Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 244

The semifinals for Evergreen's auditions hadn't required contestants to attend an audition in person. Instead, they uploaded their photos and videos to Evergreen's website for the audition.

The organizers would then also upload the contestants' preliminary videos, and the judges—Evergreen's higher-ups—would score them directly. The top 20 contestants, based on scores, would make it through.

Since Samantha was the top student in the Department of Drama, her classmates naturally had high expectations of her.

However, Samantha shook her head. "Not yet…"

At that moment, she remembered the call she'd missed when she was leaving the subway. She wondered if it was from the organizers.

Chione smirked coldly when she heard that.

"After all, there are over 100 thousand contestants and only 20 spots. Not everyone can make it."

But some classmates still tried to comfort Samantha.

"Chione just got her call too, so maybe yours is coming soon."

"Yeah. Maybe it'll come through any minute now."

Chione confidently spoke up. "The calls are made in order from highest to lowest scores. When I got my call, they told me I was ranked 20th. If you didn't get a call, that means you didn't make it."

"Well, it looks like there's no hope then."

"Samantha, when did you get that injury on your forehead? Maybe that's why you didn't make it. What unfortunate timing."

"Your performance was great that day, though."

Hearing this, Samantha's classmates felt sorry for her, but they were still quick to praise Chione. "Chione is amazing! We're lucky Chione made it; otherwise, we'd have been beaten by the other class."

"I heard the contestant from the other class was 18th, so it was a close call."

"Considering all the artists, making it to the top 20 is already impressive."

"Exactly!"

"I have class."

She wasn't sure if Leonardo had suddenly remembered to scold her after forgetting to do so earlier. With her already feeling down about not making it to the finals, the last thing she needed was another lecture from him.

If he started mocking her now, she was afraid she might lose it and not be able to focus on class.

Leonardo wrote, "Pick up the phone!"

The message left no room for negotiation.

Samantha bit her lip, still wanting to refuse. Yet, after a moment of hesitation, she decided to answer.

What else could she do? She might as well bite the bullet. So, she dialed the number back.

On the other end, Leonardo's voice came through. "Samantha."

She hummed in response. Just hearing him say her name made her nose tingle for some reason.
