Chapter 31 Humiliated

Lillee waited for others to shun Tinsley but she was soon showed the opposite because everyone act as if Tinsley wasn't the one who tried to snatch Conrad back then

"Did you need a script or something before you act? It's behind you." Director Martin spat out in irritation because all Lillee did was stand still, absentminded all along as if they were there for her alone. Lillee's frown turned ugly, she had said earlier that she was a big fan of White Tigress, won't it be a huge slap on her face if she turned back to pick up the book?

Lillee's eyes met with Tinsley's lips that curved up sinisterly as if she was mocking Lillee.

Lillee was filled with anger and she turned toward Jarek as if to complain that she was being bullied by Tinsley but she froze when Jarek leaned toward Tinsley's side and whispered something to her ear which made Tinsley laugh. They have such...

Lilee's eyes reddened in fury. What the hell did Tinsley do in seven years that made her a bestseller writer and made her have a close relationship with Jarek?

"Are we having an audition with a statue or something, if you're not ready then go out?" The casting director yelled harshly at her.

They were all suppressing their anger because none of the people that they'd been auditioning were up to the role but Lillee who began to look at them without saying anything seemed to be the worst among all contestants.

"I'm sorry. I was out of it." Lillee bowled with red eyes as if she had just been bullied by them but none of them paid her attention.

"Action!" The casting director said and Lillee quickly picked up the book.

Before Lillee could say her line, she heard a beautiful laugh, "Haha. White Tigress's fan indeed." Tinsley said which made Lillee almost glare at her but knowing she had to win this role, she swallowed her word, thinking she'd deal with Tinsley later.

Lilee's eyes suddenly reddened and she looked at the judges aggrievedly. "I didn't do it." She yelled while trembling to herself. Her fingers were shaking and she showed a bullied expression. "Cut!" Tinsley muttered, which made Lillee look at her with a frown.

"The female lead is a strong lady, what do mean by trembling and showing a bullied expression? Even though she was at her wit's end, Marie would never bow to anyone. Please do it again." Tinsley said and leaned back on the chair leisurely.

Lillee almost strangles Tinsley's neck. Tinsley is purposely doing this to humiliate her in front of President Jarek right? Lillee thought but she took a deep breath and steeled her expression.

"I didn't do it," Lillee said in a cold voice. "I hate her and..."

The director and the people present almost yell at Lillee due to the anger coursing through them. Didn't you claim to read this but you couldn't even act on that simple line? What the hell is this? "Actress Lillee," Aldean leaned forward with a blank stare.

"Can you give me a brief summary of what happened before Marie found herself in that situation?" Aldean suddenly asked which made Lillee blush red. He's talking to her but she froze when she remembered that he just asked her to recap. How could she? She only read three chapters of that book because she wanted to audition for that part.

"I... I..." Lillee began to stutter nervously. She had dropped the script, if she went to pick it up again, won't that feel like she had been lying all along?

"Hm?" Aldean questioned which made Lillee stumped for words.

"I..."

"Out." Jarek, who couldn't take it anymore, suddenly said, which made Lillee shocked. Jarek is kicking her out ruthlessly?

But who is Jarek? For sure, Lillee had no choice but to go out under Jarek's order.

"What the hell is this? Did she just come here to audition or show off or what the hell is that?" Assistant Producer Jane whispered angrily.

"How the hell is she White Tigress's sister? They're worlds apart in everything." The judges began to whisper silently to themselves.

"I have always thought that Actress Lilee is an innocent beauty... But seeing that sinister expression that she had when she was looking at White Tigress is making me rethink. She's definitely not that simple." That damned Tinsley! Lillee was boiling with anger by the time she walked out of the door but she tried to pretend to be calm.

"Miss, leave through the other door." The person in charge of calling the contestants said to her.

Lillee was quite glad about this since she wouldn't need to entertain those fake people who'll be pretending to care for her and ask what the situation was.

She was about to take a step when a call came through. Her expression flashed with anger but she quickly hid it and began to leave. "Conrad." She called sweetly immediately after she picked it up.

"How's the audition?" Conrad asked and it almost made her scowl.

Soon, Lillee entered her car and asked him, "What about the investment?"

Conrad scowled angrily. "It turns out that White Tigress's manager had been playing us. The Jarek Media had picked up the budget for the whole movie." Conrad said angrily which made Lillee scowl but she soon calmed down, knowing it wasn't Conrad's fault either, it must be Tinsley's doing. She had purposely played her and Conrad for her own amusement.

"How's the audition?" Conrad asked Lillee.

"I don't know yet, Conrad. I'm tired. I'll be going back home." Lillee muttered in an innocent, tired voice but inwardly she wasn't.

Conrad couldn't get annoyed at Lillee so he asked her to take care of herself and he'd come to check on her the next day.

******

"This is getting annoying. We can't replace the antagonist or second and third female lead yet, I hope the next person is okay." The judges commented in frustration.

If not for President Jarek who kept providing everyone with an expensive lunch and refreshments, they'd have gotten mad due to frustration.

"Hello." Rylee bowed politely as soon as she came in, she didn't show off like she normally does and other contestants do, instead, she appeared extremely simple. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jarek, she was about to yell 'Brother' excitedly when she remembered that she was on stage.
