Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3128

Chapter 3128

Some of the investors were already nodding at Mia since the very beginning.

It was clear that she left a good impression.

Right after, Mia told them she was interested in trying out Princess Madeline's character.

The adjudicators' eyes glimmered in approval.

They had earlier on heard that the director had recommended a certain Ms. Rockford.

It seemed like she was really someone promising.

Their reaction made Mia feel confident.

She surveyed their expressions and was certain that she was just a step away from having her casting confirmed, but to her dismay, Adam still asked her to proceed on with the audition. She thought she already nailed it when all the investors looked impressed.

Even for her other projects where she was invited for an audition, it was just all for the sake of formality.

The directors had never really required her to compete for a role.

Mia was taken by surprise when Adam insisted on her acting at the audition, yet she quickly collected herself and accepted the challenge.

What's the big deal? it's just an entitled and pampered princess.

I'm gonna pull this off.

Mia played the princess naturally and she even altered some of the lines because she was so in the role.

"Do you want her or do you want me?" she projected her voice coquettishly with a shy face.

She pointed her shaky fingers into the empty space, imagining the male lead in front of her.

Her acting struck a jarring note.

All the judges-except for a plump middle-aged man-looked at her with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

They were far from being satisfied, especially Adam.

What is she doing? Madeline is supposed to be a powerful nation's princess.

She's not some girl next door! She's supposed to be talking to the enemy's son, who also happens to be the person she loves.

The panel stared at her speechlessly as she butchered the role.

"Ms. Rockford, please try out the lines on the next page of the script."

Although Adam was still talking in a polite manner, his patience was already wearing thin.

"Of course!"

Mia replied readily with a smile.

She thought she had already passed this scene. She took a deep breath to adjust her mood.

"Are you casting me aside now? Don't you know I'm a princess?"

As expected, Adam stopped her before she even finished acting out that scene.

"Ms. Rockford? You may leave first. We'll notify your manager in three days' time."

Mia was still totally clueless. She walked out of the room with her head held high, thinking she would get the role for sure.

As for Megan, she had no idea what happened in the audition room.

All she knew was that Mia came back out again far sooner than she expected.

"Don't try too hard, Megan, cause I'm gonna get the role"

Mia goaded.

Megan ignored her and read through the script again to make sure she understood the character clearly.

"Number 37 from Starling Media, Megan Rockford!"

Someone called out her name just as she was done reading through.

"Good luck getting another extra role,"

Mia said offensively as she walked away, making sure everybody could hear her.

As she planned, all the actors and actresses turned their heads toward Megan.

Megan went into the room without minding those people, but she was immediately taken aback when she got in.

All the directors and investors were seated neatly in a row, and they looked solemn and stern.

Am I in the right place?

"Hi, my name is Megan Rockford. I'm here to try out Madeline's role" she introduced herself softly.

She saw their facial expression darkened as she spoke.

This was because everyone was having a hard tire replaceing a suitable cast for this character, especially after Mia completely misinterpreted that character. This was not an easy character to play.

To most of the investors, they wanted to settle for just anyone popular to drive up viewership, but Adam was picky.

Megan knew he had his own set of criteria.

"Megan Rockford? Are you related to Mia Rockford?"
