Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 673

"The more famous I become, the more anxious I feel. I'm afraid that my future works won't satisfy the audience, so I've become reluctant to take on new scripts."

Kaylee never expected that The Golden Ages would achieve such impressive success.

It was worth noting that she had only been introduced to audition by Violeta.

The audition clips had been entirely improvised on her part.

In those early days, she was merely a struggling third-tier actress in the entertainment industry, and now everything felt surreal, almost dreamlike.

Rather than bringing her happiness, fame has made her more cautious and reserved.

"Since I started my career, I've always considered myself an ordinary person. Sometimes I would even go grocery shopping alone. But now, when I get home, I find paparazzi trailing me in cars. It's terrifying."

"Kay, you're still in the adjustment phase. Just give it some time, things will get easier."

Kaylee shook her head. "I don't think I can adapt to this, so I've accepted a few theater roles to give myself some time to reflect."

Experiencing the pinnacle of success was enough for her.

It was better than never having tasted fame at all.

Violeta replied, "That's not bad. You've always wanted to act in theater."

Kaylee smiled. "I'd also love to teach students someday, haha. I wonder if that opportunity will come my way.

"By the way, Violeta, have you noticed that Evelina seems to be making fewer public appearances lately? I heard she's been hospitalized. What's going on?"

Violeta replied, "Yes, ever since her last break, Evelina hasn't returned to work. Something must have happened, it's likely a health issue that put her in the hospital."

Kaylee added, "I remember seeing her last time. She was practically skin and bones."

Violeta said, "I can't say for sure, but it probably isn't something minor."

Kaylee pondered for a moment, but couldn't come up with anything. She spread her hands and lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling and muttering, "Violeta, I'm thirty—an age I once couldn't imagine reaching."

Violeta turned to her with a warm smile. "Is it bad?"

Kaylee sighed. "Time flies by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday we were students practicing tennis together. Lately, I've realized that life is speeding up even more. Maybe it's because I've been so busy that I hardly have time to enjoy it.

"I've heard that the hot springs in Haland are great. How about we plan a trip there sometime?"
