Chapter 3129
A man's severe voice came from the middle of the row after Megan's self-introduction.
Beside him, Adam did not even lift his head to look at her.He seemed like he could not wait to get it over with.
"I'm Mia's older sister." Adam finally looked up briefly.
"Didn't we say we're not casting rookies?"
The investors were unhappy about it.
They felt this was a compromise of their production quality.
They cast their questioning glare at Adam, wondering what he was thinking.
Their reaction was understandable.
Megan did not have an appearance that stood her out among the others.
Besides, Mia's performance did not give the judges a good impression.
"Ms.Rockford, I think we're done for the day.You may leave now.We'll let you know the result soon," Adam suddenly said.
He did not seem keen on letting Megan have a go.
Megan was dumbfounded.
If they had already predetermined a candidate, Megan could totally understand why Adam asked her to just give up, but they were the ones who asked her to come in.
To the director, he might have the luxury of choosing from a pool of talents, but to Megan, this was her only chance, and she would not give in so easily.
"Three minutes.Give me three minutes, Mr.Kennedy."
There was no legitimate reason for Adam to deny her a small favor like this, so he relented.
"Make it quick."
Adam disregarded the disapproving glares of the investors and waved his hand dismissively to hurry her up.He actually did not want to give her another chance, but somehow, he could not resist her compelling gaze.
Maybe the two sisters are really different.
Adam was far from being disappointed.
Everyone held their breaths in astonishment when they saw Megan's sudden change in expression as she got ready to play the role.
"Madeline..." one of the investors blurted out without even himself realizing as he watched Megan closely.
Megan was so immersed in the role she did not even realize someone coming on stage.
Time went on as she waited for the prince to reply, but her wishful anticipation waned off as the man stayed silent.
Her face gradually turned cold and heartless until she looked back up at him again.
The glimmer of hope subsided in her eyes as she drilled her icy glare into the prince.
"Are you casting me aside now? Don't you know I'm a princess?"
Madeline was not looking for an answer, but rather, she was reminding the prince who he was dealing with.
"Bravo! Bravo!"
Adam stood up and applauded.
It was not that there were no other actresses who managed to pull this off, but their take on this scene was totally different.
All of them saw this as a hopeful scene, but not Megan.
