Can’t Win Me Back

“Lyse, stop flattering me. I’m not as good as my mom in embroidery.” Tatiana bit her lips softly as dimples appeared on her flushed cheeks.

Of course, she was over the moon to receive Alyssa’s approval. However, nothing could beat Sean’s compliments. She might not be able to sleep from the excitement.

“You took after Lyla’s talent in singing and dancing. On top of that, you’re great at arts and crafts. I’ll introduce you to a top fashion designer. You could collaborate across fields, and that would launch you to fame. That will help you to carve your path in the world of fashion design. What do you think?”

“Thank you, Lyse, but… I am more interested in an entertainment career. After all, I’m a student at the Solana Film Academy. I hope to become an actress after graduation.” Tatiana was soft–spoken and rather unconfident.

Lyla had endured bullying in the entertainment industry. So, Winston strongly disagreed with Tatiana’s choice to attend Solana Film Academy and enter the industry.

After that, Tatiana quit her studies in Grunsland. She came home to study at Solana Film Academy for half a year without Winston knowing.

In the end, he begrudgingly gave his approval. However, he added the condition that she would have to obey the family’s arrangement post–graduation. Otherwise, she shouldn’t claim that she was the daughter of Winston Taylor.

To realize her dreams, she needed to succeed in the entertainment industry. She wanted to change Winston’s prejudice against the profession and to wow him with her capabilities.

“I see. That’s your plan. Great. You have my full support in chasing your dreams!” Alyssa wrapped an arm around Tatiana’s shoulders with a glimmer of worry in her eyes.

She added, “Still, the entertainment industry can be rather predatory and exploitative. No one will look at a newbie with no money or connections. You can’t get a decent job.

“So, don’t be humble when you attend auditions. You only need one line on your résumé–the daughter of Winston Taylor! I guarantee that things will go smoothly for you!”

“I might upset him if I namedrop him, knowing he’s against my decision to be an actress. Tatiana found the suggestion a tad ridiculous.
