The Mercenary Queen Strikes Back (Lily Hastings) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Jace gulped down his nerves, forcing out a

laugh

He said, “Man, you really know your stuff! No wonder Sophia said you might actually have something to teach me

“She just had to push you onto me…”

Jace wasn’t on board at first.

Sure, he didn’t think he could actually lead a mercenary crew, but he was nowhere near pathetic enough to have his cousin hunt down a mentor for him.

He figured if he just watched a bunch of assassin and mercenary flicks to get in the mood, that’d be more than enough

He finally came face to face with Nova.

Although at first he’d let himself believe she might actually be similar to the mercenary leader he was supposed to portray. he quickly dismissed that unrealistic idea.

Even so…

“Maybe having her coach me will help me see things from a perspective no one else could give, Jace thought to himself.

That made him genuinely curious-what would Nova do next?

“Jace, why are you just standing there?

“Hurry up and get ready-your scene’s about to kick off.”

A middle-aged dude strode over, puffing on a cigar, beer belly/leading the way, jacket tossed over his shoulders.

He was on the shorter side, maybe five-three tops, but he sure moved quick for his size.

He clapped Jace on the shoulder.

But when he saw Nova, he couldn’t tear his eyes away, just staring right at her without a hint of shame.

“Mr. Chase, I’ll be right there!” Jace called out, tidying his clothes like he was reporting for duty.

Chase, the director, pointed his cigar toward Nova and asked, “Jace, is this your relative?

“She’s got that fresh, innocent vibe…

“Hey, sweetheart, ever thought about breaking into showbiz?”

As he spoke, Chase couldn’t take his eyes off Nova, staring at her so blatantly it was almost uncomfortable.

Normally, getting handpicked by the director and offered a shot at showbiz-that was the kind of thing teenage girls daydreamed about.

It was like butting the jackpot, who wouldn’t jump at a chance like that?

“Emph! She’s been playing it close to the vest this whole time, and now that she finally got her way, she now be feeling

Besides, Nova belonged in the shadows, where she called the suns and played by her own rides

She wasn’t the type to act out a fake personality just to win over an audience.

“Why? Seriously?”

Chase stood there, totally stunned.

He had spent nearly four decades in showbiz, and he’d seen actresses bend over backward- directors, producers, even investors-just to stand a chance.

All for a shot at a speaking role, just to get their face on screen.

Yet here was Nova, staring down a stroke of pure luck thought.

Everyone sucked in a breath like they’d just witnessed something unreal

Even Jace, Ryan, Kiki, and Lily all instinctively reacted, unable to hide their shock
