You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

“Sure, that works I guess.”

However, Justin did not sound particularly enthusiastic. His voice had given that much away.

Shermaine had a really bad feeling about the audition, especially since it concerned Clarissa. It seemed as if Justin had read into something else Clarissa conveyed, so what was this? Was Clarissa taking revenge? Anything was possible.

Shermaine walked up to Justin. They murmured something then walked out of the venue for some privacy.

Clarissa was not remotely curious. Since Shermaine was the last to arrive, it signaled the end of today’s auditions as well. She promptly left after Shermaine did.

That evening, Shermaine had dinner with Justin. Matthew and Jeremy were invited as well.

Matthew, however, did not show up.

Of course, Matthew’s presence was not important. Not all of them met Shermaine through Matthew, so they all got along just fine without him.

One of the topics that came up was the movie Justin planned on making.

“So, Shermaine. I heard you audition for Yates’ movie this time? However, since you’ve worked with him before, you won’t gain much since you’re familiar with him. Isn’t it better to expand your horizons and work for someone else? I hear there is a new director by the name of Charles or something.”

Shermaine and Jeremy were somewhat related but through distant branches of the family.

Justin was introduced to Shermaine via Matthew.

Everyone thought that her persistence with Matthew would eventually pay off, but who would’ve thought that someone else could succeed where she had failed. Shermaine had lost to an outsider, at that.

It had to be fate, who could argue otherwise?

Everyone also knew Clarissa. But nobody wanted to break the news to Shermaine since Matthew himself had not said a word about it.

Shermaine smiled. “Well, I like acting in Justin’s movies. Besides, we already have a good working relationship, so why would I want to make things more difficult? I’m going to support Justin as much as I can.

Shermaine sounded as if Justin had yet to cast a protagonist in his film.

On the surface, of course, it sounded as if it was just affection and genuine support.

Justin was never one to mince words. Even if they were in the presence of others, he always said what needed to be said.

“Shermaine, I don’t think the first lead suits you. The supporting role would be a better fit instead. That being said, this is still a supporting role, and maybe you think that you need not be playing something so small. So even if you turn it down, I’ll bear you no hard feelings. I just have to recast the role.”

Justin only said that she was unsuitable to play the role, but he left out how she did not perform as well as Yaala.

Shermaine’s expression darkened. The others then decided to jump in and change the subject to uplift the awkwardness from earlier.

“Shermaine, if it’s truly unsuitable, just let it go. I think you should pay attention to the finer details. If they want to cast someone chubby as the princess, it’ll definitely not work for you. At least, that’s how Justin described it. By the way, I have a decent drama coming up, maybe you can check that out!”
