discovered that her best friend was the one who drugged her, and they turned against each other.

Three pages of dialogue, with rapid emotional changes, were a real test of an actor’s skills.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of her flipping through the pages. Two minutes later, Celeste looked up and said, “I’m ready.”

Zach nodded, “Then let’s begin.”

Celeste looked up, and the previous calmness in her eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a weak and helpless appearance. As soon as she spoke, everyone present was stunned.

Celeste’s performance was absolutely mind-blowing. The minute she started, she was fully emotionally invested in the character. That fierce face of hers instantly turned into a pitiful and delicate one, with an indescribably hurt expression. It seemed like everything she said was the truth, as if she was the one being persecuted.

Zach’s expression turned serious, and he continued reading with his lips tightly pressed together.

Celeste’s handling of emotions was extremely meticulous. She was able to memorize all the lines in just two minutes, Moreover, her command of the lines was impressive even without acting experience.

There was complete silence until the performance was over, no one spoke.

Although Celeste was confident in her abilities, she knew that it was difficult to handle each emotion perfectly in such a short time. She did her best
