Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 103

The audition was scheduled for a week later.

Ophelia was going all out in her support for Eileen, brushing off all the boring business stuff that got tossed her way. She just wanted Eileen to focus entirely on studying the script, making sure she was ready for the audition in a week.

To keep Eileen from being distracted, Ophelia arranged for Janice to look after her, who cooked for her and cleaned up her place.

Basically, Ophelia wanted Eileen to steer clear of any trivial matters. She wanted all of Eileen’s energy to be geared towards the audition.

However. Eileen sent Janice packing on her second day there. Upon hearing this, Ophelia called Janice to inquire about what had happened. Janice was on the brink of tears. She said, “I saw some cardboard boxes on Eileen’s balcony and thought I’d help her get rid of them. But then Eileen said they were delivery boxes she was saving up to sell. I threw them away, and now I owe her money.”

The week flew by in a blink of an eye.

The day before the audition, Ophelia accompanied Eileen on a flight to Seahaven. The next day, Ophelia woke Eileen up early in the morning and personally took her to the audition site.

This was an in-house audition.

Upon entering the waiting room, Ophelia saw several people already there, alt top-tier newcomers in the industry. Some were chatting, others touching up their makeup.

The room went quiet the moment they walked in.

Ophelia, with her vast experience, wasn’t going to let this faze her. She turned to check on Eileen, only to find she was gone. Looking around, she saw Eileen had found a spot to sit, hands in her pockets, one leg crossed over the other. She was swinging her leg and sizing up the people across from her.

Eileen’s direct gaze made the newcomers avert their eyes one by one. They continued to talk and touch up their makeup, and the atmosphere returned to the previous chatter.

Ophelia walked over and sat down, lightly patting Eileen on her thigh. She said, “Put your leg down.”

Eileen complied, mumbling, “All these people, just for a supporting female role?”

Ophelia scoffed, “Who do you think is directing this movie? Not anyone can just work with Galen.”

The audition started promptly at ten.
