The director was dumbfounded when he laid eyes on Angeline. He immediately noticed her slim figure and ethereal beauty that made her resemble a flower that had just bloomed.
After a very long time, the director teased Josephine," This is the supporting actress you found me? Whether it's her appearance or her elegance, this supporting actress is going to crush and suppress the lead completely.”
Angeline smiled calmly. "If you think I'm not a suitable candidate, then that’s fine. I'll just find another job."
The director was drawn to Angelina's calm and casual temperament, saying, "What's your name, young lady? You're born to be an actress. Look, why don't you go get changed and prepare for the audition? I'll talk to the management afterward and make you the lead.”
Angeline thought for a moment and replied, "J. Harts."
J. Harts, as the name suggested, was derived from Jay's sweetheart.
Josephine's eyes widened as she gave Angeline a thumbs up. "That’s a pretty good stage name."
Angeline found it difficult to digest the free lunch that
she had just gotten.
Josephine took Angeline's hand excitedly and dragged her into the fitting room, saying, "You're really lucky, Sis Angeline. Back then, I started with a small role and gradually made my way up to the lead role. Look at you! You're being offered the lead role with just your appearance alone."
Angeline said with a smile, "It's still not decided yet, right? Besides, I’m thinking if I should discuss with your brother about the role change?"
Josephine quickly waved her hands. "You mustn't tell my brother, Sis Angeline! If that old-fashioned man knows that you’re going to be the lead, he will probably carry you home from the set."
Angeline mulled it over and thought that it was not the time to inform Jay yet since the final decision had not been made.
When Angeline was done getting changed and came t o the audition's venue, the other actors’ tongues began to wag when they saw her in the lead actress' outfit.
"Didn't they appoint the lead already? Why is she here to audition for the lead?"
The director handed a script to Angeline and informed her, "Pick a scene, J. Harts."
Angeline casually flipped through the script and ultimately picked the famous scene where death parted the male and female leads.
When the director shouted to start the audition, Angeline got in character immediately.
