The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 72

Yvonne was flipping through the script, and the more she read, the more her fingers itched to jump in.

Stirling, as a Grand Slam Best Actor and a superstar heartthrob, always got his hands on

scripts from top–notch production teams. For someone with her experience, landing a leading. lady role would be a piece of cake.

If Stirling would take her under his wing, she would be strutting around showbiz like she owned. the place!

But she wasn’t sure if Stirling would be down for letting her play the lead.

If he agreed, getting some clout would mean the Schnabel family wouldn’t look down on her so easily anymore!

Clutching the script, Yvonne walked up to Stirling’s study with hope in her heart. “Stirling, you in there?”

Stirling was deep in discussion with Palmer about how to tackle the Lambert and Rosenberg families. Yvonne’s voice made him frown.

“Don’t bother me.”

Yvonne–pushed the door open, looking all pitiful at the entrance, only to catch a glimpse of Palmer chilling on the couch with a coffee!

“Palmer, what are you doing at our place?”

Palmer didn’t even spare her a glance; he just picked up the Lambert family’s personnel files Stirling had prepared and said coolly, “I brought Noella back. She’s resting. Ms. Schnabel, keep it down, will you?”

Noella! Always Noella!

“Yvonne, what do you want? If it’s nothing, leave. Mr. Pollack and I have business to discuss. and you shouldn’t be here.”

Although Stirling wasn’t too kind to Yvonne, with Palmer, a third party, in the room, he didn’t want to embarrass her.

“Stirling, I saw your script downstairs and thought I’d bring it up. It’s really interesting. Can I give it a shot and audition for a role?”

Her, acting? Getting into the entertainment industry?

Stirling’s gut reaction was to shut it down, but seeing Yvonne’s pale face from a recent dunk in the water, coupled with the fact she hadn’t eaten all day, looking all kinds of pitiful, he bit back the scolding on the tip of his tongue.

“Stirling, just let me have a go; I promise I won’t disgrace the Schnabel family.”
